Yep. I think Carroll could work with Noble and Song dictating things but not Nolan. Good that Sakho is back - he's the key.

Wembley, Wembley, we're the famous Tottenham Hotspur and we're going to Wembley.

[Mick Mac]

There is a one in the year.

[StraferJack]

so the rest of us have to decide if we would rather Chelsea or Tottenham to win???

pick the bones out of that one...

[red devil]

Not difficult for me...C'mon you Spurrrrrssss!

[Jah Lush]

It is going to be very difficult for Tottenham. We have an away fixture at Fiorentina in the UEFA Cup three days before the final. It will be interesting to see who Pochetino picks for that game and the performance of the players and mindset before a cup final, especially considering winning a UEFA Cup can now get you into the Champions League. Obviously the League Cup final should take priority as winning a trophy is all that matters but Chelsea will have a few days extra rest. The Italian fixture is a game we can do without.

Same here - everyone hates Chelsea don't they?

[????]

Some of us aren't keen on Spurs and take a great deal of Schadenfraude(sp?) in their 'big club' delusion which grows funnier the longer they don't win any trophies. I loathe Chelsea but sadly they are going to win things whatever so let them pick up another, after all minor one, and keep the Spuds potless is my view

PS Sorry Jah xx

[maxxi]

Spurs I suppose (swayed by familial considerations as one of my Bros is a Spurs fan). Chelsea will probably win though (if Costa isn't banned).

[Mick Mac]

On style of play Spurs win my vote every time. Chelsea = dull and aggressive

[Alan Medic]

I'll be hoping Spurs win too as I really dislike Chelsea.I think it's mostly because John Terry plays for them.

[Otta]

Yeah that definitely plays a bit part.

I wouldn't want spurs to win a raffle, but Terry and recent arrival Costa (odious dirty c**t) plus a criminal for an owner wouldn't endear CSKA Fulham to anyone.

[Jah Lush]

Catch 22 for you Parkdrive.

[El Pibe]

you can just hope for injuries and penalties. Then you get the joy of seeing grown men cry.

If it's Terry again then I may have to lean toward a spurs win.

[Mick Mac]

Even if Spurs win, Terry will be going up to collect the trophy.

You started drinking yet Mick? That's your best work of this year....

[Mick Mac]

I might see you at kids swimming in the morning Quids, but if I stand sideways you might miss me

So BFS fans (Mick and the Dr)..Downing played on the wing again rather than in the centre of the diamond, the useless Nolan in the central position. Downing, possibly one of the players of the season to date, is ineffectual and not in the game like most of last season when he played out there, Nolan is useless and we are comprehensively beaten as I predicted. Since Nolan came back Sam has played him in that position and carroll upfront and our results are loses against all the big teams, some wins against the strugglers (Hull, Leicster), mainly from the second half when he's changed the formation, and some draws against average teams who our best formation and team should steamroll. When Nolan and Caroll were injured with Sakho and Valencia upfront and Downing in the middle we were fantastic. Useless dinosaur c*nt of a manager. Got a squad of players way beyond his ability and ambitions, i hope they don't renew his contract at the end of this season.

[maxxi]

More worryingly - if press rumours are to be believed - he's trying to ship Noble out (for Fletcher) and keep Nolan. Un-be-f-ing-lievable. All part of his plan to get rid of any players that aren't his and keep his glee club so he can say (when asked why he's gone all long ball again) 'I have to play a system that works for the players I have'.

ETA - looks like Song is being trained to stay back and pump long balls forward for Valencia and Carroll too - he won't stay to play like that.

[Alan Medic]

BFS is concentrating on winning the cup and avoiding the Europa League. What's not to like? He has a good plan and so far it's working. WH are not quite good enough to get into the top 4.

[Jah Lush]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha - ad infinitum.

[Otta]

AM I think you are enjoying winding Quids and Maxxi up over West Ham, but the facts are there to see. They play one formation, they do well. They play his preferred formation, they get beat.

I was obviously pleased with yesterday, but I quite like West Ham, and it is a shame to see them being held back, which in my opinion (for what it's worth) they are by BFS's backwards thinking.

[Alan Medic]

4500 Thanks Otta.
