Wilson and Luka on bench with a bunch of kids. Great window, Harry.

 

Re: Arry's Orse storms to win

if i hated spurs or was a leeds fan, i would take those odds.

 

I'm just on text updates. Sounds like several chances squandered already.

 

yeah, we had one real early, if you want to watch, i posted a stream on the top of the page.

 

no call on a possible red-card takedown of Defoe on the edge of the box.

(list of streams: http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=63713&part=sports)

37''
David Bentley with a nice turn and run to the touchline, feeds Defoe back around the penalty spot, JD has a bad first touch, but no one closes him down and he manages to half-shank a volley into the top far corner. Spurs 1-Leeds 0
39''
Leeds tests Gomes' far post off a 40m freekick.

 

Cheers, but I can't watch in the office.

 

Terrible play after the goal. Looked like the flag should have gone up, but Leeds had so much pressure on that I knew a goal was coming at the end of the half. Shouldn't have to rely on the flag.

 

You have got to be fecking kidding me. This is getting pathetic.

 

45'
Major lapse by Tottenham, headed clearance knocked back in to Jermaine Beckford (who was offsides), he pushes it far post and starts celebrating even before the Beccio finishes the sitter.
Tottenham 1-Leeds 1

Another example of the Spurs innovative strategy of playing 40-minute halves.

 

this ref is a joke. should be 1-0 with Leeds on 10 men. clear red card and clear offsides missed.

 

Beckford wasn't off...2 others were, but it was a good goal, not offside.

 

It's like it does not matter what we do, how many chances we waste, how many red cards they should have got, how many offsides are not given, the FA Cup gods just want Leeds through.

 

more crap defending

 

I wish we could sub off both Crouch and Defoe.

 

52'' Spurs manage to miss 3 consecutive chances in less than 10 seconds, a minute after Defoe cant get a shot on target from the top of the box after being given space to meander across the edge of the 18.

 

2nd half. Come on Spurs, make your quality pay! Finish the job, now!!

 

60th minute
Defoe through on goal with a player (Krancjar?) in support, called back wrongly for offsides.

 

Ref's an outright homer.

 

Seems like the offside calls or non-calls have been wrong whatever way they go. Spurs are certainly playing much better this half. Sadly, I'll worry if they score.

And there goes a goal taken away. Ugh.

 

I think the only question remaining is how much this ref has been paid.

 

On a positive note, it's great to see that David Bentley is a good player.

 

Yesssss!!!

 

73' GOAL SPURS
Bentley through on right (as he's been all evening) with low cross to Defoe for the goal.

 

94'' Grella earns a freekick after a nice first touch half-rainbow, LUFC brings whole team up for freekick from half-line, clearance falls to Defoe at the center circle who runs the field and around the keepers left to complete his hattrick. It's 19 on the season for JD in all competitions, and we're on to Bolton.

FT: Leeds 1 - Spurs/Defoe 3

 

JD makes it safe. Thank you!

Sounded like a cracking cup tie.
