Match Thread: Tottenham Hotspur vs Getafe

[Neil_Vaughan]

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

[mjbmedia]

I fancy a clean sheet in this one , no really i do

Defoe and Bent starting or maybe Defoe and Berbs

Hudd in the midfield

has anyone been told about Bale??

[berbzy 'G']

Apparently Getafe are gonna put a really week team out against us tomorow, cos they're proper struggling in the Spanish league and need to rest some of there key players...

[corkspur]

Looks like we have been putting out a really ****ing weak team for the last 2 months!!!!!

[irishspur]

Team 4 tomo........

cerny
chimbo dawson kaboul lee

lennon hudd zokora taraabt

berbs defoe



hopefully a 2 goal win.

[\jackdaw]

We should win and should win easy ... but .. look what happened out in Cyprus ...

ANyway .. going for a 3-1 becuase our defence wont keep a clean sheet.

[jrio]

"Getafe coach Michael Laudrup has decided to rest Swiss international midfielder Fabio Celestini and Nigerian striker Ikechukwu Uche for the team's UEFA Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Thursday.
Romanian fullback Cosmin Contra and former Barcelona defender Mario will miss the trip because of injury."

Getafe are also 18th in La Liga mirroring our position. With 4 goals scored and 8 conceded in 8 games they struggle to score but aren't quite as porous as we are. Robinson is supposed to be out for the next 2 games and it will be interesting to see what strikers are picked. Bent and Defoe I'm guessing.

[TURKISH]

It will be another game were we will win and then jol will come out with same old bullshit, "we are doing well in the cups errrrrr and last year we were in the same position but still manage 5th"

Players need to be dropped but its hard considering we have blackburn this sat ( i think its sat).

MY TEAM IS:

cerny
stalteri
benoit
dawson
kaboul
routledge
steed
tainio
cm i have no ****ing clue they are all a pile of shit atm and none deserve to play apart from tainio
defoe
keano

subs
ben anwick
bent
jj, zokora, hudd either one
gardner
lennon.

**** berby and chimbonda jol should dropp them and prove a point!
what ever

[Spur]

I'm going for a morale boosting win because the other team don't turn up, which will be followed up by a ridiculously typical arrogant Spurs performance on Sunday in which we stroll around looking nice and prancy and lose heavily and embrassingly.

[nuttyhotspurs]

cm i have no ****ing clue they are all a pile of shit atm and none deserve to play apart from tainio

tainio is a waste of space wherever he plays

Give that man a prize!!!


Spot on Spur

[TURKISH]

tainio is a waste of space wherever he plays

Yer hes a waste of space when playing out wide, hes a typical cm and he will give 100%, when was the last time he played in his natural position?

[Spur]

Give that man a prize!!!


Spot on Spur

:D Thanks.

Would you say that was negative of me though SS? Because I just think I was being realistic!? :confused:

[choda]

Yer hes a waste of space when playing out wide, hes a typical cm and he will give 100%, when was the last time he played in his natural position?

Tainio should start for us in the middle. His performances in there have been better than any of the others on the whole.

[mjbmedia]

Question??? Will Berbs get booed or cheered if he plays/ comes on ?

[jrio]

Probably get booed if he comes on for Defoe!

[TURKISH]

Probably get booed if he comes on for Defoe!

LOOOOOOOOOOL.


But will defoe want to score goals for jol and keep him in the job? :eek: .

I can see jol playing berby to prove that he hasn't got any problesm with him, but in truth he has!

[wayne wonder]

Totally off the subject didn't we beat besiktas last season?? they just beat liverpool i love it hahaha

[shakey18]

Totally off the subject didn't we beat besiktas last season?? they just beat liverpool i love it hahaha

Yeah i was happy with that one!

[choda]

Don't rate Rafa, been saying it for a while. It's not just the rotation, but they play long ball. He rarely plays through the middle, it's pathetic football for a club like that.

[wayne wonder]

if u need to win big one off games rafa's your man but apart from that in the league he aint got a clue to do with such atalented side that could and maybe win the league!!

****ing dislike the scousers and a couple of my mates support them too

[wayne wonder]

Yeah i was happy with that one!

shame chelsea couldn't lose to god i prey we win 2moro haha

[Spur]

How about us? We do it too.

