Match Thread: Wolverhampton Wanderers FC V TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

[deadleyledley]

Roman is back for this tie, but ledley is out. and news on lennon is that he should be back for the game against everton, on 28th

[TURKISH]

Talk bout the game here, during and after. Kick off at 19:45

[olly27]

Given the incredibly difficult month of April, and the points we have literally thrown away in the last two games (and more)...its a must win.

Put it like this we have Wolves and Wigan away in our next two games...Pool have Arsenal and City away. If they are still above us after the next two fixtures we can just about forget any ambitions of a top 4 finish.

We need two wins really, its now or never.

[olly27]

I am going for 0-2 win. Defoe brace.

[TURKISH]

So many easy points thrown away in a period where we have faced struggling teams. We just don't look like scoring and if we don't score in the first half then we normally fail to score.

I think Crouch has been a big problem this season, so many times we have been lazy and have forced the long ball. We are a long ball side, you can't hide from that fact. On the floor Crouch slows us down and just doesn't offer us nothing goal threat wise outside the box other than a flick on.

We need a Kanoute type striker who will linkup well with defoe and SCORE goals. Is Crouch a natural Goal scorer?

Harry needs to grow some bollocks, if we are struggling to score then get some fresh legs on. Niko is more of a goal threat than Mod, so get him on. Why not throw Eidur on?

Also we need to stop coming out with stupid predictions, Harry saying we can make top three. I remember last time we talked aload of bollocks and we got thumped three nil against the scum.

The team needs to chip in with the goals because we can't keep relying on JD to win us games. Crouch needs to get his finger out his arse and actually look like he wants to score a goal. The midfield need to chip in also and get forward, stop hoofing and hoping you will win a crouch flick on.

Last chance for Crouch, if he fails to impress then Pav should start next three games.

Gomes
Charlie
Bassong
Dawson----------C
Bale
Palacios
Hudd
Bentley
Modric
Crouch
Defoe

[olly27]

Would love to see Pav start, cant wait to see him and JD linking up again.

Crouchy will start and I agree, he needs to start making more of an impression, he needs to start bloody scoring.

Would also like to Niko start tomorrow night, bringing on Luka only if needs be. When you have been out a long time it can take quite a while until your top form returns, Luka still aint there yet...but is firmly on the road to doing so.

Flip I would be starting Pav and Niko tomorrow night.

Crouch, will start...lets hope he has a better night.

When it comes to shooting Niko>>>>>>Mod

Mod has such a weak shot and for someone of such quality he doesn't score many or look like scoring.

[berbzy 'G']

The Wolves goal keeper to have the game of his life like all the other goalkeepers do against us and us to have plenty of chances but not take them. Same old shit.

[olly27]

City now 2 nil up against Bolton....tomorrow night is a must win as far as the top 4 push is concerned.

Personally I think Wigan away is a must win as well.

[deadleyledley]

going to this one.
its going to be freezing and hopefully we can win this game. im hoping the team will turn up with a hunger of success and will run their sockes off which is unlikely with shit weather in the black country.

gomes
charlie daws bassong bale
bents hudd wp modric
defoe crouch.

im hoping that pav might come on from the bench and make the same impact that he made against leeds.

2-1 defoe, hudd

[mjbmedia]

for the first time in my life i want Man U AND Arsenal to win on the same night!!

has it really come to this:stupid:

yet we are only turning three of the last draws into wins to be level with Arsenal
We have to win, we're 6th!!! at kick off 6th!!!!!

[Gino Ginelli]

What is going to concern me almost as much as the points here is the manner in which we do it. We are not a long ball team, or so Harry would testify to, so this is a game where we should prove it, by playing our technical players and keeping it on the deck. Bentley does like an early ball however, but in recent games Defoe has stopped making his runs into the space between the keeper and the CB's, so they often go to waste. It would be nice to see 3 points, even nicer to see 3 points won with some good football instead of route one.

[lifelongyid]

Got to be a win, thrown too many points away.

Start with Roman tonight, I think he can link up play better than Crouchie.

Score 3-0 to spurs...Defoe a couple

[Ioang]

Anyone else think Away games might be easier form hereonin? We keep getting frustrated by anti-football at home, while teams come at us away and in a straight football game we're a match for anyone.

[apr82]

a bigger pitch might help.

[SurreySpur]

I have this horrible feeling we will buckle and come away with nothing. I really hope im wrong but i can see tonight being one to forget.

[earl warwick]

Gomes, Kaboul, Bassong, Dawson, Bale; Bentley, Hudd, Jenas, Kranjcar; Gudjohnsen, Defoe.
subs: Alnwick, Corluka, K Walker, Modric, Palacios, Crouch, Pav

If you foresaw much of this, you're probably a shoe-in for the Lottery this week.

