An hour before the closing date for ST applications I had decent flights sorted through Zurich (think they were about €350) to Athens but decided to blow it out cos I didn't know anybody who was travelling and I've a hospital appointment next week anyway.

Fúcked if I'm going to Kazan either!

Can't see Modric playing in this game, might be Parker + Livermore with Huddlestone and Modric on the bench for part of the 2nd half.

Might even see Kane up front (with Pav) to keep Defoe and Ade fit for Liverpool.

I think you have done your time at away games to entitle you to miss a few , long trip alright. I do wonder how fellas can afford to travel to all the games, fair play to them, Im just jealous I cant do it

Hatch99

tonne of injuries, team of kids by the sounds of it...

Mr. Guappa

I'd go with a team of reserves anyway. Play the likes of Cudicini/Gomes, Corluka, Bassong, Pav, Gio, Livermore and whoever else is available/registered.

Am looking forward to this one, mostly because we will be playing younger players and fringe players. It is a chance to see how they react and perform in a higher standard of competition. I have no idea about PAOK, so will not try to make a prediction just hoping to see good performances from the likes of Gio, Falque, Carroll, Kane and Co.

Kiith

Same here. Looking foward to them getting a good run out, and if they do well, i hope Harry rewards them by keeping them together. Looks like there's been a load of changes anyway, with 10 players who started against Wolves being left at home.

Antisocialiser

Yeh this was the squad named:

Tottenham (from): Gomes, Cudicini, Archer, Bassong, Corluka, Walker, Waller-Lassen, Livermore, Townsend, Fredericks, Carroll, Nicholson, Parrett, Pavlyuchenko, Dos Santos, Falque, Kane, Lancaster, Pritchard.

It's hard to see where the goals are coming from :eek:

With the injuries we have we just can't risk anymore i suppose.

Leinstersqspur

These guys came 4th in the Greek league, not world beaters, however they did put 5 past Valerenga in the last round so they can score goals.

It'll be a tough test for the youngsters, serious make-shift defence, surprised Ceballos and Coulibaly are not in the squad??

Harry is dead right though, even if we lose this game, it's all about beating Liverpool on Sunday!

T-b0n3

I'm happy to see a young/fringe player squad. No need to have our starting XI getting injured for the weekend etc.

Kiith

Hope Kane and Dos Santos get a good run out.

Although I remember the Hearts home game so I'm not expecting too much!

This bloodzeed hq is always worth a shout.

Antisocialiser

jeeez gotta feel for Gomez on the bench

T-b0n3

Kane should have had a penalty, instead finds himself in the book.

Sound ref.

T-b0n3

And now they have a peno.

Still unsure if he actually touched the ball or not.


Goal...

1 down.

EDIT RETAKE

AND HE MISSED

hahah

tippspur

Good first half for us,robbed of a penno though.

tippspur

Happy enough with that result,well done to the youngsters and Cudacini who made e few fine saves.

Hatch99

Fcuking brilliant. Delighted with that.
Everyone one of them played there part.
Great experience for the kids.
Proud of every one of them.
COYS

ziedth

And Rovers got hammered

Leinstersqspur

Great result for the young players, particularly Carroll and Kane.... Charlie was very assured at CB, I would have him in instead of Bassong in the EPL who gets worse every game I see him.
Pav was poor and Gio doesn't look fit.
Future looks bright for a few of these kids, COYS!

ziedth

Gio souls have been shipped out with Crouch & Keane. Any idea what kinda money he is on? I have never thought much of it. Great experience for the young lads. I'm not bothered with this thing at all. If the young lads can get us into the last 8 then play a strong team other then that I think we should stick with the kids.

Kiith

Agree with most comments above, and fair play to the young lads. Kane especially was good. I have to say though, Pav was absolutely awful tonight. Mistake after mistake, and never looked like doing anything. One of the worst performances i've seen from him. Hopefully one of the youngsters will start ahead of him from now on.

Pav is just a waste of time. His attitude is pathetic

Dublin Spur

Fair enough.
Fcuk european competitions.
Fcuk the young players and there futures.
Fcuk any potential that carroll, kane and the likes might have, let them rot on loan in league 2.
Forget the great experience that tonight might have given them.

Back to the real stuff on Sunday

Mullo , open back up that rovers thread

For his talent - Pav really grates my carrot. I have said this before, he is not good/consistent enough. Still, wait til he scores the his next gaol and then its 'pointing to my name on the shirt' celebration. AAggghhh, :mad::mad::mad:

Just out of interest will you be making the trek to support Rovers in all away games?

Poor oul Pav was muck altogether. Really impressed with these young players, seemed really composed with the ball and played some good stuff at times. Delighted they got a point. Looks like townsend isnt the quickest.
Harry Kane a big boy for 18 and like the others always seemed to want the ball.

What's great is that Kane and Carroll are locals to the area so very likely not to have there heads turned if they turn out to be top class.

I think if this team can play 4 or 5 times together in this competition the experience will be invaluable. Actually delighted we are in this competition now and really excited to see these young players again.
10 times more beneficial than any reserve league i think.

therecklessone

I thought all the kids done well last night, showed a lot of composure in a hostile enough atmosphere. PAOK were a poor side though.

Pavlyuchenko and dos Santos were absolute muck, I know it must feel like they are being sidelined by playing with the kids but it wouldn't hurt for them to show a little fight to try get back in the team. On that display they should both be looking for new clubs in January.

i was giving out during the week about vdv moaning that he wasnt selected to go to greece but compared to pav's attitude it is excellent.

pav is a disgrace. ever since he joined he has been "i love spurs" - " i hate spurs" . if he plays 5 games then he will stay at spurs for life- ask him to play europa league and he starts crying again. he dosent seem to reliase that by playing well when asked is his only way to get in the first team

heres hoping he pisses off in january and leandro replaces him
