The fixtures are really against us.
Arsenal will beat Wigan.
Newcastle will need a point at QPR to be safe.
So they won't be seriously up for it against arsenal in the final game.
Chelsea may drop points but we HAVE to win at stoke (who are now safe).
Aresenal play Wigan 3 days after their cup final.
Season in, season out, they really do get the luck. As they will this season too.

It's hard to argue about luck after 38 games. Sorry but our constant failure to address the goal scoring role will once more be highlighted. and of equal concern our inability to keep a clean sheet.

Agree0 Disagree0

Trouble leaking goals and lack of options for scoring them. 5th will be an achievement really.

Dempsey is utter rubbish. Once again we get unlucky we should of won that with Sandro, Dembele and Kaboul out.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

And how many goals has Dempsey made this season?

Agree0 Disagree0

Doesn't matter how many scored or made, he has missed or cocked up three times as many! Never was and never will be good enough for Spurs and like Ade, now they have shown their true worth, we are stuck with them!

Agree0 Disagree0

Dempsey has popped up with some key goals. Albeit tap-ins and deflections mostly, they've been important. However, I agree that he is technically very poor. Sigurdsson is a far better footballer.

Both our full backs were utterly crap tonight. they have to be replaced!

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Sorry mate thought Walker had a good game tonight, defended well, got forward well and showed 110% commitment. BAE on the other hand is awful as is parker.
Congratulations to Ade on a fantastic performance, leds me to asking why can't he do it every game?

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally agree about the full backs thfc, but Ade still has a crap attitude! How much has he earned this year, for how many goals, don't think that's a good return? We can still do it, but by god has tight arse got to open the coffers! AVB has proved he has got what it takes!

Agree0 Disagree0

Walker had a really strong game tonight. After a shocking first 20, ade actually had a very good game

Agree0 Disagree0

I disagree I thought walker had a decent game not amazing but not bad.

Bae was terrible

On the people page then pinky? They only had the chance because we took of our two best and let them come at us.

Agree0 Disagree0

You only had a chance because Defoe or dembele didn't play!
Good honest comment pinky.
Shame the chav t. what had to come on and spoil it.

Agree0 Disagree0

If hazard didn't get injured you guys were at the sword. lucky too draw. two years in a row chelsea have dealt you the thursday night card. enjoy

Agree0 Disagree0

I wouldn't say spurs are out of it yet still more twist and turns in this top 4 yet!


pinky

Agree0 Disagree0

You have dealt us the Thursday night joy?
So I take it you will be hiding away next week and you won't be watching your final in the self same competition?
So, I expect you to be far too embarrassed to celebrate winning that self same competition should you beat benfica.
You are a fool and a hypocrite.
Actually, a typical chav fan jumping on a band wagon.

Agree0 Disagree0

Very true pinky.
I hope your fellow chav fan is thoroughly embarrassed by your team being in the final of the 'Thursday' night competition but I'm sure he would be celebrating with the rest if you should you win it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Im a Gooner mate!

Agree0 Disagree0

Oi gooner. Don't go putting your foot in it just yet pal.
Plenty to play for and I really think Newcastle away is the toughest of any of the remaining fixtures.
If you get there, fair play to ya.
By the way you may be right about hazard, all ifs and buts tho.
Same could be said about adebayor in our game at the library against you.
If he hadn't of gone off, you would of got done.
So your point us a bit if a stupid one really.

BAE has got to go at the end of the season, gone from one of the best left backs in the PL to the worst. Complete liability

Believable0 Unbelievable0

08 May 2013 20:34:26
BAE is most definitely the worst player on our team. Given the ball away far too much. Again, the only player showing an ounce of passion is Dawson! Sort it out! COYS

Being a firm believer in playing your best players when available, can someone tell me why AVB, who I rate as one of the best managers in the PL, persists with Ade, who is one of the laziest and most useless players in the PL, please?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Theres your answer davo

b/s

Agree0 Disagree0

Because when he actually wants to play he can change the game for spurs as he did tonight. Tremendous performance. Shame about the rest of the season though!

Agree0 Disagree0

He was quality tonight mate

lets all get behind the boys tonight. we need a super performance to night to pull it off. which we can do as long as the other players apart from bale understand how important it is to win. go on the boys. the nerves have kicked in.
also just wanna say what a great contribution to English football sir Alex has brought to the game. Hope it dnt spark bale move somewhere.

