Tottenham Hotspur vs Sunderland (away) 29/12/2012

[Mose]

Today I've come to the conclusion that with just 4.8% projected growth, 3 full fledged civil wars, and 16 landlocked countries, I won't be investing in Africa.

Cool Adboards though.

Actually, as a relic from the railways, you always go up to London and down to anywhere else in the country, no matter where it's located, as the Up Line was always to London and the Down Line was always away from London.

Not many people know this.

Ade is in quite a funk in front of goal, but honestly he's also been terribly, terribly unlucky.
Still, I think his movement off the ball and contribution to possession is excellent.

edit: Mignolet had an excellent, excellent game. Ade was awfully unlucky not to score on that chance late on in the game.

If there was ever a game for Bale to be suspended it was Reading.

Clear as day that's a foul

Of course it's a fucking foul. I don't give a shite if he falls the right way, that's not the law of the game. Doesn't mention falling, just fouling.

With the greatest of respect to anyone that disagrees with this being a foul, you must be blind, retarded or a fucking Gooner.

That's right bitches. My first TFC match thread and I'm going for a fixture where we've often struggled coz I've got balls the size of dean whiteheads massive Mong face.

They just beat man city so will be confident. Perhaps a little too confident? We need to be strong and determined And I can see us nicking a couple of fast breakaway goals on the counter.

2-1 Spurs.

'ave it!

First match thread. We won and I predicted the score
Thank you and goodnight

When was the last time we fielded an all English back four?

Just under 12 hours ago :avblol:

Lets give Bale a run at 2nd striker and Siggy a start on the Left

Do you not remember Bale in his "2nd striker" role last season? was so much less ineffective than when he played directly on the left. That's why we sung "he plays on the left" to him.

Nice pic.........toolbag

Oh look, a cunt.

 

[Ksaw92]

What is with all the bitching & whining on this forum these days?!

MAN UP AND LOL

:bae:

 

[Pyro_era]

another note; dempsey looked like he really clicked with adebayor when he came on

 

[SadlerTHFC]

Like to see Sandro rested for the Reading game, with Parker to replace him.

 

[Cripps14]

I'm going to go for a 2-1 And a Lennon goal, we'll see. On my way up now, COYS

 

[SPURSallday]

Yeah yeah yeah they beat City and all that, but let's not pull focus from the central issue- they are a shite team at the moment with a laughable excuse for a defence and no outlet that doesn't bear the name of 'Steven Fletcher', and on their form throughout most of 2012 they should be prime relegation candidates.

They also are without one of the premier players this season in our own Danny Rose.

You decide.

From where I'm standing that's a foul.

Maybe it shouldn't be, but that's modern football. Referees need to be consistent, making decisions based off of reputation is unprofessional. We should appeal the last three bookings if possible.

Anywhere else on the pitch and its a free-kick.

 

[Hegarz]

Would really like to see :gylfi: start against Reading, I think he's earned a chance to start.

 

[Stanners]

Just home from the game, long drive but well worth it.

Atmosphere 2nd half was great, my first game this season so can't really comment too much on comparisons. AVB's Blue and White Army seemed to last for an age at one point. Loved it. I love Steffan Freund before he walked down the tunnel was also a good moment.

As to the performance, Ade was poor IMO, surprised he stayed in for 90. Agree with those who are saying Duece was well up for it. As usual we should have sewn up the result and made it a more comfortable end to the match, but can't complain with the 3 points.

Didn't realise how good that Lennon goal was, great turn of pace!

The finish was the best part, took it like a proper striker (not one of our strikers, but a clinical striker )

 

[ChrisOTDH]

Still don't understand how Lennon beat the defender to the ball for the goal. Ridiculous.
