Right now we need to treat Toby like a rare animal on the edge of extinction.
So hunt him down, shoot him, then post a pic of standing on his dead corpse smoking a cigar?
Seems harsh...

Poch nails it in post-match interview: if you're in the Tottenham squad, you should be able to handle games like this, and if not, there's something wrong.
Best cup tie I've ever seen.
What a game.
Feel for Wycombe but how many times have we seen Arsenal/Liverpool/United escape ties like this - relieved to see us doing it at last.
Next time I hope Poch learns his lesson and starts with a stronger team with maybe just a couple of changes, then once we're a couple of goals up then take the likes of Alli and Eriksen off - once the tie is secured.
did he say that??
Easy, easy, easy! So much respect to Wycombe. Hope we throw them some 'replay' cash or something. They deserved it.
Pretty much. Shown on a clip on SSN.
I get where you are coming from - but respectfully disagree. He made 9 changes, he fielded and inexperienced team who never play with one another - he took an unnecessary risk and he almost shot himself in the foot. It's not the first time he has done this and it has NEVER worked. EVER, NEVER EVER - and that is what is so frustrating.Poch did not "disrespect" the Cup - he played a side he expected to win - we all expected to win comfortably. Some players hurt themselves with their performance today, but thats not on the manager, imo.

Fuck me dad will probably be watching this on delayed later, I can hear the swearing now...
Spot on, also if you make that a league 2 side on a 16 game unbeaten run, against a premier league reserve team...it suddenly becomes much closer match, which is exactly what we saw today.For those of you calling it a disgrace, it's the FA Cup guys. That's what makes it special. Lower league teams see a chance to course an upset and play like men possessed. No shame in being pushed to the limit. If Prem teams breezed though every time it wouldn't be the competition it is. Fantastic cup tie.
CCV looked like Caulker MKII...
Minus the Joe Lewis daughter fucking (afaik )
We would never had won a replay in there place...
Go back in the thread and have a laugh....there's some real beauties.Fucking hell I didn't even know we won
Why let facts get in the way of a (almost) fairy tale?No mention on the BBC report of us having to play the last 20 with 10 men.
Frankly we overcame the odds.
True underdog performance.
Worked pretty well against Gillingham...I get where you are coming from - but respectfully disagree. He made 9 changes, he fielded and inexperienced team who never play with one another - he took an unnecessary risk and he almost shot himself in the foot. It's not the first time he has done this and it has NEVER worked. EVER, NEVER EVER - and that is what is so frustrating.
Fine - you want to rest some players - The Full Backs are interchangeable. Bar that change one or two, like for like - but CV and Wimmer as your newbie CB pairing with Vorm behind them. Onomah (Bambi on ice) out of position etc etc - he took the gamble and disrespected Wycombe - believing that our second string, who never play together, would simply win the game. It was awful and a mistake that has been repeated 3 seasons on the trot - all for that coveted Cage spot that we screwed up this season.
Change 4 players - fine. But to risk it all to protect the first team in its entirety and almost get knocked out by a 4th tier team at HOME - was unbearable to watch and is still unbearable to swallow.
We win 4 more games we win the cup - surely that's worth going for?!?! A TROPHY M'Lord please - our current staring X1 should be biting at the bit to want to win a trophy, they've just had a week off in Spain!
Make trophy winning. habit and a desire for the starting X1.
Oh and play the entire second string forever in the Europa League. (worst trophy ever invented).
We win the FA cup this season and a top 4 finish - would be a brilliant result.
