Good performance all things considered. Lots of positives, deserved a win but I'll settle for a point.

Very disappointed by the 'you don't know what you're doing' chants though. Feeds my fear that there are people out there that are just waiting for us to go wrong, so that they can revel in being 'right'.

Some of our fans are absolute cunts.

:balesnarl:
 
Just got in from the game.
Overall I'm gutted we dropped more points at home but really I was impressed by how the players never gave up on trying to rescue something from the game.

Negatives:
both our centre backs getting bullied by anichebe of all people. I at least expected caulker as a big unit to be able to deal with him but he just wasn't aggressive enough.
Dempsey. I don't really rate him but I also don't go into games with a chip on my shoulder about any one player. However today I failed to spot one really meaningful contribution.
Holtby. Tidy and energetic but still seems to
Be finding his way
The officials. Some really inconsistent and piss poor decisions
Defending from corners seems to have slipped. Don't know what the fuck we were doing for their first goal.

Positives:
Gylfi was brilliant today. His best game in a spurs shirt IMO
Huddlestone, despite the boos about the decision to take dembele off, was excellent with his passing and have us a different dimension to our attacking play. I'm guessing dembele was tired or had a knock but his ball carrying style wasn't really working against everton's defence. Hudd was able to inf some great balls in behind them to stretch them a bit.
Ade. Lead the line well and a decent goal. End of the day he has his limitations but that's not his fault. He played to the best of his ability.
Tommy Carroll. Not much time to make an impact but very impressed with how he came on in a pressure game and demanded the ball whenever possible, spraying it around nicely.
And finally just the fact we managed to play relatively well without bale or Lennon (not to mention Sandro, Defoe and Kaboul)

Nice rest now for 10 days after the Europa league game and hopefully we'll get back to close to full strength ready for the final run in.

COYS!!!

I'm still positive. I don't give a fuck if we're 20th and getting relegated. I'm supporting my club.

Just back from the game, and echoing what has been said, unbelievable what Everton are allowed to get away with, Parker had to have his shorts pulled off him before anything was giving for shirt pulling, and how they are allowed to just barge people away from headers, back into them, and just generally obstruct them beggars belief. I also agree with all that has been said around the positives from today. We shoulda won it.

Sickening that Chelsea get a win with an own goal and a lucky deflection...

I was told off by a steward today for singing "Yid Army" - "you're not supposed to use that word!". I paused for a second to consider having the political argument with him, but settled for just telling him to fuck off, and he duly obliged.

At least it wernt one of your own fans telling you to sit down for standing up when we had a chance !!!
Not only did "our get a goal and sit back "approach piss me off in the first half but i was shocked and fucked off by the atmosphere that greeted me in block 27 ( east lower). Now normally i aim to sit anywhere in south lower or as near to the south stand in east lower as possible cause thats where you actually get to support your team nowadays in white hart lane ,but because i did not want to miss any matches in the run in i snapped up a ticket on the ticket exchange when it became availible in east lower. Now block 27 is on the halfway line which i thought would still have a decent atmosphere but i was shocked to be surrounded by so called "fans" who made more noise talking during the half time interval then they did during the whole 90 mins. Came to a point where i snapped at the guy for telling me to sit down whilst we had a chance or he will report me to the stewards. I told him and the other silent grumpy cunts around us just what i thought of their support loud and clear and that i paid my money so i can support the team as i wish. Its fucking sad to think the scum down the road probably have an equal atmosphere to us cause for since i can remember that was the one thing we always had over them ! Real, true, noisy fans who would sing for the shirt come rain or shine.

And this is starting to transfer on to the pitch. 6 games left now and a quarter final coming up and instead of cheering every kick, challenge , shot and effort the lane has become a place it seems our players dont enjoy very much. Remember last year when kyle walker would drive down the right wing ? When ade would turn on the ball and try to break past the defence ? They no longer want to go that extra mile and take the risk because they know if it goes tits up the crowd will be on their backs quicker then they can say sorry to their team mates. So what you get is what we saw today kyle walker in plenty of space on the right looking for the simple ball inside, adebayor holding up play ( fucking finally ) to then slow down play by playing the ball backwards. Its not a coincidence this is happening game in game out, just take a look at how many points we have dropped at home this year.

As for the match today i feel we played well without kaboom, bale, lennon, sandro, defoe and some of the other guys stepped up very well today, hundrestone in the last 15 really suprised me with the way he spread the ball around when he came on. Hugo was incredible today and adebayor pulled his finger out ( lets not get to excited) someone needs to have a word with scotty because like its been mentioned his penetrating runs just dont work and the energy he uses doing them should be used in breaking up play which he is a master in. At times today he looked lost in the middle cause after driving forward he had no legs to get back. Big jan should be played at centreback at all times and avb needs to stop shuffling that back four because its starting to get a bit to complacent now. All in all a good effort just a shame about the final result. Lets look ahead to thursday and lets try our best to get a cup unlike those wankers down the road. And if your lucky enough to be there sing your hearts out for the shirt cause we need it !!!

Sorry, I only just got to read this.

I had to take a beautiful woman to breakfast before heading off to Tottenham. A situation I'm sure a man of your calibre is very familiar with.

I might have read better if you didn't type like you're drunk. Mea culpa. I'll try harder in future.

Anyway, it's a shame I've only seen this now, we could've arranged to meet somewhere before the game, so you could call me that to my face.

Would you like to meet up for a chat before the City game? Maybe I can chill you out, as you seem to have a lot of pent-up anger and aggression, which can't be healthy.

Alternatively I could just knock you half way to Dalston.
 
Anyone else in block 31?? Make yourselves known, we need to create a fucking atmosphere for this one...
90 minutes of non-stop singing would be nice, then at least we can say WE played our part!So fucking up for this right now.,. Let's finally make this season count for something!

COYS!
 
I was furious when Hudd came on for Dembele, but he changed the game, was fantastic. Maybe this is what his future holds coming on late in games to spray balls all over the pitch. Just wish he had taken Dempsey off rather than Dembele.
 
I would go with this...

-----------------------------------Lloris-------------------------------------


--------------Dawson----------------------------- Vertonghen-------------

Walker-----------------------------------------------------------------B.A.E

-------------------Parker--------------------Carroll-------------------------

-----------------------------Dembele----------------------------------------

-------------------Holtby--------------------------Siggurdson---------------

--------------------------------Adebayor------------------------------------
 
Ade, Siggy, and Walker all superb. Huddlestone changed the game when he came on.

Inspired substitution from Andre "I don't know what I'm doing" Villas Boas.

Just the millionth reminder to a lot of you that there is a reason you aren't football coaches.

Anyone notice Evertons new defensive technique.

Like the likes of Stoke before them where negative play against the spirit of the rules, because its "them" it seems to be allowed.

Obstruction. Deliberate and tactical obstruction. Well done Moyes, a new low.

The referee and lines people were more than accommodating as well.

How we had the same number of bookings as them is a fucking joke.
