Match Thread: Tottenham Hotspur vs Reading (FA Cup)

[Neil_Vaughan]

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

[berbzy 'G']

Well I don't care how we win, But I just hope we don't make it hard for ourselves by conceding 4 goals again... :o :o :o

It's a shame we won't have our new defenders before this game comes... But I'm going for 3 1 Spurs...

[mjbmedia]

this used to be our manor, the FA cup was tottenham, its about time we owned it again

[Gino Ginelli]

10-8 Spurs...

[Sparkystav]

By half time lol

Stav

[Spur]

I find it hard to get excited by this game now.

They scored 4 against us before and chances are with them for doing it again. Conceding another 2 from set-pieces has done little to boost my confidence. Our ties may as well be decided on the flick of a coin lately.

[MarlowSpurs]

10-8 Spurs...

I think it will be closer than that more like 10-9 spurs

[hastingsyid]

be realistic for **** sake









13-12 spurs

[berbzy 'G']

0 - 0 ...........................................

[Keanoldinho]

1-0 Spurs:D Mitko

[gazzaG8]

I don't know where to begin these days, i don't have to tell you lot w've got to tighten up at the back so who do we play there?
My starting XI would be:-

Robbo,
Chimbo,
King,
Zokora,
Lee,
Lennon,
Jenas,
KPB,
Malbranque,
Keane,
Berbatov.

3-2 Spurs

[Chewy]

Robbo
Chimbonda King Rocha Zokora
Lennon Huddlestone Jenas Malbranque
Bent Keane

[TURKISH]

There was a time when no matter what was going on in the league us spurs fan would be up for an FA Cup game.

Im happy because we are gonna be making changes with all these divy defenders. I will make one last saloon for those dipsticks.

robbo
chimbo
lee
rocha
daws
lennon
jj
zokora
steed
defoe
berba

Give king a rest save him for the carling cup.

[gazzaG8]

I see the 3 of us would drop Daws after yesterday

[berbzy 'G']

Zokora's off to the African Cup soon, isn't he?
Cos EVertons Pienaar is leaving this week I think...

[Keanoldinho]

I'd go for

GK Cerny (**** Robbo he acts like the goal line is glue and he's stuck)
RB Chimbo
LB O'Hara (**** it he's got a left foot and can't be worse than Lee)
CB King (We need him)
CB Daws
RW Malbranque (he's a RW anyway)
LW Taarabt (deserves a shot over one trick pony Lennon plus left peg)
DM Kaboul (he's good on the ball and might surprise us there)
AM Jenas
CF Berbatov
ST Defoe

Robbo Tainio Hudd Lennon Keano

[spurs61]

Although Reading will field a reserve side they will have something to prove to Coppell. I reckon this will be tighter than most think. 2-1 to us with Defoe and Keane scoring (but not both starting).

[RuFuS]

I just want to win to shut those gobby ex chelscum fans up again.
I dont mind chopsy fans coming to the lane extoling their team like Mancs, Scoucers, Scum1, Scum 2 they've got something to shout about.
Even one club cities like Toon, Leeds and Sunderland can have a shout but a bunch of retards who currently lord it over their local rivals, Oxford and Swindon need to be sent packing.

Try Tottenham High Road, London N17 at about 3.00 on Saturday, follow the majority of the people on the road, you can't go wrong.

[\jackdaw]

Try Tottenham High Road, London N17 at about 3.00 on Saturday, follow the majority of the people on the road, you can't go wrong.

Reminds me of something that happened to me and a couple mates when we were a bit younger. We were about 13 and went to Southampton for the first time ice skating. None of us knew where the ice rink was and were a bit shy to ask anyone.

Then we saw a guy with ice skates so decided to follow him. Twnety minutes later we were in a middle of a housing estate lost .. bugger went home !!

Anyway ... we should win this one but it wont be a crazy game like the last.. 2-1 Spurs.

Listening to the radio they are saying it wasnt a goal but a bad mistake by Robbo going backwards... just as well Berbs got his finishing bots on this half.

[SCIFIN17YID]

Well, It should be Robbo last performance for Spurs ever again ...

Yes, Cerny Cerny !!!

[irishspur]

i agree. hes cost us too many points

[berbzy 'G']

****ing Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wayne wonder]

He's a great shotstopper but his handling has always been suspect he's gotta be put under pressure by a new keeper

[SCIFIN17YID]

omg red card tom hudlestone ****ing skank ! omg !

