I overheard this conversation today, coming out the ground at full time (2 Hull fans, of course). I swear to God this is eactly what I heard:

Guy 1: That Eriksen looks alright don't he. Reckon he'll have a decent chance of being in the World Cup squad.

*easy mistake, I thought - I sometimes forget Denmark aren't at the World Cup*

Guy 2: Yeah he looks good, but he'd be up against Gerrard and Wilshere for that CM role and I don't think he'll get picked over them.

Guy 1 then agrees, and says he may be one for Euro 2016, when Gerrard's out of the team.

There are not enough of these: :paulinhofacepalm: in the world, to sum up that conversation.
 
AVB would have been hung drawn and quartered by some on here if he was playing bentaleb week in week out. Don't get me wrong he is not a bad player but we are challenging for top 4 ffs. Would he get into liverpools , man utd's or everton's team every week. And before anyone says 'yeah but we have injuries ' we have just let a much better player go on loan to Fulham and an experienced French midfielder sitting on our bench and you just know that when sandro and dembele are fit bentaleb will still be playing

Well he created two chances second only to Adebayor and Eriksen. He has more attempted forward passes (36) than square and backward passes combined (33). He completed 58 passes which is 15 more than Walker who had the second most.

He had the highest pass completion on the team at 84% tied with Paulinho who attempted 22 less passes. He also led the team in accurate long balls with 4. Furthermore, he had 4 interceptions and won 2/3 aerial duels and was 2/2 on clearances.

So basically your eyes are crocked mate.

Those stats are meaningless, especially since his actual displaced passes were the most important ones like where he destroyed a few counters or failed to find Ade/Soldado in the final third when they were open. He's more concerned with not making mistakes than doing something particularly outstanding. You can add all the numbers you can find - but I know what a I saw today - and no stat can change that.

I`m not actually Anti-Sherwood. But I am Anti-Levy for basically writing off our season before half way by appointing him. I honestly believe the supporters, especially those who go week in week out, deserved better.
 
If people think that we would've won all these matches if capoue was playing, are being delusional. This is a team game and our team juat isn't playing well and we just aren't attacking fluidly enough.
It puzzles me how we can blame one player for the whole teams lacklustre performance.

Stats do not lie. I have changed my mind. Bentaleb was outstanding today. Lloris was the weak link. The fucker barely made any passes and had zero shots on goal. Lloris out

Romanian press:
Vlad Chiriches receive fine from the ownboard of Tottenham 60.000 Eur,and was punished,remaining out for the game vs Hull City (this is the real reason why he remained out from the squad,he's not injured),after that drink session night in Bucharest,Tim Sherwood defending him,but the Daniel Levy (ownboard) said "Vlad affected the image of the club being drunk (negative image)"

Hull City host Tottenham Hotspur at the KC Stadium on Saturday 1st February (KO 15:00) in the 24th round of the 2013-14 Premier League.

Hull City come into the match in 13th place in the Table on 23 points while Spurs are in 5th place on 43 points. Saturday's match at will be the 33rd time the two teams have met.

Hull City AFC were founded in June 1904, playing their home games at The Boulevard (the home of Hull Rugby club) and were admitted into the Second Division of the Football League for the 1905-06 season and finished in 5th place.

Tottenham Hotspur first played Hull City on 12th January 1907 in the FA Cup 1st Round (today's 3rd Round) when Spurs were in the Southern League and Hull were in the Second Division of the Football League. The match at White Hart Lane ended in a 0-0 draw, as did the replay at Anlaby Road but the match was abandoned after just 10 minutes of extra time. The result stood and a second replay was held at White Hart Lane with Herbert Chapman (later to become a successful manager at Woolwich) scoring the winning goal for Tottenham.

Spurs were admitted into the Football League for season 1908-09 and met Hull City in the Second Division. The Tigers took three out of four points off Spurs but it was Tottenham who won promotion to the First Division.

