Last year at this time when we were about to face Dortmund I was shitting bricks. Right now I'm strangely calm. I know I shouldn't be.

I wouldnt be surprised to see 4-2-3-1 tonight with Lamela, Eriksen and Son behind Kane.
It would be interesting to see a 4-3-3 with Son and Lucas either side of Kane, but who do we play in midfield? Eriksen, Dele and Dier? 3 great players, but enough cover?
Tbh we shouldn't kid ourselves. The only way for this team to be a truly great side is to win the League or Champions league. If all this team does is win the FA/league cup, the way we look back on it will be almost the same way we look at them now.
The only reason to win the FA/ League cup is to say we've won something and shut the media up for 5 seconds until they start then going on about how long it's been since we won the league (because that's the way they work. This is why you shouldn't engage with them.).
I thought we managed to leave that 6pm shit behind with the Europa League.
I agree.
For me the joy of the game is in the moments. Last year at Wembley, stood there punching the roof after Kane buried a second carbon copy near post goal - in that moment.... i couldn't care less if we went on to win the thing. I couldn't care less what talk sport had to say about it or whether the "keeper should have done better".
And equally whilst watching the boys lift the league cup will feel amazing and be an incredible day out, it will mean nothing the next time we lose a game "we should have won".
Live in the moments chaps. Life is too short not too.
Lets hope we write another moment tonight.
COYS!
Poch, is that you?If you compare it to getting nutrients from a cow, those moments are like milk, no? Every now and then you can extract some milk from the cow, make some hot chocolate and carry it with you on the train and feel warm inside when you drink it.
But if you haven't eaten in a long time, there's nothing like eating a beef steak while wearing a nice pair of trousers made from cow hide
BACK TO FUCKING BASICS.
Love it.
Big game for Lamela.
If Lucas can be a 30 minute super sub it would be such an asset to have.Harsh on Lucas.
