I was dissapointed with 3 things during that game.

1) Chelsea fans chanting during the minutes silence.

2) The referee

3) Another Spurs capitulation- Redknapp for England????

It'll be a nice close cup final.

In the league Tottenham need to pick it up.

In the summer we can re-group with a new manager possibly.

Good luck in the Final. Let's hope you didn't use it all up today:)

I hope not. Hopelessly out of his depth when the pressure started. If the manager has to be English I'd go for Roy Hodgson.

One game at a time innit? We've got mid table, nothing to play for, Stoke at SJP next, you've got relegation candidate QPR away.

Anything can happen, but how would Spurs react to being 3 points adrift of 4th with 4 games to play?

But it's more than a couple, they've beaten Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal (as well as Stoke) in their last 5 games. The 5th was away to Chelsea where they lost by the odd goal in three as a result of shitty refereeing.

Quite an improvement.

I was trying to ignore the Liverpool result. Thanks for that.

Oink mate,
you lot still have 4th place to play for,
champions league spot.
l have to admit not a goal time for technology.

Why bother with technology, just introduce TV reviews. It takes longer to shoo the argumentative players away then it would for the 4th official to look at a replay and make a call. I just dont get why there is official resistance to this common sense approach.*

*Other than the given that UEFA and FIFA are run by self serving idiots of course, and you are about as likely to find any common sense there as you are a fire breathing unicorn.

Is every game televised? Asking because I do not know.

Why don't they use the rugby model with the 4th official ?

Would every game have "goal line technology"?

All the "important" games are televised.