[denis-cro]

Harry has prefered Kaboul in place of Corluka for tonights game...here we go again... PLAYERS NOT PLAYING AT THEIR NOMINAL POSITION !!! Ridiculous....

[SurreySpur]

Not sure what to make of that side. Corluka has been very suspect recently so i can see why he's replaced him and im pleased to see Eidur get a start but im not sure about that midfield at all, JJ has looked off the pace whenever he's come off the bench.

And Mark Clattenberg is in charge so now im convinced this is going to a night to forget.

[olly27]

TEAM NEWS - Harry Redknapp makes five changes from the goalless draw against Villa including debuts for both Younes Kaboul and Eidur Gudjohnsen. Vedran Corluka and Peter Crouch go to the bench. Sebastien Bassong, Jermaine Jenas and Niko Kranjcar also return for Ledley King, Wilson Palacios and Luka Modric. STARTING XI - Gomes; Kaboul, Bassong, Dawson, Bale; Bentley, Huddlestone, Jenas, Kranjcar; Gudjohnsen, Defoe. SUBS - Alnwick, Corluka, K Walker, Modric, Palacios, Crouch, Pavlyuchenko.

Jesus....wanted a change upfront and we get all those!!!

Glad Niko is starting though...why not Wilson though?

Maybe Harry is really go for the FA Cup...

[Ioang]

Maybe Harry is really go for the FA Cup...

I think you've hit the nail on the head. He's said we could finish third as a bit of misdirection but really he's given up - we've had too many chances to pull away but blown it every time.

Whereas really it's only Chelsea to beat in the cup.

Hope I'm wrong. I think top four and FA cup are both possible.

[apr82]

jesus wept,here we go!!

Giving him a rest before Bolton, and probably figures we'll have so much of the ball that he won't be essential.

Thats what I was thinking, although the changes should give us a fresh impetus. I think Wilson has played more minutes than anyone else this season.

Jenas and Kranjcar both played against Leeds last week, and we played well.

We can also bring Modric and Pav later on if we need a goal, conversely we can bring Wilson on if we are ahead and need to shore things up.

[olly27]

That's if Harry realises what a sub is this game.

Any streams for this?

[irishspur]

Wheres everyone watching this? my usual streams are letting me down big time.

[denis-cro]

Bentley is a ****ing idiot !!!!

Here's my stream. Choppy, not very good, but it's at least the match with English commentary.

[MarlowSpurs]

Probably, I hope Jenas is half decent though...

LMFAO........we've been hoping for a long time

[olly27]

Villa one nil up...not good...

[olly27]

LMFAO........we've been hoping for a long time

lol...your telling me mate!

[MarlowSpurs]

Its going to be one of those nights

[TURKISH]

Thats how you play football, great one touch stuff but niko should have scored.:stupid:

If crouch would have started we would have hump it up to him.

Great block from dawson and JJ great interception to deny a free goal for the wolves man.

[denis-cro]

Bassong is absolutely useless this first 15 minutes.... every time he touches the ball it becomes very dangerous for our defence....:stupid:

[MarlowSpurs]

Villa's lead didn't last long.....lol

[olly27]

United have equalised through a Collins own goal...phew...

[MarlowSpurs]

Where you watching the game Turks old boy??????

[denis-cro]

Absolute disgrace nothing else... absolute disgrace ... HARRY MUST BE SACKED IMMEDIATELLY !!!!!!!!!!!!

[TURKISH]

Triffic, Jenas you ****.

[GQCoolest]

Horrible goal to concede. Dawson with his studs stuck in the ground, as he didn't move an inch. Gotta think we'll get nothing from this now, considering how it was after they went 1-0 up at WHL.

[MarlowSpurs]

ere we go again!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:: thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbd own::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::t humbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdo wn:

I am getting really ****ing sick of this...

[MarlowSpurs]

and now Nani has been sent off for utd

[StevenYTID]

Sopcast YES is on now.

[olly27]

Just get Wilson on now...and get the ****ing prick Jenas off the pitch, Harry you are blowing this...

Stupid team selection..we need to win this, Pav and Modric on at half time Harry.

[MarlowSpurs]

Sopcast YES is on now.

F*cking useless c*nts!

Fvck me is Jarvis Lionel Messi or something?:thumbdown: Get JJ off now and KEEP PASSING THE BALL ON THE DECK.

[MarlowSpurs]

Can't we give arry back to pompy and get our money back?? Thats what you normally do when something doesn't work

[GQCoolest]

Just get Wilson on now...and get the ****ing prick Jenas off the pitch, Harry you are blowing this...

Stupid team selection..we need to win this, Pav and Modric on at half time Harry.

Triple substitution at the half:

Jenas, Krancjar, Gudjohnsen off

Pav, Modric, Palacios on.

Never happen, Crouch before Pav is likely.

Niko has been woeful tonight.

