[Archived] Spurs Preview

[Lurid Coat]

Not at all confident. I'd be extremely happy with a point. Hopefully the great Jase will produce some magic and bag a brace, but I just can't see it happening.

[jonv]

BIG SAMS BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!

GET IN LADS!!!!

delighted with a win,

happy with a draw.

[Brownie]

I was told yesterday the side is

Rob

And Nel Sam Giv

Dio Tug War Ped

Rob McC

[Iceman]

Thats an okay team, if true. Although maybe Moko should have slotted in instead of Toogs! But the midfield are very under strength, and thats been a real concern for a number of years now.

[ross-shire rover]

A draw always sounds OK and for sure it's better than losing but not by that much. 8 remaining games 8 draws and no losses = 8 points. 5 losses and 3 wins = 9 points. At this stage we have to be going for a win every game and not get into the frame of mind where we say we're satisfied with a draw.

[Bobby G]

Brownie was almost right, but Mokoena stays in so Tugays on the bench.

[Nelsta]

Lennon's going to rip us apart.

My hope for this game have not improved i still think we're going to loose this.

I hope Givet is the right man to stop Lennon, but he looks class these days.

I am also afraid that Robbie "Scores against Blackburn everytime no matter what" keane will score today too.

[Amo]

I hope Givet is the right man to stop Lennon, but he looks class these days.

And if he does, they could just throw Lennon on the left and let him destroy Ooijer.

You mean Andrews? He is right back isn't he?

[RibbleValleyRover]

You mean Andrews? He is right back isn't he?

Correct

[Amo]

B'oh! Read 'And' as Andre.

[thecomebackid]

Blackburn: Robinson, Andrews, Samba, Nelsen, Givet, Diouf, Mokoena, Warnock, Pedersen, Roberts, McCarthy.

Subs: Brown, Ooijer, Kerimoglu, Dunn, Villanueva, Treacy, Olsson.

Tottenham: Gomes, Corluka, Woodgate, King, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Jenas, Palacios, Modric, Bent, Keane.

Subs: Cudicini, Zokora, Bentley, Huddlestone, Pavlyuchenko, Dawson, Chimbonda.

No surprises. Starting with Roberts & McCarthy up front. Andrews probably brings a bit more mobility to the back four. Wouldn't be surprised if he's told to man-to-man mark Lennon.

Hope we can live with Spurs' pace.

Haven't been this pessimistic or nervous since... err, the last home match.

Come on you Blues!

[RibbleValleyRover]

If you look at the form table Spurs are top of it and when you also consider we have only won three games at home so far this season its not looking good. Roberts needs to have a decent game if we are to get anything out of it IMO.

[Iceman]

This might sound strange, but if it rains we stand a good chance of winning this one. Wet weather will make it slippery under foot, and stop Lennon from playing.

Oh great, Winterburn in commentary. Doesnt he have anything better to do?

[dopper69]

Andrews - right back??

Surely the Mok and Andrews should switch?? What is wrong with Ooijer anyway?

Why? does he have no studs in his boots.

[ThatRabbitsDynamite]

Bentley looks happy on the bench smilin' and yukin it up.

[ThatRabbitsDynamite]

Robinson makes a beauty of a save but, looks like Bent was offside

[ThatRabbitsDynamite]

diouf efort from a pedersen corner is going in if not for assou-ekotto.

Mok at right back is a liability - he's better in midfield. Ooijer is s-l-o-w.

Keane penalty goal.

Lennon is going to give Givet all sorts of trouble because of the Frenchman's lack of pace.

[Billy Castell]

1-0 to Spurs. Harsh handball against Givet, and Keane scored penalty despite it not being placed on the penalty spot. Ref is a ____.

[beerwins]

I cant believe that penalty stood , it wasnt even on the spot and was pointed out to the ref, wasnt even a penalty to start with.

[Mr. E]

Anyone who thinks the FA hasn't slyly been trying to relegate us ever since we came back is a bloody idiot. No, they're not arranging entire games, but little things like this are not coincidental. Not coincidental at the slightest.

[Amo]

What a ###### joke.

Givet took his arm away from the ball.

And then the ref ignores Rovers protests when Keane barely puts the ball on the spot.
