Spurs V WBA match thread.

ziedth

Doesn't need to be said,

A must win today. Anything less then a win for us and we're playing for 5th IMHO.

everdead.ie

JD for crouch and Kaboul start only two changes

everdead.ie

Here's our starting XI -
Gomes;
Kaboul, Gallas, Dawson, Assou-Ekotto;
Van der Vaart, Huddlestone, Modric, Bale;
Defoe, Pavlyuchenko.

Here are our subs - Cudicini, Bassong, Jenas, Lennon, Pienaar, Sandro, Crouch.

West Brom 1 up odemwingue

Kiith

I don't know why i'm surprised...

0-1 to West Brom.

Gamesnash.ie: Pat

wtf BBC are saying 2-0 as latest score ??

everdead.ie

Assou ekotto injured in that goal Sandro on Bale to LB I imagine

T-b0n3

Great start!

Any good streams? Mine aint the best.

mickman

pool winning .hot on ur heels

everdead.ie

Pav scores 1-1

mickman

great left foot strike from pav

Kiith

Great finish by Pav. We need to see that more often.

1-1.

everdead.ie

Is Pav left or right footed?

ziedth

Right IIRC.

mickman

defoe and bale very ineffective

everdead.ie

Just saw the first goal looked like Benny got back and then he grabbed his thigh and tried to shoulder Barge Odemwingue because he couldn't run anymore a real shame because he had gotten back and if it hadn't pulled I think he would of gotten it

mickman

thought we were going to show some urgency in the second half but we are playing as if ahead by 3-4 goals. not looking good here, id being on lennon and crouch for bale and defoe at this stage.

BERBA

Glebee

Thank Christ for that. Whats the chances we can kill this game off now please;)

SuprSi

Bugger. Some goal.

Kiith

**** sake.

2-2

mickman

4th gone now. shocking defending again at home. dawson handled the ball 5 mins ago anyway and got away with the peno.

last 3 games at home and we have conceded 7 goals. shocking

everdead.ie

2-2 Simon Cox
Come on we need a winner

SuprSi

If we don't win today, we'll have had only 1 win in all competitions in 10 games. Shocking stuff.

exactly, we cant go around saying that we were unlucky etc, we have thrown it away ourselves. draw after draw at home against poor teams

thurs night football next season!!!

BERBA

8 home draws:(

Kiith

We were awful today. Not one standout performance, with some shocking one's thrown in. Lennon was god awful when he came on. It's simply not good enough, and with our recent performances, we don't deserve Champions League football.

KingdomYid

Well i guess that is that then. Thought Pav was poor apart from his goal, nearly giving the ball away every time. Odemwingie looked dangerous everytime he got the ball, could see that equaliser coming

ziedth

No I'm afraid that's it unless city go into freefall and then I wouldn't look past bloody Liverpool swooping in.

I'd like to see us at least be in with an outside shout come our last couple of games.

fabvinny

disaster of a result!! we will look back on this game and the home defeat to wigan as the reason we didnt get 4th.so many home draws!!!!!!!!

tippspur

Disastrous result for us today,I didn't see the game so can't say to much about it but I can't understand why Harry didn't start Lennon and Sandro,I think we are fooked for 4th now.:mad:

After seeing how Lennon played when he came on, i can understand it just fine.

This is worse then a slow death ... we'll probably go and beat City now and it still won't be enough. Anyway, they deserve it.

europa league next season me arse. How are we going to challenge for a top 4 place (or better) if we are in the arsehole of eastern europe a dozen thursdays next year.

Exactly. That's why I'm hoping Liverpool catch us (only because CL qualification is gone). Only problem is I think we're near the top of the fair play league as well

keane=cock

i said it in jan and i say it again. we slipped up in jan not signing a top striker. and i dont wanna hear all the we tried sign 7 or 8 strikers on the deadline day. that leaving everything to the last min doesnt fly. make ur intention known from the get go and start hagglin over a price. it will have cost us more to pay the extra mill for a player in the long run because we wont(may not) have the revenue generated from champions league football next season

keane=cock

also we could have easily attracted some really big names had we secured the champions league again with the way we approached the competition this year. free flowing attacking football which was a joy to watch. we cant compete with the money city are throwing around so we need our football style to do it for us, that and top level competitions



sorry i am aware most of this is not about the west brom match b ut it is related.

Third behind Chelsea and Fulham, so second really. Here's the table.

mickman

Yeah but both strikers scored yesterday and we still didn't win. Their first goal was cos benny got injured and fell , second one was a lucky strike. Not much could b done .

It's too late to worry about it now anyway. We are toast . Genuine chance of finishing 6th. Chelsea will crush us at the bridge and pool will prob beat us on final day to finish ahead of us

wellboys

Ah come on lads.. Have some faith in the team. 1 point behind City who play Blackburn away, always a tough away game. There's huge games ahead but have some faith.

I think Man City only need something like eight points from their remaining games to secure fourth place. They surely won't screw that up.

2nd Row Donkey

Is there something wrong with us for wishing that we DONT get europa league football next season?

... couple of years ago we would have giving our left hand for european action of any sort, now we've CL snobs!

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with our point of view .. its UEFA and their half arsed 2nd rate competition thats the problem - they seriously need to re-think the format.

We dont play Liverpool on the final day !

Keep the faith.
City can have off days like us. They have lost to Sunderland, West Brom, Wolves. They have lost more games than us.
I think they could still bottle it.
They way this season has gone for everyone it is far from over.
