Nobody Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Very excited about this game, would be great if we could get something as it would keep us close to Chelsea and Arsenal even if they were to win. A loss is expected though, so won't be the end of the world. With the two Dembas though, there's always a good chance that we'll score a goal or two.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I'd be thrilled if they started with the same line up as they did tonight. Everyone will probably be back and fit, though. That midfield looks as average as ours at the minute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 After watching them tonight at Anfield - no doubt their pace and Modric will cause us problems, but I keep saying the sheer fact we have Pap Cisse and Demba Ba will be our wildcard. One or two Guthrie through balls to Cisse behind and we could well sneak an early goal. I have to think King and Dawson will have a sleepless night or 2 knowing they have to face a Demba Ba who is scoring for fun at the moment and can score from nothing it seems. Look we did pretty damn well against them at home with their "pace" - who's to say we can't handle it again? I'm buzzing for this one, counting down for it. No hiding from us man, lets have a right go at them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Even if he does get found guilty tomorrow , the press will no doubt spin it as though the players are 'doing it for Harry', despite him being a criminal. It's so obvious that it will happen, despicable softern cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 We have a canny record against them down there, especially when we think we're going to get humped. Remember Oba's goal? Fuck me even Geremi and Nicky fucking Butt scored, we're that lucky. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Just watched Martins' strike there, fucking hell it's just as good as I remember it. The power is just something else, Robinson (?) isn't anywhere near it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Amazing goal, and Nicky Butt's finest hour. One of my favourite games of recent times, loved the needle the game had in it and the way we came out like a team that had been wronged in the second half. We always tend to play better when collectively fucked off about something. In regards to this weekend, if we don't lose I'm going to start officially getting carried away. A draw would be a smashing result, especially if we take advantage of the break and the subsequent home fixtures after that. We can even WDL in every three games until the end of the season and we'll be there or thereabouts, like, and that's not especially good/bad form either way (typical mid-table stuff really).

madras Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 From Pardew.... "We can go to Tottenham and let our hair down. We will have a go and if we get beat, we get beat." bizarre thing to say. sounds like a lower league club going to play a top premier side in the cup.

Ketsbaia Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Does Bale get played on the right now? Whichever flank it is, we should put Santon on him otherwise he'll destroy Simpson. It'll be a respectable defeat for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 He was shite at SJP, but he was great at WHL last season. Neither affect how he'll do on Saturday though and he's really improved his consistency in the last few months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Before our last game he had just 1 goal & nowt else in 6 games. Since then he has 9 goals & 8 assists in 16 games & hasnt gone more than one game without doing one of either. So different levels of form. We should try to learn from the way pool kept him largely out of the game tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I don't think Liverpool kept him out of the game, he was just dreadful anytime he got the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Kuyt/Kelly worked hard to block him as an option. Doubt he touched it more than 4 times in the first half, started drifting afterwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 My main hope is that King might not be able to play. He's absolutely outstanding, their most important player by some margin imo and while Dawson and Kaboul have improved immeasurably it makes a huge difference to Spurs when Ledley isn't fit. He struggles with two games in a week generally and if he doesn't make it we'll have a much better, albeit still very small, chance of taking something. Realistically they're a fair bit stronger than us squad wise, would be class if we gave it a go and got somewhere though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Won't happen, but I'd love to see Ben Arfa on the left, and Jonas right for this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I don't think Liverpool kept him out of the game, he was just dreadful anytime he got the ball. His awful finish near the end summed up his night, couple of times he didnt look at the races rather than Liverpool keeping him quiet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically they're a fair bit stronger than us squad wise, would be class if we gave it a go and got somewhere though. Monday night to Saturday evening is right on the limit of Ledley's recovery time ................ and that's assuming he didn't get a kick in the Liverpool game. That said, Kaboul and Dawson aren't bad and most of the absentees from last night are expected to be fit. A more important bearing on the game is both Tiote and Cabaye missing for you. 2-0 to Spurs is my guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 2-0 to Spurs is my guess. I can see you winning but con't see you keeping a clean sheet against Ba and Cisse, or even Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it isn't as both Kaboul and King should be ok but Nelsen imo is a damn good cb (when fit). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
