Match Thread: Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Tottenham Hotspur

[Neil_Vaughan]

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

[Spur]

A win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win.

Nothing less.

[Keanoldinho]

don't know much about them but we better get the 3 pts

[berbzy 'G']

A win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win.

Nothing less.

I think Spur has answered everyones questions and answers to this thread simply... :)

[Keanoldinho]

I hope Boateng gets another start

[Spur]

I hope Boateng gets another start

I hope so too.

I also hope this team don't **** up this trip to Israel.

If they do not have 3 points in the team bag on the trip back home then they best not make that trip. I will be pissed. We've already made fools of ourselves a million times this season. One more right now is not welcome in the slightest.

I want to see efficiency of the highest order. I want to everything to be spic and ****in' span.

This is our 3 point trip. 3 points or bust. Will not be happy if people **** about. Get in, get out, 3 points, lovely. Then the real work starts on Sunday. Another potential banana skin.

[canadaspur]

We'd better win this...it's a huge game that is totally under the radar.

[Gino Ginelli]

Now is this game worth my working until 6:30 tonight, and my lunch hour tomorrow, so i can knock off early and watch it down the boozer?

These eastern europe(?!) games are always flat uneventful affairs, and I I'll probably get bored. Ch5/ITV4 will show highlights later I'm guessing.

[SurreySpur]

I think this is going to be a much tougher game than most people think. Isreali football has come along way over the last five years, i still think we'll win it but its going to be tough.

And they will throw themselves to the floor at every opportunity, so we'll have to keep an eye on that.

[peterc]

Totally agree with you there SS, it sure is not going to be an easy one.

[olly27]

What line up does everyone think he'll go with?

I think it will be:

Robbo
Chimbo
Dawson
Kaboul
Lee
Malbranque
Zokora (would like it to be Boetang though)
Jenas
Lennon
Keane
Berbatov

On another nore, does anyone know when Bale is expected to be back, will he make Wigan?

[Zinedinekilbane]

A win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win, a win.

Oh come on we're ****ing Tottenham ****ing Hotspur.

It's like saying that England can't beat Croatia or Israel or Russia.

Oh I see your point.

But no seriously, anything less than a 7-0 win should be viewed as failure. Ok we've been in a few troubles this year so i'll accept 6-0. But nothing less.

A clean sheet too. I'll be so disappointed if a clean sheet isn't kept.

[peterc]

We seem to have short memories , does 1-1 vs Farmagusta ring any bells?

3-0 Spurs

JUANDE RAMOS BLUE AND WHITE ARMY:D :p

[choda]

I think he should rest as many as possible for Wigan and hope we win. We should win anyway.

Edit: I've just checked and we are playing Sunday Corkspur, you donkey. :p

[TURKISH]

Im not sure what team he will pick, i wont make the mistake of making keane my captain for fantasy league as Ramos will probly bench him!

I feel he will pick a strong team, a team that will be suited to european football.

robbo
lee
chimbonda
dawson
kaboul
zokora
jj/prince
lennon
steed
keano C
berba

A good win here with a clean sheet and take advantage of wigan like a drunk bird at a party...:confused: .................dont ask :p

[Zinedinekilbane]

Any word yet of the team for later?

[SurreySpur]

Im going to go for a 1-3 Spurs win but i think it will be a very tough game. Im looking forward to seeing who Juande opts for in midfield and up front, im hoping he restores Keane and maybe partners him with Bent. in midfield i hope he keeps Boateng with either JJ or Zokora in the middle, with a run of games i think Boateng could make a big difference to our underperforming midfield.

Tainio and Boateng would make a decent central midfield partnership in my opinion.

[SurreySpur]

Kaboul, Boateng, Defoe and Bent all out.

Stalteri, Zokora, Berba, Keano all come in.

Chimbonda plays at Centre-back

[jrio]

Sounds like a set of several potential banana skins waiting to happen.

[\jackdaw]

Just got a nasty feeling about this game, but think we will sneak through in the end 2-1 or so.

[Spur]

Chimbo = not a centre back.

Agree jrio.

[Spur]

Was also going to say;

Stalteri = not a right back.

[jrio]

You could also add the heavily right-footed Lee is not a left-back.

[Spur]

Could do. But Lee has been playing well lately.

Could very easily say that the two central midfielders of ours are not central midfielders. Can't tell you what they are, but central midfielders they most definately are not.

