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.
Where’s Mus?
Hes hiding David Haye apparently!
What a nice thing to say Jimlad…..the sentiment of course is mutual… :heart:
Jim@10:29, stupid bloody blog
Its all bollocks of course! I hate you both really!
The sentiment of course is mutual… :-p
Two eggs boiling in the pan, one egg says to the other, “I`ve got a huge crack !” the other egg replies “Stop effing teasing me, i`m not hard yet !”.
Best yoke I’ve heard all night! :winke:
:whistle:
I know….. :shocked2:
He’d be a nightmare after a few sherberts ;-) Did you go Sunday, Harts?
No brother, I watched it at home, will be at the replay though….make no mistake
Likewise, sat it out, like Modders-comfy chair, tea, fags,fuckin’ hated every minute of it, at least when you’re at the game you can let off steam without two dogs attacking you-How anyone can continually watch a game governed by the whim of a television director is beyond me, but I’d best get used to it as this is my last season as a paying spectator.
Where you off to Essex?
Should I have used two oo’s after the “to”. Bloody Merlot!
No! Say it ain’t so…. :-(
Hard times Jim, counting the pennies and they’re not adding up, but we’re in a syndicate- 20 tickets-30 people,which reduces the costs and get’s you to most games,but business is dire right now-so something’s got to give, and I love my dogs
Yeah, ticket holder since 1974-5 bummer, best we’ve ever played in all my years going
Don’t fret buddy.Better times ahead. :daumen:
Well, try telling the old bank manager that-I asked for him a statement today- He said-‘ok, you’re a cnut’
When I was six my dad wrapped me in a blanket to get me in free just so I caught the bug. The strange thing is he still does it today!
:freu :daumen:
The night light is a real give away and i`m feckin` fed up with Brahms Lullaby.
Was your dad Michael Jackson?
Just a thought Jim,but that blanket…was it from an old dosser by any chance,not casting aspersions but bugs and blankets,eh?, your dad’s cruel mate :whistle:
Cracking!
Sad news that brother…..I too love my dogs to bits, I’ve got 3 Springers and a Collie, but Footy comes first….
Walkies must be a nightmare! Fenton Fenton….. :lol:
Oh Deer…. :shifty:
No, that bit was meant to mean that I may have to eat ’em if I remain a Yid, but it’s a wrench all the same, it’s why I get so pissed off with those of us who do and those of them who don’t, yet the latter feel that their 000000.01% donation to Sky gives them the right to bitch, when the foot soldiers don’t moan, hardly ever, especially when you’ve given your all for the cause-but such is life-Southend United beckons-not!
Didn’t get the Fenton bit, please explain-this Shiraz is a little bit heady, duh!
This will explain the Fenton bit.
I don’t feel my “donation to Sky” (in Norway it’s a channel called TV2, but same difference) gives me the right to do anything. The fact that I wake up wondering if King will be fit; the fact that a bad loss puts me in a glum mood (until the next kickoff); the fact that I plan my whole life around making sure I’m in front of a screen where 11 men in white “run about a bit” – this gives me the right to have an opinion.
I get to games when I can, but the economics of it are a bit different when it not only includes extortionate matchday expenses, but an air fare and hotel stay as well.
I get it, your problem is with the negative nellies (and I don’t think you put me in that category, normally). I have a problem with them, too. But I just don’t think seasonticketholdingness is a very good scale of measue for anything, really.
To put it differently; as of next season, will you temper your opinions since you won’t be attanding many games? Didn’t think so.
FENTON!

Well Los, yes I will, but as you said-it’s about accessibility and economics, and actually I’ve no problem with ‘cyber’ supporters, but when they continually moan, berate the club, post personal opinions about the physical characteristics of certain people, but use an avatar to hide their own ugliness and yet never apologize for being consistently wrong, I get a little pissed. Also and more importantly, what difference would it make, if you are a non attendant, where in the world our home games are played?, none whatsoever-and that’s what annoys me most-Fenton-Fenton! Thanks for that-it looks like Richmond Park-oh, Dear
It is Richmond Park, so I’m told.
Paddy and Seamus, two Irish men come accross a girl whose bike has a flat tyre, Seamus leaves Paddy to help her and goes on his way. A few minutes later Paddy passes Seamus on the girls bike. “What the feck happened ?” asks Seamus. “Well i fixed her bike and be jaysus she takes her feckin knickers off, lies on the ground and says, take what you want big boy !” I took the bike. “Good on ye says Seamus, sure the feckin knickers wouldn`t fit ye anyway.”
Oh, dear, still the old ‘un’s are the best ‘un’s
Ancestry…Always there to haunt you! Eh :blush:
Blimey, I thought this was Martin O’Neil’s team talk against the Arse at half time last week – sunderland got on their bikes and left the arse on the floor holding the empty knickers!
Knight to KB3…Check (Discovered Check actually).
Is it that bad Raz Ol’ son?, try Othello, rules are easier at this time of night
