Feeling here is that it will be an easy game and we should decide it on the first game

Don't trust dutch fans one bit.
This time last year who woulda thought anyone would be saying, "if Sissoko can't play we're fucked"?
I'm starting the day by a visit to White City, where I will be watching Loose Women! Booked ages ago, never really believing (but always hoping!) that we would be in the semi-final of the Champions League!
Won't have time to go home, so will make my way to the Coach and Horses a bit earlier than usual. I'll be wearing a yellow jacket, so please come and say 'hi'.
Literally nervous and excited in equal measures

And this for me is why he is POTY!!
Unless Moura gets a Hat trick tomorrow then I'll grab the POTY trophy off Mousa and give it to Lucas......

I went to see a recording of Loose Women many years ago, was really entertaining.
I’m not normally a full kit kind of person... but may actually give the minging home shirt an outing. Alternative is to pick up a LS 60s shirt at the shop. Such important decisions!
Wear Lilywhite to help make it a Glory, Glory Night! | Tottenham Hotspur
Our all-Lilywhite strip is synonymous with some of our most famous European nights – and as we prepare to host Ajax in our mouth-watering UEFA Champions League semi-final, first leg on Tuesday night, we ask you to embrace this theme by wearing something white to the game.www.tottenhamhotspur.com
That away match at Stoke is my favourite of the Poch era. Amazing crowd in our end. Beautiful chaos in the concourses. And the belief we felt at the end - God I could almost cry with how it slipped away afterwards.
I've got half a dozen old shirts in the loft, before we sullied our lilywhite shirts with awful red logos. Trouble is, they've all shrunk! I might buy a white tee shirt in the shop prior to the game.
I'm still laughing at the image of Pochettino meeting Levy for the first time one afternoon with the latter barefoot and wearing pyjamas.
The hacks missed a trick by not demanding more info on El Presi's sartorial elegance, I'm imagining a black silk combo, perhaps with a subtle Japanese floral print.

My gang are telling me we are meeting in some place called 'Dirty Dicks' tomorrow, before we swing into the Coach and then the stadium.
Champions League Semi-Final, ladies and gents!!! Buzzing.

It will be the 1991 white Holsten shirt for me tomorrow night...... For obvious reasons - plus its got a good track record!
And it still fits!!!
I’m so up for this match. I don’t care about the injuries. This is the time for us to dare, dream and deliver. Not sure I’ve been this excited for a semi final since 1991. Just don’t concede Spurs.
I’m going to Redemption Brewing for some decent beer before the stadium pre match if anyone wants to drop by. It’s good prices and you’re getting it a few meters from where it was made.
COYS.

Yids!

They have a fair few of their fans in watching the training.
Including 5 of our squad?
The nearer this game gets, the more I dread it: we are in shocking form (10 points from 10 games), and Ajax have a full squad and had a week's rest.
I just hope we're still in the tie after tomorrow.
One thing I will say is that I like that Poch put Lucas before the press pack today: my theory is that he did that to build his confidence ahead of tomorrow ('If you can do a press conference in English, why can't you be the hero tomorrow?').
What do we expect from the former Ajax boys? I hope that they're being there will somehow be to our advantage.
Please, please, please, Spurs: do yourselves proud!

Eriksen needs to buck the usual trend of hiding in big games.
