Man Utd vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Jan 24, Pre/During/Post Match thread

[vasilli07]

Official team news...

Players out:
1) King
2) Jenas
3) Gomes
4) Corluka
5) Lennon
6) O'Hara
7) Bent
8) Woodgate

In doubt:
1) Dawson
2) Modric

So who will be in our 'weakest' side? :rolleyes: Although it's our 'weakest' side, it's good to see how some of our players(beside the normal starters) perform, like GDS, Taarabt and Dervite.

My probable 'weakest' XI

------------Alnwick---------
Gunter--Rocha--Dervite--BAE
Taarabt--Hudds--Zokora--Bale
---------------GDS----------
---------------Pavy----------

Subs: Ranieri, Gilberto, Parrett, Bentley, Bostock, Obika, Defoe

I definately want to see the following people tomorrow:

Taraabt, GDS, and Bostock.

[juanca]

This is the only game my TV "service provider" is showing tomorrow.

Sunday i gotta wake up and hope i find a stream for our match.

[electrickeeper]

I imagine forcing a replay would put me over the moon.

Depends on how many pints I have during the match.

Fook it, just take it in the 1st match.

Spurs 2 (Taarabt, GDS)
Man Yoo 1 (Nani)

I don't want a replay. We don't need the fixture congestion to be clogged up any further.

I agree fully, I want it to be over with one way or the other tomorrow. I guess it's a morale thing.*



*and an alcohol thing :o

[thfcnyc]

I expect Two Saints to play. If not, to hell with 'Arry! :p


Oh, and can we get Cesar in the net instead of Alnwick? The kid still needs a whole lotta first time experience at another tier of the game.

In a word, no (http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=612218&sec=transfers&cc=5901).

[jumhed]

The lads are going into this one pre-lubed.

the cockney rogue has denied saying he'll field his weakest side. he said he was misinterpreted.

Instead, he's said that circumstances dictate that we'll have a weakened team out.

I'd love GDs to play and be amazing. That'd show 'em!

[The Double]

and Bostock.

He's in Mexico.

1636: Team news: A bit of call my bluff from Sir Alex Ferguson and Harry Redknapp ahead of the Man Utd-Spurs FA Cup tie was it? Both hinted at reserve teams, but while Manchester United field nine full internationals, Spurs make just three changes from the side that limped past Burnley in the League Cup on Wednesday. Fabio da Silva makes his United debut, while Vedran Corluka, Gareth Bale and Roman Pavlyuchenko replace Jonathan Woodgate, Jamie O'Hara and Jermain Defoe for Tottenham.

[The Double]

Both Giovani and Taarabt aren't on the field. What shit.

'Arry better hope nobody picks up a knock.

[jumhed]

First XI as on Tottenham's homepage;


Alnwick, Gunter, Assou-Ekotto, Corluka, Dawson, Bentley, Huddlestone, Zokora, Bale, Modric, Pavlyuchenko.

Subs: Gomes, Gilberto, Giovani, Taarabt, Defoe, Rocha, Dervite.




BORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIINNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

[braulio]

so no Dos Santos?? What are the chances Harry will bring him in as a sub??

[vasilli07]

If we are losing, then we have a chance of seeing him on the field...

[jumhed]

I don't think he's played under Harry yet. dunno. He's one of 7 subs.

not trying to spam or anything, but just wanted to let everyone know that there is a live chat room/blog for this game right now at theorangecard.blogspot.com

Do you remember when the only player who seemed to be making an effort under GHodd was Rohan Ricketts (and Taricco, but that was cos he was a mental)? And whenever GHodd didn't pick him, the Spurs fans would vote him MOTM on all the websites. I think we should do the same for GDS.


Vote for Johnny Two-Saints as MOTM, even if he doesn't play!

[Phillyspur]

Bah. I was quite looking forward to see some new faces.

We want GDS!
