OMT ***Tottenham Hotspur v Real Madrid***

[ShelfLife]

Just seen the highlights. That third goal. Damn. Football ambrosia.

I have been praising Sissoko a lot of late, and he deserves the praise, but he was crap tonight. There is no denying it. But who cares

He’s a funny one, isn’t he? Looks terrified every time he has the ball and incapable of making even basic decisions. No doubting he gives his all, mind.

He was also crap on Saturday but I take your point

He certainly looked a bit panicky tonight IMO and I was surprised a little Dembele was not brought on for Toby instead. Dembele's defensive nous would have been a better fit for the role Dier had just vacated.

Was he? I didn't see Saturday's match in full. Just the highlights and there were almost none of those

Dembele is like a walking time bomb at the moment; Poch needs to have a word so he calms down.

He did seem rather angry tonight. I get being pumped up by a big occasion but we were winning comfortably when he came on.

He got a couple of digs off Ramos and was after a bit of retribution.

 

[El Guepardo]

Almost home to Poole. A long way back home, but the journey was well worth it tonight. Delighted with the performance and result.

 

[Whiffler]

Och well, orft to Wembley Hart Lane now - COYS !

And just got back - WooHoo !

 

[awesome dawson]

Surely this rates as our greatest win in the last couple of decades? Inter Milan was good but this takes the custard.

 

[The Fatman]

So by play ground rules, we are the champions of Europe.

I dunno, they were starting to pin us back before he came on and kicked them off the park, his regular disruption helped kill the clock.

 

[Glenda's Legs]

I could not be more proud of all the players (and Poch too) tonight
Some truly immense performances. Dier, Verts, Dele, Kane, Trippier, Eriksen...
I am struggling to pick a man of the match. So many contenders.

What a team we have now.

 

[SteveAWOL]

Made up for all the fans who went. A night that will not be forgotten for a long, long, time.

It was a much nicer trek home than this time last week, that’s for sure!!

Just watched highlights on ITV and will watch BT recording next to help this glorious result sink in

 

[nayenezgani]

Martin Tyler, pleading desperation in his voice at around 75 minute mark: "There's still time!"

He basically brick his pants when Ronaldo scored and then spent the closing minutes focusing on the 'negatives' of the night for Spurs.

What fudging negatives?? Both he and even (disappointingly) Clive Allen gave us zero credit, it was all 'Madrid were awful, blah blah blah.'

fudge the pundits. fudge the media. We'll do things our own way.

I'm still buzzing my tits off.

 

[mephitis]

I'm still buzzing my tits off.

Just got back to Leeds.

Likewise and some!

 

[Kenyan Spur]

Just finished watching the youth game. We won 3-2
This may be a good omen.
Last time in Madrid, the youth team drew and so did the senior team.
So .
BTW, I didn't know Scot Parker was our youth coach.
He was quite animated on the touch lines.

I had this feeling that we would win.
The magic of TUSKER Lager.

 

[Mr_B]

We beat Real Madrid 3-1, we've qualified for the KO stages with 2 games to play, having lived through so much dross the last 20 years, I feel like I have to pinch myself sometimes, whatever this club achieves in the next few years, you'll be talking about this game in 10/20 years time, is this the win that takes us to the next level, will we look back and say it was THAT game that made our players know they could beat the best there is.

Happy Days.

 

[indospurs]

To be fair, they're missing their first choice RB, GK and one of their best CBs. Also let Pepe go last summer.

yup, agreed, no varane with his pace and we took full advantage
