    Decent draw although they can play a bit.

    Even if not selected for TV, this could switch to the Sunday as Woolwich are also at home.

    Knowing the freemasons FA they'll rule that we'll have to switch our game unless Murdoch Enterprises Sky decide to take it as a live one.

    I am glad we draw a EPL club as it won't look so bad when we go out - better to loosing to a 2nd div team. YES, I said when we go out because I really hope arry puts out a really weak side and we get stuffed - WE HAVE to realise the dire situation we now face and MUST put ALL our efforts into to staying in the EPL - Sorry but the FA Cup is a luxury we can not afford this year!

    My Starting team

    Ceasar

    Gunter---Dawson---Dervite---Bale

    Tarrabt--Ghaly---KPB---Bostock

    Obika
    Campbell

    bench, Alnwick, Rose, Allen, Matandari, Gilberto

    If I thought that Rednapp would be party to this type of nonsense I'd seriously consider throwing the towel in. Winning is a habit and the more games we win the better.

    You know when you glance at a post really quickly with exactly reading it I thought that this was the team you would play against them.

    I thought your mind is well and truly lost John

    no way, we have to put out a strong team. spurs have always been a cup side. I'd take a good run in the cup that will boost confidence over getting knocked out and having rested players any day.

    Furhtermore it would be total disrespect to our history in this famous cup if we did not try our best to lift it again COYS.

    Which cup would that be, the EUFA Cup, The Carling Cup or the FA Cup? I know most of you disagree with me, but I think staying up has to be the priority! And I disagree with the people who said we will be safe come Feb - Have you seen us play lately, we are not playing well, and have not for a long while. I am sorry but we can not afford to use energy and risk players on the FA cup this year, it is a long hard road and as I said one we can not afford the luxury off this year! Maybe the Carling as we only need 3 more games to win it, but the FA cup is a long ole slog and to be honest I wouldn't see us winning it anyway.

    Harry should use the cups (as he has a little bit already) to play some of the players who are not getting games and rest the ones we need to help us STAY IN THE EPL!

    You have heard my opinion, I have heard yours - I guess we will see what Harry's is and what he's intent is when we see the team to play in our cup games - personally I think you will not see a full strength team in any cup, unless we get to semi's that is :eek:

    Sorry John, have to disagree with you on this one.

    The FA Cup has always been special to Spurs fans and I think the manager/club would be doing a dis-service to the supporters by neglecting this competition.

    I agree that our current EPL situation is still not good, however I feel that we have enough strength to comfortably finish mid-table and if we can then nick one of the cups then we'll get another season of eufa cup.

    COYS