Actually we do have football being played through our middle though. Pretty much always the opposings team's but football straight through the middle nevertheless.

[choda]

How about us? We do it too.

Actually we do have football being played through our middle though. Pretty much always the opposings team's but football straight through the middle nevertheless.

Oh yea, we have issues there too. Then main thing with us is that the players are too far apart though. You just can't play neat stuff in there and knit it together link it etc. with big gaps, nor can you defend correctly.

[jrio]

Liverpool fan on Betfair after we drew with them:

Really, for the first time, contemplating that Rafa might not be the man I thought he was.

I was one of the Reds lucky enough to have a pint with the great man, and fell in love with him immediately...the Champions League win was the icing on the cake. The man was God.

It's all fallen apart since. We're playing turgid football, utter dross - we have been since Evans left. Rafa doesn't seem to have a clue of his team, or tactics. And, in hindsight, under Ged we were a good Cup team too...and better domestically.

Really hope this passes and he comes through this hurdle, because I'm sitting here in tears. No idea what to do with myself.

PMSL.

yes we can , we have had highs and lows ( more lows , relegation being the worst ) since i have been following them , you can diss the players , diss the manger and the board if you want to , but you have to love the club through thick and thin .

Shite Hart Lane? Are you for real?

**** of those that come and go, not those that stay forever. Change it.

[shakey18]

Not the first time you've posted that.The only thing thats shite is your ****in post.

[Milney yid]

That is just a step too far Berbs. We've all been through hard times with Spurs, but calling our brilliant stadium Shite Hart Lane? You sound just like a pikey fan.

As for Liverpool, I really can't stand the club or their manager. Amazing how they manage to stay so quiet after the Everton match, yet one bad decision against Chelsea and they kick up a massive fuss. Their arrogant fans and diving captain also really wind me up.

[irishspur]

Lets just get behind the boys. Go to chelski if ure a sunshine supporter.

[spurs61]

This really is a nothing game, Getafe are a dreadful side (although so were the Bubbles and they gave us a fright) so we really should be thinking about more about Sundays clash with Blackburn. Having said that I think it's about time we stuck with one strike partnership and allowed them time to gel over three or four games, it's no wonder only Robbie is scoring, none of the forwards are given a chance to form an understanding. The midfield needs to be totally revamped as well, it's no use playing Lennon, Malbranque and Jenas in the same side, it places too much responsibility upon the holding player (neither of who are good enough) and allows the opposition to attack with impunity knowing that none of our players are "ball winners".

I think it has become apparent that a Kaboul / Dawson axis at the centre of the defence is too brittle and inexperienced to cope with the rigours of Premiership football. It looks to me like Kaboul is a direct replacement for Dawson rather than King, there appears to be no understanding of who is marking whom and both of them want to be the "leader" in the defence which has caused chaos at the back. I'd be thinking about playing 3-5-2 to steady what is a very porous spine of the team. We are lacking quality width now that Bale is injured so why stick with a redundant formation? Surely it makes more sense to flood the midfield and deny the opposition space and time to attack the back line?

I'm afraid I agree with Spur's predicition, we'll comfortably beat Getafe, the players and coach will come out with the ususal "we've turned a corner" bullshit and then they'll go out and get stuffed by a far better organised Blackburn side. The question is, will the board have the guts to sack Jol given the lack of an obvious replacement? I for one will not be happy to see Clive Allen have an impossible task thrust upon him as caretaker having no experience.

These are depressing times at the Lane, we need a something to spark some hope...

COYS.

Your right, We've got a brilliant stadium, brilliant support, and alot of famous history... When I refered to 'Shite' I was more refereing to the players at Spurs and the performance at the back, midfield, and in goal from Tottenham... apologise to everyone who saw it the wrong way... :confused:

[corkspur]

Easy win tonight i reckon,but Sundays game with Blackburn is huge.If we lose sunday,Jol is on the way out.4-1 tonight.

[SurreySpur]

Its Berba and Defoe up front

[SurreySpur]

If anyone doesnt have ITV4 then its on the itv website live i think. Just in case anyones interested.