[StevenYTID]

Knew this line up would be a crock of utter shit

[olly27]

If Harry doesn't make the changes at half time he' clueless....Modric, Pav and Wilson on.

If we dont win this, I seriously give up. We need to start showing some *****g backbone.


GET JENAS OFF, FOR FLIP SAKE TWITCHY

[GQCoolest]

Jenas has been an absolute pile of shit tonight. Off at halftime please.

[TURKISH]

Get silly bollocks off now, my god he is useless.

[denis-cro]

First half time performance only sums up Harrys quality as a manager.... NOTHING ELSE THAN A ****ING DISGRACE !!!!!!!!!!!!

[olly27]

Like I said why would you not start Wilson? why?...its an away game against a side who are scrapping for everything....makes no sense whatsoever and that team selection is going to cost us.

[GQCoolest]

Jenas is embarassing himself out there now. Get him off NOW.

[TURKISH]

My god where is JJ?

Lets get Vernon Kay on at half time, he seems like the only one who is scoring at the moment.

[olly27]

He had better make changes at half time after that. But Wolves will do everything to hang on now, I would say winning is a 10/1 shot at least now.


Thanks arry

[Apples]

My god where is JJ?

Lets get Vernon Kay on at half time, he seems like the only one who is scoring at the moment.

speak for yourself ; )

[mjbmedia]

Pav and Modric and Wilson on for JJ, Niko and Gudjo at half time. sod any potential injuries we need 3 points , else Harry can **** off

[MarlowSpurs]

And arry thinks we can still get 4th, stupid deluded fvcker:thumbdown:

[mjbmedia]

well Villa and scouse scum are only drawing so we'd go above them red ******s with a win and pull away from game in hand villa
But , Wolves ffs Wolves, Stoke, Hull, effing joke

[MarlowSpurs]

even wet spam are winning

[apr82]

redknapp is an absolute tit.

[olly27]

Losing Lennon has ultimately cost us....

I am raging, WTFwas Harry thinking making that many changes...and everytime I get time to watch the flipping highligts we lose!

I wanted Niko in, but he's been poor and Jenas, I dont want to see him in a Spurs shirt again after that.

If Harry doesn't make any changes at half time, he's lost the plot.

[GQCoolest]

Well, at least the Pikeys have scored one to keep ****ing Brum ooff our heels.

[TURKISH]

And arry thinks we can still get 4th, stupid deluded fvcker:thumbdown:

No he doesn't.............HE THINK WE CAN FINISH THIRD!

[berbzy 'G']

This is f*cking pathetic.

[olly27]

well Villa and scouse scum are only drawing so we'd go above them red ******s with a win and pull away from game in hand villa
But , Wolves ffs Wolves, Stoke, Hull, effing joke

Totally agree...this is just getting ridicluous now, seriously getting fed up with it now.

If Harry wants to sort this out he had better make the changes, and we had better win this. Its time to stop making excuses and to go and do it.

We have miles more quality, show it FFS.

[Gold7]

WTF!! is going on with us . I've only been watching for the last 15 mins but i aint seen eider touch the ball , we're still hitting long balls as reflex reaction.

Just try and keep the ball for long periods and chances will come instead we're always looking for killer balls every 3rd touch.

We haven't played good football since Jol. That is the gods honest truth flashes of briliance maybe but not consistent good football.

[olly27]

Every time Harry or players big up our chances its egg on face, thats why other fans take the piss out of us so much. Is it any fcking wonder.

[denis-cro]

After Stoke defeat at home I was 100 % secure that we aint finishing above 6th place, and after watching tonights first half time, and reading todays newspapers where Harry states that Arseanal is wounded, 3 defeats in row, 3rd place spot still open for Spurs...etc.... Im 1000 % secure that Spurs Premiership position at the end of the season will be bellow 8th place.
IT IS INEVITABLE THAT IN ORDER TO PROGRESS HARRY REDKNAPP, KEVIN BOND and JOE JORDAN along with all others Pompey and Newcastle rejects MUST BE SAKED or KICK-ASSED from this club !!! This is a MUST !!!!

Mr. Levy OPEN YOUR ****ING EYES and start to find a PROPER ****ING MANAGER FOR ONCE FFS !!!!

[GQCoolest]

Wilson on for Jenas, thank ****

[mjbmedia]

Kaboul aint a right back, he hasnt stopped a single cross going in and was at fault for the goal , i like him, but not as a right back

[choda]

We are still playing atrocious shit even without Crouch, seems they are just so used to long ball now.

We need to totally recoach these players again and get back to what we were doing from Jan to Oct. We are making another class act footballer in Gudjohnson look poor.

Maybe he is finished though, I don't know. What I do know is that the system we had when Keane was first choice worked for 6 months, even when he wasn't on top form and he was still scoring.

