YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

West Ham 3-4 Tottenham Hotspur

Ho-lee shit. I am legitimately at a loss for words. That was without a doubt as good a soccer game as I have ever seen- in truth it was as good a game as I've seen in any sport. I was at Game five of the 2001 World Series, I saw Game 7 of the ALCS in 2003, but those are totally overshadowed by today's game. The desperation of being down 2-0 t halftime, hope springing from Defoe's penalty, nearly kicking a hole in my TV after Zamora's header, (how do you let that cocksucker go unmarked?) and then sheer joy out of Berbatov. And that's not even beginning to talk about Stalteri at the end- how does that even fucking happen? Very well done for Spurs, up into 8th in the league with the possibility of sixth with a win against Watford coming up- And great for momentum with Braga and Chelsea away in the UEFA and FA Cups, respectively.
You've got to, however, feel for West Ham, as they gave everything they had and came out with nothing, and this looks like it might lock them into a spot in the Championship next season. Great performances by Tevez, whose goal celebration was fantastic, and a good job, despite a missed chance, by Marlon Harewood, holding play up very well. The only thing left to say, really, is COYS!