[corkspur]

Gardner playing too,always a worry!!!

[SurreySpur]

Haha John Jensen is on the Getafe coaching squad.

I bet he isn't in charge of coaching the strikers!!

[irishspur]

Gardner playing too,always a worry!!!

True but Dawson had a nightmare against newcastle. Delighted to see Jol make six changes especially giving jenas a wake up call.

No worries, it works quite well detaching the player and using Windows media player. At least you can change the size of it!

Yep sorted that bit.. 8)

[corkspur]

Getafe are no mugs,holding the ball very well.

[\jackdaw]

Not scared to have a shot from anywhere the Spaniards ... kind of glad Robbo isnt playing ...

[shakey18]

Geddin JD!!

[\jackdaw]

First bit of nice play by the Spurs for sometime, hope its just not the oppostion making them look good.

[LifeTimeYido]

Arrrgghhh - why the **** does that kerb crawler keep calling him CHIMBOMBA !!

[shakey18]

Here we ****in go....

[\jackdaw]

What the **** was the defence doing there

[Keanoldinho]

does anyone know of a stream I could watch it on outside of the UK?

[\jackdaw]

Go here matey ...

http://www.myp2p.eu/Matches/Match3.htm

My need to download TVU .. just download and install then click on the link on the page. It will be in Danish but just turn the sound down.

[MarlowSpurs]

What the **** was wrong with Berbs goal, ****ing stupid german ref especially with a name like Kunt Kicker or what ever it is

[\jackdaw]

The only thing I could see was Defoe was offside then made himself "live" when he jumped for the header which he missed that let Berbs in.

Perhaps if he hadnt tried to head the ball it would of counted.

[denis-cro]

Very, very poor performance.... ****ing useless ****s...no idea...clueless all over the pitch... WE´RE IN ****ING DEEP SHIT !!! Yes, we have regular goal disallowed, but all in all, we´re ****ing poor team at the moment... FFS!!!

[\jackdaw]

According to the TV and the SUn .. (say no more) Jol is gone

[MarlowSpurs]

Well has Jol gone or not????????????????????
It gets ****ing weirder by the minute at White Hart Lane

[\jackdaw]

This just gone up on the Suns site

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/

and MJ didnt look too impressed coming out 2nd half

[spursmadnick06]

Well if the rumours are to be true and this is Jol's last game, let's hope the players play well and give him a good send off for all the good he's done for our club.

[shakey18]

He's gone.Severance pay sorted out, and this is his last 45 mins as Tottenham boss, that's the talk.

[MarlowSpurs]

Well if the rumours are to be true and this is Jol's last game, let's hope the players play well and give him a good send off for all the good he's done for our club.
I'll second that

[\jackdaw]

The players should be playing their bollocks off for MJ if it is true and they know.

But .. Clive Allen in charge till Ramos .. if it is him could be dodgy.

How long till the new (if their is one) manager comes in?

[shakey18]

Ffffuuuuuuuuuuuucccckkkkkk

[MarlowSpurs]

Where the **** was the defence???

[\jackdaw]

Can it get worse...

[MarlowSpurs]

Yep Tainio is coming on

[corkspur]

Kaboul is shocking,cant believe how bad spurs are. we are in deep shit this season guys.Chimbonda does not look in the least bit interested.

[MarlowSpurs]

My heart can't take much more of this

[shakey18]

My heart can't take much more of this

Ditto mate!!

[\jackdaw]

Personally I dont think Kaboul is shit.. just inexperienced in the English game. He will become better then his runs will work well for us.

Just needs to learn when to use them.

[denis-cro]

What a disgrace to a Spurs shirt this players are...****ING EMBARASSED !!!!!!!

[MarlowSpurs]

We may be losing but **** what a game,

[\jackdaw]

So MJ handing in his notice before kick off...

[\jackdaw]

Shame we cant play more like this all season .. the last 15 mins have been great to watch.

[corkspur]

Great to watch!!! Its unhealthy to watch this shit! They are a ****ing disgrace to the shirt! Heartless,gutless pricks!