[Apples]

Do you have a high tolerance for pain or something?


lol i hoping to bring some luck

[GQCoolest]

Kaboul aint a right back, he hasnt stopped a single cross going in and was at fault for the goal , i like him, but not as a right back

I thought Jenas was more at fault for not following Jones' run whatsoever. Just stood and watched while his man ran past him and finished on the volley.

[mjbmedia]

come on guys we're gonna win this 3 -1

[berbzy 'G']

Do you have a high tolerance for pain or something?

I agree GQ, but the cross shouldnt have been allowed to come in so easy as it did either

[berbzy 'G']

come on guys we're gonna win this 3 -1

I like the courage and optimism, but i'm afraid we ain't :dong:

[GQCoolest]

Shocking set piece delivery for the most part as well tonight.

[mjbmedia]

Are there any Spurs fans there only not heard a word from them on the stream Im on

[denis-cro]

Absolutely no threat from set pieces... Both Bales and Bentleys delivery is useless....

[olly27]

Would love to see Pav and Modric on......come on Harry

[berbzy 'G']

Even a draw would be f*cking useless. I just give up

[olly27]

Harry its time to make the changes....bring EG off, and put Pav on...

[GQCoolest]

Kaboul looks slightly off the pace. Just not in sync with what the rest of the side is doing.

[GQCoolest]

I'd be shocked if Pav is the first striker on rather than Crouch.

[berbzy 'G']

Bring Crouch on ffs

[olly27]

Ok Harry is starting to piss me off...WTF is he waiting for, make the changes...we need to win this, another draw is no fcking good.

[mjbmedia]

who's this muppet coming on ffs, this team are full of retards from outer ****ing mongolia and other footballing outposts, and they still do the double over us and our super squad! ******s

[denis-cro]

We look pathetic...absolutely useless...

[GQCoolest]

I'd like to see Krancjar come off for Crouch rather than Gudjohnsen.

Now Dawson down, likely to go with Corluka at RB and Kaboul to CB, which could hopefully improve us.

[MarlowSpurs]

Bring Crouch on ffs

fook we are desperate

[mjbmedia]

jeez, we've even got the ref on our side this game and we still aint winning, yet!

[Milney yid]

Top 4 over without a shadow of a doubt if we lose this game, which is looking very likely. Useless Spurs

[GQCoolest]

Modric on for Dawson, move Hudd to CB. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[olly27]

Sick of this, I really am. Harry lost this tonight and I dont give a feck what he says.

Doubt we will even get a draw now. We dont deserve a top 4 finish, far too many points down the sink.

Anyway, that little run has put us in our place.

[StevenYTID]

Harry's lost the ****ing plot guys.

[MarlowSpurs]

Avram Grant may need a job next week, we seem to like ex pompy people so lets give him a shot:stupid::stupid::stupid:

[mjbmedia]

yep Harrys let the negative 'long ball' comments sway his selection tonight.
Hes finally made the three subs we said he should have done at half time , why hes taken 26 minutes to do the bleeding obvious is the same reason he should be sacked

[mjbmedia]

London scum are 1 up so a draw would put us back into 4th , but that still aint good enough long term IMO

[berbzy 'G']

London scum are 1 up so a draw would put us back into 4th , but that still aint good enough long term IMO

We are proper f*cked for the top 4 now.

[olly27]

We are proper f*cked for the top 4 now.

It has gone now...at least the pain will stop now, as you stop expecting, or hoping should I say.

Supporting this Club really should come with a flipping health warning.

[MarlowSpurs]

London scum are 1 up so a draw would put us back into 4th , but that still aint good enough long term IMO

Trouble is we shouldn't be looking at a draw against teams like wolves if we want that cl place. We should be destroying teams like this, but no instead we have to put up with stupid decisions, team selection and tactics by a bloke who is better off doing stupid fvcking nintendo adverts and writing articles in the wanking sun. I wish he would just fvck off

[GQCoolest]

Bentley's been good, but greedy tonight. Too many shots from distance, too many tricks that aren't coming off.

[OffsideRuelFox]

Can't believe we are going to give up 6 points against Wolves plus not even score a goal against them.

We do not deserve 4th place if they do the double over us.

[berbzy 'G']

It has gone now...at least the pain will stop now, as you stop expecting, or hoping should I say.

Supporting this Club really should come with a flipping health warning.

Thanks for that olly. In a strange way, you have kind of let me down gently about us finishing in the top 4.

[olly27]

Harry is comletely responsibile for this mess tonight. Taking time out to speak to the press bigging up our top 3 chances is a joke, instead get your team selection right you muppet.

He really is testing my patience now, always got on an opinion on everything.

[GQCoolest]

How does Bentley not stay onside there? He had all day to get back on.

[MarlowSpurs]

Everything is going Man City's way tonight

[lifelongyid]

Just got back in from the snow - just looked at the live text on the BBC website, and I saw this

Spurs have not had a single shot on target in the second half. They are still 1-0 down at Wolves and that's a fairly damning indictment of their top four hopes.