[jrio]

They're footballers, Spur, but not as we know them. Very surprised if Ramos doesn't make at least one change at ht. Spurs are fairly dismal with only Berb, Keane and Mal having any ideas.

[MACCSPURS]

Is it just me or is anyone else bored with this match? I feel like I am watching a league 2 game it is so dull.

[wayne wonder]

Thank god im at work and not watching the game by the looks of it!!

[berbzy 'G']

Keano!!!!!!!!!

[SCIFIN17YID]

w0000t keano ! nice strike too.

[\jackdaw]

How poor are Spurs at the moment.. first real attempt at goal and Keano scores.

[berbzy 'G']

Keane took it very well... oh, and Jenas is a useless c*nt...

[jrio]

That goal was all about Mal. Started the move in midfield by flicking it to JJ, retrieved it after Berb could do little with the ball from Lennon, then managed to make slightly more of Keane's over-hit ball to knock in an inviting cross.

[\jackdaw]

2-0 .. Mal set up the second as well .. cant see us throwing it away now .. famous last words

[berbzy 'G']

2 0... All we got to do is play like this all the time or better...

[peterc]

Finally 2-0 up, took us a while to settle down.:p

[jrio]

2-0 and Mal again from the left. Easily our best player and the goals have come when we've looked rather nervous. Berb looked a little lax with the first blocked effort and the header was a bit of a sucker punch.

[SCIFIN17YID]

2-0 w0000t DM9. he looks very happy.

[berbzy 'G']

I don't think we need a LM... Malbranque seems specialised enough for that position...

[wayne wonder]

Im just glad berbs came spoke out to quash these silly rumours and stories we're in the papers more than bloody beckhams

[berbzy 'G']

Need berbs to get a hat-trick

[berbzy 'G']

Oh **** OFF REF!!!!

BBC website has a link to BBC London where you can stream the game on radio. I wouldn't bother though, the commentators just said (indignantly) "the game has stopped nobody is interested in playing football" ha ha ha they must be talking about Zokora and Jenas.

unfortunatley i cant get ch5 over ere i just found bbc commentary and these commentators i think have been very pro tottenham all season.cheers WW

Is a link to a stream .. choose channel 3 and turn the sound down.

In the Real Player use the sliding bar to match the commentary to the picture and you get perfect english commentary.

But a real lacklustre display.. ok they got the 2-0 lead but if we were playing a team witn more quality we would be losing by now.

HAHAHAHAHAHA mate i just burst out laughing like a loon in the office!! raped by an otter lol lol lol

I cant wait to get home and watch how bad this game is

[LifeTimeYido]

Steed and Keano are the players that stand out so far - AGAIN !! - im thinking that if we get a LH mid/Def in Jan - Steed should be given a run in the centre of the park.

Mind you even Berbs looks kinda up for it now !!

Like a chimp !! - given the ball away shit loads.

[Spur]

I'd like to say something about the central midfield - but I haven't seen them play yet this season.

Please Juande, just make Juan change in Boateng. Oh and get Chimbonda out of CB.

I've seen lennon's name on the teamsheet but he seems to have gone missing once again :rolleyes:

[MiloMinderbinder]

I've never liked Chimbo, saw what he's really about at Wigan, had a purple year last seaon, reverted to type again this season as a lazy show boating bottler.

Miguel is class, if you have 2 proper centre halves and a holding player, otherwise you may as well play three out and out wingers and be done with it.

[Spur]

Lennon has been crap.

The central midfield have been shit too. But they've been shit all year.

Yeah chimbo's a cock so is his agent i wouldn't be unhappy of we sold him VERY overated!!

Yeah miguel does like to get forward a bit too much whatever happened to right backs defending????

[Spur]

Did anyone see Jenas' first two set-pieces - what a joke. I was rolling around my living room laughing.

His third was alright, but i'll bet you all £3 the next one he hits will be shit.

[MiloMinderbinder]

I've seen lennon's name on the teamsheet but he seems to have gone missing once again :rolleyes:

He's fast becoming Ruel Fox mark 2. Remember the thread asking if you'd sell Lennon for £15mil, I said yes, everyone mocked me....last laugh! :p

One trick pony, easily figured out.

[MiloMinderbinder]

=Yeah miguel does like to get forward a bit too much whatever happened to right backs defending????