[berbzy 'G']

Disaster and a Shamble!!! :mad:

[wayne wonder]

cue last minute reading winner :(

[denis-cro]

It should be also Huddlestone´s LAST performance for Spurs ever again... This was absolutely unprofessional ... and he doesn´t deserve to wear Spurs´ shirt with his behaviour

[SCIFIN17YID]

How did you see what he did ? and what exactly did he do ?

ahhh he head butted him.

[irishspur]

It should be also Huddlestone´s LAST performance for Spurs ever again... This was absolutely unprofessional ... and he doesn´t deserve to wear Spurs´ shirt with his behaviour

much too harsh he hardly touched him.

[wayne wonder]

It should be also Huddlestone´s LAST performance for Spurs ever again... This was absolutely unprofessional ... and he doesn´t deserve to wear Spurs´ shirt with his behaviour

lol the way you're going we wont have a side left if its to be their last ever performance in a spurs shirt:p

[MarlowSpurs]

What the **** is happening to Spurs???????????????????

[SCIFIN17YID]

damn we need to quickly switch play and go in for the kill, otherwise they will go in for the kill and take advantage of this 10 men team we now have, and this 2 - 2 score ! FFS.

[wayne wonder]

What the **** is happening to Spurs???????????????????

just the usual game mate what do u expect

[berbzy 'G']

Jenas is ****ing useless!!!

[SCIFIN17YID]

[MarlowSpurs]

just the usual game mate what do u expect

My heart can't take too much more of this

[wayne wonder]

My heart can't take too much more of this

Im saving my energy and my poor heart for the scum game as thats gonna be a rollercoaster of a tie!!:(

[SCIFIN17YID]

[denis-cro]

We´re struggling vs 2nd/3rd Reading lineup... This is embarassing ... We´ll it looks like Poyet´s words after Villa defeat haven´t been to much effective ... I´M STILL WAITHING FOR RAMOS/POYET´S ACTION CAUSE SOME PLAYERS MUST BE EXITED FROM SPURS ASAP

[berbzy 'G']

I thought we'd walk this game...

[MarlowSpurs]

I thought we'd walk this game...

We should have done

[berbzy 'G']

Keep King and Bale, Get rid of all the other defenders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wayne wonder]

Got help us on weds its gonna be a shocker if we carry on like like this

[Ioang]

Bring in new ones first!!!

[berbzy 'G']

The defending was shite, But the main thing we didn't do is take the chances we created...

Dawson, Chimbonda, Lee, Robinson, Jenas, Huddlestone = useless

King, Lennon, Keane, berbs, Zokora, Taarabt, = Very good

[MarlowSpurs]

Trouble is we have now got another game to play that we could have done without

[MarlowSpurs]

When are the replays???????????

[berbzy 'G']

Trouble is we have now got another game to play that we could have done without


Your right..The players are gonna be knackered...

[denis-cro]

When are the replays???????????

Tuesday, 15th January, @ 20:00

[matthius23]

Just got home from the game...

I've stood by Robbo long enough... but no more. Horrific display.

The only bright note for today was Aaron Lennons performance... best of the season by far.

The result was not good enough, we should have wrapped it up by half time.

[berbzy 'G']

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=506315&in_page_id=1779&ito=newsnow


How can Ramos back Robinson after another one of his usuals...

You wouldn't get managers like Ferguson or Benitez saying that if they had Robinson...

What is this club coming too...

[Defoe8]

Went down to The Lane today to see the match (sat in the Park Lane end), great atmosphere and we were unlucky to draw.

We were all over them until the sending off and had numerous chances to put the game to bed, with Keane being one of the guilt parties.

Even though Berba scored, he went missing for most of the second half but Lennon and Malbranque were ripping them apart down the flanks and Ledders was a rock in the back.

Robbo should have smothered the shot that led to the second goal or at least parried it out of play, but once again he parries it right to the feet of the incoming striker and we end up conceeding.

[Sparkystav]

Havent seen the game today yet, but the fixture list is getting worse for us.

Arsenal wed, chelsea Sat, Reading Tue, then Arsenal the following Tue.

Its gonna be hard.

Stav

[mjbmedia]

has the Chelsea game been moved to the Saturday 12th then?? it was a Monday night Setanta game so ive arranged to go away sat/sun as i wont be missing it. so it had better still be Monday night , **** the FA cup replay, that can wait until the 4th round weekend :mad:

[mjbmedia]

i know i know its been moved and now not on TV, nice one , why cant it be the sat evening game Setanta show or is that gonna be Fulham v Derby or someting equally as entralling

[berbzy 'G']

i know i know its been moved and now not on TV, nice one , why cant it be the sat evening game Setanta show or is that gonna be Fulham v Derby or someting equally as entralling


We are still playing Chelsea on Monday live on Setanta... The Reading game is gonna be moved to Wednesday or Thursday...

