Spurs nothing to Brag about
From PAT SHEEHAN in Braga
March 08, 2007

JOSE MOURINHO says Tottenham are not a great side and their UEFA Cup dream will end in tears here.

The Chelsea boss, who takes on Spurs in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final, reckons the Portuguese minnows can upset the odds tonight.

And then his Blues will make it a double dose of cup misery at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho’s best pal, Eladio Parames, runs Braga while the coach is former Charlton defender Jorge Costa who played under the ‘Special One’ at Porto.

The Chelsea chief said: “Tottenham are a good team but not a great team.

“Braga have to get a good result at home and they can do that by being well organised.

“As for the FA Cup, it is the only English competition I have not won so I would like to do it this season.”

Braga are nicknamed The Arsenalists — reminding Martin Jol’s men of their fierce North London rivals. They also play in red.

Mourinho is hoping he can sneak into White Hart Lane for the second leg next Wednesday.

He said: “When Portugal played Brazil at the Emirates, I was there in a corner, hidden. If it’s possible, I’ll be at White Hart Lane.”

LIKELY LINE-UPS — SPURS: Robinson, Chimbonda, Dawson, Gardner, Lee, Ghaly, Zokora, Tainio, Lennon, Berbatov, Keane.
BRAGA: Santos, Felipe, Jorge, Rodriguez, Fernandes, Diego, Vandinho, Andrade, Chaves, Wender, Ze Carlos.

Seems a tricky match.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

FA CUP QUARTER FINAL
Chelsea 3 Spurs 3

What a game!! lots of heart stopping moment.....but the football can improve. Too many silly mistakes in the Spurs defence - Im not going into what the opponent did:) Still Spurs had a chance to take it away after Chelsea levelled it at 3-3. But that how it goes, if you dun take your chance you will never win. Hope we get back at lease Keane for the replay and hope Berbatov groin injury not that serious too....


I like what Jol did by responding to Mourinho claim that Spurs is not a great team.....Jol said something along this line....Spurs is not a great team, Chelsea is a great team....a humble person who forever cushion pressure on his players. I think Spurs supporters must be as humble as him:)

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Chelsea fought back to 3-3 from 2 goals down at half time in a FA Cup 6th rd tie, without Terry, seemed sensational like the papers put it.

I wonder if Spurs had the 2 days of extra rest like Chelsea and had Robinson and Keano match fit would they have pulled it off at Stamford Bridge. Not forgetting Spurs have their club captain, King, out injured as well.

Mourinho AGAIN accused the ref of bad decisions. Maybe Sir Alex is right, a little bit only lah. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Amazing, heart stopping action end to end (saw only last 20mins after making out with FL). Was grinning ear to ear (not from FL bit) and hoping against hope that spurs held out to 2-3 till closing minutes *haiz*. Aisay, that jenas cross bar was CLOSE.. Consolation is replay at white hart lane to spur on spurs. :D
Bros Castrol, perhaps we can split a cold beer then?:p

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

bro at least you got a FL, i got nothing to hold on to as the game keeps me on the edge of my seat. the cross bar hit in the dying mins was by defoe actually.

i started watching at half time when ian rush was describing the 1st half. 1-3 the score, unbelievable!

well still, that was chelsea. spurs brought in gardner as a 5th defender at 2-3 but it was not enough.

ok lets split a cold beer on a hot day for now, spurs will finish off chelsea in white hart lane and free flow of ice cold beer will be on me. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

so bro it is replay for spurs and man utd, home turf advantage! spurs vs man utd FA cup final is still on. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

spurs defence was like garlang garbo in the 2nd half. and i am not sure why dawson was the captain of the day, but come to think of it, there really wasnt any senior player on the pitch for spurs.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

bro, can ask jol to do something about the defence or not? u guys have the most lethal attack in the premiership (at least on paper), but the defence was shambolic!!! was hoping for an upset right in the lion's den... haiz...

i m back, still wanna go drinking???;)

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

hello bro, you're back! where have you been? last i heard you were in vietnam with some girls... so you bring back any panties for us?

spurs' defence has always been as legendary as their attacks but the defence is for the wrong reasons though. jol asked me to psycho lucio to join next season. i may need to buy rummenigge a drink first. when are we drinking bro?

