Spurs Vs England

[Phate]

Whilst watching the terrible England match i couldn't help but draw comparisons with ourselves....

Both teams vastly underachieving

We both have a keeper crisis

We wear all white

We bring on Defoe and Bent to try and save a game

We've changed manager

Makeshift defence

No natural left sided midfielder

 

[jol's_chef]

I should think spurs have bags more ability and cohesion than england!

 

[joey55]

Unrealistic expectation.

 

[RussellYid]

Unrealistic expectation.

What were your expectations for Spurs at the beginning of the season and England at the beginning of the qualifying stages?

 

[The Apprentice]

When England got to 2-2, how the team reacted did remind me of Spurs. They decided to give away the intiative and sit back. Trying unsuccessfully to stroke it around at the back, sitting deeper and deeper. We do it all the time when we have a narrow lead. Resorting to booming it forward instead of keeping hold of it.

 

[Flatters]

Unrealistic expectation.

Qualification for England wasn't an unrealistic expectation.

 

[thfcsuperyid]

ye watching england last night the kit looked the same as ours.​

Qualification for England wasn't an unrealistic expectation.

True, but in general we expect too much. Every WC or Euro Championships our media and fans seem to think we will go close, but we never really do. Away from home we've made one semi final in 70+ years. We have no reason to think we are any good, yet we always do. In my life time other than the Germany 5-1 win and Holland 4-1 win, I don't think England have ever played like a truely top side and I must have seen us play over 100 times.

Qualification for England wasn't an unrealistic expectation.

Top half for Spurs wasn't an unrealistic expectation.

 

[Flatters]

Top half for Spurs wasn't an unrealistic expectation.

You don't think we're gonna finish in the top half this season? :lol:

I don't think England fans expect too much of England at all. The same can't be said for Tottenham though.

We both have a keeper crisis Robbo will be back to his best.

We wear all white Yes, whoopie do!

We bring on Defoe and Bent to try and save a game Yeah.

We've changed manager England had a shite manager to start with.

Makeshift defence Englands defence of Terry/Rio will be back next campain and Ledley better be back soon or im going to fucking kill someone.

No natural left sided midfielder Joe Cole? Still awesome on the left, Gareth Bale? pfft.

[Yid-ol]

got to say i agree with this

one more that i would add is that england dont play as a team, something we probably were guilty of for a fair crack of games

 

[TrueYid]

Nob-head bosses? Nah Levy aint that bad

 

[TrueYid]

Oh and Wembley (used to be) our second home?

So true so true.. the only difference is they didn't score at the death!

 

[Has1978]

- can´t hold onto leads
- enjoy sitting back deeper and deeper as they face decent opposition

 

[nicdic]

Spurs under Jol, yes.

Curiously Stevie Gerrard claimed that the problems was that we were too adventurous after drawing level, and should have sat back and defended our lead...

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

Spurs under Jol, yes.

:clap:

Thankyou. I was going to say in recent weeks we haven't shown any of those signs at all (except for the white kit)
