    I know that this is early to start a match thread but I was struggling to figure out when this game was being played given that the gooners were also drawn at home and were playing at lunchtime on Saturday. We play Charlton at 1.30pm on Sunday 9th. At this moment it does not seem that this match will be shown on any TV station worldwide and, given that it directly clashes with the Man Utd v Liverpool game, this may not change

    My p2p should give you a link thought if you're interested in watching it online.
    As for the match, IMO anyways, its not at all important, we should field a half strong team, but Harry being English will probably take it very seriously. Hopefully it they wont pose much of a threat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 546 ✭✭✭WHL


    Will the p2p work if no TV stations are covering it? I had presumed that it wouldn't. Doesn't bloody matter anyway. Just been told by the boss that we are going to the panto at 1pm on Sunday :(

    As for the team, I think that we should rest as many as possible and take a chance. Would it be the end of the world if we were knocked out of the FA Cup. Should the following not be good enough to equal Charlton
    Pletikosa/Cudacini,
    Corluka, Bassong, Dawson, Gallas
    Bentley/Beckham?, Sandro, Jenas, Krancjar,
    Defoe, Crouch

    Players just coming back (Dawson, Gallas, Defoe) get a valuable run. Usual subs all get a game and we rest the guys who have played a lot. Win/win. Anyway it is generally accepted that we have the best squad in the league so we need to start using it

    More importantly, three points to be won first at Goodison on Wednesday night before we turn our sights to Sunday

    Does the ginger Pele still play for Charlton?

    He sure does!!

    I'm not gonna lie here, I loved him. So out of his depth and I think he just knew that he shouldn't have been playing at the level he was at. A sad day when he eventually left.

    Anyway, playbthe reserves. No way I think we can fight on three fronts. Play as weak as a team we can (which will hopefully still beat Charlton) till we get knocked out.

    I heard that they let their manager go today. I hope that we don't see a bounce-back reaction


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,395 ✭✭✭Hatch99


    Gareth Bale will be rested as Harry Redknapp expects to make changes for the visit of Charlton in the FA Cup Third Round on Sunday.

    The Welshman suffered a back spasm in the midweek defeat at Everton but the manager reports the injury is not thought to be serious.

    And Gareth will not be the only regular sitting out this London derby as Harry looks to rotate his squad against the Addicks.

    Jermain Defoe is available again after suspension and is expected to start, while there could also be places in the side for the likes of Vedran Corluka, Sandro and Niko Kranjcar.

    Tom Huddlestone, Ledley King, Jamie O’Hara and Jonathan Woodgate remain sidelined through injury, while Younes Kaboul serves the final game of his three-match ban.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,791 ✭✭✭Big Pussy Bonpensiero


    Players that shouldn't play at all:

    Luka Modric
    Rafael Van der Vaart
    Gareth Bale
    Mcihael Dawson
    Willian Gallas
    BAE
    Alan Hutton
    Peter Crouch

    Players that shouldn't be risked:
    Pav
    Palacios
    Lennon
    Gomes

    We have more than enough cover to field a team capable of beating Charlton without them. I'd go;

    Pletikosa
    Charlie --- Bassong --- Khumolo (spelling?) --- ?
    Bentley --- Jenas --- Sandro --- Kranjcar
    Defoe --- Keane

    Dont know who to put LB, is Kaboul still suspended? Would like to see the new lad in action, didn't see much of him in SA and know very little tbh. Would like to see Gio given a game too, and if O' Hara is fit perhaps he should get 10 minutes or so.

    It's an odd thing to say but I don't care one bit about this game. I realise the importance of the FA Cup and the prestige that goes with it, but we need to be at full strength for the Utd game next weekend and I believe this is just a distraction. I'm with THFC on the player list too. Everyone speaks about our strength in depth, well maybe Harry can show us by leaving our key, more-likely-to-be-injured players out. VDV, Bale, Modric must not play, under any circumstances.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 546 ✭✭✭WHL


    Kaboul out for another game. Gallas could play on Sunday at left-back - he hasn't had much football lately and we have cover for him with Dawson & Kaboul. I presume that Woodgate isn't close enough

    Dawson should be fairly fresh considering he's only just back. Bassong needs games so he should play. Charlie is only just back in the team after a long time out so he's okay.

    Cudicini

    Corluka Dawson Bassong A.N Other


    Bentley Jenas Sandro Kranjear

    Keane
    Defoe/Pav


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 858 ✭✭✭RichMc70



    Cudicini

    Corluka Dawson Bassong A.N Other


    Bentley Jenas Sandro Kranjear

    Keane
    Defoe/Pav

    I'd be suprised if either Bentley or Keane would want to get themselves cup-tied, seeing as they'll both be moving shortly.

    Very good point. Gio would come in then with Pav probably.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,994 ✭✭✭KingdomYid


    I would go with:

    Pletikosa
    Charlie
    Dawson
    Bassong
    Gallas
    Krancjar
    Sandro
    Jenas
    Gio
    Crouch
    Defoe

    Crouch has not started many games recently (everton excepted) so that is why I have gone with him instead of Pav.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,672 ✭✭✭keane=cock


    on the p2p streams. if there is highlights on match of the day there is camera so surely some streams will be working.

    delighted to hear harry is resting some players. as stated above i dont care too much about this game. we should have a squad to win this match either way. fringe players who wont be sold to play those who will be sold any point cup tie-ing them?


    so this isnt on the tele no?
    any way come on you spurs

    Anyone travelling tomorrow be warned, trains are cúnted from Stansted with a bus replacement running between Stansted and Bishops Stortford.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 823 ✭✭✭kakee


    Hadn't realised Gary Doherty was with Charlton. He should get a good welcome tomorrow.
    Gary Doherty was influential in Spurs’ run to the FA Cup semi-final 10 years ago, scoring three goals in that run.

    Never really made the grade at Premier league level, as he wasnt belessed with talent but never the less a player who put in 100% that he had for Spurs and also for Ireland.

    I hope he does get a good round of applause tomorrow. Players like himself, deserve it.

    On a side note. Half time at the Liverpool match the presenter (cant remember who) has said David Beckham WONT be coming to Spurs on loan. Personally I'm delighted. COYS

    Yep, this is ideal. No involvement in playing for the first team but the players can still benefit from his experience when training. Hopefully see some improvements from Lennon in his final ball.

    Good stuff at the Lane too, 3 up and by the sounds of it cruising along nicely.

    Sky Sports website had an interview with Redknapp & quoted him as saying that the deal is dead for insurance reasons after he got injured last year at Milan

    I'm really hoping Liverpool can pull one out and draw there game 1-1 would help us out hugely

    Does it go to extra-time or is it straight to a replay?

    straight replay I just meant it would help with congesting their schedule


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,153 ✭✭✭everdead.ie

    Townsend was very impressive on his debut apparently, bodes well for future:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,153 ✭✭✭everdead.ie


    Away to Fulham in the next round


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,058 ✭✭✭tippspur


    Not to bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,299 ✭✭✭BERBA


    Bad draw tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,932 ✭✭✭SuprSi


    Yeah could've been easier, though far from the worst.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    I'm happy with fulham we can put out a weakish team and should still take them but if we did loose it's far from embarresing.
