I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but on a day when we've been hugely professional, put away a lower league team comfortably, without getting out of 2nd gear, and shown a top class attitude &approach from the off, we have the usual "pick out an unfavoured player and slaughter him" bollocks.

Today it appears to be Gedson.

Here's the reality of his game tonight, it was quietly effective. He controlled the middle of the park when Sissoko went off, always showed for the ball, recycled it well without fuss and generally provided a controlled & professional display. He'd have capped off a good performance with an assist if Doherty had been a fraction quicker to his through ball near the end.

Some of you pillocks really need to give your heads a wobble. It doesn't matter who the opposition were, he was given a role to play within the team framework and he did exactly what was required.

I honestly cannot think of another fanbase that has so many fans ACTIVELY look for one of their own players to hate so often.

Fucking sickening at times.
I've supported Spurs for nearly 50 years mate, our support has always had that fickle element lurking within it.

You always look for those individuals who are willing to put in a real shift during these games which seem bereft of a real competitive nature but fair play to some of you, you've managed to still make asses of yourselves even during this.

Got to be honest I loved that match. It’s what the FA cup is all about.

People being hyper critical of our players need to get a little perspective I think. Just because a team is of lower quality doesn’t mean you automatically get a cricket score. It’s not like putting FIFA on easy mode where they essentially let you win, there are 11 other players trying to stop you from winning, they might be shite but we weren’t playing the blind school.

A fella with 10,000 posts in 6 years shouldn't be casting aspersions and asking others if " they haven't got anything better to be doing".

Glass houses me aul flower.
Again making a point of my posting history doesn't answer the question as to why all you do is moan on here if you don't enjoy anything we do.

I know Ray, it's not something new.

Like I said, I don't know another fan base quite like it for hating on our own players.

Rodon looked hungry and up for it. Gedson nah.

What's there to moan about?!
Well, off the top of my head and my fading memory......

The Klopp cut-out, Dion Dublin (a pundit/commentator AGAIN, go figure), daring to mention the opposition were part time footballers and had real life jobs, the trumpets, the strumpets (drinking prosecco), the camera showing the cut out, the camera showing the houses, Ian Wright, the first six minutes of the match, us looking good due to the poor quality of opposition, the choice of substitutions, the timing of substitutions, Doherty, Gedson, Gedson and Gedson again.

Sad, after all we've done to help his club. Supports Social Media FC though so not surprising.

Also looked like he was only trying to injure our players all game.


Proper bellender!! he can fudge right off, all he did on the pitch was try to be a WUM and attempt rough up players, he wasnt that successful at it either.

I thought Gedson did quite well tbh. Always wanted the ball, made some excellent dribbling/tricky runs, which considering the state of the pitch was good and recycled the ball quickly. Probably had the most touches out of our whole team and kept trying for the full 90

Did he make mistakes? Sure he did, he looked knackered at the end and was stretching as he appeared to be getting cramp, but I can't remember the last time he played 90 mins.

Still, some fans have got to pick holes and have a dig out of someone despite the professional approach of the whole team and a 5-0 scoreline.

Based on what he did today? Hit a poor shot but played okay, I thought. Lovely touch and pass in the last minute.
Based on his performances thus far. I appreciate the love for him: he’s been an awesome player, and I want him to succeed with us; but there’s a ‘gap’ in his current playing standards. ‘Played ok’.... him playing ok is notches above most players. Anyway. We won. We played well. We respected them.

At least Dele got the day off from it...

Small blessings, silver linings, harumph, harumph...
