5. M. Wenger getting his only taste of champagne this season when sprayed by the Spurs players.

5. Wee Theo Walcott getting to enjoy his last late night in big boys football before joining Orient.

5. Adebayor doing what should come naturally to any sentient being and headbutting a gooner.

5. Wenger needing to learn to lose more gracefully as the current crop look like they'll be doing a lot more of it.

5. Doing it again soon!

What?! The Who wrote 'Tragedy'?

Bugger me, I never knew that.

From wikipedia

In 1998, Steps covered "Tragedy", releasing it as a double A-side with "Heartbeat". It debuted at No.2 on the UK singles chart before climbing to the top spot, achieving platinum status. A dance step of putting both hands parallel to the sides of the head became the trademark move of the British group. "Tragedy" has sold more copies than all three previous Steps singles combined. It spent eighteen weeks in the Top 20 and thirty weeks on the chart in total.
