Hull City Vs Tottenham Hotspur: Match thread

[Wsussexspur]

Very very happy at the moment. Part from doggy 10 minute spell in first half which coincided with Gomes going off we dominated that game. Defoe was on fire and Keane had an outstanding game! Cant see us selling him after that performance now. Certainly put those doubters (including me!) that they cant play together in there place. Palacios took his goal well hopefully this will give him confidence to go on and score some more. Thought Hutton also had very good game.

Only negative was I thought Corluka looked bit doggy at centre back seemed to switch of on couple of occasions in first half. But was much better in second! Also Gomes injury didnt look good. Hope its not too serious. Trying not to get too carried away as Hull were seriously poor. Just heard on Radio something like they have only got 16 points out of last possible 96!

2220: Hull City boss Phil Brown after his side's 5-1 home defeat by Tottenham: "I don't think, hand on heart, 5-1 flattered Tottenham tonight - they were fabulous. It's difficult to say to our boys to go out there and do what Spurs do because the gulf in class looks alarming. Luckily, though, we don't have to play Tottenham every week and next up we have Bolton, where we'll need to dig in and respond. The fact is, though, that anyone who played Spurs tonight will have got a hiding, I think."

Fair play to him, nice to see a manager admit they were second best unlike a certain Liverpool manager.

its big of Phil Brown to say that tbh, wenger would have said they were unlucky not to have won

Agree. Most managers. like Hughes and Big Sam for instance, would have made excuses and said that the socreline flattered us.

Worthy of a signature I reckon

Any news on Gomes?

Wenger would have said he didnt see it

we play so much more direct now

I'm so nervous now, I can be dramatic but failure after being 2-0 up would give me a familiar sense of foreboding, will we never be able to close games out when 2 goals to the good?

Ok, we'd just conceded and it was getting a bit hairy. I do however apologise for doubting the boys, with hindsight I was very dramatic.

How wonderful is it to have an opposing manager say that?Fair does the heart good.
As the others said, credit to Brown for saying that. There are many who wouldn't have given us the credit we deserve.

I agree, Brown may have an oversized ego but he is generally class when giving credit. Rafa would've complained about the refs, Wenger would have complained about how old our team was in comparison.

...and both would have complained about the ten penalties they should have had!

I'm going to bed now, but all I have to say is :dance:

COME ON YOU SPURS!

 

[chrissivad]

Im sure Joe Jordan said 'take him off now' (might have been something before it) after Keanes goal.

And Defoe scoring away from home

Strange day.... everyone is giving us praise :grin:

Just back from what felt like an absolute sauna of a stadium.

Minuses - Keano's touch, Corluka's touch, Gomes' punch just before he left the pitch.
Pluses - Everything else.
