The whole stadium cheered his first touch, bet he loved that.
Fair play to all that went for what was a dead rubber. 60 plus k is a great turn out and shows the real size of the support rather than the day trippers who come along when we are actually in the competition.
What you need is a good lobotomy then you can join the bin dippers club
And is coincidentally the capacity of our new stadium of course. Sounds a good fit.

How did we not get 7 or 8? Anyway, onwards and upwards, If we're in the Europa, then let's go out and win it. Lovely to see Toby on the pitch, what a reception.
It was mainly in the upper tiers that there were empty seats, in the lower section definitely felt quite full. Which probably bodes well for when we're there next season.
Absolutely spot on, those pricks having a pop will defend the manager who played weakened sides when it mattered as well.
Absolute hamptons.
He never played weakened sides in the CL you gooner maggot prick
I suppose we should just ignore that Toby looked well off the game, in attack and defence...
It was his first game back, he'll always be a bit rusty, rather he did it against CSKA when we were 3-1 up than against Utd from the start.
Either way the reception he got when he came on. :vert:
Perhaps the manager was looking at the league situation and felt like our best chance of Champions League next year was to win the Europa League? I'd really hope it wasn't on his mind, but if we go on to win the Europa League it will have been the best thing to happen to us this season.
Out of curiosity, which English sides will be with us in the Europa league last 32 as things stand?
United and Southampton isn't it, not really paid that much notice as we were not in it. To the fans moaning about EL, it is a far easier chance for a trophy than winning the PL. It also offers CL qualification, the FA Cup gives us Europa only.
For those moaning about extra games and cost. I took my boys for the first time last night and they absolutely loved it. Now additional playing in the EL will offer us more chances of going to see Spurs as it's hard enough trying to get tickets for lower capacity WHL. Also the pricing strategy was spot on and not as expensive as trying to see a league game.
There are plenty of people that do not get the opportunity to see Spurs week in, week out and having extra fixtures gives them the chance to go.
I fancy those odds. United have struggled to deal with us for a number of years. Now we just need to figure out the tricky European opponents. But if we play at our best we can beat any team in Europe I feel.
Agree... the 62,034 that showed up (Tourists aside) prove what a great core support we have... even for a 'dead rubber' (which of course, it wasn't, if you covet European Competition like many... even if it's the the UEFA Cup!!)
Shame the new ground 'only' holds 61,000... there's gonna be 1,034 very disappointed fans who miss out!!

I enjoyed that game, Alli looking hungrier and sharper, Toby coming back, Kane scoring on a regular basis and EL games to look forward to. Cant ask for more ...
Looking down from the upper tiers, there was plenty of empty seats down below. I guessed there was about 50000 there so was pleasantly surprised it was 62000. Glad i went and thought the atmosphere and noise generated was good with so many empty seats. Tobys first touch got the biggest cheer of the night, which was great. On the minus side someone behind us kept dropping their guts and it smelt like they kept pulling a rat out of their arse, still i've learnt i can hold my breath longer than i thought. Don't blame people for not buying tickets for last night but the people that did but couldn't be bothered to go, well they can do one, fucking fair weather fans.
All this sanctimonious bollocks is doing my head in. Fairly confident I've been to more games than most this season home and away yet apparently I'm now not a real fan.
I've got a hell of alot on my plate to get done before the end of the year and didn't see why I should have to put myself out for a fairly meaningless game when the team couldn't be arsed for the other 5. If it makes you feel important though, carry on
