lloris had to be a 10.
Avoid defeat in Dortmund and it's done
Thought that myself Sally. The only thing they mentioned was his 18 injuries and the 67 games he’s missed as a result. Yesterday’s man.
its all about opinions, suffice to say mine is very different to yours!
Surprised to hear about the media's selling angle. I must say i went to a pub in a gooner area, stoke newington, and all of them said how impressive we looked. Remember last time? We looked totally out of place. Tonight we looked like equals. How fucking far have we come? It is quite amazing.

I agree with you now Joe. Though before kick off I was like, "I'm so glad Bale's not starting"

You won't believe this but I just found a fair report of tonight's game on the beeb;
Spurs show Real maturity
Travelling to face Europe's most successful club in the imposing 81,000-capacity Bernabeu - where the home side had won 21 and drawn two of their previous 23 Champions League group games - has long been a daunting experience for visiting teams.
Spurs themselves suffered a hiding there in 2011, losing 4-0 in their quarter-final first leg, but returned with boss Mauricio Pochettino urging his vibrant team - last season's Premier League runners-up - to prove they could compete with Europe's elite.
They did exactly that in a disciplined display.
Spurs, backed by almost 4,000 supporters in the Spanish capital, had been given further optimism of a positive result by Madrid's patchy home form.
Zinedine Zidane's side have only won one of their four La Liga home matches this season, struggling to find a way through teams who sit back and defend deep.
Pochettino said before kick-off it was important for his team "to be brave", illustrated by the Argentine's surprising decision to start Spain striker Fernando Llorente up front alongside talisman Harry Kane for the first time.
At times the visitors had to defend in numbers - only to be expected against a side containing so much quality - and had the moments of luck needed by any team who leave the Bernabeu with anything.
But they also wisely chose their moments to attack their illustrious hosts, showing a maturity perhaps not seen by their supporters in recent European campaigns.
A point was no less than they deserved and will give them further confidence before the rematch at Wembley in a fortnight.
"A point at Bernabeu, you would take that every day of the week," Kane said. "It shows how far we have come as a team."
