Yeah it was last year. Thinking if we make it through I will head to the City / Leicester leg thats all.
It was 2 games last year? At Fulham and the Chelsea.
I could be wrong. I just remember a youth cup final against man utd and it was a pisstake cos it was one game at Old Trafford- supposedly random neutral ground (as theirs youth played games at another stadium predominantly).
Unless that was another cup.
That's not the game I saw. We defended better than I have seen us all season, our back 4 limited a very powerful and more experienced attack to long range shoots all night. As a whole we kept great shape and discipline which made us compact and very hard to pass through. Chelsea's only real threat was from key individuals running through us and at us and even those attacks were dealt with everytime by our defence. Our Defensive Midfielders broke up play with interceptions and well made tackles that more often than not set us on our way for an attack. These attacks were very deliberate (with a LOT of control), they were well supported attacks. The way we one the ball back is what set the tone of the whole match, each tackle is an attempt to win the ball and transition as fast as possible, which is a very deliberate tactic nothing like you describe as "without a formation or plan".
That was the Premier League Under-21 Championship Play-Off Final - something that's now been scrapped. The FA Youth Cup Final is over 2 legs - if we get through we'll be away first against either Leicester or Manchester City. Worth noting that in both the SF and the Final there's no away goals rule - so any 2-goal victory for Chelsea in a couple of weeks sends the game to extra time even if we've scored.
Mason, Rose and Bentaleb ARE Spurs.
I expect Poch will be taking either CCV, Amos, KWP or Onomah for pre season. All all 4
Onomah has such quick feet, can finish and has excellent vision and a quick thinking footballing brain. That chest pass second half was something else.
CCV looked head and shoulders above every other defender on the pitch.
I think we benefited a lot form Brown going off. He is a very important player for them. I watched him play v Man U's youngsters and he ripped it up. Was the catalyst for everything they did imo.
If we can defend as well as we did last night at theirs and Onomah, Azzaoui and Shayon are at their best we can nick it.
I think we could have another similar player to Onomah coming through in Tashan Oakley Boothe. My step son plays at Spurs and is great mates with Tashan, goes to school with him.

Damn… after accruing so many 'likes' and 'agrees' on previous posts I spoilt it all by saying something controversial! I think my initial post actually read more harshly than I intended - I agree that we defended well (and when Chelsea did break through the excellent Walker-Peters appeared from nowhere to clear), my comments were generally aimed at the midfield/attack breaking after regaining possession in the spurs half. Too many times a player would take on too much by himself and lose the ball when a simple pass would have been a better option. I stand by my summation in that Chelsea were a better 'team' whilst spurs looked more like a group of talented individuals. Bearing in mind that last night was Chelsea U18s 6th Semi in a row and are current holders (or so I believe I heard it stated on tv) then it's not surprising that they would have the continuity that would underpin the 'team' ethic.
Hardly any quicker than walking to be honest. Will save 5 minutes I'd guess.
Wanted to go by train but Chelsea won't let me on !
Always been 2 legs
Should've sung Spurs are on their way to City
Hoping to make this although tickets are not for sale at SB before the match. Really stupid decision.
Do you mean tickets are not on sale in advance at all?
I think he means you can't buy tickets on the night.
They're for sale until 4pm on the day of the match.
Anyone bought one through Spurs yet?
The club are not exactly getting their finger out with this are they?
