    I know this is early but Harry has to put his head down and get the team together for next sunday

    We are live in front of the sky cameras against a very poor blackburn side who are fighting for their premier league survival

    Team has to be

    Friedal : Our number 1 and has had a great season . Deserves our support
    Walker : Excellent season and one of our best players
    Ekotto : No alternative
    King : Our leader at the back and a top CB
    Kaboul - Our best player all season
    Bale : Our most explosive player
    Modric : Our most naturally gifted footballer
    Parker : Our captain and Englands captain
    Lennon : One of our most dangerous players
    Adebayour : Our best frontman to lead the line
    Defoe : OUr best finisher

    I think vdv has to be dropped - he was out during the week saying he wants to finish up playing in Holland. He has had a bad time of it recently and is so terribly slow and cant make a full 90 minutes.

    Well I think the last game should have been the biggest game for us and should have been our turning point. I don't have much hope that we can win the next four really.

    Regarding your line up, I think Gallas may be a better choice than King, but really as it is, they are both useless. I hope Kaboul is back for this. I really don't think that we should set out in a 4-4-2 either. Every time we do it we are so open on the counter attack, which Yakubu excels at.

    In my opinion we need VDV on the pitch. We barely threaten to score recently and a bit of magic from VDV could be the difference. Defoe does not deserve to start, but should come on at 60 minutes if we need him. If both Bale and lennon stay on the ****ing wings, hey, we might have a chance.

    Biggest game of the season was man city away. Next biggest was arsenal a few weeks ago. 3rd biggest was the game after aresnal. 4th biggest was yesterday.
    The next game is no longer crucial as we do not hold our destiny in our own hands and we rely on others results.

    each of the last 9 games in the league have been this biggest game of the season.
    arsenal lost
    utd lost
    everton lost
    stoke draw
    chelsea draw
    swansea win yayyyyyyyyy
    sunderland draw
    norwich lost
    qpr lost
    i honestly wouldnt be suprised if we didnt win any of the remaining games but we spurs fans are masochists and theres always hope.1 win could kick start the belief in the players to get the job done.

    Leave out VDV and start Defoe? Don't make me laugh! VDV gives more in 60 minutes than Defoe does in an entire game. Leave Mr Offside on the bench and bring him on with 20 to go.As for Ledley past his sell by date.
    Agree with you on Kaboul though ;)

    Does he though mate ? At least the little fella works hards and chases fellas down, and stays up front which helps..VDV spends most of his time trotting around with his beyonce bum popping along with him.
    In saying that, VDV's best asset is probably getting important goals, which helps !!

    Yeah VDV regularly covers the most distance of any of our players.

    Thats not a good thing when he is supposed to be playing in the hole behind the striker

    Whats the point in him floating around the back 4

    Totally agree. But the point was made that VDV doesn't work hard, which I don't agree with.

    If Harry told him to stay in the hole and for our wingers to actually play on the wings, I think we may stand a chance.

    BAE out for rest of season.

    Team for me has to be:

    Fridel
    Walker................King..............................Kaboul..............Rose
    Lennon...................Parker.....................Modric................Bale
    ......................................VDV..........................................
    .........................................Ade..........................................


    Its essential to play the wide players wide and not for Bale to come inside. Not a huge fan of Rose but no other option.

    Rose can't do any worse than BAE has been doing for the last while.

    In fairness he offers pace, enthusiasm and a bit of trickery, and will be dying to prove his worth for the last few games of the season. Could be a big chance for him so let's hope he takes it.

    Rose covered the remaining games of last season and was outstanding. C'mon Danny, time to shine!

    Rose a perfect replacement, should have had a lot more game time before now.

    Have to agree, give the kid a run. Can't get much worse at this stage so let him show his worth. Not too long ago bale got a similar chance and while I am pissed off he won't stay wide left there is no disputing what he's done for us. COYS

    Steve kean reckons he can get a result against us today. Says he has a plan and tactics to hit out weaknesses

    Most likely this means playing 11 behind the ball and cramming the midfield with players and hitting us on the break

    I don't see why not, streams are openly talked about on the site so it's no difference in creating a social group.

    Be different if it was torrents on the film forum Ya know?
