Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis. At this age he's bound to have the odd bad game, it's to be expected. We're lucky to have him at the club and we should support him.

But we're Spurs. It's what we do.
One defeat and we are on the way to the Blue Square. One win and we are Champions of Europe. Surely you know that by now? :lol:

But TWO players playing deep just stymies our attacking intent.

..oh of course :lol:
I normally get upset when we lose, but to be honest The FA Cup no longer holds any interest for me. Twas different when I was a lad back in the 60's.
It's the league for me now...and nowt else matters.
Keep knee jerking peeps..:-"

It really pains me to read that. Remember how important the FA Cup used to be? And for people our age to now adopt this opinion is a terrible shame. It was so much better before Sky and the Premiership, wasn't it?
It was better when there was less football on television. The market has been saturated and people don't care as much anymore outside their own team and the big matches. The cups are little more than a distraction at times. It might help if they televised fewer all prem clashes.
I don't disagree.
I only disagreed with your description of Thudd as a defensive midfielder!

I remember when the FA Cup final was virtually the only game shown live on UK TV. A full day of fun was there to be had. Celebrity snooker with 2 players from opposing finalists...a BIG section on suit design...hours of fun it was ! Then, if your team was lucky enough to win the thing it was off to the European Cup Winners Cup knockout compy....weird looking back now how much fun I derived from those heady days..

It's one of things that irritates me when fans of other clubs say that, barring a couple of seasons in the distant past, Spurs have only ever won a bunch cups.
What they forget is that, back in the day, winning the FA Cup was universally considered to be every bit as prestigious as winning the First Division title.

And we would sit glued to the telly watching Cup final Its a knockout, FFS!!
In 81, Emirates Marketing Project stayed at a hotel in Surrey near me, so we went down there and abused the hell out of them as they got on the coach, then jumped on the trains and tubes and abused them again at Wembley. Wonderful days!!

I think he's a hider. He's never actually done anything i've ever thought was that good and tbh i think his partner (whoever he's played with) seems to take the brunt of the blame when we concede or when we play bad. He's meant to be a ball playing cb but i haven't seen any evidence of that. It's a bit scary when he's played this much for us and swansea and i still can't tell what type of CB he is.
I saw Ledley's first game for the club at Anfield.
Over the subsequent years, I saw him make plenty of mistakes - most notably in the 2002 League Cup final. It was to be expected from a young centre back.
I also saw Campbell make his debut and saw loads of mistakes from him too.
I'm not saying that Caulker will be as good as either of them - and certainly Ledley, in particular, always had an aura of sheer class about him - but it's crazy to write him off so young. The kid has been on a steep learning curve. Give him time to show whether or not he has what it takes to be a worthy successor.
I think with a ratings thread so soon after a game which was one of our worst in a long time was always going to be extra harsh. People will post things that by tomorrow they would look at and think were silly or at the very least OTT.
People have been saying the carling cup and fa cup have lost their appeal for a long time now. I think when the top teams played weaker teams more frequently it has had a big effect and clearly the CL has become the big prize making these games inconveniences. How many polls have we had on this where you had a choice of 4th or 5th with a cup win and the latter doesnt end up with many votes.

I think Caulker will be fine. As said above, hes 21 after all.
Its the likes of huddlestone and Bae I am worried about.

BAE's only had a game and a half since his return from injury. Tis a tad harsh to throw him into the knackers yard just yet.

Nobody is writing him off...he could well turn out good but i'm judging him right now (not what he could become in the future). When people throughout the season kept talking about how good he's been..that's when i just think 'wtf'. There's something about him that is instantly forgettable (which is probably why he rarely gets criticism on here). Personally i think he's our 4th choice CB (5th when Kaboul gets back).