[denis-cro]

We may be losing but **** what a game,

Even the luck turn back on us... This is unbelievable what we are capable of not turning into a goal...what a jinxed team we are FFS...

[MarlowSpurs]

Just score for ****s sake

[corkspur]

Goodbye Martin,Its been a blast (apart from the last 2 months)

[MarlowSpurs]

Bollocks,Bollocks, ****ing Bollocks,Dogs Bollocks, ****ing **** Shit Wank ****

[MACCSPURS]

Breaking that news at half-time ****ed everything up.

Yes, Jol has gone but we lost a-****ing-gain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ossie]

Does anybody still believe MJ should remain???'

[MarlowSpurs]

And to top it of Everton ****ing won, Jesus even Bolton got a point

[berbzy 'G']

Now I'm Gonna Call It Shite Hart Lane...

How ****ing Embarrising!!!

Tottenham Are ****ing Shit!!!!!!!!!!! Useless Overpayed ****s!!!

Berbs stop calling it Shite Hart Lane. Remember how you wanted to stop posting annoying shit, well this is the first real thing you've posted that has really annoyed me.

[denis-cro]

OK, Jol has been sacked, now we should clean the other rubbish from our team...Gardner, Stalteri, Tainio, and the other useless ****s from our team...

How ****ing Embarrising!!!

Tottenham Are ****ing Shit!!!!!!!!!!! Useless Overpayed ****s!!!

Darren Bent Sitting On The Subs Bench Giggling With Stalteri Over Something... He Don't ****ing Take Nothing Seriously, He's Gotta ****ing Goe Too!!!

Come on... give up on the Shite Hart Lane already :mad:

And give Bent a chance before you judge him. Didn't see your hero Berba saving us tonight either... :rolleyes:

[MarlowSpurs]

I'm suprised you can play at 100% giving the ammount of shit thats flying around the club at the moment, that Levy has a lot to ****ing answer for

[berbzy 'G']

Berbs stop calling it Shite Hart Lane. Remember how you wanted to stop posting annoying shit, well this is the first real thing you've posted that has really annoyed me.

I don't really care, we're playing shit home and away, and not doing anything about it!!!

[corkspur]

And that **** Kelmsley laughing in his seat behind Levy.What a bunch of ******s,only Spurs could finish in the top 5 two years running,and then go completely backwards.signing Bent was a huge waste of ****ing money that should have been spent elsewhere.We could go down with this defence that we have,no joke.There is no heart in this team,a load of big time charlies the lot of them.And the worst part is that shower of ****s up the road are playing some seriously eye catching football.what the **** has gone wrong in the last few months?Talk of Ramos taking over at the start of next season,which is no ****ing use! Another caretaker manager for the rest of this season? I ****ing hope not,It doesnt ****ing work!

[choda]

I don't really care, we're playing shit home and away, and not doing anything about it!!!

You're a ****ing idiot son.

[jrio]

A mighty fall. Favourites for 4th this season, we reside in 18th place, and have lost to a side in the same place in La Liga that had rested key attacking players. Getafe seemed superior to us during most of the game, mainly through their passing and organisation. I saw our first home defeat in Europe, to a struggling Madrid side that El Tel predicted couldn't score against us(Clemence fumbled it, not a "Perryman og"), and hadn't thought for a minute this "Madrid" side would repeat that. So it goes.

[shakey18]

Your right, We've got a brilliant stadium, brilliant support, and alot of famous history... When I refered to 'Shite' I was more refereing to the players at Spurs and the performance at the back, midfield, and in goal from Tottenham... apologise to everyone who saw it the wrong way... :confused:

Come on... give up on the Shite Hart Lane already :mad:

And give Bent a chance before you judge him. Didn't see your hero Berba saving us tonight either... :rolleyes:

Yes, Berbatov played his heart out...

As for Bent, He ain't even worth 16p... The bloke thinks it's all a joke, sitting on the subs bench giggling with Stalteri... The stupid prick proberbly didn't even realise the score untill he asked someone... to busy pissing about...

[JM_]

OK, Jol has been sacked, now we should clean the other rubbish from our team...Gardner, Stalteri, Tainio, and the other useless ****s from our team...

I actually think Gardner played quite well tonight, sad to see him injured again.

