Champions League, Feb 15 ->

add to that the fact he'd probably play a season for us, move to united, play 3 seasons, move to some club in Spain and then come back and play for Chelsea

I'm watching a Spurs side shorn of Hutton, Woodgate, King, Modric, Huddlesatone, Bale and Defoe... yet are taking the game to Milan in their own backyard.

Hate to admit it, but very impressed with the effort and drive being put in by Spurs. They come alive for the big games...
I reckon they'll get sucker punched, 1-0.

Hope you're right. We need them knocked out of this as soon as possible, as we can't afford them actually winning the fucking thing!

Milan don't have the defence they've one had, if Milan win 1-0 I'd have a bet Spurs win the tie, especially with Modric and Bale back for the 2nd leg.

Except about 1000 miles an hour faster!

watching them you can maybe see what Mancini is trying to achieve

Spurs doing ok but its essentially a very good wimbledon ie knock it up to the big man and feed off it

Because they have a good team ethos and a manager who believes in attacking. They always work hard for one another. We have too many players who play for themselves

They play football in a variety of ways in the same game. They can play slow possession football, they can play quicker short positive passes, they can play it up the wings and down the channels, they can play it route-one, they get bodies forward and play in and around the box.

You know we can actually admire the way other teams play other than Barcelona!
I do admire other teams play. I'm just not very impressed by Spurs.

The only thing you listed we don't do is play route-one, which is definitely a flaw on our part. The only thing you listed we do but not very well at all is getting enough bodies forward. I think Mancini is too cautious in that regard. Although to be honest, we have done that and suddenly we started leaking goals left and right. Disappointing to say the least.
 
Re: Milan play just like us

Milan play exactly like us,slow lethargic build up,plenty of side passing with little end result,hence why Spuds were terrorising them in the first half with width,pace and directness.

Man for man in midfield Spuds outclass us i'm sad to admit.

Can't disagree with that...
