Spurs - 5th Jan 2008 FA Cup Round 3 - prediction thread

[CMRoyal]

Don't want to worry you guys, but ours came before Christmas.

[PorkyRfc]

I can't help thinking we will play our reserve team and take a bit of a battering.

Does anyone know how many tickets we have sold? After playing there last week will we sell out our 3,000?!

[1960]

Ref is Mark Clattenburg

Oh goody. Our players can wrestle the opposition to the ground and launch two-footed thigh-high tackles without being punished. Sonko will be well sorry he will miss that opportunity.

[BLUES & ROYAL]

There were 800 left yesterday (match day) lunchtime

A Fed
Rosenior
DLC
Bikey
Pearce
Henry
Harper
Fae
Convey
Long
Cox (hehehehehe)

And I reckon a close 3-2 to Spurs.
Long and Harper for us.

[Diddyroyal]

1-0 Reading

Hahnemann
Rosenior
Bikey
Duberry
Cisse
Harper
Hunt
Fae
Convey
Long
Lita

Cox, Pearce, Henry wont play, except maybe for 2 mins at the end!

With Lita playing it will shun rumours that he is going.

Also, by playing a fairly strong team it will show that they actually do care about winning this game.

Spurs 2 Reading 3

If Coppell really does rest most of the regular starting XI, the team and the game will be interesting, but the result will be painful (again). Nevertheless I hope that he does.

He also says that a signing he is close to making will not be a candidate for the regular starting XI. Another one for the future. Same old pattern.

[Coppelled Streets]

Quite why I'm going to see the reserves I don't know but two tickets bought today in the upper tier.

Still, it's a piss up if nothing else.

"Ohhhhhhhh wheeeeen the Royaaaaaaals,
goooooooo steeeeaaaaaaming innnnnnnn.........."

Spurs 3 Reading 1 (Defoe hat-trick, Long)

[Upper West?!?]

After 4 games in 11 days, I can't see why Coppell would play the knackered or sick, so Hunt, Harper, Shorey, Murty, Ingamarsson, Sonko, Hahnemann, Kitson & Doyle will all be rested.

I for one will be disappointed to see any 1st teamers play. Playing with only 10 men for most of two games over what was already a busy period means they all should be rested IMO.

The one exception is probably Bobby having beem sacrificed so early against Portsmouth (and needs the practice!).

I'll be mighty disappointed in Henry doesn't get the nod in that position, only seen him a couple of times and need to see what all the fuss is about. To be fair to Halls, he actually played fairly well against L'pool in the cup there, I'm sure the lad has got more to his game than we've seen so far (I would hope so anyway!)

Reading 3 (Lita, Lita, Convey) - Tottenham 3 (Huddlestone, Boateng, Zokora)
