5 consecutive away draws for Spurs.

Southampton
The Port
Liverpool
Juve
Rochdale

we totalled 11 name checks during the match

We lasted 80 minutes before we seemed to run out of steam. When the first Tottenham goal went in it seemed to knock the wind out of Rochdale and they looked a tired side.
They did well to get the last minute goal and earn a replay mind so good luck to them.
Looking at their league position and how precarious it looks we dont want them to earn too much money as it will give them a good budget for next season if they come down. OK they have 4 games in hand but they are a long way behind...11 points from safety..IMO they look doomed

They’ve just spent half a million replacing the pitch (how is this stuff SO expensive?) so aren’t that far ahead of the game, all things considered.

Presumably given the short time-frame it's rolled-out turf rather than hi-tech, but how long will it last with rugby league on it all summer? Their season is only just starting.

Rugby league does not marmalize the pitch at scrums!

it was imported turf from Ireland.....R/L doesnt scrum

Their previous pitch was only down twelve months, I hope they shopped around this time.

Even with no scrums, the pitch still gets no rest.

I'm sure they said Slovenia or Slovakia.

Watching Wigan v Man City and Wigan's pitch is in about the same state as ours.

Agree, but unlike ours the ball is not bobbling so much which is Flynn's current gripe.

Wigan's Byrne on the right looks some player great pace and skill. Good match even more so Man. City down to 10 men.

What a result. Fair play to Wigan, that was a very strong City side. No quadruple for Pep.

and so the fairy tale continues
