Fantastic result today. Lots of positives looking at that performance, Mark Davies looked a breath of fresh air, Puygrenier looks very solid, Big Kev did the job. Just hope we can nail 3 or 4 more results like that between now and the end of the season so we can survive for another year.
Negatives are losing a 2 goal lead twice in a week, they need to find a leader in the back 4 and quickly.

| Think most posts sum it up for me. All I'll add is Mark Davies has already done more for us than Kevin Nolan has done in the past three years for us. What an excellent player. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of him.

Spurs is "the" Jewish club and as a result gets a lot of anonymous donations from the rich members of the Jewish community (which is quite big in that area of North London). Has done for years. Probably the safest club in the country, financially.
Great. Why couldn't they choose a more worthy club like Barnet or Boreham Wood. In fact anyone but Spurs...or the scum...or newcastle...or everton...or sunderland....or west ham... or millwall....i think that complates my 'most hated' .
Would you hate them as much if they weren't a club with seemingly unlimited money and a set of fans who are slightly too arrogant because they know that, and know they'll never really be in queer street?
I think in your situation Barnet or Borehamwood would be in Spurs' position and hated just as much.
Apart from the Scum and Tranmere I just dislike those clubs that claim to be "big" when they have won at most a carling cup in the last 20 years (Spuds, see above; Spam, Newcastle, City). Millwall I don't particularly hate - I just don't want their fans any where near Bolton.

| Fantastic result. Mark Davies superb. Letting the 2 goal lead slip was disappointing, but I think that's down to confidence. This result will hopefully turn the corner. Our midfield is looking better. I can't say we missed Nolan - but of course it's early days. Well done Mego.

Palacios should not have played in this match as he has only served one match of a two match ban

Interesting.
Would we be awarded a 3-0 win if that was the case?
That would be superb for our goal difference!Last edited on Sun Feb 1st, 2009 10:18 am by KeawYeadWhite

Any other club yep.
But we support BW and the powers that be will just say the result will stand.
Hope it doesn't come down to goal difference at the end of the season.

Right, as I'm bored;
Palacios picked up his tenth booking of the season on 17 Jan v City, thus picking up a two match suspension.
He then signed for Spurs on 21 Jan. Spurs had two games since then, Utd in the cup and Stoke in the league. Palacious was in neither squad.
Looks like his two match suspension applied for those games. If so, he would have been eligible to play against us.

Some thoughts from the Bear:
Again not a lot wrong with the performance apart from a period in the second half.
For all Spurs possession in the second half they didn't make Jussi make many saves ... until they scored. Then we went into panic mode. We defended the area well, but really we need to defend slightly further up the pitch. Spurs went to a very expansive game ie two wide men to stretch the game. This gives plenty of space to play in ie the opposition will give you a chance. The way to counteract it is to take advantage of the space by keeping the ball and manoeuvring around their smaller number of players (because two are stuck out wide). For this period we didn't keep the ball very well - hence Spurs had pressure.
The good thing was that when it was 2-2 we took control of the game again. 'Arry seemed to think that we had one attack at the end and scored. It wasn't so. At 2-2 it was noticeable how we settled down again (until the inexplicable 4 minutes of injury time and panic set in again)
Jussi: Decent game.
Steinsson: Decent game.
Samuel: Had a difficult time against Lennon in the second half. Although some extra help would be nice. Lennon does like to turn inside a lot. Some cover there would prevent this. Decent going forward.
Puygrenier: Started looking a bit dodgy (first ten) then settled down to be commanding.
Cahill: Dominant
Muamba: Another strong, effective, performance. His tackling / disruption on some talented players was vital.
Taylor: Looked good again.
Gardner: Whilst his distribution wasn't great his skill and pace is always a danger. This is what won us the first goal free kick.
M. Davies: Looked like a footballer from the first touch. He moves like a footballer and played superbly. Enough said. Why have we had to put up with others for so long?
K. Davies: Superb. This is Kev at his super best. Shearer admires him because he reminds him of himself! Strength power and goals. Lead by example. Just cut out the silly celebration - Shearer did just one hand - always looked good.
Makukula: Doesn't look up to the pace yet. Time will tell. Good to see he-who-shall-not-be-named took the bold step of replacing him with Smolarek.
Smolarek: Some good moments. Looked a bit lightweight when Woodgate eased him off the ball.
O'Brien: Solid
It looked to me that Bent scuffed the ball for his first goal. Imagine if he'd missed from there. Which relative would 'Arry have thought could have scored it? His great, great, granddad's, sister's, uncle's, brother!
Am I the only who thinks that Spurs are trying to buy back all their old players? Defoe, Chimbonda, Keane? I heard 'Arry has put bids in for Gilzean, Chivers and Ralph Coates! (That's going back a bit)
Anyway vital points. Just carry on with that Spurs are too good to go down talk - so were West Ham (oh happy days).

