Due to supporting Spurs (first and foremost) and then Benfica, I am by far the Spursyest the world has ever seen aulinhobored:

49.9999/49.9999 actually, cause there's always a tiny chance of a penalty shootout that never ends...50/50, we beat them, or we don't.
Which of your players is most likely to headbutt one of ours? We need to target them and provoke them.Hi,
I'm a Benfica fan and just wanted to share my enthusiasm to face one of the contenders and a great Club. I am sure it will be the best 2 games in the competition. Like our chances but I have no illusions regarding Spurs capability to beat any team. You have great players even without Bale and Modric. Let me know if you want some info on Benfica, I will be proud to share some thoughts.
All the best to you guys,
J.

Thank you. We have talent in the attack but the defense has proven to be our strongest asset in the last couple of months (1 goal conceded in the last 14 matches, including fixtures against Porto and Sporting, our main rivals). Regarding the offensive players, we usually play Markovic in the right (Salvio is just returning from a 6 month injury), Gaitan in the left and two strikers (Lima and Rodrigo because Cardozo has been injured and is not in top form). Clearly Markovic will be the biggest star, I am sure he will play for one of the major clubs in Europe in 2 years. Sulejmani hasn't played much and he is not part of the starting squad. Funes Mori sucks
I'm not overly confident, especially considering the fixtures fall between Chelsea, Woolwich and Southampton. Hopefully we can see the tie off at the Lane before we even need to go to Portugal.
I think Benfica are too good a team to see off in one game. This could be one of those classic european ties, and it's got a bit of history behind it too. I think it may be a tense one, away goals may be decisive. Normally I prefer to be away first, but our away form (bar the last two) has not been too bad. For me it's about keeping the tie alive at WHL. A 0-0 would not be the worst, got to stop those away goals.I'm not overly confident, especially considering the fixtures fall between Chelsea, Woolwich and Southampton.
