Tottenham Vs Blackpool: Match Thread

[hughy]

Harry should get on the phone to Mourinho and get Real to sign Bale for £50m in the next 20 minutes. Because they're an hour behind us, he hasn't broken his ankle there yet.

Ohh, it doesn't work like that?!

 

[cozzo]

People always blame the keeper, Gomes didnt touch the dude. But because people hate Gomes they don't wanna know. Its always his fault.

 

[Teegart]

what are you talking about? we were pilling them on from the start of second half to the adam disgracful tackle and bale's injury when the ref started his one man show

After the tackle, Harry decided to change from a 451 with VDV off the striker that was working very well and creating chances. Instead he chose to go back to the unbalanced, disjointed 442 with VDV playing pretty much out of position.

Why on earth he didn't keep the same shape and put Niko on in place of Bale?

 

[KitKat]

That was horrific, i can't believe how much we struggled to score one goal against blackpool.

I do not think he made any significant contact. With my most objective head on possible it looked like a dive.

Now when they hacked Bale off the pitch, however, clearly my eyes deceived me - for the Adams leg breaker, apparently, it wasn't even a foul:bs:

And before I get into another argument with talkshow, I am not using this as an excuse, we should have been good enough to beat Blackburn, anyway, and don't deserve CL if we can't beat relegation candidate teams - which we have failed to do all season:bang:

 

[kishman]

Despite Blackpool's cheating and the clueless stupid ref, that was a load of shit from us. Why did it takes until the 85th minute to finally show some proper urgency. I am so pissed off, we were given a lifeline today by City losing and we once again failed to capitalise.

On the replay I saw it did seem that Gomes 'slapped' the guy on the shin with his left hand, so I think the 2nd Pen was a fair award.

Thank God people are beginning to see sense!

Even if we won today, and by some stroke of fortune eventually qualified for the CL, I'd still want that cretin and arrogant sod Redknapp out.

His woeful managerial and tactical abilities have been disguised by an excellent squad and group of players who have performed brilliantly at times (and had a good CUP run) - in spite of Redknapp, not because of him!

I've been ridiculed and given negative after negative approval rating here voicing my views, all because I state truthfully that this Cretin has ONE honour to his name, and has done nothing apart from that one Honour of note or worthiness to be a Manager of the Club of Spurs status and grandeur.

He also has stated that he wants the England post - I wish he doesn't get that as he'd fuck up England beyond all recognition and FAIL miserably at that.

Redknapp out NOW so we can at least get a quality Manager in who can have pre season to sort things out and then go for the Big Five next season.

I'm so vexed, but I'm glad I'm not alone and that people have at last had enough of Redknapp.

Between them, Blackpool, West Ham, West Brom and Wigan have lost 63 games and conceded 260 goals.

We've played 8 games against them, picked up 5 points and scored 5 goals.

That is an absolute fucking disgrace and we don't deserve to be in the Champion's League. Some major changes need to occur this summer in terms of playing personnel and Daniel Levy needs to be asking Harry Redknapp some very serious questions.

How can a manager who's defining managerial attributes are his man management, motivational skills and ability to get the best out of players not manage to motivate his team to go out against a poor team all guns blazing? Especially after seeing Man City lose just minutes earlier?

Why are Defoe and Pavlyuchenko starting together up front?
Why is our attacking central midfielder, Van der Vaart, playing on the right?
Why is our centre back playing at right back when our right back is sitting on the bench?
Why is Danny Rose being pushed into left back to keep Bale on the wing despite the fact that Bale hasn't had a good game on the wing in months?
Why is Niko Kranjcar, a genuine goal threat, being brought on in injury time?
Why do our defenders insist on lobbing long balls up to Crouch when he'd struggle to win an aerial battle against a corpse?
Why do our attacking players seem determined to fire shots off when an opposing defender is standing six inches away from them?
Why is Sandro the only player who seems to genuinely give 100% in these last few months?

Absolutely, i think this is the same referee that we had against arsenal in the CC where he gave 2 pens then with his other strange decisions, so he was always going to find a way to lend a helping hand.

 

[keenu]

ha we'll prob beat city!

They can afford to lose and still qualify for the Champions league

 

[double0]

We missed Huddlestone.

 

[Dr Know]

Did Harry say anything?

 

[Rout-Ledge]

I thought we were poor, but we were also screwed by the cheating of Blackpool and that ref.

Neither pen was a pen. Adam should've been off the pitch. They got away with ridiculous time-wasting. They dived like nobodies business. And some of the tackles they put in should've been carded and weren't.

We even had a great advantage at one point and he called play back for a free-kick.

We didn't have good luck today, but there is no excuse for not beating Blackpool at home. I don't care how bad the ref was. Whatever the reason, the players just aren't motivated to win at the moment. They haven't been for months.

sums it up. poor management, the team looked so badly shaped today it was almost sad, especially to see the waste of position on vdv on the right, what a poor option, rose in defence? ah i could go on, its broken right now and i am looking forward to seeing it being fixed, this team qualified for the fucking champions league for fucks fucking sake.

Yep, ref was shocking again. I don't think either of those penalties should've been awarded. The first one should've been given as a foul on Dawson. And if the free kick was awarded, the chain of events that led to the second penalty wouldn't have occurred so the debate about whether Gomes made contact or not wouldn't even be there.

I make that two penalties and two goals awarded against us in the last two games that shouldn't have stood. The officials managed to see Defoe stray a foot offside for his first goal though.

 

[nidge]

9 points from 9 games this AC Milan away.

That is relegation form over a season.

There isn't another manager other than Harry that would have that poor form and not have the media call for him to be sacked.

Imagine if City were in this kind of form. There would be no question about it, Mancini would be gone.

You could argue the money factor, not without some good reason, but we were better than them last season. We should have improved this season. Yet we've become demonstrably, inarguably worse.

a foot? a size 2 maybe.

Could not agree more, wtf is Harry's problem with Krancjar?? He scores to superb game winning goals against Bolton and Sunderland and then doesn't get a look in. He's actually taking the piss with the guy!!