What a load of rubbish - top 4 you must be joking

[denis-cro]

How does Bentley not stay onside there? He had all day to get back on.

Because he is lazy bastard !!!

HARRY YOU ****ING USELESS **** !!!! DO US ALL A FAVOUR AND RESIGN YOU BASTARD !!!!!!!!!!!

[TURKISH]

I think the sky has had more possession that both teams tonight, that with Crouchys nose.

[olly27]

Thanks for that olly. In a strange way, you have kind of let me down gently about us finishing in the top 4.

Got 12 beers in thinking it was going to be a good night...already put 8 away as this is doing my nuts in!

[GQCoolest]

Why aren't we ****ing flooding the area? This is pathetic.

[StevenYTID]

Why the **** does 'arry care more bout a *****g cup does he not know we can still get Chelsea in it.

[GQCoolest]

Kevin ****ing old man Phillips can score 2 in 20 minutes against this bag of shit, but nobody on our squad can score once in 180. So frustrating.

[mjbmedia]

oooo now Harry gets his fat arse off the seat ****

[GQCoolest]

Every Wolves player sprinting towards the ball, while every player in a white shirt watches. Pathetic.

[mjbmedia]

thanks Harry for wasting my evening you ****, now **** off and ruin another club, 4 down how many more you gonna **** up

[berbzy 'G']

Shocking, I'm in utter f*cking despair and feel like giving up. What a bunch of useless c*nts we are, absolute f*cking waste of space.

[olly27]

Joke...Harry is really ****ing me off.

[TURKISH]

We are a bunch of one dimensional ****s. Harry has slowly turned us into a long ball team and we have totally gone against the system that has served us so well.

I said the moment we signed Crouch that he will be a bad buy, reason being he will always be a reason to go long. If we had Keane and Defoe upfront we would have to play football.

JJ and Palacios are in dire form. Both can't pass or score. Hudd can't score. Mod can't shoot. Niko can't score. Crouch is useless. Pav is never given a chance. Defoe is not superman. Lennon is injured. Bentley is trying. Bale is the only one who looks a threat.

We are shocking.

[SurreySpur]

I predicted a defeat as i thought Wolves would want it more. Thats Tottenham Hotspur in a nutshell.....we just dont want it enough, we dont have the bottle to be a top side.

We were in the driving seat for fourth, possibly even third but we have managed to throw it all away. A shite Liverpool side and an uninspiring city side must be laughing their heads off at us....we're a complete joke.

[olly27]

What was that team selection all about??? Why oh why, he doesn't have a clue...I could of managed Tottenham better from my sofa with 8 beers in me tonight, and the scary thing is...i dont think i am joking...

just give me a Phil Brown ear piece and I'll do it for free....

[Milney yid]

I've said it once I'll say it again, one man team. Without Lennon we have absolutely no threat going forward, apart from the old hoof and hope which comes off about 1 in 20 times. Top 4s over, by the end of this weekend FA Cup may be too, Bolton are a very similar team to Wolves. ****ing pathetic, the sad thing is there are absolutely no positives whatsoever to draw from tonight, not even that consolation

[SurreySpur]

Got to say well done to Bale again, he makes mistakes and his positioning isnt the greatest but he gives his all for 90mins, the rest should take a leaf out of his book and put some energy into their game.

[apr82]

said it before redknapp tactically inept results going for him are more a case of fortune rather than knowledge.not realising the shiteness of players like jenas ,bentley and lazy signings from your former club are now coming back to haunt him.another season of mediocrity!!!!!!thank christ the team have reached over forty points of relative safety.

[denis-cro]

Well done harry weel done !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trrific team lineup, triffic half time team talk.... Absolutely class... **** off you disgracefull ****... **** off back to bournemouth, pompey or southampton... Youre not nowhere near the quality for this club, or whatever above relegation zone.... Youre a disgrace for a manager job... You have 62 years and you know **** all about managing the club, and your results during your career says all about you.... youre a ****ing disgrace !!!!!!!!!!

[peterc]

Enough is enough, Arry Redknob, you got us out of the mess, however, you are not capable of taking us any further........

[SurreySpur]

Wolves wont do the double over anyone else this season, that is seriously depressing. No wonder the rest of the premier league think were a joke.

[nuttyhotspurs]

JJ and Palacios are in dire form. Both can't pass or score. Hudd can't score. Mod can't shoot. Niko can't score. Crouch is useless. Pav is never given a chance. Defoe is not superman. Lennon is injured. Bentley is trying. Bale is the only one who looks a threat.