Just wondering what everyone is thinking as far as what team should be for chelsea game. My own thinking on it is that we should man-mark Mata & I'd give parker that job, don't worry about adding into the play just follow Mata like a bad smell & take him out of the game.
Rafa is no person & I think he will have a game plan for the threat of bale behind the striker so I'd change it up if I wad villas boas & start bale in an old style inside right, I expect chelsea will pick a starting line up of cech azipecueta (spelling) cahill terry cole ramirez luiz hazard Mata moses Torres, well I'd push bale right up on the shoulder of terry between the lines of terry & cole this would force terry to drop deeper & make Cole unsure of moving forward as terry would not want to be left 1on1 with bale & would hopefully leave benites plan to congest area infront of back four defunct & by chelsea backline having drop-off would leave more room in middle section of pitch to gain control.
My starting line- up would b lloris in goal walker Dawson caulker BAE, I'd play vertongen in front of back four with parker man- marking Mata, huddlestone in middle & holtby on left to give more protection to BAE than dempsey or siggurdson would, bale inside right & upfront ADE but if dembele was 100% fit I'd of picked him upfront for bale to play-off but as is he & lennon will more than likely only make the bench, so ADE it is.
What I would like to see from us is any free kicks outside of bale range even if there on halfway line b given 2 huddlestone & send caulker Dawson verthongen ADE up into box & for huddz delivery to b put in an area that will test cech ( he's suspect on anything in air since his head injury) so year him out at every opportunity, I also want us to have a man on each post defending corners & bale left upfront as no defender would want to b left 1on1 with him & he could b a great counter- attacking outlet for us, other than that It's fingers crossed.
So lloris walker Dawson Caulker BAE, Parker verthongen huddlestone Holtby lm bale inside right pushed up ADE subs Friedal naughton siggurdson Carroll lennon Defoe Dembele
That's what I'd go with what would everyone else go with?
Espur

Believable0 Unbelievable0

And to be contructive; one big problem with your tactics is we are awful at defending set-pieces and Bale is good in the air so we need him in our own box. I would go for (fitness allowing).

Lloris

Walker
Dawson
Vertonghen
Naughton (BAE awful this season, at his worst Saturday)

Parker
Dembele
Lennon
Bale
Sig (swapping with Bale throughout between left side and behind Ade to give some midfield cover)

Ade

Agree0 Disagree0

True simmo but that doesn't mean bale has to defend them & having an out ball is a form of defending a corner an example would b Italy knocking Germany out of last euros they left 3 up when defending corners & by doing this Germany couldn't commit as many players into box & balotelli scored on counter 1 pass bang they couldn't deal with balotelli's pace & goal.
I think the notion that u need everyone back to defend corners is poppy- c*ck if anything players just end up getting in each others way, your far better off having a man on each post & picking up man2man, we have enough players like caulker ADE Dawson verthongen huddz walker with height to b able to leave bale forward.
I think it will b hard for us to break chelsea down so we have to try to mix it up & do things like leaving bale up on corners as Benitez won't have a plan for it cause we never do it. Our most likely option of scoring is either from a freekick or on counter attack so I would like villas boas to do something different with our set-up because if we don't & serve up the same tripe as Saturday w'er screwed.
Espur

Agree0 Disagree0

Wouldn't play Parker, and Ade?
Do us a favour! Play Defoe who at least can lead a counter attack. Remember we really do need the three points.

Agree0 Disagree0

Very much doubt AVB will play this way but interesting thinking. If we get a draw then we're banking on two very poor defences stopping the $cum from taking 6points so a win is all we can go for. It will suit Chelsea who can relax a bit as a draw means they only need one win from 2 games left to finish above us.
Could we win? Yes. Will we win? Very doubtful. To be fair, as defeatist as it sounds, no win there in 20odd years, always choking when it gets to games like this over several years, key players carrying injuries, no creative/attacking depth (without Bale we'd be nowhere).
Apart from 15 minutes against Man City, we haven't played well since Anfield and we bungled two comedy goals to lose that!
I am praying for a win, I would love a win but knowing us we may even nick a point just to prolong the hope of arsenal drawing a game, they won't so we'll be tortured that bit longer. At least it can't go on another week after the season ends and right to a penalty shoot-out this time to get let down!

Agree0 Disagree0

Hey espur, I agree that we shouldn't have everybody back defending set pieces (unless desperately defending a lead/near the end or something). It seems to be something AVB does and it's nuts in my opinion, as it is we are rubbish at defending them with everybody in the box anyway, too many cooks perhaps.
