Football is a funny old game ?
I was on my knees after 8 minutes.
Hope your bar is packed with Spurs fans. Post a picture of all the lads out there smilingGrandi tutti... forza speroni!!!!!
Watching on Irish TV with harry Redknapp and Neil Lennon. The host cunt starts talking about players leaving/being able to hols on to Kane.
Redknapp says "No, he's a top boy camr through youth, family man, very happy" Lennon agrees.
The cunt then spends 5 mins trying to say about money/trophies, neither R or L agree with him, so he starts talking about Toby and Rose leaving. CUNT.
MOTM in my opinion Dembele AGAIN
closely followed by Verts AGAIN
Davies got stronger the ore the match went on
Aurier got worse
Sanches, I know he's young, but I just wish he would stop giving me heart attacks.
Dele, I dont know what to say. Top player but just doesn't seem the class of other AMs
Lamela excellent.
Why? Tell me why.
If you cant get carried away after that, you are joyless. Supporting a team isnt ALWAYS about being sensible and measured etc etc etc
Fuck Juve, we just played them off their own pitch

What a game, we dominated them!
How long is it since Eriksen scored on a direct free kick?!
Was amazing to hear the home fans starting booing Juve when they couldn't take the ball from us
COYS

What a game and what a result! I was worried before the game nerves might get the better of us like at Liverpool but once again we fought back like champions. We really bossed the game after the first 10 mins and Juve didn't know how to deal with Dembele and Eriksen who were once again superb.
We were very fortunate though that the game wasn't over at half time, when will Aurier learn? West Ham, Madrid and again tonight. Needless reckless tackles nearly undoing the all the hard work to get back in the game. I was surprised he was selected for this very reason.
So many melts. I made one comment, "shit" then decided to just follow the game. As the first half unfolded it was clear, like a boxer that had suffered a knockdown in the first round but recovered in time to beat the count, that we were starting to regain our computer and slowly but surely were getting back into it. When our first goal game it was entirely merited. Yes we got a bit lucky with the second pen but we deserved that and overall we deserved at least a draw maybe more.
The second leg will still be tough but it's most definitely Advantage Spurs.
Yes he got an assist and I think he's a great player but if you look at his overall game for this season you can see how many times he looses the ball by trying too hard or to be too clever and when we break on opposition he seems to take too long to make up his mind what pass he's going to make.Dele still got an assist tonight! Can't believe he get's stick he creates. that's his game.
I don't think it's unpopular opinion jerry there's still a lot of fans that think there is a player in there .... Im just not one of themUnpopular opinion alert incoming...
I thought he had a great second half. I wanted him subbed after that idiotic penalty, and at the beginning of the second half he looked a liability, but fair play to him he really stepped up.
If you watch the match again, keep an eye on his performance in the last 30 minutes. He was making great tackles, getting into good positions, and winning several headers in important positions. In my opinion he actually finished the game as one of our best players.
He fucked up badly, but he certainly wasn’t awful across the 90 minutes. He raised his game after his stupidity, and I can respect that.
Dele still got an assist tonight! Can't believe he get's stick he creates. that's his game.
Agree about Aurier but “game over at half time” ???
No way
Not with this team
Sorry but if you don't know to stay on your feet in the box by now, he never will
We only need 2. 1 tonight and 1 at Wembley.
With Kane in our side, anything is possible.
Classy postCongrats on the performance tonight, deserved come back. The game did not go the way I anticipated or hoped of course but I think it is still open despite the bad home result. Good night