[mjbmedia]

i dont think so, dont believe the antiquated official site, the ******s cant even run a team and a club yet alone a website being kept up to date.

people are already offering their tickets for sale for Saturday

[berbzy 'G']

i dont think so, dont believe the antiquated official site, the ******s cant even run a team and a club yet alone a website being kept up to date.

people are already offering their tickets for sale for Saturday

Thats what I was thinking... But once they confirmed a game date that is being shown live, and tickets have already been purchased for that fixture, then by law it should stay that way...

The Reading site mentioned about the Spurs v Chelsea fixture and said basically that they might have to change theres? :confused:

[mjbmedia]

i think that quiet a while ago the Chelsea game was moved it was also stated that if either us or Chelsea were in a replay the Chelsea game with us would be moved back to the Saturday and not shown on TV , ie **** up your own fans lives rather than the players, who let the fans down, being put out by having three games in 6/7 days

You've gotta be kidding? How can any team possibly play Mon/Wed/Sat/Tue, the latter being the Arse 2nd leg? That's 4 games in 9 days!

[neilmcnab]

just seen brief highlites on sky sports news, KEANE missed a sitter, 2yds out,

our attacking playmakerJERMAINE pose for the camera JENASS missed 2 sitters,when strait through on goal, and to top it all

berba missed a sitter again from 2yds

oh sorry there more topping all that ROBBO, yep that mans in the news again, accredited with their first goal, and an assist for readings equaliser

is it worth watching on bbc1????, highlights or low lights???

what makes it even worse and more ridiculous is that Ramos is still ****ing backing Robinson... I can't bare to think where this club is gonna end up this season...

Defenders are ****ing crap (apart from King and Bale), No new defenders will come to us, Ramos looks set to keep that ****ing prat in goal after what he's done for England and Spurs...

I couldn't wait for this month to come, But now it looks like we're gonna have to wait to the summer now!!!

[neilmcnab]

i think spurs are quietly looking for a new keeper, but dont wana shatter robbo,s confidence anymor,

to be fair though if we had taken our chances, AND WERE TALKING ABOUT 4 OPEN GOALS, WELL 2 OPEN AND 2 ONE ON ONE, WE WOULD OF PUT THE TIE TO BED,

POOR FINISHING AND EQUALLY POOR GOALKEEPING.

A GOALKEEPING COAH MAY DO THE TRICK.....BUT AM SURE WE SEARCHING FOR COMPETITION FOR THE NO1 JERSEY

What keeper should we go for?

I'd say Cudicini...

[neilmcnab]

i like cudicini.... and i think we need to have other options , a younster we can actually call on to either put on bench or actually play.

but there are other keepers, the spanish keepers are very tidy in the air,i like victor valdes.

[Ginola's Son]

Robinson just can't keep making howlers. We'd forgive him one or two per season, but this is too regular and it's costing us points...and has stuck another game on our heavy fixture list.

I don't blame him totally, it's possible that the ball didn't cross the line...but he should really punch dangerous balls like that out

[TURKISH]

He luck seems to have run out and i can't understand were this magnifience keeper we brought 3 years ago has gone?:confused:

[Ginola's Son]

****ing England has ****ed him up. When you get vilified for something that isn't your fault, it's gotta hurt.

[TURKISH]

The england curse. When robert green plays for england thats it he will turn shit.

[Ginola's Son]

I'm quite happy for him not be 'englands no.1' anymore.

I'd love Carlo to come in, utterly wasted at Chelsea, he was the best keeper in the prem circa 2001

[N17-YID]

We have to be patient !!! Let Ramos bring in the players he wants and let him adjust the team to his liking. It will take a while for the team to adjust from Jol's 'play for fun' approach. Ramos is the special one he just needs some time !!!, im also going for a 2-1 win at the dump on wednesday night ;-)

COYS!!!

[Ginola's Son]

2-1 defeat is better.

I'll wait for the thread and then tell you why

sorry but i thought that was the whole point of having a DoF, that theres no chopping and changing of squad too much upon change of manager , if we got 5th twice 'playing for fun' then we must be pretty ****ing spectacular :rolleyes:
