Heard a kid worrying about getting busted using an adult ticket. The security don’t care. Just don’t stand long enough to get your old man banned !

This’ll be tough as hell, make no mistake they’re an absolute side, but we can beat them. It won’t be like Man City in which we are camped in our own half for 180 minutes, we’ll be able to get at them, just need to be tight at the back. Christ I’m excited, hear lots of people booking flights and hotels to madrid, whilst I understand they want to get ahead of the price jumps etc, and have cancellation rights, but I just can’t bring myself to do it until we know if we’ll be there or not
Not a bad line up.
I might be concerned about Wanyama mobility when facing the very mobile Ajax forwards, and maybe Harry Winks is a better option who is sound defensively and able to get Spurs attacks going quickly with his passing, although arguably Eric Dier is a more of a 'like for like' player to Wanyama.
Poch might be more cautious given Ajax have put out Madrid and Juventos with fast mobile play and go more solid by playing 3 cms (Winks Sissoko and either Wanyama or Dier). At the expense of the less mobile Llorente. In effect a 433
At this stage I couldn't care less about Barca and how they are feeling, it's just an incredible emotion going into a semi final of this tournament. It's catapulted us into the global eye and it's richly deserved. We really have a great chance of making it to a final and we all know anything can happen over 90 minutes of football. I also believe Liverpool are at Anfield the 2nd leg so I wouldn't rule them out of pulling something amazing off.
A Tottenham Vs Liverpool final would be so exciting and winnable as well. We've got a chance you know, just need focus, form and the football god's to finally wake up and realise they've let other teams get away with murder since they took a 30 year snooze
Tbh I can see liverpool giving them a tough game, I just got this horrible feeling in the back of my mind the scouser will make the final again.
Foyth ...defensive player, mobile, can pass, keep the ball etc etc most qualities required for a DM. Just not physical enough. If Winks isnt available then Foyth could do. Although Winks would be preferable.
We will win
Bloody hell, that takes me back
Is Foyth even in the CL squad?
Played 90 mins v Dortmund (3-0), remember?
Back 3 of Foyth - Sanchez - Toby, Jan as a wing-back.
With Kane and Son out I don't think we've got any choice but to go three at the back with Rose and Aurier (hopefully) providing width.
The absolute one thing we must show Ajax is what City didn't show us, particularly in the first leg: respect. We need to put aside our preconceptions of the Eredivise as a farmer's league. Many of these young Ajax players are future world stars, and we should treat this game like we did the City one.
I think we'll put someone on De Jong. If you let him, he'll run the game. Dele's the man I think. Wouldn't start Wanyama personally. They'll run rings around him. We definitely need Winks. They seem pretty vulnerable to crosses so think Llorente will start.

I think City were too conservative against us in the first leg.
Poch will get our tactics right and we'll win this. 1-0 or 2-1 I expect.
If you're Ajax how do you combat us? Answer is you play the usual way, play to your strengths. Poch knows there strengths and weaknesses and he'll nullify and take advantage of them.

I know mate..... I've not suckled on a nipple in aaaaaages now.
Mine still not close enough for self-service.
Conservative, but still disrespectful in particular with the team selection. They came into with an attitude that they could just play it safe at NWHL, we wouldn't be able to do much damage to them, and then they'd just batter us without much effort at the Etihad.
