Europa League 2012-13 - QF: Basel (SUI)

Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

nice one

i haven't watched the game back but apparently you could see me a few times in the crowd 8)

going 2 up could have possibly been my favorite Spurs supporting moment

Decent draw for Spurs.

I think once we dispose of Lyon, we shouldn't have too much to fear from either Inter or Cluj.

Our previous matches with Lyon in the 1967-68 European Cup Winners' Cup ended 4-4 on aggregate with Lyon progressing on away goals...

Tottenham Hotspur in Europe 1961-62 to 2012-13

I had a quick look on the main Lyon forum and my rusty French tells me that, along with Atletico, Napoli and Inter, we were one of the clubs that they wanted to avoid.

They were more than a tad miffed when, as the draw progressed, it became clear that their only choices were us and Napoli. Even more miffed when it transpired that Inter would be the likely opponent if they beat us.

Some of them even seem to think that they have little chance of getting past us. Just goes to show that they're at least as respectful and wary of us as we are of them.

And, of course, they're all looking forward to seeing Hugo back at the Stade Gerland.

P.S. I hope that the club allow the 1882 group to take over a couple of blocks for this game.

I remember watching the return leg of that on TV - which was a bit of a treat in those days - going out wasn't though.

We had a ridiculous injury list at the time IIRC, and stand in players like Derek Bond were drafted in. Not that I'm blaming him, for all I know he played well, just that overall we had a very weakened team and it killed us.

Indeed, I watched that on TV too, with much happier memories :)

IIRC it was the prelude to our 05/6 campaign and you could see what a force we threatened to be that year - we looked really sharp in that game.

Yes, our attack performed well (two goals from Jimmy Greaves and goals from Alan Gilzean & Cliff Jones) but our defence let us down badly that night at the Lane, conceding three.

Hoy and Bond were simply not good enough replacements for the injured England & Mullery.

Anyone looking to travel, flights are quite expensive already, however a return on the eurostar/french rail works out to about 150 quid

I'm relieved that don't have to play one of these Cossack teams in February. Oympique Lyonnais is certainly a good draw for us.

Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

so, without getting too far ahead of ourselves - do we know the order in which the next rounds two legs will be played ? (home/away - away/home)

I'm pretty sure that if Spurs progress, we'll be at home first to Inter or Cluj.

After that, there will be a new draw for the Quarter Finals.

no chance id have thought mate, probably be more people without tickets in Lyon than with
 
Re: Europa League 2012-13 - Round of 32: Lyon (FRA), Round of 16: Winner of Inter - C

Bit of excitement in the Europa again! Although sadly, I won't be going to the away leg. Gutted. Too close to delivery date for Number 2! Which also means - gonads - that I'll be missing the away leg of the next round if we do dispose of Lyon. Sigh.
