    It will all come crashing down eventually, it just depends on how long NSIS wants to keep up the dumb facade.

    You been given the answer.

    Add to that the two clubs never met in a final in the intervening years. So, what other comparison would you suggest was given?l One that 'proves' that Spurs' win was a fluke, I suppose?

    The whole point is that the 1967 final had no bearing whatsoever on the 2008 final.
    So to suggest that because you won in 1967 it meant that 2008 was no fluke is laughable.

    I don't actually think that 2008 was a fluke for Spurs, I just think it's laughable to say that it wasn't a fluke based on winning a final 50 years earlier <laugh>

    A fluke is what happened in Scotland in 1967

    No, the whole point, which you have sought to change, was that a simple direct answer was given to a direct question.

    How else would you suggest that question was answered?

    Why was the question asked in the first place ? What was the context of it being asked in the first place ?

    The points are, firstly, that our win over Chelsea in 2008 was no fluke. We won fair and square.
    Secondly, as we had never played Chelsea in any final since 1967, no other possible comparison could be given.
    Lastly, as I've pointed out numerous times, Bodanki asked a direct question, he was given a direct answer.

    When did Spurs beat Chelsea in a Cup Final prior to 1967 ?

    i am curious to see if there is a trend

    I agree that 2008 was no fluke, but the point is that the 1967 final was being used as evidence that the 2008 final was no fluke, that's the laughable bit and that's why Bodanki asked the question in the first place.

    So your title challenge 84/5 proves your next title challenge 15/16 is no fluke?

    And your European cup challenge 1962 proves your 2010 CL campaign was no fluke?

    If it was no fluke, why should any evidence be needed?

    Spuds in meltdown since their 13 minute title challenge ended. It was no fluke though! They topped the table in 1984!!
