We can be heroes (again) Ajax versus Tottenham Hotspur CL Semi Final Wed 8th May

[TottsAmazeballs]

The fucking “scouser” who’s sits across from me at work, has RECORDED last night’s game, and doesn’t know the result - he’s sat there with fucking earphones in. Tragic cunt.

I’ll wait till 4pm when he’s going home and tell him the result.

Email him a screenshot of the game/scoreline at 54 minutes. Then bask in warm glow of his temporary smugness and watch the match with him, so you can post a pic of his dawning realisation.

Looking for some help as I'm genuinely torn. I have one best mate who I have a season ticket with. We went to Dortmund away together but we don't have nearly enough points for away games generally.

I've been saving and working for the last few years and I'm now in a position where I could feasibly pay for myself to go out to Madrid, but obviously with no guarantee of a ticket and he wouldn't be able to come. I love the idea of going out there, and to be able to say "I was there". However, I live in Tottenham, 5 mins from the stadium and I imagine the atmosphere here will be unreal too, and I can throw a party for friends afterwards. Also, getting to Madrid will be painful and also if we do lose it'll be super depressing and lonely.

Do I?
A) Be selfish, spend £1000+ to go to Madrid for a "once in a lifetime" trip
B) Enjoy Tottenham, save a bundle of cash and enjoy the game with my friends

Friends, who aren't Spurs fans are all saying "A". But people with a bit more perspective agree with B.

What do I do????

Share it with your mates. Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere out there will be unreal, but you should have a fucking good time in Tottenham too - nothing better than sharing these moments/experiences with your besties.

Never know, they may open the stadium up and stick the game on the screens there, in which case that might become an option for you.

Great seeing him dance around with Rio who has now gone up in my estimation

Had me concerned when he was fucking jumping around though I was shouting at the TV Glenn calm the fuck down. But it was amazing to see him like that last night guy bleeds spurs, and it's nice to see him back doing something he loves

sat next to Mourinho saying how some managers dont adapt, keep playing the same way even if not working. Blatant dig. True also. Poch is great at adapting in game. So often he sets up wrong at the start whichever is surprising given his grasp of tactics.

I think that's what surprised me most,was Rio's reaction.

I thought dele was magnificent made a few cunts round here eat their words.

His lay off to Lucas was sublime

Sheer class

The club surely have to do something in Tottenham/London for it? Big screen in Bruce Castle park maybe????

 

[Nutter-Naylor]

The BIG question - how many LPs for a ticket......

Do the 8k 'Premium' STs get first crack at the 17k on offer?

That'd be a disgrace!

Thanks to everyone that replied... I'm definitely leaning to B. Going to have to think long and hard about it!

Oh, to be a Yid on that night in Madrid.

But yeah, B-it.

Inevitably.

Unfortunately not down to the club. It's a bit shit that so few can go, but would be fantastic if they screened the game in the new stadium for something like 10 quid a ticket. Could easily fill the place and have standing on the artificial pitch if they wanted to.

 

[For better or worse]

Friend at UEFA said "Let me know if you want tickets next season, can enter an internal lottery and buy them for you"... too late for this year #Spursy

Great comments from John Barnes too although the pie eating champions final against BFS clearly has taken it’s toll

 

[Hrytn]

How many times have you watched the highlights?

 

[TottsAmazeballs]

Never have for me.

40 years a Spurs fan and this is the best feeling I’ve experienced.

It's certainly the loudest I've ever screamed at the TV. The most wonderful and surreal feeling of going from desolate and numb to pure joy and elation in about 40 minutes.

I decided to watch the game while doing some work at HT, since I was so despondent and couldn't handle it being the only focus (yes, I am ashamed, this is my catharsis). Didn't even have my earphones in. At 2-2, I got my housemate to stick it on the big TV. Pretty sure I shattered his eardrums. He's a Manure fan, but was absolutely buzzing. We seem to have the best wishes of everyone but BBC and 'Pool.

 

[RESPECT THE COCK]

Irish TV...

Is Kerr a Spurs fan?

 

[TottsAmazeballs]

How many times have you watched the highlights?

Honestly? Some bits ~20 times. Extended highlights, once.
I've got 'your heart must go on' as an ear-worm.
I've had shiny eyes about a dozen times and fully wept once, upon seeing Poch
..fuck I can't type it. Love that man.
I'm going to watch them again now.

What do I do????

I'm struggling to make my mind up as to whether to go or not especially as I probably won't have a match ticket. Got a few days to think about it I suppose.

BTW.... has anyone mentioned the fact that after HOW many times of trying in recent years (9/10 is it??) We've FINALLY buried our SEMI-FINAL curse!!!!
