Game of 2 halves

Oh how sweet to use that ole chestnut ! 1st half Fulham were magnificent. Took us on and beat us at our own game. Credit it to 'em. Kranky was off is usual high standards but most of that was down to Fulham and why did Zamora never play like that in a Spurs shirt ? 2nd half and 'arry makes 2 brave & inspired subs. Bentley immeadiate impact. The guy is slowly winning me over and he also seems a lot less egotistical and more humble these days. Thudd just cemented the midfield and showed us what we miss when he isn't on the pitch with Sgt Wilson. Pavy for Corluka was as brave as it gets and didn't it just work ? What a turn around and what a fine team performance. Well done my Spurs & well done 'arry . . . . . .
(also Villa drawing & Citeh losing, but I suppose that's another thread ! But it will make me sink a Stella or 2 more this evening. COYS . . . . .)

I HAV NT FELT SO HAPPY SINCE THE KIDS WERE BORN,, OR WAS IT WHEN THEY LEFT?/ LOL, GOD OH TO BE A SPURS FAN, TRYING NOT TO GET TO CARRIED AWAY, JUST NICE TO GO INTO WORK THIS LAST YEAR,, COYS

You're spot on with your choice of thread title,Vis ...

I thought first half we were back to our ways of January , looking to much for a Crouch flick on and when we did try to play , our passing was off with , Niko , Benny and Wilson being the worst culprits...Fulham meanwhile were playing some very good football and more than deserved their lead .....


2nd half has to be said, a massive well done to Harry for making those immediate two substitutions ..Hudd for Ekkoto I was hoping would happen, with Bale switching to left-back, we needed the Hudd, as our midfield was at times being overun and as Ive said we had not been moving the ball around very well .. Bentley for Kranjcar I didnt see coming but Harry did right , it was the right thing to do considering Niko was having an off night ....

We got the goal then Corluka gets injured ....now this for me was Harry's best substitution of the season .....Pav on for Charlie ! Well done 'Arry , again was the correct thing to do , win it in 90 mins , go for it , loved the thinking !

Pav duly obliges and who says Harry and Pav dont talk , they seem to love their touchline chats dont they ? lol

Then Eidur the iceman with the icing on the cake third.. Lovely goal , a goal that wouldnt have looked out of place at The Nou Camp ....

My one last little gripe was the last 10-15 minutes of the game where I thought we couldve been better dictating the game with our possesion, rather than all out defending and looking for a counter attack.

And to top it all off, Man City 0 Everton 2 ....

COYS!!!!

i thut it was arsenal i was watching second half, no pump it high to crouch, you actually got it down and passed it and it looked really good, i thut crouch,gudjohnsen linked up very well and when pav joined the mix u were unstoppable for for 25 min, its a lot better than the lump it there style that some on here adhere too and its alot more entertaining, gudjihnson goal was class. i think gudjohnsen and pav at the moment are on fire, bale is a new man and dawson is a wholehearted, gives his all defender and u have the same with gomes. yids are hitting the right notes at the right time, now will harry go for the throat against us,chelsea and manu or will harry change his tactics like he did the first time around, will he have the bollox to leave defoe out in favour of crouch,pav, or even gudjohnson, what about lennon, does he come straight back in. big decisions for harry to make and it could make all the differnce. on last nights second half performance i wouldn change too much. lennon is better than bentley but does he deliver the ball better, i wonder who the forwards would rather play with. footballs great aint it.

good question, i would be more than happy with 4th spot and the fa cup, even getting to the final would be nice, but then i want my team competing with the best and winning the best trophies and u cant do that if u aint in it. so its a difficult one to answer, so i will reverse the question. what would u prefer, your team competing for 4th spot and semi final of the fa cup or quarter finals of the champ league and competing for the title, ok we risk losing the lot and we have the harder task (i think) but i think i like our situation more, i hope that makes sesnse.

Obviously the latter would be more of a financial benefit, but to be realistic, will your lot win the CL?? i dont think you'll beat Barca, so i'd rather go with a visit to Wembley (twice) & we are now fav's to get 4th spot!

i can understand that, but visiting wembley is only good if u win and u aint made it twice there yet, ive left wembley a few times a very miserable man (91 semi comes to mind) so lets not get too far ahead of yourselves yet, 4th spot i fancy u tbh, mancini looks a man under pressure,liverpool are all over the place and villa aint done nothing right since carling cup final, as for us barca will be very tuff and my head says it will be the end, but apart from them there aint any other team that would bother me, so who knows and like i say if u dont buy a ticket u aint going to win it, the worst thing about barca beating us will be the fabregas factor, if they hammer us it could turn his thuts to them and that would be our biggest loss.