Lost art. Remember, G. Neville is denigrated for actually being able to defend, shows you what the average fan knows.

[wayne wonder]

I think Neville's the best right back in england period he can actually defend and thats what i want from my right back granted he's a cocky **** but why not he's won the lot near enough

[MiloMinderbinder]

I now feel sorry for Hapoel. 2 - 0 and one man down at home.

[MiloMinderbinder]

I think Neville's the best right back in england period he can actually defend and thats what i want from my right back granted he's a cocky **** but why not he's won the lot near enough

And his diaries are most amusing, Sir.

[jrio]

Defoe for Mal. Must be a reaction to the s/o. Should be looking for at least another 2 here.

[\jackdaw]

It just seems no one wants to play football, playing against 10 men of a very poor team should be the time to go for a big confidence building win but no one seems interested.

[\jackdaw]

Bent and Boeteng on ... Jenas and Keano off

[MiloMinderbinder]

1649: The general consensus from you is that Jermain Jenas is a waste of space but the Uefa Cup isn't. Everyone is watching the clock at work and waiting to go home.

Quote from the Beeb website.

[spurs61]

Any chance of sending Jenas down to Gaza waving the Star of David and singing Hatikvah (Israeli national anthem). Or better yet send him in dressed as a balding BBC journo??!

[MiloMinderbinder]

nah, dress him up in a heavy coat and rucksack and have him stand in the middle of Dizengoff Square, our friends in the IDF will do the rest.

[MiloMinderbinder]

Any moment now the BBC commentators are going to explode, jump over the barriers and go on the pitch themselves, asking the Hapoel players "Is that all you got, we'll take you all on". Anyone that's missed this commentary, it's comic genius.

[spurs61]

Oh I don't wish him any harm, just a few months in captivity!

However you write it - we were still shite.

Clean sheet and a win i suppose.

[Spur]

Wasted 90 minutes + 15 waiting for the second 45 of my life.

Oh that was bad. Really bad. Really, really bad.

Important to get a clean sheet - Keane just said it so I reckon it was drilled into them before the game.

The Israeli's were happy to settle for 2-0 and so were we. They are in the same boat we were two weeks ago re: manager - in short it was like two Tottenham Hotspurs playing. Very nothing football. We just had a little more about us. Not much else to say.

They got ten men behind the ball, and they only had ten on the pitch. That tells you alot of what happened. They crammed their own box with 6 players when defending too - so pretty tricky to cut through.

[SurreySpur]

HaHa now Bolton have just gone one up away to Bayern Munich!!

I didnt see that one coming.

[choda]

Well, I didn't watch it, so it just looks great to me. A win, a clean sheet and Berba scored. I'm taking the positives. Those games are often nothing games anyway. Manu looked ordinary last night because it was too easy. They didn't have to play and have plenty of matches to come. I'm sure the same applied here.

Choda, yes we won, but it was embarrassing to watch, Juande Ramos is starting to realise what he has got himself into now, we were very, very, very poor.:o

[berbzy 'G']

Shit match... But Keane should of got a hat-trick... e could of anilated them...

So far so good... Conceded 1 goal in 3 games under Ramos... and unbeaten too... But there is still a long way to go.... I just want this season over and done with now...

[mjbmedia]

seems like the players are starting to bicker amonst themselves now, a few 'rows' developed in that game. is it wanting to win more or unhappiness?
if its the former then they didnt show it on the ball cos we was 11 v 10 and still didnt sweep the floor with them.

Poor, poorer than i thought we would be, i want us to finish teams off, instead of that we sent them to sleep.

I didn't watch it either because I was working but it's a good result and good to see Berba getting on the score sheet plus Robbo getting another clean sheet. If they defended like Spur is saying then 2-0 is a good result.

I watched the man u game yesterday too but I thought they looked pretty good although they didn't get out of 2nd gear all game. Ronaldos goal was a cracker as was Rooneys but Ronaldos little cut in on the defender was sweet and the finish was class too.

[JuicE]

Let's be positive FFS!

[denis-cro]

At least we have won. We played a weaker opponent away this season ( Famagusta ) and didn´t win, so it´s improvement. First away win this season...only in November...:o

[choda]

Win's a win for now. This is nothing more than what I expected; Ramos to come in and gradually make the team more solid, fit and efficient. In time he will make us quality all round. He's doing the business. Wins and clean sheets are what we need now and he's doing it. It will build confidence and we will get better and better, but there wasn't going to be an overnight miracle.

