[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 0-1 Chelsea, Werner.

[Globalgunner]

Mourinho and Spud football philosophy is simple. When things are not going your way. Apply more force. You can never apply too much force

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 1-1 Chelsea, Lamela.

Brentford 3-0 Fulham. :lol:

[Mac76]

I'm assuming the lack of a thread so far about tomorrow's game means that like me no -one on here gives a sh*t and basically hopes we get dumped out by Citeh so we can focus on the relegation battle, right?

[Letters]

I had literally no idea we were playing tomorrow.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I had literally no idea we were playing tomorrow.

Neither do our players.

[Marc Overmars]

Semi finals:

United v City
Spurs v Brentford :sick:

[Globalgunner]

Spuds can beat City cos Pep is a dope you falls for Mourinho's rope a dope every time. Utd will beat Spuds 4 out of 5 times. The trick with the Spuds is not to let them score first. Then they will hit you on the break again and again. Ole might look stupid but he wont fall for it

[Marc Overmars]

Hope so. As I think we could be about to lose our one last cherished piece of banter, which is the Spuds trophy drought.

Then our descent into nothingness will be complete.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham: Lloris, Reguilon, Sanchez, Aurier, Hojberg, Dier, Sissoko, Moura, Ndombele, Son, Kane.

Subs: Trafford, Walker, Jesus, Aguero, Rodrigo, Mendy, Nmecha, Harwood-Bellis, Mbete.

[Globalgunner]

United cant win a game where penalties are not involved.

Actually I'd rather United win this match because Spuds will beat Pep's City 4 times out of 5.
Cant have the Spuds winning a trophy, even if it's the drinks cup

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-1 Citeh, Stones.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cancelo goes head to head with Shaw.

Why was that not a red but Pepe's was?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-2 Man City, Fernandinho. Great volley, keeping it low.

Solskjaer. :haha:

Four semi-final defeats in a row.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-2 Man City, FT.

Ole. :haha:

Citeh are in the League Cup final for the fourth time in a row.

We are a bit of a mess but Spurs still have such a small club mentality.

[Ollie the Optimist]

So the FA have announced there will be 8,000 fans at the Final between Spurs & City with the two sides being given 2,000 tickets each.


The FA along with the league etc have spent the last 12 months saying how important fans are and how they cant wait to have them back in stadiums. First opportunity they get and only give half the allocation to the two clubs.

It does say that the rest will go to either NHS staff or local Brent residents but lets face it, its football. They will go the corporate bodies

[dazthegooner]

NHS management I assume?

[Niall_Quinn]

NHS management I assume?

You assume wrong.

NHS management plus friends of NHS management.

I would have thought the NHS was so busy killing its patients and choreographing dance routines they wouldn't have time for football.

[Mac76]

I obvs really hope Citeh win tomorrow but tbh if spuds have to win something at some point i'd rather it was this meaningless trophy at a time when most of their fans can't be at the game or pack the pubs to celebrate

But still really hope they don't... :pray:

[GP]

It's all Citeh at the moment, so expect Spurs to score soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still 0-0. Sort it out Citeh FFS.

[GP]

Citeh have missed about 500 chances. We know how this ends.

LAPORTE!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Havertz only miles offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pulisic shot, easy for Kelleher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mount just dropped the Ashes.

Six added minutes.

Great save from Mendy to deny Van Dijk!

Is there extra time if no one scores or is it straight to pels?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Extra time first.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT, on to Extra time!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku scores, given offside but I didn't think it was.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR lines show it was. I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kovacic off, Jorginho on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another disallowed goal, this time for Havertz.

Mendy could not have done any worse on saving the pens.....and he surely would have at least kept his own kick on target

Isn't the second worst curse that has befallen sport, after money, politics? It has nothing to do with sport, or shouldn't have. I didn't see what Cech said but if he refrained from making political comments, especially in defence of neo-Nazis (assuming he's supposed to jump on the ultra-ignorant pro-Ukrainian bandwagon) then good for him. Speak about football and nothing else. That's his job I think. Maybe if he's interviewed personally while not on duty he has a different opinion. Just keep this shit out of sport.

I know that's the exact opposite of what's actually going to happen. But it's a shame.

So just ignore the fact that Chelsea is owned by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Adolf Putin? I think it has a lot to do with sport, try telling Zinchenko or Yarmolenko. I’ve seen your posts in other sections, you call as you see it, so I won’t bother getting into an exchange with you, let’s agree to disagree.

I was on Abramovich's case since day one. The very first day he took charge. I wish you, and everyone else, would simply look at the facts though. If you think Putin is Hitler then what do you think about the actual neo-Nazis who have been terrorising civilians in the east of Ukraine since 2014? That matters. That provides context. We can agree or disagree, but we mustn't ignore the facts. I call it as it is, which coincides with how I see it and not by accident. I can do that because this is just a forum. But if I was hired by CFC (not that I'd accept) I very much doubt I'd be spending my time spouting off on politics. Unless I was specifically hired to do that.