I hope you'll have a fresh approch over our future, and try to be a bit more positive now that Jol is out, as you have wanted for quite a while.

Also belive that this will shake up the squad, as everybody will have a fresh start. Including Jenas, who might have a hard time to get playing time unless he ups his game :D

COYS!

[berbzy 'G']

You're a ****ing idiot son.


So i'm an idiot cos Tottenham ain't winning games and saying sommin about it on a forum!!!

He's not playing, he can't affect the result. You want to see him looking miserable on the bench - how will that change anything? If he starts monkeying about on the pitch you might have a point, otherwise you're ill-informed.

[jrio]

You're an idiot because you called the ground "shite hart lane" and had been informed how upsetting that is to forumers.

Long wait, because he wouldn't take the job.

...I hope you'll have a fresh approch over our future, and try to be a bit more positive now that Jol is out, as you have wanted for quite a while...



True. I wanted him sacked last year after losing to Arse**l and Chelski in cup ties. Those two games 2-2 to Arse and 3-3 to Chelski ( not to mention return leg vs Seville ) have shown Jol´s tactical inexperience, and with him as a manager we would never have won anything or climb to top four in the Premiership, cause in the crucial games he would be ( as he was ) tactically outclassed by other manager. I´m not decreasing his contribute in our 5th position over last two years, of course, he has to be congratulated first of all but that achievement was his peak at the moment, and I truly believe that with some "courageous" manager instead of him, we would have entered the top four or even lift "some" silverware...cause we have very, very talented squad...
The way we are playing from start of this season is totally embarrassed, and him being axed is justified...
let´s hope that Clive will manage to turn around this rubbish until Ramos is appointed as a manager...

[shakey18]

SSN-Jol WAS sacked-and Hughton is gone too

[Spur]

Link for Hughton being gone please!

Tonight was really terrible. I was pleased to get a cheap ticket tonight, well worth keeping in contact with a new contact!

Tonight was rubbish, really rubbish. Disgraceful performance. Not a sell out tonight, far from it, many empty seats. Didn't feel like a Spurs game at all. Supporters all knew, especially at half time on their mobiles. "Stand up for Martin Jol" was ringing out, boo's at the end for the players, another cheer for the manager but he never re-apperaed.

Can someone just please explain what has been said by Sky / ITV about what actually happened. I hear Clive Allen gave a short interview can someone clarify please!

[SurreySpur]

Still waiting for any official soundbites spur.

Conflicting reports on whether he resigned before the game or was sacked. One unnamed senoir player said comolli said his contract was terminated, not sure if thats a sacking or a mutual consent type thing. Clive is taking training tomorow.

the next hour or so should be interesting though!

[Spur]

I think he was definately pushed, Dragon just said it again, said he had it confirmed again just then.

That's what my friend heard too, there is no doubt that he was sacked IMO, if they say he resigned it is for his own benefit no question. My friend who watched on TV said Jol seemed very angry all game...? From where I was he never got out of his seat all game it seemed. For the normal chants where he stands up and waves over, he stuck his hand up in the air, he knew he was going and he's been pushed 100% IMO.

[Spur]

Just want to say - Chimbonda. Rubbish again. Not had a decent game all year. Rubbish.

And Zokora captain! Managers could get sacked on that alone! Poor yet again from him.

[SurreySpur]

The Official word from the club is that Martin Jol and Chris Hughton were SACKED. Its just on SSN now

[Ginola's Son]

May I just say, that Getafe showed a true masterclass in defending in the last 20 minutes. It's everything we aren't. We could learn a lot from that.

Yeah i cant disagree with that.......apart from the lack of a happy birthday!!:p

[berbzy 'G']

I wonder if Klinsman would come over and sort us out... he's 'The Special One' :)

[Spur]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but only our second ever home defeat in europe today.

[JuicE]

Does that include the capitulation against Kaiserslauten?

[SurreySpur]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but only our second ever home defeat in europe today.

I almost forgot there was a game tonight !! ;)

Strange old evening.....

