***OMT*** Tottenham Hotspur v Bodø/Glimt*** Europa League Semi-Final Second-Leg Thursday May 8th, KO 8pm

[Bullet]

Keep it tight, don't give away cheap goals, try to score on the break.

That is what we would all do.

However Ange will aim for a 10-0 domination with centrebacks overlapping the centre forward.

Only now. Not in the period I was talking about. The years before COVID, Sky were delivering between a £1b and £1.5b profit back to Comcast.

Running one business unit that is intrinsically linked with another and then justifying price points on each separately. Sky chose to move from satellite dishes to broadband as the delivery vehicle knowing they were a minority ISP, plus BT owning most of the infrastructure. Sky aren't in control of their OPEX.

No. For years they have made a loss on the sports channels. It's just that people will buy the whole package including broadband. Which they make profit.
If sky didn't have premier league. A lot of their customers would cancel not just the sports but everything and go to a different provider. Sky would basically go out of business.

Proportion go to locals / neutrals via ballott thats closed - Rest corporate the figure above is before the club take theirs as well (I think) so not all to fans

That proportion as quite big. Too big imo.

"A total of 41,000 tickets out of 49,600 are available directly for fans and the general public to purchase. The two teams that reach the final may receive up to 15,000 tickets each, while the remaining tickets are being offered for sale directly to fans worldwide via UEFA.com/tickets."

By the way, the uefa 'ballot' for tickets ended 11th of April......

If people are only interested in the Sports package they can buy only that via Now TV and not have to buy the full bundle

They never had to buy the broadband aswell. Enough did though that it made them profitable.

Biggest match for 6 years. Please just dont give a pen away inside a minute

Biggest match for 6 years. Please just dont give a pen away inside a minute

It's quite amusing that it is being played at a Conference league style stadium with a capacity of 8k. If we can keep it tight for at least 15 mins, that will be a good start.

Going to watch it with my best pal, his wife a big Glimt fan. Would be so embarrassing if we lost.

Just keep it tight for as long as possible. 0-0 at HT, hopefully. Bodø/Glimt will start out confident, we need to put pressure on them by keeping the score level - then punish them on the break.

Lol. Have you seen us play? We'll do exactlyvwhat we always do. Pile forward and leave massive holes at the back.

 

[Aldo]

Probably why I'll go pub to watch it.
Did it for the Frankfurt away game and the combination of drink and conversation totally put me at ease. Only really looked up at the tv a few times when there was a collective 'ooh' or 'ah' and the 'that's got to be a fudging penalty' Maddison challenge.

No point trying to watch it in any pubs round here. I live in Surrey so they’ll all be showing the Man Utd match.

Just need to replicate what we did in Frankfurt

Hopefully with fewer heart-stopping moments towards the end.

Tbf, we didn't do that away to Frankfurt...so there's some hope

that's what barca tried to do - hope ange was watching

They do ticket exchange a bit differently over there

Norwegian fan trades five kilos of fish for ticket to Bodø/Glimt v Tottenham

A Norwegian bartered five kilos of semi-dried fish for a ticket to the semi-final second leg between Bodø/Glimt and Tottenham

Strangely we've been far more pragmatic and defensively solid in the EL, though. Another Frankfurt performance, and we have a very good chance of progressing.

So their strategy is based on weather conditions and the pitch.
