great win

I don't know if the line ups have been posted yet in full - but these are they (official site)

First half: Alnwick, Gunter, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson, Chimbonda, Lennon, Jenas, Taarabt, Bostock, Keane, Bent.

Second half: Jansson, Hutton, Townsend, Tainio, Archibald-Henville, Malbranque, O'Hara, Huddlestone, dos Santos, Berbatov, Pekhart.

So - did Gunter play CB?

TT - LB? Hudd CB?

It's been remarked elsewhere about the absence of King Bale and Woodgate -

I won't start worrying about injuries yet - but I might soon -

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

I don't think we can take an awful lot from this in terms of formations or team selections. Gio played on the left, but will he play there regularly? Who knows?

Not worried at all that Bale, King and Woody didn't play.

nicey nice!!

 

[Flatters]

I really wanna see the goals. I expect everyone is desperate to see Lennon's header. :lol:

 

[BOLT]

The Spurs must now for another match wait,
and I know whyyyy,
because we got eight! Because we got eight, because we got eight! lalalala

:duh:

 

[nldnboi]

I really wanna see the goals. I expect everyone is desperate to see Lennon's header. :lol:

I would pay to see that one :lol:

 

[BOLT]

Wonder how low a cross would have to be before Lennon would need to dive....

I don't care how low a cross is, I don't want to see any Tottenham players cheating nomatter the circumstances. :snooty:

 

[glennyhoddle]

the talk has been about Dos Santos and Perkhart's first senior goals for the club but I'm hoping i get to find out how Bostock did and if he was worth the 'packet of crisps' we paid Simon Jordan!!

 

[chivers!]

I really wanna see the goals. I expect everyone is desperate to see Lennon's header. :lol:

Might be like Barmby's goal against Liverpool - where he didn't even have to jump.

Might be like Barmby's goal against Liverpool - where he didn't even have to jump.

or may be he saw himself alone off the line and headed the ball when it was exactly on the ground...

 

[paulspursman]

best thing out of this match imo was that the young players made an impact - Bostock set up one, Townsend set up one and Pekhart scoring 2

of course also Gio getting of to a good start

 

[Mullers]

Nick Barmby scored one of the best headed goals I've ever seen against Wimbledon in the FA cup from inside the D.

was too young when Barmby was here, but i could say Ziege against Man Utd (3-5) was one of the best headed goals which i can remember, may be Iversen or Teddy have too but i can't remember now.

the most important one Woody :wink:

 

[simyid]

berba's headed double against the spammers was pretty gd

Des Walkers was probably the most important header for us in the last, well forever (it could have even saved our very existance)

For anyone that hasn't seen them, here are the highlights:

thanks for that YB (&HH as someone has said perhaps the last footage of x & y in a spurs shirt

BTW Lennon's was a perfectly good routine style header (not routine for him obviously) met a ball with pace and in it flew

yep - what a great great day that was - when once again Spurs football triumphed over anti-football - it was also my birthday and I was buying drinks all round - ok there wasn't many in the pub - but it's still unheard of for me I can tell you

one of our great Cup victories - often not given the credit it deserved

as for headers - Gilly's brilliant flick header v Man U in the 2-2 classic about 71 and another one in the 2-2 uber classic in the mud at Upton Park in 68 (one of the all-time great Spurs games)

- Chivers amazing one in the UEFA final 72 - and while Mullers diving header in the return was not in the same class it was pretty good and clinched the Cup for us

a birilliant Jones diving header v Fulham in the double season -Terry Dyson's header to seal the deal v Leicester and win the double

An absolute classic Martin Peters blind side header to win the points at Lecister about 71 -

and a more typical one as part of his four at OT in our famous drubbing of them

I was even there to see Greaves score a classic header - a gilly style flick v Derby in about 69 (when Derby were one the best teams in the country and beating them really meant something - may have been the season they did us 5-0 up there - which I was also present at )

of course Sir Les and Teddy two of the greatest ever headers of the ball, have given us a few - while Jurgen's entry to English football at Hillsbro - what a moment and the famous celebration .. so many so many over the years
