Old man Redknapp prefers his old mate players. Pav didn’t play
for Portsmouth or West Ham so he’s buggered. Sad but true. And he
never admits he’s wrong so expect Roman to get another 20 minutes
against Bolton on Wednesday.

It’s a shame Harry is being unfair to Pav at the expense of our finishing in the CL position. From Pav’s performance this season (Leeds and Wigan) I find it hard this player has been ignored and kept in the cold when we have Crouch constantly misfiring and the lack of goals. I am certain Pav would have scored the penalties against Everton, Leeds and Bolton and scored agianst less teams like Stoke and Wolves. If we had won those game, we would have been top of the premier league and already sure of CL!
Please Harry!!! Let Pav start against Everton and Bolton and use Crouch if need be as a substitute!

Well he was just going to score wans’nt he! He has to start against Bolton and perhaps with Gudjohnsen alongside. Strikers need confidence and more games he plays the more effective he can be. Makes a mokery of him wanting to go and us perhaps losing out on a decent player. I think too much burden has been put on Crouch and Defoe and he may give us the spark we need to push on and have a strong finish to the season. Hopefully this mid-season wobble is past and we can turn in some good results. I thought despite the huge slice of luck this was a very important win and not easy on what can only be described as a pitch more suitable for cabbage growing than playing any kind of football on. Shame about King but again not surprising – bit miffed why the club are going to give him another years contract when we have bought Kaboul, I suppose this guy is going to linger on the bench as well collecting his hefty wages.

I totally agree with all the pro-pav comments and also suspect that we may be nearer 3rd in the table at least if Pav had played more as I reckon he would have put away a few crucial goals against the likes of Hull, Stoke and Wolves when we needed them.

That said I don’t want Harry to pick Pav because of fan pressure. If fans start running the club to that extent we could be in trouble (Newcastle anyone??). I want Harry to start Pav because its the blindingly damn obvious thing to do and it might proove the old geezer can get his head out of his backside, swallow his pride and do the right thing for thfc and right now that is clearly to play Pav. That said I know I’m nit picking here and I appluad the fans calling singing his name like that. I think that really gave the bloke heart. Did you see him appluading the supporters at the end?? Maybe if Harry picks him and he scores a few we can convince the bloke to stay next season through our adoration. That should be our job. COYS.

I dont see how Harry cannot start Pav againsnt Bolton and Everton now. After tonight Harry must realise the fans opinions of Pav and that he’s in danger of the faithful turning against him if he continues to shun him.

Pav is so much more of a class act than Crouch. If Harry had played him all season, instead of Crouch we could have been aiming at 1st place rather than fourth.

Just watched Harry being interviewed after the match and he says Crouch is playing well, come on Harry who you kidding he’s 4th choice in my book and i’m sure most other Spurs supporters would agree. He’s unable to hold the ball up his touch is pathetic and his passing is at best wayward. Come on ‘H’ forget your favourites and get Super Pav in the starting line up along side Defoe then we’ll have a chance of finishing 4th.

Did you hear the booing when Defoe came off, I thought it was the Wigan fans, but my cousin and his mates, who were at the game, rang me, telling me the spurs fans were booing Harry for taking of Defoe, and not crouch. Our thoughts on the sub was that, as crouch was poor, this would reflect on Pavs game,but pav proved him wrong.I still think Harry will not start him, until the spurs fans force his hand again,the man still, for me has a hidden agenda against pav, but this what us fans think of pav Harry!!! super super pav super pavlechenco, ok .
