This is a problem with our culture, and it's only a recent thing too. I'm only young and until I was 16 I'd be playing football every night with my mates, I look at my little brother and all him and his friends do is communicate through an Xbox playing Fifa 12. Lazy generation! They're never out, it's crazy.

Spurs are run by a guy called Joe Lewis... Owns a yatch that's often parked near Tower Bridge. I heard he likes to stay behind the scenes and let Levy run the show

I agree with you re having to be able to succeed in cups but Redknapp has won the FA Cup and League Cup in the last few years and got to a Champions League semi final...

And if we were to merit it purely on cup success - Avram Grant anyone?

There was also one a few years back involving James, Kanoute and then Defoe. Maybe against Newcastle?!

That was the third game I've seen us play live all season and all three of them we've lost and conceded the losing goal in the last few minutes. Maybe it's my fault! But seriously, there was no real desire to win the game.

There was no shape, 3 centre midfielders with Bentley out wide left and Baldock sort of wide right. No width on the right whatsoever. Faubert should've come on waaaayyyy earlier. It felt like everyone had been given a job, and as long as the players did their bit well, it would be okay. Well that's simply not enough. There was no one taking the game by the scruff of the neck. Very frusrating to watch and I hope Big Sam adapts.

However, I do not agree with everyone who thinks our transfer activity has been poor now, because we haven't been getting the right results. Just 3 weeks ago everyone was saying it's the best business we've done in years! Nolan shouldn't be underestimated, he gives us something we haven't had for a long time (see 'Man Crush' over on KUMB) . As painful as it was to watch last night, Sam Allardyce is not a silly man and he will get us up. COYI

Interesting thoughts. I can see Collison not featuring due to being in line to play for Wales tonight, and Lansbury only making the bench. I agree with you re the goalkeeping slot being given to an outfield player for any other game but the Portsmouth one. I can also see him playing 4-5-1 this weekend with Baldock on the bench.
So...

Green

O'Brien
Tomkins
Reid
Ilunga (Mcartney if fit enough)

Faubert
Diop
Nolan
Noble
Taylor

Cole

Subs: Boffin, Demel, Lansbury, Bentley, Baldock

Yeah I was thinking for a while who else could play in CM and there really isn't anyone established enough to go in there.... But wouldn't be surprised if Moncur was put in
