    why are you having a pop at harry? on rte this morning he said he would play the strongest team possibly but will probably weak due to injuries?

    sounds fair enough

    Must be backtracking from his previous quotes -

    http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20090123/sport/redknapp-to-send-weakened-team-to-united-in-fa-cup
    "We've got some tough games, we have a game at Man. United that really is so secondary to me now," Redknapp told Sky Sports after a torrid night at Burnley on Wednesday.

    "If Alex (Ferguson) is listening, I'm really going to send a real mish-mash team up there. I hope it doesn't upset the fans, but we played extra-time and we're out on our feet a little bit," added Redknapp.

    No mention of injuries there.

    We're into the fifth round of the cup.

    When's the draw?

    Pompey dumped out and Fulham very, very lucky against Kettering.

    yup it was in response to a question on what he had said previously.

    Spurs team to play United:

    Alnwick, Gunter, Assou-Ekotto, Corluka, Dawson, Bentley, Huddlestone, Zokora, Bale, Modric, Pavlyuchenko.

    SUBS - Gomes, Gilberto, Giovani, Taarabt, Defoe, Rocha, Dervite.

    So he's risking Corluka, Dawson and Modric, and has an injured keeper on the bench as cover for Alnwick, along with Dervitte (sum total of 1 game), Rocha who's not played since Sept 2007, Gilberto who came off after 45mins of his last game and told redknapp he'd rather not play for us again, Gio coming back from a lyaoff, and Taarabt who has about 20mins under his belt and 10 sub appearances in the preceding season.

    Realistically, defoe is the only option off the bench that might hurt United.

    There's your mish mash.

    Well his team selection would prove that during the week he was, as usual, talking shite. Nothing wrong with the team he's put out.

    does Bent have an injury? Cos otherwise thw fact that he doesent even make the squad after a week when Harry got criticise for publicly making fun of bent could only indicate hes moving to a team that would like him non-cuptied (or did he play in the 3rd round?).

    He's injured. And played first 27mins against Wigan but came off.

    ...because to be honest its boring - its nearly the same as watching a reserve match...
    Two points:
    1) So Sunday's Cardiff City - Arsenal match was boring, was it? OK, it only featured one of your big brands, but the commentators thought it was a great game too.

    2) As a Cardiff fan myself, let me say that last year's FA Cup run was just fantastic for the club & supporters. For those of us that follow their hometown & not just some random foreign brand, this is the essence of the Beautiful Game. Yes, the skill level's generally higher in richer clubs, but it's about much more than that... isn't it?

    Yes, you are right, i enjoyed the bit i saw of the FA Cup last weekend and my comments were definitely premature, it does bring teams of the lower leagues into the spotlight and essentially without this football would die so i retract my opening statement - roll on the next round of the Cup.