We are shocking.

excellent summary. agree with all of that. too many changes tonight, we just played exactly like a mish mash group of players. no idea who to pass to or where to run. just woeful. ppl really need to stop talking about CL please, even if it comes to the last game of the season we will still FAIL

as someone has already said. in a season where u lose twice to wolves who i personally think are the worse team/squad in the league you don't deserve 4th.:thumbdown:

and oh look everton ahead of chelsea , they will prob finish above us

[highlander]

what a ****in load of shit. no imagination, no invention, no real desire. we need to get pav in the side or get eidur fit quickly, cant keep on with this crouch shite

[GQCoolest]

How does Bentley not stay onside there? He had all day to get back on.

Got to say well done to Bale again, he makes mistakes and his positioning isnt the greatest but he gives his all for 90mins, the rest should take a leaf out of his book and put some energy into their game.

Completely agree. Bale was class. The rest? Not so much.

This team is completely worthless without Lennon, and that is a fact.

Well done harry weel done !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trrific team lineup, triffic half time team talk.... Absolutely class... **** off you disgracefull ****... **** off back to bournemouth, pompey or southampton... Youre not nowhere near the quality for this club, or whatever above relegation zone.... Youre a disgrace for a manager job... You have 62 years and you know **** all about managing the club, and your results during your career says all about you.... youre a ****ing disgrace !!!!!!!!!!

Denis for once in your life shut the fuc up..am not in the mood.

[nuttyhotspurs]

This team is completely worthless without Lennon, and that is a fact.

we will have to get used to it when he jumps ship to a decent side after the world cup:ciao:

[GQCoolest]

Wolves wont do the double over anyone else this season, that is seriously depressing.

Wolves might not snatch 4 points off of any other side all year, let alone 6.

[GQCoolest]

we will have to get used to it when he jumps ship to a decent side after the world cup

At least Arry can use the money to buy Kevin Prince Boateng and Michael Brown.

[denis-cro]

..am not in the mood.

Because you dont face the truth... as long as we have A ****ING IDIOT AS A MANAGER... you will never be in the mood....

[peterc]

Denis for once in your life shut the fuc up..am not in the mood.

Olly, Denis does tend to take the negative side of matters, however results do speak.

[MarlowSpurs]

Arry's 16/1 to be the next manager to be sacked, might put a few quid on this

[GQCoolest]

Denis types with the fury of a million men. May not always be the optimist of the group. I pitcure his keyboard to look like this:

So your telling me that Dawson, BAE, Gomes, Huddlestone etc havn't all improved greatly under Harry?!

He pissed me off tonight alright, but to call him an idiot is completely fecking ignorant...it really is the case of the unqualified preaching to the qaulified...and that my son is a fact.

[nuttyhotspurs]

Arry's 16/1 to be the next manager to be sacked, might put a few quid on this
lol he aint gona get sacked this season. i honestly don't know where we go from here though. so frustratingly inconsistent its untrue and 'arrys tactics leave a lot to be desired *BIG FVCKING SIGH*

[choda]

We are a bunch of one dimensional ****s. Harry has slowly turned us into a long ball team and we have totally gone against the system that has served us so well.

I said the moment we signed Crouch that he will be a bad buy, reason being he will always be a reason to go long. If we had Keane and Defoe upfront we would have to play football.

JJ and Palacios are in dire form. Both can't pass or score. Hudd can't score. Mod can't shoot. Niko can't score. Crouch is useless. Pav is never given a chance. Defoe is not superman. Lennon is injured. Bentley is trying. Bale is the only one who looks a threat.

We are shocking.

I found that staggering that he could totally change from a class side from Jan to Oct that was good to watch, performing and getting better and better and try to change us into Portsmouth. WHY?

And the squad is even better this year and players like Huddlestone have come on leaps and bounds. It's so disappointing because he really had a great chance to do something with this setup and great foundations he had put in place.

[MarlowSpurs]

lol he aint gona get sacked this season. i honestly don't know where we go from here though. so frustratingly inconsistent its untrue and 'arrys tactics leave a lot to be desired

at the moment down:dong::dong:

[GQCoolest]

The truth is that Harry has relied on Azza to get us out of jail time and time again, his pace and trickery is unmatched in the EPL, he is one of the most dangerous player in the league, and we are completely exposed with him out. Bentley hit a small vein of form, but he's nowhere near Lennon. The stats bear this out:

Without Lennon: 9 points in 8 PL matches, 5 goals scored

With Lennon: 34 points in 18 PL matches, 40 goals scored.

We can argue til we're blue in the face about tactics, but when the main tactic is "get the ball to Azza and let him run at the opposing fullback", we are significantly more dangerous, and significantly more likely to get wins and points.

[olly27]

Lennon's injury has cost us, no matter what way you look at it.

[nuttyhotspurs]

so who are we going to rely on next season after we have sold him to chelski? i would say utd but can they afford him?

[GQCoolest]

so who are we going to rely on next season after we have sold him to chelski?

Peter Crouch. And we'll be back down to midtable.

