Well there would most likely be a Spurs-Fiorentina tie in EL anyways, no?My first ever match thread. So thought I better get it in early before someone else starts one. The Juande Ramos Derby ?
The eagerly awaited showdown at Wembley Stadium between the Glorious Tottenham Hotspur and CSKA from Moscow, Russia, in the 4th place shoot out to avoid Thursday nights in far flung, lowly football outposts such as Astra Giurgu, Qarabag FK and Old Trafford.
A point or a defeat will do it for Putins boys, whereas a win or draw for Spurs sees us drop into Europe's consolation cup.
The question on Everyone's lips is will the Poch Man really go for glory with the likes of Onomah, Vorm, Carter Vickers and Winks ?... Or will he surprise us all by giving a run out to Kane, Dele, Hugo etc and risk the unthinkable.
With an estimated 85000 tickets sold for the clash, the atmosphere is sure to be an electrifying mix of anticipation and celebration of our final match in this seasons Premier European competition
So, what of our Opponents
PFC Central Sport Club of the Army, Moscow.
The club was formed in 1905 and play at the Arena CSKA which holds 30,000
Their nickname is the horses, and they are managed by the wonderfully named Leo Slutsky. Slutsky took over from former much loved Spurs boss Juande Ramos in 2009.
He was a goalkeeper, but had to retire at just 19 after he fell out of a tree trying to rescue a cat.
CSKA have had many different names down the years, including Experimental & Demonstrational Playground of Military Administration. They have always had strong links to the Ministry of defence, both in the Soviet and Putin eras.
They recently balloted their members on the colour of their away strip. Pink wasn't an option.
They currently sitting 3rd in the RPL behind Zenit and local rivals Spartak
Famous fans include Mikhail Youzhny and Igor Butman.
So, the stage is set. Wembley awaits. The countdown begins.
JT prediction.
Spurs 0 CSKA 0
Edit. this is of course slightly tongue in cheek. I'll be there hoping for a thumping Spurs victory and look forward to Europa League glory in May
Lets hope so.Well there would most likely be a Spurs-Fiorentina tie in EL anyways, no?
With all the building works there might not be enough space to leave the ground safely with all the extra tv trucks and equipment for CL games. I remember being told that Stamford Bridge lost some of it's capacity for CL games due to there being one main road to leave the stadium and some of that was obstructed due to tv equipment.Yep, I don't understand it either. we've still got a bigger capacity than Leicester, not to mention Monaco et al.
I get it would have been tight but I think all season ticket holders could have been accomodated, even if some had to be moved for the uefa family and big sponsorship boards.
Rather simplistic fuck wit shit cunt face , (Speaking your language ) .I want us to qualify for and win the EL so let's fuck these cunts right in the ass
Rather simplistic fuck wit shit cunt face , (Speaking your language ) .
We ain't got any more chance of winning it than all the other years we fucked up dickhead . Poch don't take
Cups as first priority moron . He ain't going to change . Dream on , prick.
Yeah totally get that, I'd love to go tomorrow night im on the south cost and the train strikes have made it practically impossible to get home after the match. I've got three seats club wembley row 1 !!! Gutted is an understatement
I started off thinking the parachute to the EL was like parachuting into Karren Brady's piss flaps. A big soggy mess but a soft landing . But let's fucking make sure Poch knows tonight that it is something we want to conquer. (Europe rather than Brady's soggy piss portal).
Meeting my lad at Euston 1343. Anyone around that time I will buy beers for. Let's show these fuckers how to support a club. Let's do this and Smersh the merfers
Think we'll be lucky with 60k tonight tbh, only our real fans will be turning up

Well they were still there in numbers when I arrived...Going to be surreal walking out of Wembley Park without a gauntlet of ticket touts
Fucking kill your self you child fiddling nonce. Get the fuck off this forum and back to Kumb. I ever see you at a game (which won't happen as you're an armchair spammer fan) I'll rip your tits off and make you eat them.
Stupid cunt. Unlike you, I still want Spurs to win every game they play. You disagree with that, then you can go hang yourself you dickless cunt
Guys I have spare ticket for tonight as one of my mates has dropped out. More than happy to give it up for free. If your interested PM me your number.