Fair enough a win is a win, however, we did play against a very weak side and one extra man in the second half. One would expect much more.:o

I am seeing things as they are, being realistic. I just expected the players to respond in a much more positive way, especially trying to impress the new gaffer. I don't recall saying that the Farmagusta was a good result.
My post read as follows:

Wish I was, I wouldn't have to pay to see them play, now Boeteng played and suddenly he is not quite ready for Premiership, but quite a few of you cursed Jol, Defoe cost us our win today with at least three clear sitters, the only mistake Jol did was not substituting him.
Dont' bother apologising Spur, I don't expect one.

[coys]

im just happy that we kept a clean sheet and score more than once.thats been our problem not putting games to bed,i'd sooner win ugly or boring than loose spectacularly.

[Spurs 4 Life!]

Well , We should have been awarded a penalty due to Keane's shot which had then came off the arm for a spurs corner why not a penalty? But overall first half spurs great game second half boring Bent should've scored when he took it round the keeper only to tap it in to hit the player sliding in use your EYES bent look first!

[mjbmedia]

i agree. no one really took the bull by the horns and said to Ramos, watch me play im the dogs bollox you gotta pick me . Sure the forwards scored but they hardly ran the weak defence ragged tho i know they were outnumbered 11-2 .
Then when they went down to 10 men we didnt make any effort to give ourselves a good scoreline to lift ourselves. Im not saying 8-0 stuff but 4or 5 would have been expected with our 'quality' v their poorness. Yet nothing happened , the team looked like they were unmotivated as per V Getafe (where they had every reason to be 'weird' even if it was unprofessional), players were moaning at each other a lot instead of being positive.
. Still want to see us killing games off getting morale boosting results rather than 'blimey that was boring thank gods its finished' results. And that game was a sitter for a morale booster.

Well , We should have been awarded a penalty due to Keane's shot which had then came off the arm for a spurs corner why not a penalty? But overall first half spurs great game second half boring Bent should've scored when he took it round the keeper only to tap it in to hit the player sliding in use your EYES bent look first!

Not a penalty.

And Bent's touch was a touch too heavy.

Is that Peter C or Levy?

[Gino Ginelli]

Has anyone found the highlights on t'internet? I'm cursing this fecking project I'm working on, I've seen or heard no coverage.

Glad to hear Berba scoring though! C'mon you SPurs!!

It was a penalty look at his arm he jumps in with his arms up anyway a wins a win so who cares COYS!

No. He jumps across the goal with his back toward the goal. His arms are in their natural position - he doesn't stretch or anything. No intent whatsoever.

well a win, as for the score we should of won by a length, bent a clear chance, and also keane missing 2 clear chances,

the 1 off the defenders block, he had a lot of time and this is what puts question marks on keane, world class strikers would of buried those 2 chances he had,

and full marks to ramos for making the changes early, as it ultimetly will keep all 4 strikers on their toes, and kowing they have to take their chances when presented with them

in long run robbie will be much sharper and clinical inside the box

So we can expect 50 goals in 30 games from Robbie anymore, is it?

I don't know why you want to focus on the misses. Every player misses chances, they are human you know.

[neilmcnab]

misses can and will cost points/games, and im sure if defoe or bent miss chances u,ll make a big deal of it too,

and they do miss chances, what i am sayig is having scored the 1 goal he went on to miss two other golden chances,

keane needs to regularly score those other chances to be considered a world class striker, compared to van nist, eto,o ,drogba etc,

their goal to shot ratio says it all,

and as i said he is our best striker at present..

If Defoe and Bent score 25 in 33 games you won't hear a peep out of me in terms of goalscoring. That's supreme goalscoring. Get a grip Neil.

You'll probably hear me complaining about Defoe's movement, decision making and link play though.

if they had a pretty much unbroken run of 33 games with pretty much the same partner they most likely would score that sort of number. However im not taking sides just making a point.

Well they'd have to step up a scoring level to do it and their all round game would also have to step up a notch, two notches for Defoe, to be as good a striker as Keane.

I think Bent will become a class player for us, I think Defoe will end up moving on.

[neilmcnab]

er chod mate is that ur iopinion or is that everyone,s opinion ?? i mean do i /we all have to agree, or can we say nah we dont think so ...???erm...