The two clubs next met in a friendly played in Brussels, Belgium in May 1912 with Hull City winning 2-0.

Spurs lost their Top Flight status when football resumed after WW1 and The games played against Hull on Christmas Day and Boxing Day in 1919 were both won by Tottenham 4-0 at home and 3-1 away. Those four points taken off Hull helped Spurs win promotion again.

The next 10 League meetings all took place in the Second Division over the course of 50 years between 1928 and 1978. Hull City moved to Boothferry Park in 1946 and remained there until 2002. Leeds United played a home Division One game there against Spurs on 25th August 1971 as they were serving a ground closure penalty. Alan Gilzean scored Spurs goal in a 1-1 draw.

The clubs met in the 1953-54 FA Cup with Spurs winning a replayed 5th Round tie 2-0 at the Lane after the first match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Hull were also beaten by Spurs in the 1980-81 FA Cup 4th Round 2-0 at White Hart Lane with Steve Archibald and Garry Brooke getting the goals. Tottenham would go on to win the Centenary Final that season against Manchester City.

The Tigers won promotion to the Top Flight of English Football for the first time in their history for the 2008-09 Premier League season and beat Spurs 1-0 at White Hart Lane in October 2008. The return match at the KC Stadium in February 2009 was won 2-1 by Spurs with goals from Aaron Lennon and Jonathan Woodgate.

A second foreign match was played between Spurs and Hull in Beijing, China in the Final of the Barclays Premier League Asia Trophy in July 2009. Spurs won 3-0 with Robbie Keane scoring a brace and Aaron Lennon getting a goal.

Jermain Defoe scored a hat-trick and Wilson Palacios & Robbie Keane scored in the 5-1 Premier League Spurs win at the KC Stadium in August 2009. The match at the Lane in January 2010 ended in a goalless draw. Hull were relegated at the end of the season.

Midfielder Tom Huddlestone joined Hull City from Spurs during the Summer 2013 transfer window for £5.25 million and fellow midfielder Jake Livermore went on loan for the season. A Roberto Soldado penalty late into the game was enough for Spurs to take all three points at the Lane in the Premier League match played in October 2013.

The clubs met in the 4th Round of the Football League (Capital One) Cup later in October 2013 with the game finishing in a 2-2 draw after extra time.Gylfi Sigurdsson opened the scoring for Spurs after 16 minutes. Brad Friedel scored an own goal after 53 minutes and Paul McShane put Hull ahead in extra time before Harry Kane leveled things up after 108 minutes. Spurs won the penalty shoot-out 8-7

Saturday's game at White Hart Lane will be the 33rd match played between the two clubs and Spurs have the edge with 13 wins to Hull's 9 with 10 matches having been drawn.

Man Utd losing makes today a point GAINED... let's not forget that!
Everton winning makes next week a MUST WIN... let's not forget that either...
US drawing, makes Liverpool's game at West Brom that much more vital... let's remember that!!!!

Not the best result... certainly not the worst... if that ain't Spursy, I dunno what is!

Sandro back will make all the difference... even if Harry Kane does have to lead the line on his own for the rest of the season 'cos Ade & Soldado are out 'till May...

#backtoSpursyagain!
 
Just did a long "not quite knee jerking but getting increasingly pissed off with the hierarchy at the club" post but thought better of it.

Will simply say I don't want to see post match interviews with our boss saying how a player "looked tired at the end" when he spent 90 minutes sitting on his hands and only making a substitution through duress. Oh and after a disappointing draw I also would prefer to avoid a near 2 minute interview on Sky where our "disappointed" boss cracks shit eating half grins every few seconds while making noises about it not being ideal and how "if we weren't going to win we certainly weren't going to lose."

Yeah my cat got run over :sherwoodlol: Really it was my fault, I mean I keep putting his food bowl out in the middle of the road :sherwoodlol: Should have changed it up and put it in a safer spot really :sherwoodlol: Never mind though at least the dog is still alive :sherwoodlol:
