Was this the real reason Spurs beat Chelsea?

It appears that all was not well in the Chelsea camp prior to their defeat in the Carling Cup Final on Sunday.

By all accounts, a training-ground melee may have led to the downfall of Avram Grant’s side. Apparently John Terry and assistant manager Henk ten Cate had a bust-up less than 24 hours before the Wembley final.

The Sun claims the Dutchman went face to face with the Chelsea FC skipper before a heated incident ensued. The newspaper quotes a witness as saying: "The session was supposed to put the finishing touches to the final plans for Wembley - but it just descended into a massive row. All the players have become exasperated by the shambolic nature of some of the recent training sessions.

"And there was a lot of unrest among the squad because no one knew what the team was going to be for Wembley. Everyone was trying to guess what was going on and in the end the frustration became too much.
