Spursy had to take a new form
I agree, said the same thing earlier. Rose looked better and better as the game went on, and he will just push on further with another 90 minutes. Alderweirald, Wanyama and Winks definitely needed that game, and another one, and it helps Moura get in tune with the game plan.
Play 10 of the same starting 11 at Wembley, but with Lamela for Son. It's all good.
As if this is something new in football. Lincoln beat Burnley, Wimbledon beat Liverpool.
Wrexham beat Woolwich when bottom of the old 4th division,
Woolwich played Seaman, Dixon, Winterburn, Adams O’Leary rocastle, Merson, Smith and Campbell .
Southern league Hereford beat Newcastle
Shrewsbury beat Everton
League one Bradford beat Chelsea at SB 2015 ffs.
Anyway
We didn’t lose

Yeah you’re right.
Play the same team.
I’d stick with Son though, for at least 60 mins,
He’ll probably score at Wembley.
I see it as a good thing. As a fan it means I get to see another game without having to wait for my football fix. How can that be a bad thing? Also I think sometimes you play better when the games come thick and fast and we have a large squad with everyone fit. If we had injuries then it'd be different but players need games. It's not like we are going to lose the tie at home.
I would hope In this day and age the team is picked on merit, colour of skin, race or sexual orientation shouldn’t have fuck all to do with it, it’s about how good you are at football, but I’m also a believer in that if for instance 11 coloured players are the best 11 then let them play, we shouldn’t have to pick 1asiaN and 1white and 1 Indian player who might not be as good but we just to make it fairer and more PC, it should go by who is the best, but like I said before it’s not the 60s any more , surely this kind of thing doesn’t still exist in football?
Interesting read here about the first ever black manager in the English game: Tony Collins' Rochdale success serves as a sad reminder of football's whitewashed history
We could quite easily have had at least 3 black players on at the end: hopefully, one of them, Calvin Andrew, will be available for the replay.

Really are we debating Rochdale squads lack of black players.
BAME players make up 33% of the PL.
considering BAME make up 13% of the UK population.
Don’t know what the percentages are in other leagues. But really.
Rochdale had a BAME manager ( mixed like Hughton) in the 60’s. First to do so, and have black players in the squad today
I thinks you’ll find the are more Asian than Black in Rochdale.
The majority being Irish or UK white.
I presume Rochdale will mainly have to recruit youth locally as the best youngsters will be snapped up by Greater Manchester’s other bigger clubs.
Maybe ask why there are a lack of Asians in football. Which seems mad.

Shit I didn’t see this post.
I didn’t plagiarise......honest
Does it matter the colour of the players skin?
lol please dont fall for this race baiting bullshit. theresult was brown ok? poop brown, all over spurs faces
Awww please stop, anyone would think we are a shit league 1 club, oh hang on a minute !
I thought WE were the Lilly Whites?
Apologies if offence was taken, theres wasn't any intended.
It shouldn't...
But seemingly it still does to some!
I'm gagging (no pun intended) for a Spurs player or 2 to come out.

Don’t why some idiots are trying to score points against Rochdale. They put on a damn good show in every way. There’s was plenty of singing from them throughout. The atmosphere was good. They let away fans into their clubhouse bar. Were a good laugh in general. Played a good game. Gives me another night away from screaming kids and a grumpy wife with a few beers and decent curry in Wembley. Mind you I lose next Monday, which I was looking forward to. A lot.
In 81 and 82 we never played a game in cup outside Londonhas any team ever won the FA cup by winning every game at Wembley?
