Spurs - CL 2nd Leg - Pre Match Thread

[The blue phantom]

What could be better:
Sunny Manchester, Bowie on the iPod, ten minutes to the first cold one in the beer garden and City on the horizon

Come on you blues!!!!!!

Edit, Cigarettes and Alcohol up

Nice. Even hotter for the next game on Saturday. 72 degrees.

Oh my days, only just seen who the ref is. That’s my nerves proper fooked now. :(

He's shit rather than bent.

 

[mosssideblue]

Setting off soon, hope the weather there is as nice as on the Cumbrian coast

Still won’t be good for the old ticker mate haha.

At least it isn't this ****

Longest day ever at work !!! Juve getting knocked out last night has pushed up my expectations (hopes) 10 fold.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Yep. But it works both ways. If you don't get the early goal. You'll start getting that awful silence in grounds when things are not going the home team's way. And the "Pep is useless", "Silva is passed it", "why pick Delph?" comments start.

And then we start to believe. And you start to get anxious. I think the players feel it. And I do think it makes a difference

Fair play, good job against the optimism on here. Both sides whistling in the dark ;-)

We simply expect the full monty tonight, similar to beating dippers in January, this time KDB included...
And yes, we'll have to add a goal. But you don't have van Dijk.

Also this is no group match, tonite is a final, mate. Not your best playground.

Yeah, Cünt Cakir

Every cloud! ;)

 

[Stoned Rose]

Big test tonight.

I expect a serious fucking performance.

Let’s show the remaining teems how good we really are.

Yep. We are slightly out of depth. But we hope to be here more often. Only a few years ago we were hoping for a miracle to qualify for the Europa league via the fair play rule. We have come a long way.

Can't wait for this. Still think we'll go through.

My only criticism of Pep is that he seems to have a tendency to overthink things in this stage of the competition, and change up his tactics and formation. This goes back a few years...last week, De Bruyne in a holding role last year, throwing out a high press against Barca in 2014/2015 when he was with Bayern and getting destroyed...

Just play the best 11 and we'll twat them today. I can feel it. But if Delph or Mahrez get near the team oh boy

Sounds familiar somehow:)

Surprisingly calm for this, although that might be down to sleep deprivation. Anyway, the sun is shining and I’m off into town for a few pre-match liveners so I’m in a good, positive frame of mind. These are the games you look forward to. Should be a decent atmosphere tonight.

Not seen much of Ajax then?

Been in town for a few hours, the vibe is good.

 

[KCblue]

Buzzing for this. Think we're gonna get it done tonight. An early goal and another before halftime would do well to calm the nerves though!

Hoping for a nice dogged win to see the team through or some champagne football that will obliterate Spurs.

Finnaly found time to watch that press conference. Seems like Pep didn’t want to be there at all. A ‘journo’ pointed out to him, ‘it’s been asked every press conference’, and still proceeds to ask the same bloody question. I don’t envy Pep. Having to sit in front of dross that call themselves journalists must be headache inducing.