Seriously, if Levy sells him...:fight:. I understand he'll want Champions League football, but I'm making the mob boss pay the British transfer record for him.

[peterc]

Lennon's injury has cost us, no matter what way you look at it.

So basically we are a one man team, brilliant. Strong in depth squad Arry.:thumbdown:

[mjbmedia]

we're just a feeder club for top 4.
Campbell, Carrick, Berbatov, Keane.
Lennon will be off soon

Mid table mediocrity for all ENICs money , and what a waste of money it is.
Will we bother with Europa or look to drop down to the safety of non qualification 8th?

(Man U win Carling , Chelsea win FA, so opening up two more league places )

[TURKISH]

Lennon's injury has cost us, no matter what way you look at it.

Yes and no. I think Harry is telling the players to look for Crouch early, which makes us neglect our passing game.

Look at our team we have the most attacking left back in the country at the moment, we have niko, mod, bentley, hudd, defoe and crouch but yet we can't score a goal.

We have had to dealt with Lennon being out before, but Harry has a history of starting the season well but then being found out.

Where has Palacios gone?

Who will help Defoe out and score a goal?

The wolves team was poor, none would even get on our bench but yet we struggle against them big time.

Pav needs to start five games on the bounce, we need to drill dawson/hudd/bassong/charlie to stop taking the lazy route in looking for crouch.

[olly27]

I have had a few beers tonight. fuk all this negative bollox. I love THFC, no matter what....yeah its dissappointing, but Harry is quite possibly a victim of his own success, one point (pint) of view perhaps!...he raised the expectations, and now this!

Its incredibly frustrating, I dunno anymore.

Its pedantic, all of it. The real problem is a lack of real leadership, somebody to galvanise the side when the chips are down. Someone who has a set of balls, and the rest of the side follow. A winner in our ranks, somebody who wants to win at all costs.

We dont have that, we dont have a togetherness...a solidarity, call it what ever you like. Its disjointed, a bunch of very talented individuals - yes.

Make no mistake, we have easily the third best sqaud in the Prem. Better than Pools and possibly better than Arsenal's...it aint played on paper though.

Its so frustrating, Wolves!!!! doing the double on us - its actually sick. the amount or points we have literally flushed down the toiltet.

But its over,at least we dont have to think about the top 4 anymore. Chance has gone, City will have it next year,.

[MarlowSpurs]

6 points from a possible 18 so far this year. God I'm making myself depressed

[Shelfside]

Harry "we really should be above Arsenal" Redknapp is being exposed as the championship level manager that he really is.It's one thing to take a club with no expectations to the top half of the table but it's quite another to take a club with expectations into the top four.
Our performances against the Sky four this season have been beyond pathetic.We have now lost a double against relegation fodder Wolves.I wouldn't even hold out much hope against Bolton on Sunday.Tactically Harry is looking out of his depth.
What we need is a new Edgar Davids.We need a player who is a winner and will not tolerate slack standards from his team mates.We need someone to drive the rest of the team on to the next level.Most of our squad is in a comfort zone and lack professional ambition.
We can quit dreaming of a top four place and I would hope that the manager and the players make it a priority to try and win the Fa Cup but I somehow think that they probably aren't that arsed about it.

[Gino Ginelli]

Am I allowed to say that I saw this coming a mile away?

I think everyone had the feeling when we appointed him that he'd get the organisation, man-management and work rate sorted and that does take you a long way, especially with this many good players. But the question has always been, how good are you Harry?

Now he has hit a big skid in the road in the last few months and made some big errors. We will see if he can get by it and prove people wrong in the next 12 months.

I hope he can.

You are right about leaders and winners. The closest we had was Keane and it did make a large difference to us and also technically and tactically, even not on top form. And he was dropped and gotten rid of.

Leaders will have to be purchased in the summer or molded over the next few months and bring back Keane until you can sign someone geniunely better and in their prime, someone like Tevez, Lissandro people like that.

[Gold7]

what i don't get about the whole Keane situation is . firstly you bring him back to spurs ,ok may be some may say to help us fight relegation , we knew he would fight right back in . you describe him as a " great little player"
"he's clever " . So in short harry hypes up keane tells us how good he is like we don't already know but then gives him to celtic and says "well robbie wanted regular starts and i couldn't guarantee him that".

Well guess what Harry. so what if he wanted starts doesn't every player? you should have sat him down and said listen son as soon as one of the other two hit a bad run your in .

Harry should have known that defoe will hit a brick wall sooner or later and he should have known that this crouch and defoe partnership has its limitations. this is where harry has been inexplicably naive and stubborn.
As it stands our two regular strikers have no pressure on them for a starting place , how can that be a good thing?.

Our early season form can be attributed to a brilliant little winger not Harry's great management. I wouldn't complain about Harry if he hadn't made our team into a : predictable ( in terms of how they play and who will start up front ) , typical british team rigid 4 4 2 "big man little man team" to the degree that some of the highly talented players we have have forgotten how to penetrate a team with passing.