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

working lah... vietnam only stopover. didnt really have time to go out. then worst thing happened! posted to US and just came back. fl market there are in the pits!!! :mad: came back and found that wife-to-be up to no good. but no time to do anything about it cos now preparing for my reports. will try to jio u by the end of the week... u ok with drinks and some action???;)

and very smart hor, brazil also legendary in producing good defenders. buy brazilian defender somemore... might as well buy me that drink and i convince lim tong hai (contract must have scoring own goal bonus) and aide iskandar (contract must have getting red card bonus) to join spurs. then confirm make the news with the famous ALL NEW 4 queens defence again...

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

we matched tat in the 1st half.:(

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Yes, the FA cup final date is still on but the chances of Utd making it is diminishing like its no. of fit players. :(

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

bro take it easy with your wife-to-be, just a few whips here and there will do. :p

lim tong hai and iskander! lidat next season spurs team better join s-league, sure top table!

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Fantastic match, we would probably have been happy with a draw before the game but the way things went I and all Spurs fans are gutted. That would have been such a great win at Chelski. With Terry back for the replay they will be more organised at the back. I dont know what everybody else feels but I thought taking Berbatov off was a big mistake. He is pure quality and causing so many problems for Chelski,he is also a great hold up player and natural outlet when we are under pressure. By taking him off it just invited pressure on ourselves and as a result we gave up a great position. Saying all that it was a great performance and how much better things look now than a month or so ago. Well done you Spurs you made us proud of you today.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

with aide in defence, i doubt it. he would make a last ditch tackle, fail, give away a penalty and fatally injuring robinson in the process. while arguing about the red card with the ref, he tried to headbutt the ref, missed and knocked zakora out cold. keane comes over to tell him to get off the field but he doesnt understand a word of england and blames it on the schlang... all this after jol has made all his substitions! how to win??? just kidding... great to see the spurs attack firing on all cylinders and that keane goal from an acute angle, splendid!!! (u know which one or not, spurs fan?) epitomises so much confidence in himself. just need to get good defenders in, then maybe can push man u to 5th spot next season. ;)

by the way, the whip idea is good. but use it on the guy or my wife-to-be, soon to be ex???:confused: whip with glass shards better idea or not?

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

I think taking out zokora has got to do with it. Tainio and Zokora has provide lots of bite to the midfield. So when he is gone, Chelsea have more time to plan the attack from midfield. Having an extra central defender in the final minutes did not help this time. I think Dawson is a natural leader but i think he is burdened by that appointment as can see that he 'wanted' to score a few on goals!! hehe...but he will be a good leader for them in the long run. I hope that Keane will come back for the replay and i hope that Berbatov groin problem is not serious...i truly believe that these 2 got better partnership than Defoe with Berbatov at this moment.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Bro, if im no wrong, Berbatov was taken out as a precaution for a groin strain that he has during the match...so it is better that he has some rest....Spurs need him for the rest of the season...

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

maybe robbie should talk in a sexier way which did the trick before.

oh about the whip on the guy, you may need to consider as he may take a liking to you after that. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

hahaha, agreed. she confessed last nite, so i got by tonite to decide whether to continue or not. no mood to work now, although f**king busy.

read some of the previous post, found that u wanted me to get a jersey for u. how about going and get it yourself? flying to london in may for work, join me if u want to as hotel accomodation (separate bed lah), dinner and some entertainment all ah gong pay, maybe u can manage to catch a game or two. i might even be able to get some tix from my colleagues there but most likely for gunners, u want???:D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

it is always a screw up whenever the manager puts in an extra defender and ended up losing the lead. anyway as putrawk put it, we would have been pleased with a draw before the start of the match.

i watched the highlights and it seems all the goals in that game are quite lucky goals if i may say so, except the kalou volley. even ghaly's one-on-one goal was made possible by 3 chelsea players who were expecting each other to go for the challenge. :D
