Twitching Tottenham get on my tits
Thursday, February 21, 2008 at 9:48PM Spurs 1 Prague 1 (3-2 win on agg.)
Well that was shit, wasn't it. The main highlight for me was the final whistle. I can gladly say with pride I was at home watching this with a cup of Earl Grey and not out in the cold N17 night being made to suffer by an inept performance that was pretty much a re-run of the first leg. Decent first half, woeful second. Apart from the game ending, the other moment to saviour involved David Pleat, for the first time in recorded history, pronouncing Chimbonda's name correctly. Only to then mispronounce it later in the game, laying to rest the chance of a special dvd release to mark the historic moment.
I'm not really sure what else to say about this game. Spurs were lethargic and clumsy. Wasteful with the ball and incapable of testing the oppositions keeper. Shimbo, out of position, along with the naivety of O'Hara allowed Prague to equalise Jamie's opening goal. Cue nervous final 40 minutes.
Yes, its Cup Final day for us on Sunday and the players most definitely had one eye on that game meaning, lack of concentration and the obvious necessity to avoid injury. But fucking hell, its Slavia Prague. Up the tempo, bully them and brush them aside. Casual football from the Lilywhites is one disease that needs eradicating out of WHL. Its a tumour that needs gutting.
Lazy performance, 4.3 out of 10.

Believe me mate, you didn't miss much. But I suppose the experience of being there for the NLD the other week has heightened my expectations somewhat!
Brush them aside? Spurs were muscled off the ball like a fluffer with long fingernails.
Going through 3-2 on aggregate with one player limping off is better than going through 5-2 on aggregate but with three players limping off before a cup final.
I think you lot stand a very good chance of cleaning up on Sunday. As an old guy who remembers BN and what he did, it would be realy fitting for you to humble the chavvy arivistes that are The Chelse. Good luck !
