their a long ball team, like bolton, blackburn and joke city.
and the only reason they don't get accused of this by the media, is because of harry and the southern based media's big love in.
i for one hope the get knocked out.
I'm sorry but that's a load of crap. I know you probably think that if you throw in something about media bias everyone will lap it, but it's just not true.
You can't possible call Spurs a long ball team, most of their threat comes form utilizing wide play and knocking in dangerous balls. They also handle the ball in the middle of the park with technical players like Modric and Huddlestone, players who can provide cutting edge with passing. In fact I would say you will hardly ever see them knock it long. One can only assume that you say that they are long ball because they have a Crouch, when really they don't often use him in that way.
