That is probably what he was thinking mate - that says it all for me. No gonads. If we were protecting a draw to see us third,great sub. Not when we needed a win.
I see the usual Bale hate is here for a bad result.
He and Ade were the only ones to hit shots on target.
Absolutely fudging disgusted with that substitution. "Yeah,Kev,we need a goal,lets send on Scotty"
Now I rate Parker but wtf was that?
You guys do realise we can still get third right. So whilst a win was needed its not the end of the world.
It's not an egg-and-spoon race. Villa stopped us today with the help of a lucky goal, a rash challenge from a kid and some strong defending. It's not like Spurs were the only team on the pitch.3rd was in the bag, we blew it. Arsenal handed us a chance to take it back, we blew it. Sorry if I'm not doing cartwheels.

Some people on here go on like we somehow deserve 3rd
Also, whilst I agree that Rose is not the best left back in the PL I have to say that he had an ok game by his standards up until the sending off. Walker on the other hand was shocking, absolutely shocking in the first half, he gave the ball away constantly and got caught out by his attacker on several occasions. The sending off even turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it opened up the game for us and as a result we owned the match after that, such a shame we didnÔÇÖt creat enough clear cut chances to finish them off.

I can fully understand the disappointment and frustration of us not taking the chance to go third, but some of these marks seem rather harsh.
Friedel - the only person who might have been able to save their goal is a fictional character that hails from Krypton?Rose - the full-back position is a specialist one and as a winger, Danny is doing a reasonably good job?
Walker - if it is right that he received pain killing injections to help him play through a broken toe, it would explain the limping towards the end of the second half?Gallas - like him, or loathe him the man is a winner and he hates to lose?
Bale - when Rose saw red, GB seemed to look after the entire left wing?Modric - played an intelligent game and linked in well with Sandro?
Lennon - there were times when he was "in acres", but never used?
Adebayor - when we went down to ten men, his work rate was phenomenal - come on people; watch what players do when they do not have the ball?[/QUOTE]
Excellent post. Uncannily you said some of things I was chatting about on the way home
is anybody here aware of the fact that we were 10 and not 11!?VDV was huffing and puffing, could not go on.. he is not 100% fit and has not been this season.
Taking VDV off and putting Defoe on would have destroyed our midfield.
Also, Defoe NEVER tracks back, he would have been useless in a 10 men system
