Us getting the first goal would be awesome, but if can keep it tight until the last ten minutes you'll fancy our chances of getting either a late winner or equaliser...

Including the legends game I have seen 3 games at Fortress Spurs and I sat in my seat for the first time at half time yesterday. Less leg room than I was expecting. All good though. No complaints.
I fancy our chances period against this mob! COYS
Oil Nation FC are overly confident about the second leg. This can only be to our advantage.
I think they are in for a rude awakening.

Has BT got Liniker hosting it?.....never mind if it was a penalty or not (apparently in the premier league it’s not a pen, but in Europe it is a pen) they were seriously debating why it wasn’t retaken as Vertonghen (the guy who cleared the ball after Hugo’s save) was inside the box as the kick was taken....WTF is all I can say to that!!
Can we go on to lift this thing in May? Who knows, but right now getting through this City tie would be a great victory not just for Spurs, but for football in general , proving Money isn’t the only route to success these days....
The one thing I hate more than the PSG’s, City’s and Chelsea’s buying their success is the pundits drooling over them, pundits are ex players so surly they have some respect for the traditional guys left in the game?

city will be a different proposition with B Silva, KBD etc. I also suspect Sane will start. Pep will be looking for an early onslaught.
but last night, for the first time all season, the FBs got the balance right - not between attack and defense, but between wide and narrow - city love exploiting those areas and we've been mugs on the last few meetings. I've been critical of Pochs refusal to accommodate the other team, but i also noticed it a little Vs Lolpool.

Anybody at the BBC watching please tell your people that you're correct, Harry Kane got injured last night but however he is not actually the captain of our club.
The bloke in the goal is just so you know.
The bloke in the Spurs shirt, not the other one.
(On website last night and on then the radio this morning.)

That's when I put a tenner on Spurs reaching the semi-final this season, might be a millionaire next week!
Apparently that was the first time that 11 had ever started a game together!!
Ofc, I remind my best mate (who is an Inter fan) every single matchday, I ironically tell him "This could've been you if you didn't fuck it up against PSV". Growing up in the Balkans makes you know and have friends of most clubs in Europe.

Absolutely pointless and futile trying to get people to sit down in the South Stand. I understand it's 'illegal' blah, blah, but I'm talking about the reality of it. If you want to sit, then I'm sorry but you're just gonna have to either move your ST or stand and lump it. In other areas of the ground I can accept complaints but not for the south stand.
My old man is 70, a proper old fogey, and he stood the whole game without complaint.
Not usually a fan of this kind of thing, at least not when it's the club organising it rather than the fans (though maybe this was the Trust's work, I don't know), but...basically I think there is a time and a place for it, and last night was it. It looked fucking epic. And the message was so apt for the occasion. I have no doubt that seeing that and then hearing our support would have been an almighty lift for our players.
I'd like to see one "Fuck off back to Woolwich" when we play the scum, but the club would say it was profanity etc.
Most definitely.
We will face a barrage for the first half an hour or so. It’s a case of whether we can get them to panic and pick off a goal.
100% correct. Standing creates better atmosphere and that stand was built for it. If you are against standing please move your ST next season to the other 45000 available tickets in the ground...
Stood up for the whole game in the 'Paxton' the blokes in the rows behind me stood up whole game as well, no hassle from the stewards.
