* Official Pre-Season Games Thread *

Sorry, I've lost track of Dawson's recovery. Has he played in pre-season yet? And whether he has or not, presumably we're worried about his recovery?

he played against the Red Bulls thats for sure, with his trade mark raking passes.
 
32 - Another quiet spell, we've looked to get midfielders breaking from deep, but Watford well organised and defending well at moment. 0-0.

#thfc I'm genuinely trying to remember the last time Spurs strung a few passes together. They can't keep the ball! Jenas poor but not alone.

#thfc Frustrated gestures from the Spurs players, who aren't on the same wavelength. Bale hares through the middle and overhits throughball.
 
I get the feeling that staring at a blank screen is more entertaining than watching this would have been.

#thfc Nearly half an hour gone and its 0-0. Too many long balls from Spurs, particularly when they're aimed at Defoe. Always a waste of time


And yet there's still people that think playing Defoe up top on his own is a good idea. But, but .. it's still 4-4-2 m'lud!
 
Sounds awful doesnt it. Imagine those three starting in the middle for us on the opening day :lol:
 
Blackburn were supposed to play a friendly in the Netherlands:

A statement on the Gelderland-Zuid section of the www.politie.nl website read: "The deputy mayor of Nijmegen has decided to cancel the exhibition game between NEC and Steve Kean's side. That match was due to be played today at 2.30pm during the annual open day of NEC.

"Supporters of the English club Blackburn Rovers were involved in rioting in Deventer on Friday and on Saturday there was a confrontation with supporters of NEC Nijmegen in the city.

"On the basis of serious signals to the police that a confrontation would take place again today, deputy mayor Henk Beerten in consultation with police, judiciary and mayor Hubert Bruls decided to cancel the match this afternoon."

#thfc Changes on the way - Sigurdsson, Vertonghen and Walker coming on in place of Jenas, Gallas and Naughton.

#thfc Cudicini has also replaced Friedel for the second half, which has just kicked off.

#thfc 1-0 to Spurs. Walker flies past Watford's left-back and crosses for Defoe, who was left unmarked and headed in from six yards.
 
55 - GOAL! Walker down the right, lovely cross from byline found Defoe free and he buried header from 10 yards. 1-0.
