Tottenham Hotspur: "To Dare Is To Do" II

[Deacon]

it a tough run home by any stretch.
liverpool, swansea, everton, chelsea, man city are all good sides.

anyway good to win thismorning. i taped it but knew the score cos my winning bet comes up on my phone

Similar situation but refused to check my phone until after I watched the replay this morning

 

[Twizzle]

Holtby was rested so he looks like he'll be playing against Inter.

Dempsey was injured for the Goons game but not sure how serious.

Siggy looked good, I'd be happy for him to play instead of Dempsey anytime. Hell I'd be happy for him to start at striker ahead of Ade

No news on Dembele yet.

 

[Deacon]

Luka can only play well in the UK it seems, he might no longer be with us but it was good to see

 

[Twizzle]

They were shopping him around in the January transfer window.

 

[Deacon]

Wont be back, possibly the team he helped knock out today

 

[Twizzle]

3 zip against Inter who really have dropped from their achievements a few years back, although they rested a few players

Lennon did a Hammy and taken off but not too bad.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Another goal from Bale.

Real Madrid are going to be very hard to beat next year with both Ronaldo AND Bale tearing it up in attack.

Deadly on the counter!

 

[Twizzle]

I dont think he will leave this summer, assuming we qualify for CL, he has said he wants to stay a while longer yet and he is signing a contract upgrade at the end of this season.

Madrid see him as a Ronny replacement as they both play the same position and Ronny as 2 years left on his contract at Madrid.

 

[hellteam]

We really blew that one

 

[Twizzle]

First loss this year
Had to happen at some stage I guess

Morning

 

[Twizzle]

120 minutes to get past Inter and now 5 players in the England squad, some of our players are gonna be pretty tired.

Jeez, and I thought Chelsea made things hard for themselves...

 

[Mong]

I wonder if Twizzle was terrified..

 

[hellteam]

Haha it's never easy for Spurs is it.

There's going to be a lot of detractors because of that match, but f**k it. We've just beaten Lyon and then Inter in European ties, and mixed in with that was a win in the derby against Arsenal.

Will be interesting to see how we back up against Fulham. At least Bale and Lennon will be fresh. I'd give Holtby a start, though he has been a bit disappointing lately.

Regarding the Europa League, I think we need to start with Lloris next game. Friedel is ok and can pull off some great saves, but with our high line we need a keeper that is quick and keen to come off his line to kill off the danger.

There was a few times in that game where it seemed like the Defenders were waiting for the keeper to come out.

 

[Twizzle]

completely agree

we play a very high defensive line under AVB and Lloris is one of the few keepers around who relish those conditions

Friedel let in 2 that I reckon Lloris would have stopped and he's looking a bit rotund atm, obviously not as fit as he was

and Livermore is useless, be good to get Azza back for the Fulham game.

 

[hellteam]

No Tottenham game this week, so boring.

Stats time, our last goal in the EPL by a striker was on 1st January, over 850 minutes of game time ago.

Also, still can't believe we haven't got a penalty all year...

 

[Twizzle]

I think we need a rest.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Also, still can't believe we haven't got a penalty all year...

That's insane. It's definitely not through lack of diving..oops i mean trying. :sarcasm:

I remember last season we didn't get one at the Emirates and i thought that was crazy. Be unbelievable for you guys to go through the whole season without a pen.

 

[Twizzle]

another game and another goal for Bale, up to third spot

woot

on the down side Lloris is out indefinitely with a knee
