Brilliant run by Kalou .....never thought i would say that some day

Kalou almost proved us wrong. ,Should have scored. dammmitt

this is gonna be one long day. with bosingwa on the right and kalou on the left.

lol. i thought bosingwa would match bale's pace

few fans have let the club down

ffs Kalou. I take back what I said

yeah. it is really windy atm. aerial balls going haywire

i hope we dont keep dumping the ball into the box for 90 mins. i hope we attack through their weak defence

love Adebayor's attitude in the pre-match handshake

yeah and there in lies the problem. we have to keep the ball better or else spurs will put pressure on us. If we go in to that phase of endless Spurs pressure, we are doomed

sturridge wont get back to help defend against bale

Now you wont

Oh dear... shouldn't have posted that then.. i was just being err optimisitic

Tottenham Hotspur Lineup (4-4-1-1) : Cudicini; Assou-Ekotto, King, Gallas, Walker; Bale, Parker, Modric, Lennon; Van der Vaart; Adebayor

kalou will prove us all wrong today. atleast All of us except Capriccioso. Mark my words

i hope not. drogba will bully barca defenders

yeah. he does have the pace to deal with bale. but in december, he paid the price for backing away from bale. too much respect imo

Bosingwa vs Bale - oh dear. i need something to drink

its 4 games in 8 days.

official? if it is, this is a very cautious team put out

that is not my point. you misunderstand me. the fa cup is still a great competition. the magic of the fa cup is still exists. but securing champions league football next season is much much more important. some might say they can go 2 games in 3 days but that's not the thing. the squad may be able to play 2 in 3 days but they will be jaded. so rdm has to rotate wisely. we should put out a competitive team, no doubt but if we lead, we should rest a few legs.

now if we go for it and lose against barca, they are gonna blame rdm for not prioritising. i knw its messed up but that's the way it is.

i'm just sayin, if it came down to it, i'd rather have a go at barca than spurs. the ucl is the holy grail for a reason. but i think we can win both this year

U have a point,yes, but we have won enough fa cups in the last few years and its not just 2 games in 3 days. its 4 games in 8. There is nothing wrong in prioritizing here. We should have a go at Barca rather than Spurs. Our focus is achieving Champions League football next year, not become Liverpool

Shinji Kagawa is a great passer too. Whenever I watch the highlights of the German league, Kagawa carves open the defence with a toe-poking pass or outside of the boot chip or something. All chelsea do is pass it to the fullbacks and dump the ball into the box, so i think kagawa will be a great signing
