Spurs V Arsenal 7th Feb

Belfast Yid

Fellow spurs, i'm over in London all next week and am desperate to get 2 tickets for the Arsenal (scum) game. Has anybody any ideas as to how i could get them! Would i be able to get 2 at The Lane?

Depends on how you're looking to get them. You could keep an eye on the club ticket site to see if any tickets are released for sale from ST holders who aren't going, thought they'll be few and far between.

If you're looking for a tout then you will have to pay way overs the odds, there's usually loads hanging around the High Rd on a matchday, can't miss them.

Alright mate, not sure if too late but if you are a club member there is one ticket on the ticket exchange website for the game at the moment but you'd want to move quick. best of luck.

Usually open at 12 mate (they tend to be fairly strict on this)
O'Neills at Stansted is your best option for a drink before 12.

Cheers Shane, The Bill Nic opens early at 11 for early kick off just wasnt sure if coach did too. Dont think I should bring the young lad to Bill Nic in case the girls start dancing at the pole on the bar before the match.

KingdomYid

speaking of pre match pints who will be heading where before the game so we could meet for a scoop.And can anyone tell me how to get to the Bill Nic

Mullo76

Its on Northhumberland park. Going away from ground up high st pass the junction with WHL on your left, then take the next right. Keep going and you will see it on your right hand side. Handy little short cut through the school beside it for getting to ground esp if you are in east/Parklane stands.

dont get to carried away though they dont strip just dance just wear very little.

On another note not sure where I will go for a jar prob either there or the coach and horses with the latter the fav at mo as I have my son with me.

I hope to be in the coach at a little after 12 as long as there's no snow-related delays. Not leaving Dublin until 8.45am, into Heathrow.

KingdomYid

Were gonna 5-0:cool:
Keane hattrick & maybe Dawon & O'Hara;)
I think this is the game we usually put up a scrap & a good hiding for Gunners is long overdue:D

keane=cock

not likely opel dave but i like your optimism!!!

todays line up for super spurs:


TEAM
Cudicini, Corluka, Assou-Ekotto, Woodgate, Dawson, Lennon, Palacios, Jenas, Modric, Keane, Pavlyuchenko.

SUBS - Gomes, Chimbonda, Bale, Huddlestone, Zokora, Taarabt, Bent.

there you go bud.

cheers bro.

keane=cock

good perforamances by lennon, dawson, modric and especially palacios. was really impressed with the latter. he is strong mobile and a good tackler based on todays showing. i was not all that sure about the price we paid but he look very good today.

on the other hand i thought chimps was terrible when he came on today. corluka had a bad game by his really high standards in my eyes.

SuprSi

Very pleased with Palacios. He can pass, can run, and can tackle and hassle more than any other player we have. He will be huge for us. You're right about Corluka - I thought he looked dodgy at times, which is unlike him.

Outside that, good play from the rest of the team though we have to be disappointed that we didn't win against an average Arsenal team. Really disappointed with Modric's effort at the end as he really should have won it for us.

therecklessone

I thought Modric had a poor second half, he should never have been on the left of midfield but himself and BAE had no understanding of what the other was going to do. BAe had a poor game defensively, but I do feel he was let down going forward by Modric's movement (for e.g. dropping back behind the ball when BAE was in possession on the left). You could see it wasn't working out, HR should have made a change (I'd have tried Jenas on the right, lennon on the left and Modric/Palacios in the middle). On the other side, Corluka had possibly his worst game for us?

Lennon and Palacios stood out for me, the latter did everything very simple but very effective.

Pavlyuchenko was very lethargic today, but his replacement wasn't much better...again, playing long high balls up to Bent in a hope he'll win the ball and knock it down is a waste of possession. Thought Keane showed some nice touches, and shock of shocks he won two headers!!! Some of his movement was a little stale, but I'd expect that to improve with game time.

Sorry for sounding negative, but with them down to 10 men that game was there for the taking. I honestly think Redknapp was afraid to go for it in the 2nd half in case we lost out on the point, we will wait a long time before we are handed a chance to beat them in the league again.

Did you get to the game in the end ?

Thought Palacios was outstanding, he'll hopefully be a top player for us over the next few years.

Great chance for Modric at the death, pity because the game was there for the taking, and it'll be a long while till we get a better chance to beat them fcukers.

A chance to push away from the bottom missed, a long hard battle ahead.

therecklessone

Yes mate, was in my seat as the players took to the field.

Dublin Spur

Palacious - Emmence

RAUL DUKE

Fair result today,spurs were poor in the second half after a very dood first half.Palcious was unbelievable,how many tackles can one man make?Outstanding!

Thougt there was a definite shove on woodgate for the disallowed goal.Even if it was harsh the 2 spurs players on the line stopped playing well before eboue even took the shot.ekotto had nearly walked past eboue by the time he got the shot away.

Spider_Baby!

Devastated that we didnt win. Palacios was great today, MOTM in his first derby! Keane showed some good touches etc, but not as lively as i had hoped.

Pav looks knackered, he has been playing non-stop for nearly a year and a half. I think next season he will shine.

Commentator said they find it difficult to see Bent in the club after the summer, which i understand but i honestly think we should hold onto him.

We missed Defoe today...

Simple Pieman

Just felt our passing could have been a tad better, particularly against 10 men.

Anyway, straight back to Northumberland Park yesterday, I noticed that there was a direct service to Stansted Airport at 15.39. If this is a regular thing now, it can only help you chaps.

Yes mate, it's part of the clubs efforts to get more public transport options now the CPZ is in place.

Thanks for posting, you've just reminded me of something needs doing.

I honestly believe that the sooner we can off-load Bent, the better.
I feel that he can only be effective if we were in a position to sit back and play counter-attacking football, utilising his undoubted pace. Unfortunately we can't, given our league position, play that way. And, as a Centre Forward who can hold the ball up, he is bloody awful.

galinka

Explains why i never saw you Ronan - we were an hour late to Stansted also - plane problem that was nothing of course eventually. Good dozen on the flight going over.
Who are these people???

galinka

Bent-
If Sunderland or Newcastle off £10M i'll drive him up! Absolutely clueless - i'd prefer Campbell.
