I actually said he retaliates because he doesnt get protection from referees ACTUALLY! You want him to just stand and take it with the possibility of getting injured? AND we have only paid £6million for him currently, but yes, he has been worth every penny of the £15million we will pay because like him or not, he is a quality player. He will be missed....maybe not by judgemental people like you but he will be by us. How many players has he actually injured with his horrible dirty play? Anyone been out for a sustained period? even a few weeks? I'll save you looking, the answer is no. And don't be using the Greek, he got himself into trouble with his stupid tackle and ended up on the recieving end of a bad challenge himself cos of it. He's had a good six weeks but overall you've still beaten Manure and Chelsea in his absence. And I'd say that assualt on a Hull player last season was pretty bad.

Weren't Everton supposed to fall apart once the great Fellani got injured? They've beaten Chelsea and Manure since he got injured. Overrated.

I think Palace's chance was in the first game and they've had two poor league results since. We beat Donny 3-1 last season with the likes of the Fonz, Sidwell and Salifou starting so don't see why we can't do it again. Have a strong bench just in case we're struggling.

Don't get that one Trent?

We can win home games against Wolves, Sunderland, Blackburn and one of SHA/Everton imo. We can win away to Hull, Pompey and two out of Wigan, Bolton and Stoke imo. That would give us 24 points btw.

Travelling back from Wigan perhaps......? Nah.

Everton have 38 points. I can see us finishing on 67 or 68 points so for Everton to finish above us, they'll have to win 10 of their last 12 games. Tall order even in the form they're in. Interestingly they still have to play us, Man. City and Spurs in the run in so they'll certainly have a say in who makes 4th.

I think that was as Pompey still owed money to Spurs for various other deals. As they were unhappy Begovic turned down Spurs to go to Stoke.

**** that, does he ever go to any games?! Actually I can see them winning at Bolton and so he'll be back on sunday night proclaiming that they've given up on 4th to concentrate on winning the FA cup seeing as they're incapable of competiting in two competitions at once.

I will go for: Guzan Beye Cuellar Collins L. Young Sidwell Delph Milner Fonz Carew Young Subs Gabby, Downing, Davies, Dunne, Salifou, Friedel, Albrighton if he's fit. Rest Downing as he's fcuked, keep Gabby and Dunney fresh aswell. Palace will be tricky, I wouldn't be surprise if we need a replay to get through this tbh like Donny last season which will be the last thing we need.

BTW at various stoppages in the game tonight during the second half I flicked over to the spurs stream and no word of a lie, evertime I checked a long ball was being pumped up to Crouch.

I thought Delph played well first half so would be happy to see that team again start in the next league game. Manure were outstanding with 10 men, credit to them. We seemed happy with a point from the moment of the own goal really. Shame as I thought we played well first 20 minutes. Carlos MOTM. Outstanding form again. Still the next 6 weeks will decide our league season, we need to get our home form going again. Results went for us tonight so that's good.

How's that away form going Glaston? 8)

Happy with that team. Hopefully it will be Young in a free role supporting Gabby and Milner and Downing playing on their natural wings, Stan holding and Delph keeping our wide players in the game by giving them the ball. Kept it 0-0 for 70 mins and then throw Carew on to win the game if he can be arsed of course.

The key point here is have Spurs won the league on colour tv? :winkold: In fairness to Glaston, he has a point on Lennon. Much improved over the last 18 months and Spurs miss him badly.

West Ham have finished above Spurs quite a few times in the last 10 years.

Be honest Glaston, you must have slagged off Redknapp when he was West Ham manager? Not really bothered about his financial affairs really, Spurs are loaded with cash so it's not as if he's going to leave Spurs in a financial mess.

****. Might as well not turn up now. I think we'll lose by three goals. :winkold:

They love Glaston on red cafe as much as we do here! I thought you said you only posy on message boards of rival teams?

Glaston's right, a 91 page thread for a mediocre team that has only finished twice in the top 6 in the last twenty years. Not good VT. :winkold:

Spurs have drawn four of their last seven league games.

A draw will be fine on wednesday. Our season will result on how many wins we get from Hull, Stoke,Bolton, Wigan, Pompey away and Everton, SHA Burnley, Sunderland, Wolves and Blackburn home. Win 7-8 of those games and we've got a cracking chance of 4th.

I'll confidently say now Spurs will finish no higher than 6th. A few tough home games left and don't win much away from home so can't see them getting more than 65 points. Crouch's finishing was terrible tonght, surprised they didn't make any subs as they could've done with more drive from Jenas in the centre. And Glaston, I'm suprised Krankjaer didn't come on, played quite well since he joined so why's he out of favour at the minute?

He can head the ball away unlike Toure and Lescott. Infact him with any one of them would be a very good combo.

Your assessment doesn't really square with the facts. Spurs have the 5th best defence in the Prem so far in terms of goals conceded and have let in just 3 goals (all in away games) in the last 8 league games. And this is despite playing more attacking football than do many teams. Only one team has scored more than 1 goal at WHL in a league game all season, and that was Manchester Utd. Corluka was bobbins for the SHA goal last week. Decent player but does have his dozzy moments now and again defending. I fear we'll lose this 3-1.
