I've never seen him do anything worthy of Prem status. He must have something about him, Harry is no mug and he made him captain today, I've just never seen it. He was dire at Forest too.

Dawson aint all bad but i do agree he has his donkey like moments
thought he cut it out but his last two games have been poor

i dont think he should start for a team aiming for top 4 tho
should only be used as backup... or in cup games vs lower league sides (i know)

anyway as a spurs fan im disappointed we drew in the last few seconds but then again im also happy as i enjoyed the game a lot and hope the replay is just as good

better be televised
 
So. I'm going to bed now, just so you know it's 7:06. I hope one of you call me before 1:15 for the Arsenal game. I expect a call. What's that? You don't have my number? As if I'd give to you bunch of crazies, within 1 day I'd be getting calls from the resident spurs supporters. Unlucky Spurs, an extra game. Aston Villa for 4th place!

Its very selfish to have a kick off at 1:30pm. I wont get to go to bed before 9am and have to get up at 1.30pm to watch the game.

I wonder if someone can delay it for me for a few more hours so I can get some more sleep? :D

and in that game Nani was one of the main causes of your downfall throughout the whole game - even before his juggling tricks

I really dont like the guy, he can play (very) well in the odd game but if the team need to rely on him to play well -ie needing all 11 against a decent team he completely disappears and is just dreadful

He seems to have about 2 - 3 decent games a season, and I think Utd would be lucky to get £5m back from the £17m investment currently, he is woeful when it all balances out
 
The kids vs Stoke! This ought to be interesting.

It's almost like we've hit form in the league at the wrong time. Even before ManU and Liverpool went out I thought the FA Cup was our best chance for silverware this season, but now, in a very winnable game, we're having to understandably rest a lot of first teamers. I can see Stoke roughing the understudies up pretty badly, so I just hope they can keep themselves together.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving our league challenge, and it's an open division this season, but I'm just still wary of our consistency. The league will need us to be on top of our game for another sixteen matches, whilst we only need to win five games to get the cup, and players tend to be less blasé about knockout games.

Wilshere to possibly start, along with Coquelin at RB. Big fat Sol's gone and injured himself before the only bloody reason we brought him in, so god knows who will play at CB. The ghosts of Christmas Past and Phillippe Senderos maybe?

Having seen the highlights on sky this morning, have to say Rooney's 4 goals were all, unimpressive, poor keeping and defending for all, all easy as pie. Yes its nice he finished them but with that defence gifting him the chances most strikers would have got an easy hattrick and many would also have scored 4.

Headed goal when the two defenders just ignored him jog slowly ahead of them, neither made the slightest attempt to get in front of him, though in fairness, Nani did have the ball so they were probably lulled into a false sense of security. First goal keeper knocking it right down to him for a tap in, 2nd, really should have been knocked out for fair play or the idiot ref stopping it for a head knock, either way, pretty easy goal stepping into the left back whole when the defence didn't readjust at all and tried to play offside, with a guy lying 3yards out from goal.

Hull really are pathetically bad, if this seasons taught us anything at all, its not to remotely judge title credentials by a team demolishing anyone in the bottom 8..... because Liverpool and Spurs have crushed some of those low teams.

You will notice, ALL terrible sides. ;) and the mighty Henry of the Arsenal Football Club PLC only managed it once, against a terrible side.

Nice to see liverpool in there as a couple of times on the receiving end, although they are in there the most for having players that have scored 4.
