It is a bit of a joke that just because a referee says he sees it nothing happens. The FA should be saying, you may have seen it but you are wrong, it is a bad challenge and your off to the conference for a few weeks and he's getting a ban. They soon changed the rules when they dealt with Ben Thatcher, and rightly so, but the refereee dealt with it at the time.

Exactly. The referee apparently saw Crouch's eye-gouge but didn't deem it worthy of a punishment. The FA should be hauling the ref in and asking him how the hell an eye-gouge isn't worthy of a card. Ditto with Van Persie's elbow - how the ref didn't think there was anything in that one when he had clearly lined Cuellar up is beyond me.

I'm in absolute agreement with both your posts, the FA/Officials ask for respect and yet expect us to accept this ruling as a fair and just way of dealing with things, it is not, and it is clearly so open to abuse and manipulation it's untrue.

For the Spurs lot.

You've got the scousers Monday night, any news on injuries/suspensions and the like?

Any predictions? Might back you because you will obviously be going for the win. And Liverpool are pretty shite.

Odds generally 5/2.

Yeah cause the Dippers have been turned over regularly at Anfield this season.... oh wait!
 
At the moment it looks like Defoe and Lennon are pretty doubtful. VDV doubtful as well but he always is to be honest.


----------------Freedle----------------

Walka----Kaball-------King-------Benwar

------------Parka------Sandro---------

Kranchar---------Modrich----------Bale

------------------Adebuyor------------------

Think the midfield trio of Parker Sandro and Modric will be key as they're on fairly good form, but I think Harry may be feeling brave and start with Ade and Saha and have Sandro on the bench. I can understand the thinking in both but Liverpool seem to be upping their game against the better teams so I'd rather be a bit more solid.

My predicition is a score draw, probably 2-2 as I can see Liverpool giving it a real go, they'll want revenge for how we made them look quite silly.

Am genuinely worried about Bale, Modric vdv etc with the amount of pricks they have, hopefully the players will get behind one and other and give it as good as they get.

VDV goes off every week with "a suspected torn hamstring" just to be back the next week. Correct me if im wrong but torn hamstrings are 3 month minimum injuries

Don't claim to know much about sports physiotherapy and such but I think it depends what grade the suspected tear is.

Fitness wise VDV had been looking good but it seems to have gone downhill and hasn't had a really good game in a while, he'll probably go back to the Dutch super specialist guy who'll fix him up but it never seems to be a long term fix...

I'd take a draw right now, they've hit a bit of form the past few games. Beating City and United it's like they have won the world cup to the fans.

I think Defoe and Lennon are still injured so Saha may come on at some point

Suarez is back and Bellamy has hit form, a bit worried about these two. Liverpool are pretty difficult to play against at home too

Liverpool host Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Monday 6th February 2012 in the 24th round of the 2011-12 Premier League season.

Liverpool come into the match in 7th place on 38 points, while Spurs are in 3rd place on 49 points.

This will be the 161st time the two teams have met.

The first meeting came on Boxing Day in 1894 when Liverpool, who had been established just two years earlier after a dispute with Everton, played a friendly at Tottenham Marshes in a game won 3-0 by Spurs. A further visit from Liverpool was even less successful in Easter 1895 with Spurs winning 6-0.

The first Football League meeting between the two clubs took place at White Hart Lane in November 1909 with Spurs winning 1-0 thanks to a Bert Middlemiss goal. He became the first Spurs player to score against both Merseyside clubs.

The reverse fixture that season was won by Liverpool at Anfield 2-0. Anfield had previously been the home of Everton before their move to Goodison Park.

All 134 League meetings played to date between Spurs & Liverpool have taken place in the Top Flight of English football.

Tottenham's 2-1 First Division win at Anfield in March 1912 would be their last at the ground for 73 years with the jinx finally being broken by a Garth Crooks goal in 1-0 win in March 1985.

The first FA Cup meeting came in the 5th Round in March 1968 and resulted in a 1-1 draw at the Lane. Liverpool won the replay 2-1.

To date, the clubs have met 7 times in the competition with Tottenham's only win coming at Anfield in the 6th Round in March 1995 when goals from Teddy Sheringham and Jurgen Klinsmann earned a 2-1 victory.

The teams first met in the Football League Cup in 1972 and have played 7 times in the competition with Spurs winning four games with two draws.

Liverpool's only win came in the 1982 Final at Wembley which was won 3-1 after extra time. Steve Archibald put Spurs ahead but Ronnie Whelan's brace and a goal from Ian Rush ensured that the Reds lifted the silverware.

The teams contested the Charity Shield in August that year with League Champions Liverpool beating FA Cup Winners Spurs 1-0.

Liverpool are one of three English clubs Spurs have played in European Competitions to date - the other being Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Spurs beat Liverpool in the 1973 UEFA Cup Semi-Final 2-1 with a brace of goals from Martin Peters but a 1-0 win to Liverpool in the second leg at Anfield meant that the Reds progressed to the Final on the away goals rule.

Two matches were played in Swaziland in June 1984 reulting in a 5-2 win for Liverpool and a 1-1 draw.

In December 1985 and January 1986 the clubs met in the Screen Sport Super Cup - a competition played due to English club's being barred from European competition - with Liverpool winning both matches 2-0.

Both Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur were founder-members of the Premier League in season 1992-93 and are two of the seven clubs who have been ever-present in the competition for the past 20 seasons (Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton and Manchester United are the other five).

The home fixture at White Hart Lane last season in November resulted in a 2-1 win for Spurs. Liverpool went ahead just before halftime with a goal from Martin Skrtel but Spurs came back in the second half with an own goal from Skrtel after 65 minutes and an injury-time winner from Aaron Lennon.

The reverse fixture at Anfield in May proved to be the UEFA Europa League decider with Spurs winning 2-0 with goals from Rafael van der Vaart and a Luka Modric penalty.

During the summer, Spurs added former Liverpool goalkeeper (1997-2000) Brad Friedel to their playing staff.

The game at White Hart Lane in September 2011 was won 4-0 by Spurs with goals from Luka Modric, Jermain Defoe and a brace from new loan signing Emmanuel Adebayor. Liverpool had both Charlie Adam and Martin Skrtel sent-off.

Liverpool have won 17 of the 39 Premier League matches played so far with Spurs on 12 wins and 10 draws.

Overall, Liverpool have the upper hand over Spurs with 73 wins to 48 with 39 of the 160 matches played so far drawn.
