the word is spurs fielded 19 players when the rules clearly state you can only field 18. I'm inclined to think next gen gave spur the choice to leave with dignity in tack or be booted out in disgrace.

Hopefully Ngoo is on the bench and Morgo starts.
I'd play Adorjan just behind him. Suso and Raheem on the wings. Coady and Shelvey in midfield. Hopefully Robbo and Flanno as fullbacks.

i was at the game with mr moo, was a great performance by us and we were desperately unlucky to lose; have to say i was dreading a late equaliser, though, because i've never been so fucking cold in all my life.
have to disagree with Modo re Suso being the best player. surely it's as clear as day that Sterling is our best prospect by a long, long, distance. he had a quiet opening half hour, but after that was the best player on the pitch; just absolutely destroyed their right back time and again. has a little way to go with his final product, as you'd expect of a 17 year old, but he's one of the most talented english youngsters i've seen in a long time: all the pace, skill, trickery, and balance in the world. i wouldn't be surprised if he made the odd appearance this season, if the circumstances are right at some point.
thought are other front 3 were all good in certain ways, less so in others. Ngoo's finishing was laughably bad: he reminded me of a centre half getting a chance when up for a corner or something: just looked completely nonplussed in front of goal. i'd say Silva and Suso both have better chances of making it, but wouldn't bet on either. Suso has no physical attributes to speak of, so that's a massive disadvantage in the PL, and Silva... well, i like him, but he's definitely a bit short on class.
not sure about Coady. i doubt he has enough about him to make it as a central midfielder for us - maybe he could be a bit of a utility player. Wisdom and McLaughlin both look to have every chance, though: both obviously have the desired mix of athleticism and technique.

My point is they made a mistake, realised and owned up - not "cheat and got caught" as you put it.

Whether they cheated and got caught, or cheated and admitted it, justice was surely done when the withdrew from the competition.
[/quote]
With that I was referencing the match itself and not the situation. Fans and pundits and like often get caught up with who deserved to win a football match, which is often nonsense. As Agger recently said, anything can happen in a football match and those who take their chances deserve to go through.

the word is they had 19 in the squad and you are only allowed 18. it's entirely possible the 19th player wasn't even on the bench which is ridiculously harsh on the 16 players on the pitch and bench.

So? You break the rules, you get caught (or you admit to it), you get thrown out, and you deserve to. Everyone involved knows the rules, or at least they should do.
I don't get what the issue is.

were you there then Neil? does that also mean you're based in London? if so a few of us have started meeting occasionally in Clapham (could be wherever, though, really) to watch games. see the London Reds thread in general chat - there might be a meeting for the Spurs game on monday if enough of us can make it.
anyway, i'm just not buying this line from Modo that Suso is our best youngster. yeh, he's talented, and basically had a good game on wednesday, but even then he faded horribly before being taken off. at this stage i'm not even sure he should be playing ahead of Adorjan, although i can see why he does because he seems to have the greater potential. Sterling has a far better chance of making it here imo: i'd put him at 90%+ to be a first team player in 5 years, with Suso no more than 30-40%.

anyone who thinks suso had a better game than sterling is crazy. raheem was the best player on the pitch by miles. that said suso was quite good first half but faded badly.
