Good morning and welcome to the reality of the FA Cup.
I think trying to pull player ratings out of that game would be about productive as teaching Dereck Chisora to use cutlery.
The stark reality of playing a League 1 side seemed to take a few by shock yesterday. Yes, Stevenage were a bit rough, tough and generally didn’t play like nice boys. And no, you wouldn’t want to take a horse out on that pitch. But this is the FA Cup, mush. Whether you like it or not that Cup and Tottingham’s history are intertwined. Games like that are the very definition of taking the rough with the smooth.
It’s a traditional English competition where conceivably a gang of part-timers can find themselves playing at Wembley Stadium. Try and get over it.
Could we have done better? Yes. The game was crying out for 442, Bale and Azza to give us width and for all of our players to have been threatened with immediate execution if they hoofed the ball under any circumstances other than clearing it off their own goal line.
Maybe Arry thought the best thing to do was to fight fire with fire. It was an insult to Livermore to leave him on so long. Arry clearly thought that the boy would be able to scrap it out with lads closer to his own level. When what was really required was us to raise the tone with some thought and finesse. Alas, we looked more like a side that was desperately missing 3MP.
Kaboul looked good, Rose looked like a man in urgent need of brain transplant.
Anyhoo, bring ’em back to the Lane and we’ll skin ’em alive. Especially if we can string more than three passes together.
Still in the draw and on the way to Wembley.
And thats the important thing!
Yes but. We should have had a pen. for the removal of Saha’s footwear. Only a miraculous goal-line clearance by PNB stopped Saha from scoring. So, 0-2 then. Job done, no complaints, onwards and upwards (like Les’s passing).
If we didnt make a meal of these encounters we wouldnt be Tottenham Super Tottenham from the Lane now would we!? ;-)
Did anyone see the Mike Parry and Stan Collymore handbags on twitter. Bloody funny. Two people I put in the nonsense category. :silly:
On a different matter. A copy ‘n’ paste from Kitbag when looking to buy a Spurs top for my son.
‘Follow Harry’s Heroes during the 2011/12 season. The rise in success domestically for Spurs has gradually seen them become a major force in the Premier League. Tottenham have a great tradition of winning many titles such as 18 league titles and 5 European Cups. They play their home games at White Hart Lane in front of a 36,310 capacity. They will be looking to regain their dominance in the Premier League in 2011 to try and build on their progression’.
Tottenham have great tradition of wiinning many titles such as 18 league and 5 European?
Blimey, did I just wake up from a coma or somethin’?
I hope a Scouser doesn’t read your post,they would go into a state of serious mistaken identity whining and have to look for somewhere to build a shrine to lay flowers at.
Ouch
