Tottenham vs Birmingham City 2/12 pre/post match talk

[Colm]

Need another win to try and clime ourselves up the table, Birmingham have the new manager factor which always helps teams, but we gotta win.

[The Double]

The real story here is that I can't remember the last time we played on a Saturday.

[jrob_blue]

I was thinking the same thing... why so many Sunday games this term?

hey I'm not complaining for sun games, means we get to see them more before less games on sun FSC or Sentana will have to show us right :)

We are at home and we are doing "pretty well"

I say we win 2-1 tomorrow Goals by Keane and Berbs. I'll up at 11 to watch the game on FSC!

So Jenas and Kaboul are questionable, I read somewhere, though I don't remember where, that A-E is fit--is that true? Regardless, our back line still looks a bit fragile and Chimo in the center is scary. I think that Berbs and Keano will be up front, with Hudds and Zorks in the center (if Jenas isn't fit). I think that we'll win, we have reason to be optimistic--history would seem to be on our side and Birmingham concede almost as many goals as we do. We've also got some momentum, coming off a performance like last week's will surely increase our confidence. COYS!

Regardless, COYS!!!

3-0
Bent, Malbranque, Berbatov

[chanman83]

Is Ramos onto something here?

* 01 Robinson
* 02 Chimbonda
* 20 Dawson
* 05 Kaboul
* 16 Bale
* 25 Lennon
* 04 Zokora
* 15 Malbranque
* 10 Keane
* 09 Berbatov
* 23 Bent

Looks like exactly the same lineup when we made our 2nd half comeback but Kaboul is back next to dawson. He just needs to calm down and do his job and he'll be fine.

[ngower]

Very light penalty conceded by Kaboul, despite controlling the game for the first 25 minutes, we're down 1-0.

The earlier chances by Keano and Berbatov should have been converted, can't complain about bad calls if we're not gonna do the work ourselves.

[greatbluekingly]

Kaboul to the bench, please....:(

[ngower]

Huddlestone or Lee for Kaboul, switching to a 3-5-2 is how I'd go about the second half, very disappointing first half. We played great, have nothing to show for it.

[ngower]

Another s*it call by the ref, this time it's in favor of Spurs:D

[chanman83]

YES!!! KEANE finishes the PK!!!
1-1

[chanman83]

Another s*it call by the ref, this time it's in favor of Spurs:D

dunno bro that was more of a pk than what kaboul did :p

[ngower]

I love the man to my left:)

[chanman83]

freaking a hell of a pass from the big teddy bear huddlestone and keane finishes... MONEY!!!

2-1 spurs!

[AnyLuckForEngland?]

Both penalty decisions were dubious.

It should be 1-0 Tottenham right now.

Tottenham is dominating though.

[Hauler]

A fellow San Diego person. I see a pattern. Hudds comes in at half this game and the aalborg game and we go up. He has played extremely well I think he should start. What a pass on the second goal. Class..
