Dark Munster

You obviously missed his succession of superb corners, free kicks and crosses.

Yes, which means we should go hell for leather for both cups. Play the strongest team for cup games, and bring in a goal scorer. Who isn't cup tied.

This. We haven't been missing a decent manager this season. We've been missing a decent goal scorer.

Senegal have qualified for the knockout stage (he scored in both their wins). So yes.

So who would settle for a defeat tomorrow and a draw/win against the scousers?

Ditto.

Bring in someone this window who can score goals, and a decent replacement for Fonte, then we can judge him. At the end of the season.

And guess who's bottom? Again. With just 1 player a slight doubt. I say bring in Nasty Nigel as our fitness/sports science coach. He seems to have set up something special up there. Either that, or they are extremely lucky with injuries. Just like they were last year.

I'd prefer someone who can score goals.

How many bloody strikers do Stoke have?

For those who were there tonight, how many cracks were papered over tonight?

I think both managers had a coin toss before the match, with the understanding that the loser of the toss would throw it in time added on if it was still a draw at 90 minutes.

Good call.

Ok, time for both goalies to come off and replaced by attackers.

Lots of excitement now. First 2 subs whose names begin with R replacing 2 players whose names also begin with R. Then that near miss.

"Yes! Oh, no!"

Whispering Dave "An early goal will help."

That's an interesting possibility.

Agreed. Any positive post about Spurs is completely unacceptable. Even if it's done through gritted teeth.

The last thing either team wants is extra time. So I suggest a gentlemen's agreement that if a team is winning with 10 minutes left, the losing team throws in the towel. None of this 92nd minute equaliser nonsense. If no one is winning with 10 minutes left, both teams agree to sub their goalies for an outfield player. BTW, any chance there will be a dodgy stream tomorrow?

Compare that to the conversion rate against us. It seems to be close to 100% recently.

That's my view too. Let's go for it.

"When I started, we were a comparatively small club. In the revenue ranking of the clubs, we were ranked 63rd in the world. Today we are ranked 17th.” Naughty boy Ralph, most of that comes from the massive increase in Sky revenues.

If we don't bring in a striker it'll be deafening.

That's a good point, but we did spend in the summer. He could've got an out and out striker instead of Redmond for example.
