FUCKING HELL.. THIS JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER !!!

Tottenham captain Ledley King says he will beat the knee injuries which have plagued him for the last two seasons.
King made just his seventh appearance of the season in Sunday's Carling Cup final victory over Chelsea, but he fully expects to regain fitness.
"It's been a tricky situation, but hopefully I will get it right - even if it's not this season it will be next season," said the 27-year-old.
"I am not worried about it one bit. I'm confident about the future."
King has endured a wretched two years with injuries with a broken metatarsal ruling him out of the 2006 World Cup.
The centre-back has also had to undergo knee surgery in the past two summers, and his condition has restricted his ability to train in recent weeks.
He made his first appearance of the season on Boxing Day and managed six games in fairly quick succession, but Spurs rested him after the 5-1 win over Arsenal in the Carling Cup semi-finals in order to prepare him for the final.

But after Spurs beat Chelsea 2-1 at Wembley to end their nine-year wait for a trophy, King looked ahead to a brighter future.
"My desire has not gone away. I'm not 100% at the moment. I haven't done much training in the last month or so," he said.
"Once I get my knee right, I will be but I'm not worried about that.
"I have a lot of football to come and will stay with the team. I'm confident there are more trophies to come. As a team, we're going places."
King was praised for his performance against Chelsea as he and man-of-the-match Jonathan Woodgate limited the effectiveness of Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka.
"This was the sort of game that it was very important that Ledley played in," said Tottenham manager Juande Ramos.
"He made a tremendous effort to be able to play.
"Having lost the last time he played in a final [the 2002 League Cup against Blackburn], this was a new experience for him and one which he deserved."
