Can't believe this...from what I've heard we had a stackload of chances to make it 3-1 and now we're hanging on for a 2-2 draw.

Finishes 2-2. Well, at least we're still in it, but we need to sort ourselves out.

All over 2-2. In some ways I wish this one had been all tied up today one way or the other but a tremendous showing from the squad players against a much stronger Spurs side on paper. De La Cruz, Federici, Rosenior and Bikey sound like they impressed and in some ways i am pleased.

Belittling the Cup by putting out a second side are we?

I don't think so!

I think the reaction to Dave Kitson's comments is on a par with the muslims reacting to those Muhammed cartoons - way way over the top!

He didn't criticise the Cup - in fact straight after he said he didn't give two s**ts about it, he said it was a fantastic competition, so what's the big deal?

Full credit to Reading - I have a lot of respect for the way they play. Their squad is bigger than people give credit for - remember last season when they rested loads of players and still drew at Old Trafford? Then they had them on the ropes in the replay. Excellent footballing side. They're scared of no one.

This result may of come on the back of the "hairdryer " chat Ramos gave after the first Spurs reading game !

Its ok to try and not conceed goals when you have a first class defence but when its as bad as ours the only way to win is score more goals than you let in! . If Ramos wants to play any other way first sort out our defence ! .

Evil or Very Mad

Next prem game is against Chelsea but we have Arsenal next in the carling cup will the jenas ban count for that game or the Chelsea one?

Zokora


I think Spurs could stop Zokora going .... if were left short of first team players ...

unless we dip into the transfer market we could be left short of top class midfield/defenceive players

todays events may of just ended our season with so many top players missing we are going to struggle to get any sort of result against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Ramos may have to give notice to some players who are clearly not giving their best for the club and we maybe looking at a West Ham type clearout at the end of the season .

I have to ask what on earth caused hudderstone to get sent off after just 2 minutes on the pitch?

I hope Ramos kept him behind for extra training tonight as punnishment !

Yea Tom Hundredstone I think might just have blown his last chance with Ramos, ship him off to Derby or something.

Chelsea will be delayed now we have to replay this match I think, which is good cos then it will be after Essien heads off to the ANC.

hudds sending off ... WTF!

If he was sent off for violent conduct why do we not see more players sent off for squareing up ?


Question

However harsh, it is common knowledge in the game these days that any clear movement of the head into an opponents face will be treated as an act of serious aggression, particularly as he did it in full view of the Ref and Linesman.

while it looked to me on motd that his head movement could of been seen as a headbutt i think it was simply hudds pushing his face into the face of the other player ,being taller his head went down in a movement that looked very much like a headbutt....

accepting maybe it was an intentional headbutt then he should of been sent off .... but why do other players escape the same punnishment? ... Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Anyway it was a stupid thing to do .... even when prevoked .

back to the result ....

If Reading idea was to get knocked out of the cup that idea seems to of backfired lol

I think it would be a good idea now for Spurs to play some our players who are fringe players in our squad in the replay .

We might find some sqaud players who have been over looked who are willing to give it their all .
