Well this is great. Stuck on a13 because a406 has been closed. Looks like no semi final for me :-/

I'm more or less happy with that. Would have liked the controlled feistiness of Soldado. I'm glad Lloris is rested, and surprised to see Lennon on the bench.

Well that is embarrasing. Giving Ade the captains arm band is actually disgusting. The squad and the fans dont like him. But this is on Poch for making the clown vice captain. Horrific. Shocking and may very well back fire.

The squad don't like him? Well some of them obviously like him enough to vote him as vice-captain (also the obvious reason why he has the armband this evening).

Oh and the fans don't like him? A few idiots booing their own player doesn't constitute 'the fans'.

probably poch's way of telling ade 'i have faith in you'. can't agree with the decision though.

I think it's clear that poch still rates
Adebayor and that his absence was not due to them falling out. It also shows he rates him more than soldado. I guess as we've all said of
He fires again then we will be ok.
Next this we will see Kaboul back at first choice Cb

Adebayor and Townsend to run riot this evening.

Not often I say that.

But it is a decent set of players with some who really need to prove their worth for a starting 11 spot in the league, such as Ade, Dier, Townsend, Davies and Stambouli and then those like Kane and Mason who are just motivated to play for Spurs. Should be going out with the right attitude at least.

An absolute disgrace adebayor captains our great club tonight. Sickening

Wind your neck in. What has he done for it to be "sickening". He plays for spurs so get behind him. Bet no one will moan if be scores a hat trick.

Team fully as expected but two points:

- Vorm instead of Lloris wtf?

- Ade captain again? Come on...
Vorm/Lloris is how I would have done it.
When it comes to Ade being captain, well, that really goes without saying. He is, for now, 1 of the 3 captain/vicecaptains and he is the only one of those 3 on the pitch. It's purely logical and emotionless, as it should be.

I'm with you on that one buddy...I was born in 1990 also...we haven't had much in the way of success, I'm still mentally scarred from losing to them lot down the road/across the water at old Trafford in the semi final of the FA cup years ago...I suppose stuffing them 5-1 en route to our last cup should have made up for it...COYS big result tonight and we can start looking forward to Wembley..

I'm utterly gobsmacked. Ade could score 60000 goals tonight but making him Captain when he's hardly played is the most bizarre and stupid decision i've seen at spurs in my 30 odd year support.

I'm lost for words.

It is very odd.

I don't really like the Ade captain thing but it's probably a clever move by Poch to put the onus on him to turn up and do the business which he will probably do in such circumstances.

We know he can play.

He was appointed vice captain.

He was named vice captain BEFORE the season. BEFORE he pissed them all off and had a spat with Kane.

Most of the fans definitely dont like him. He has a horrible attitude, rarely tries, and is the definition of a mercenary.
