Should've played Defoe instead of Dempsey. Dempsey is only a squad player!
Aside from the odd spell here and there I have not been at all impressed with the style of play Spurs are playing this season. Hopefully once we get the likes of Scotty,Kaboul,Dembele,Benoit and ade (If he stops sulking) back things may look brighter. I have yet to see anything worthy of a place in the team for Dempsey & siguardson and JD really needs to put more chances away & lastly despite his age Brad is still our more consistant keeper. Oh and put Hudders on a diet please
I love how the yids are playing down this trophy when it's the only trophy they've won since their last in 99. Getting a bit too big for their shoes me thinks.
@Gooner, same as what happened yesterday, the underdog losing
C,O,Y,Sheep
Sack the useless so-called Manager Andre Villas-Boas immediately to save the reputation and perhaps relegation of Tottenham Hotspurs FC. Bring back Harry Rednapp!
Cool! C'mon u spurs :).... pointless cup
Well played Norwich, deserved winners.
Nice Vertonghen sub on just to score own goal...
o WELL played NORWICH you deserved the win spurs where #$%$ like allways :)
You"ve got your Tottenham back !
Huddlestone and Townsend should be playing at Barnet! They're a disgrace to the badge
I have been a spurs supporter since the bill nicholson era, but after tonights performance, topplace at end of season were having a laugh
levy you have realy f***ed spurs up thanks
@ dan dan... Have you been eating tainted carrots boy????
About time Yahoo added the opportunity to rate the ref...
If Spurs do not get more Bale like players we're never going to move on..
Good for you Norwich, the LC should be for the lower clubs. The ecstasy of winning for a Norwich fan is only equaled by the total lack of interest by most Spurs fans
Never, ever use Dempsey to take a penalty. NEVER. He missed them regularly at Fulham.