[Gino Ginelli]

I think Harry let Robbie go because Robbie himself wasn't comfortable here anymore. If the player isn't up for it then it's best to let him move on.

TOP POST SIR, and said much better than my swaering and rantings ever could, mind you youve calmed down since the match now.

Totally agree 2000% , but remember thats come from all those years of experience that Harry has, all that huge success hes enjoyed , what was it 4th or 5th with W Ham and that was solely down to their academy producing Lamps,Cole,Rio ,Carrick for the first team I would imagine (to be honest I cant remember but id be surprised if they werent involved in W Hams best season for eons)

Only Lampard played in the first team that season. The others didn't come through until after Harry left.

[deadleyledley]

JENAS YOU KNOB!!!!

THEY WERE THE CRIES FROM OUR END. HE WAS PATHETIC AND POSSIBLY NEEDS TO GO TO A PSYCHIATRIST.

HARRY MESSED UP IN THE TEAM SELECTION. WHY KABOUL AT RIGHT BACK, HE IS THE BIGGEST PILE OF SHIT WE HAVE IN THE DEFENCE. CORLUKA IS THE MAN WE NEED TO PLAY THERE FOR AS MANY GAMES OF THE SEASON.

IM NOT GOING TO AN AWAY GAME AGAIN IF THEY CARRY ON PLAYING THE UTTER TRIPE I SAW YESTERDAY. GOT BACK AT 2AM.

You know your shit pal.

Though I think you are being slightly harsh on Harry. He has done many things right. Don't forget he is the one that has transformed Lennon too. And he had good ingredients in the side in the right places, well organised, working hard and had us passing the ball well. Not barca style yet but it was good and improving.

He has lost the plot only the last few months, up front and with the style of play. That's gone way backwards. Also he got rid of a leader, one that fitted an ingredient we need and quality player in Keane (even not in top form) and one of the heartbeats of the club in JoH. All of these are big mistakes.

Choda its funny how your return coincides perfectly with our first defeat!!:santaclaus: Anything to support the notion that loaning out Keane was a huge mistake. The way he was playing lately it wouldn't of made a blind bit of difference.

The real problem is no Lennon. In the league we have only won 1 in our last 6 games. Thats since Lennon has been out, and we have only scored 3 goals - one of them being a fluky Bentley free kick.

Also your saying Keane should of been kept for back up, at the very least, if Eidur was decent with Defoe. Robbie didn't want to sit on the bench any longer, he wanted to start. Therein lies the problem, he wasn't playing well enough to start game in game out.

Anyway he wanted to go. He obviously felt he couldn't force his way back into the side. Harry gave him plenty of opportunites for him to rekindle some semblance of form and he didn't.

Keane going out on loan is not the issue here, Lennon being out most definitely is.

Keep telling yourself that, we had a system that worked and player to bring some hold up play and a leader. And if you'll notice I returned to the forum before the match, so you can lick my balls on that one.

This is about Tottenham, so stop insulting me with that crap.

Lets get one thing straight here, this is a Spurs forum not a Robbie Keane Appreciation Society. Absolutely every single post of yours is to do with him or relates to him in some sort of way, and why he should be in the team when its obvious to all and sundry that he has been poor this season. Its boring change the flipping record.

You started posting when we were 1 nil down, in the second half, and it looked likely we wern't going to win - shocker.

I can see now, over time, how you get on peoples nerves. Your the one getting out of line just because I can see through the shit that you spout.

You might fool others on here, but you are full of complete flipping waffle.

As for licking your balls, think I'll pass on that one, or leave it to poor Robbie (I imagine that would be the ultimate in terms of fantasy for you lol), you little rectum bandit!

[Gino Ginelli]

Holy Shit! :scared:

[SurreySpur]

Holy Shit! :scared:

I think it was justified, the Keane obsession is just too much to take along with the way he prtrays himself as some tactical genius that sees things that no one else does. I actually respect Choda opinion on the game in general but those opinions are getting very rare now as everything just seems to revolve around Keane nowadays.

robbie keane is a personality in the dressing room. he make everyone else tick even if he isnt playing well. we needed him and we needed to make sure that we had a player who could be there around the team at all costs.

ledley is club captain and is respected because of the type of footballing genius he is. he however does not have the leadership qualities and is not always around the team.

it would have been better to have 5 strikers than making sure everyone gets a game. i would have prefered to have more options rather than having 4 strikers who dont cover all aspects of the game.

Well it is one factor, his leadership. Tactically and technically it is important to have one that can bring the play together up front as well, a real footballer. Even when not on top form he makes other players better, gives someone for Modric to play off and suited our system because we really need a classy one with JD.

Hopefully Pav will do that and won't revert back to laziness. Mind you a lazy pav is still much better than Crouch.