[jrio]

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but only our second ever home defeat in europe today.
It was and both Madrid clubs. Did you get that one? ;)

Would have been more resounding if we'd been competing against credible European clubs in the past 15 years, unlike in 85 when a poor Madrid side beat us through some Clemence fumbling.

Two Madrid clubs I hadn't noticed that. When do we face Atletico i've got a tenner on them already!

[Ginola's Son]

Do they compete in the auto windscreens then?

[Spur]

Do they compete in the auto windscreens then?

Can you not see the positive side in this one at all?

A double UEFA Cup winner who plays Spurs stylee football in joining!

[Ginola's Son]

No. I can't see it. I don't like how they've gone about it. I feel disgusted.

[wayne wonder]

It's not sunk in at the min because i was away doing a bit of scoring myself but we're ****ed !!

:(

[spursmadnick06]

I think it's easy to forget in amongst all that happened last night that there was actually a game going on, and we were quite shocking!

How many teams progress from each group?

[MiloMinderbinder]

Kaboul = a liability at present. Rocha must start on Sunday.

[Ginola's Son]

I love Kaboul's boundless energy. Start him in centre mid with Hudd

Yeah he is a bit gung-ho at the mo, unfortunately Rocha is out for a few weeks yet.I think Kaboul has great potential, but we need solidity at the moment.

At least nobody can blame last nights utterly shambolic midfield display on JJ, and at least he has the ability to pop up and score a goal unlike the others.

Yep, Daws and Kaboul are simply to inexperienced to play together, they both go for the same balls, Getafe's 2nd goal was shockingly bad from both of them, but mainly culpable was Younes "that'll be the ball then" Kaboul

****ing JJ, where was he last night? hiding I tells ya, get stuck in, find a pass do something ;)

Guy that used to sit behind me shouted at Dozzell for 2 years after he was sold :eek:

Daws is not inexperianced, he has been brilliantly consistent over the last 2 years.

Haha, wel everything was pretty much in slow motion with Dozzell, we sure have had some players in our time!

When King was with him yes. Last year he was playing on his instincts, the problem is that both he and Kaboul have the same instincts thus do not complement each other as a partnership. In King's absence, Kaboul should be partnered with Rocha and Dawson with Gardner.

[Gino Ginelli]

I love Kaboul's boundless energy. Start him in centre mid with Hudd

This is a good call, well the starting him at CM. Dunno for certain who'd best partner him. But he looks more comfortable there to me, assured on the ball and everything Zokora aint as a DM. Maybe Steed with him in the centre?

[SurreySpur]

I think Kaboul would compliment JJ in the middle. They'd both cover a lot of ground and wouldnt give the oppo any time on the ball. Kaboul is a very intimidating figure and that could be a real bonus in the middle of the park, he reminds me of a young desailly, strong, confident, good on the ball, and built like a brick shit house!

[Gino Ginelli]

Just thought; What about Kaboul and Boateng? Could be a good balance that.

[Ginola's Son]

How do you know? Boateng could be shite

[Gino Ginelli]

I don't know. I'm speculating. Hell, we've got that many CM's we may never hit on the best partnership!

[SurreySpur]

Cant be any worse than any of the other CM combinations weve seen so far this season GS.

Longer than that - it was 10 weeks from the time of the op so we're looking at the latter end of December. Amazingly Gardner played very well before he got his injury.

Yeah, i heard between 7-10 weeks, so Dawson and Kaboul will play.Agree that AG played well yesterday-and then gets injured!.

Well, if we bring in the guy who has won it for the last two years, why would you do that?!

Just a bit down but glad this is all over. Emotion often clouds judgement, but starting to feel quite excited by Ramos coming. TBH I think this is part of problem for most, Martin Jol is so likeable but many also recognise it had to happen for us to push on.

Yes, that's why I said on another post that I thought part of the problem was that Jol has presence and is so darn persuasive. I mean Peter C wants to have his children.

Yeah, but I think he means he's planning to kidnap them. :D

It's rumoured peterc bears an uncanny resemblance to the childcatcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. :eek:

I have a feeling Peter C is Robert Jol (Jol's nephew) and PA. That would accound for a lot on here!

Hmmm, probably got one of his "children" to post for him on here whilst he was driving BMJ to the ground.
