Taarabt, looks very impressive. I hope the loan will be permanent. I think he will be something like Zidane not Ribery....he showed flashes of that!! That few minutes or so, already makes me think that he is good!!

yes tainio is improving game after game. he looks see woon see woon but is very good with winning the balls or destroying play.

that was the first match i saw taarabt play. west ham players had to target him for a fall whenever he gets possession. superb.

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.

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

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.

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.
Bros Castrol, perhaps we can split a cold beer then?

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.
