Match Thread: Spurs vs Real Sociedad

[Neil_Vaughan]

Talk about the game in here before, during and after.

[shoot_ffs]

hoping our bud over at freelivefooty can help us with this one. although you don't get a great view from the camera high up on the stands. hope zokora proves to be as good with his feet as he is his mouth. both he and jenas were far too deep last week although the opposition were good. expect us to do better at home, hope we don't have davids on the left tho. we really should have sorted that position by now.

[Chinaman]

But he's on the left by the look of the names in the line-up.

[Chinaman]

Anybody knows anything about the action yet? The snail text at the official site has still to come up with anything other than our starting line-up.

[DonJolSpurano]

anyway heres the starting line up:

Robinson, Lee, Assou-Ekotto, Zokora, Dawson, Davenport, Lennon, Jenas, Berbatov, Defoe, Davids.

Subs: Cerny, Murphy, Stalteri, Gardner, Ghaly, Huddlestone, Ziegler, Barnard.

just wonder whether its 4-4-2 or 4-3-3...

[Chinaman]

Guess it's 442.

[Chinaman]

According to the Official sit, nothing much in the first 11 min.

[Chinaman]

Match looks to be a bore as the second piece of action reported on the Official site is at 22 min about a poor goal kick by Real which came to Defoe wia Barbie, but it came to nothing.

[Chinaman]

Defoe scored from 20 yards in 27min. Spurs 1 Real 0.

[SharX]

great! thanks :)

[Chinaman]

34 min. Zokora corner, Barbie forced a loose ball and Jenas hit the crossbar from 6 yards. Looks we're slowly controlling the proceedings.

[Chinaman]

Shit. They just scored from 30 yards. 1-1.

[shoot_ffs]

poor old robbo seems to struggle with longshots. hope he's gonna regain his confidence after the world cup.

[Welsh Spur]

is anyone watching this anywhere ?

[SharX]

is anyone watching this anywhere ?
not me :( :( :(

[Chinaman]

Nor me; just relying on the snail text. Just been onto Spurscommunity. Someone there is watching the game on ESPN in South Africa. May get faster report there.

[Chinaman]

Dawson scored. 2-1 to us.

[highlander]

excellent, im glad daws got his first spurs goal, what a great player

[Chinaman]

So full time now and we're still unbeaten. Bodes well for the new season.

[SSS]

Well done to the lads. Bring on Fat Sam :D

what a cracker by defoe..back to his scoring best this pre-season and hoping he starts with keano being injured and possibly not as fit as defoe.

[SharX]

good result, although from what i read the game was boring especially the first half. i hope thats a wrong impression :(

by the way, i really dig the Real Sociedad kit :D

waiting for reports on how are midfield did today. they were very deep last week, and with davids probably drifting into the middle i wonder how zokora and jenas played in our strangely balanced midfield.

[hastingsyid]

only problem im seeing at the game today is no width on the left.....this is why petrov is a must

*********Berbatov******Defoe**********


^^^ This was MJ's formation for the team today, Damn this was good stuff,
What I did find abit crazy is that darn f**kig ref what a w*nker, berbatov could have got a goal, pffft clearly the other guy deserved a RED card for the foul and get's nothing, pffft also no one here seems to know the score was 3 - 1, but the ref Dis-allowed our second goal, pffft. later on in the game MJ does a very strange decision and takes off J.Defoe and replace's him with D.Murphy hmmmm strange, perhaps support for Berbatov, I think the players of the day for that game was the following, Defoe for that glorious goal, then lennon he caused them alot of problems damn he is so fast and good with the ball, Ekoto blimey electrifying is the word for him and zokora, these two guys here, just imagine what they are doing now, imagine in the Premiership they going to cause alot of trouble, heh Carrick gone ! Ekoto clearly makes carrick look a n00b.

What i found so funny, is the 15 fans of the away team lol 15 :D they came out of the south stand hehe.

screenshot from where i was sitting, got a bit of video footage too but pfffft, you guys will need that nokia suit crap.

Well my review was we smashed it, also note Real S, used all of there subs and still failed at bitting us, P.S i was getting a beer at the stand so missed there goal, heard it was a good goal though :( but defoes goal was quality, Also Damn NO SMOKING in the whole stand bahh had to have a smoke by the stairs lol stewards all over the place, they was even looking for smokers in the toilets.

[nuttyhotspurs]

did anyone else notice that on dawsons goal Assou-Ekotto took the corner with his right foot. please dont tell me we have another right footed left backk!!! can anyone confirm that hes a lefty but also has a great right foot

[Chinaman]

But in all the reports I read, it was Zoko who took the corner.

[SharX]

But in all the reports I read, it was Zoko who took the corner.
yes, I think it was Zokora.
