Yes but who do we have cover for right back if he leaves only tainio and he aint a full back. If Chimbonda is happy playing when needed, i say we keep him. But i think he is motivated by money but he likes to earn his money, the Carling Cup shows he is passionate about playing although he shouldnt of stormed off it shows he wants to play and win.

Worst thing we can do IMO, big danger of that match turning into a 90 minute lap of honour.

We need to knuckle down, forget about the Carling Cup and win the match convincingly.

Save the [beep!] for a pointless league match.

Give the players some credit! Do you honestly think they won't have their eyes 100% on the bigger prize?

Having the parade before that PSV game will, if anything, make them even hungrier to succeed, given how sweet the cup final victory tasted. That's how I see it anyway.

I agree there Johaldo. The players will see the reaction from the fans, and I'm sure that will act as an incentive for them to push on and triumph again.

I agree with the legend that is Big Jono. Should keep the party celebrations for some 'nothing game' in the league. Uefa Cup game needs all attention on that game and not have players thinking about how much craic they had celebrating

Im not with you there guys, making a big deal out of the win at the next game, haveing a parade on matchday or something around the stadium will be a huge distraction to the job at hand.

We have professionals butsome like Lennon, Chimbonda, Hudd etc I see thinking (maybe subconsciously) the job is done and ease off.

Im all for celebrating it but at our next most important game of the season, the first leg against PSV is a bad idea.

And just saw this on BBC today, Sir Ramos has similar ideas

Tottenham manager Juande Ramos has blocked plans for a victory parade, insisting his players must focus on the Premier League and the Uefa Cup before hiring a bus. (The Sun)

Nice editing there Jonothan

This is dragging on a bit isn't it.

Sour Grapes anyone?

Wait a sec, I thought they were just going to do a lap around the pitch showing off the League Cup before the game. What’s all this about a bus?!

The bus parade should be held on a day where there isn't a game - that can'be right.

The streets would be full, roads would be closed off - you can't do that on a matchday.

Better a bit of editing than a warning.

A warning for what exactly?

Changing my name to a gay slur.

Back on topic please.

Certainly merits a warning alright

Not really, which is why i just edited your post.

Any other questions?

Plenty

Dragging on? Its only 3 days after the final. We've had to listen to it from your lot for 3 years, or whenever it was Roman joined.

Poor mikey, hes just annoyed Spurs have already won more than his team will this season.