Since I'm just as sad as everyone else.
Palacious was cup tied for the Utd game as he had played for Wigan in the Cup ironically against Spurs and he got booked. He couldn't have been in the squad for that game. Does it count as one of his suspended games. I don't know?

This is what I had been told too ^
I doubt it will have any effect on us though, but maybe on Spurs?

... with Palacious playing as he had now served his suspension!
He also got booked the next week ... against Spurs again! Teams normally sign players who play well or score against them. Spurs go for players that get booked against them. Strange?

Harry did say he wanted some steel in midfield to put the foot in. He may as well have signed Scholes.

Former Wigan Athletic midfield man Wilson Palacios made his debut for Tottenham Hotspur against Bolton Wanderers yesterday but surely he was suspended and therefore ineligible to play.
Palacios picked up his 10th booking of the season in Wigan Athletics game at Eastlands on 17th January and thus instigating an automatic 2 match ban, if he had stayed at the Latics Palacios would have missed the Liverpool game last Wednesday and yesterdays visit to Aston Villa.
He left the Latics on the 21st of January for Spurs, still with a two game suspension hanging over him.
In the time since signing Palacios Spurs have played Burnley away in the Carling Cup, that wont count because Palacios is ineligible having featured for the Latics in that competition, then Spurs faced Manchester United in the FA cup again Palacios had already featured this time he actually played against Spurs.
The next game for Tottenham was the 3-1 home win against Stoke City on Tuesday 27th January and this was the first fixture that Wilson Palacios served part of his punishment the next game was yesterdays visit to the Reebok and by my reckoning that would have given Palacios his second game suspension, but he played?
Strange that a suspension could be overlooked by the Tottenham administration if there is a reason that he played I would love to hear it but I thought that the rules said 10 bookings two game suspension and those two games the player had to be eligible to play in also

Droylesden got booted out of the cup (having won the game) and the same happended to Bury. As Spurs lost to us it, if an offence has been committed (needs proving), then the penalty is either a fine (nonsense to a team that can spend £40m on transfers in days) or a points deduction.
Wont happen - someone will find an excuse - only Boro have suffered that fate. Big 4 and London clubs are exempt points decuctions.

| Why doesn't one of you put that to the club. PG might not be aware of the situation. I'm sure a chance for PG to be in the media wouldn't go amiss.

As we won we have nothing to complain about. If any of the other clubs feel disgruntled let them wade through the fog that is the FA Rule Book and complain. Chesterfield only complained about Droylesden because they lost.
Is that the sound of a broom sweeping some dust under the carpet at the FA?

| Not a chance that Spurs will get a points deduction. The Premier League don't have the bottle to punish a 'massive club'.

I sent an email to 606 tonight to explaining the Palacios situation. Guess what... it didn't get read out!
Looked on the FA website to see if it is worth contacting them.
Of course Spurs won't get punished but it certainly would be embarrassing for them. I mean West ham played almost every game last season with an illegal player (and sometimes two) and didn't get any points taken off. They ain't going to punish Spurs for just one offence. The precedence was set.

i think your all completely out of order with your attitude towards the FA
if Spurs HAVE broken the rules they will be punished - all this "oh its Spurs, so they will get away with it!" is just nonsence
p.s. i hear Satan is skating to work tomorrow

Spurs dominated this match for about 20 minutes. - Redknapp "pummiling them"
Today Sunderland dominated Newcastle for about 88 minutes - JOKEnnier - "only one winner, camped in their half"
are these people fcuking mental?

It's easily explained.
Far better to exonerate yourself as a manager to say 'we were camped in their half but just couldn't get the ball in the net', than to say, 'they dominated us and I didn't have a clue how to stop them'.
It helps them sleep better anyway.

Newcastle were all over them in the second half. Gutierrez was causing them allsorts of problems. Just ashame their two strikers couldn't finish!

Have to quote today's telegraph:
The Davies boys provided Bolton with the sensual difference between the two teams. One a bludgeoning front man, masterful in the air, resilient to the last; the other youthful, nimble, imaginative, infectious.
Couldn't put it better myself, long may it continue.

Paul Merson has already had his say on our new signing. Before the game had ended, he said that if Davis carried on playing this way, he wouldn't be at Bolton for long.
