Jesus, losing to a League Two side is bad

Also, I hate pitch invasions and I reckon it's time clubs got fined for mass pitch invasions. It's unsafe.

Its a good job they won, if not that tit that took the panenka would be getting an awful bollocking in the dressing room.

They always half ass the cups, who the hell is Parrot or Tanganga? I didnt even think Wanyama was still at Spurs after all those injuries. The team they put out looks rubbish, Moura played, I guess that is something.
Parrot is pretty well rated at Spurs, played a fair bit in pre season for them. Don't know much about Tanganga though, I didn't watch the game so no idea if Tottenham were just unlucky, but based on 19 shots and only 4 on target, seems to suggest they were just a bit poor going forward tonight.

As good a manager as Poch is, I'm really not a fan of his approach for the cup competitions when realistically they're his best chance of a trophy.

Yeah let’s fine a poor league 2 club because their fans wanted to celebrate them beating last years champions league runners up, great idea...

Fifth pen for Crawley, they are 4 -3 up and they score the fifth and knock out Stoke.

I never understand them half arsing the cups. They think they're bigger then going hard for the smaller trophies even though they haven't won a thing in ages. Laughable.

It just makes completely no sense, if they'd won 4 or 5 trophies in the last few years I'd say fair enough but they said they need to win something soon themselves and than threw away one of the most winnable competitions.

I can see us doing a Spurs tomorrow night, as much I don't want us to. Can't see Klopp wanting these ties wedged in the schedule before Xmas, hope I'm wrong.

I guess it all comes back to the gravy train that is the CL. Clubs just do not care about the cups when there is astronomical amounts of money to be had in the CL. The funny thing is, the fans still care, just not the accountants.

Isn’t Colchester a bit shite? How could they beat Spurs? Pocchetino to get a sack tomorrow, perhaps...

Yeah has to be orders from above to make top 4 a priority or something.

One of their fans went up to Gazzaniga and got right in his face. You have fans crowding round Spurs players... Anything could happen really.

Wouldn't be surprised if we lost this.

I know a lad who went to the match last night at Col U, he ran on the pitch after the match and got a photo on his phone of the keepers penalty notes.

Apparently even mk dons are fielding a weakened team.
