One more nasty stat: last time Juve lost at home in the Champion's League was against the triple winning Bayern Munich in 2013. Ahem, we are going to have to make some history cos we sure don't have it on our side.

We're trend-buckers mate! :) Remember, we ended Real Madrid's 30-game unbeaten run in the Champions League on 1st November 2017; a game that saw them suffer their biggest margin of defeat since 2008.

Mary had a little lamb, they tied it to a pylon
10,000 volts went up it's arse,
And turned it's wool to nylon
(and then the welsh fucked it)

I took the liberty of correcting the above to make it "gender nuetral"
As we don't want to be offending any snow flakes, who may be called Mary, may have a pair of tits and a jack n Danny, but might not identify as female......... :levyeyes:
 
For the most part, I'm an 'even keel' type of supporter: always hopeful, but never unduly optimistic nor pessimistic. So my genuine confidence that we're going to win this tie with Juventus comes as a surprise to me. Of course it's going to be a massive challenge but, as The Independent put it:

All the pre-game talk about this being the ultimate test for Tottenham tells only half the story. It could well prove the ultimate test for Juventus, too

For anyone who watches Serie A and Juventus regularly, do you think our tempo and press will come as a shock to them, or cause them trouble?

We probably are the team with the most sustained press, in the most high tempo league in Europe.

Will be wear them out?

I don't watch them much but I doubt they are used to our intensity. Even the normal English intensity is more than they are used to and we do it better than anyone over 90 minutes. My guess is we'll see them on their backs with cramp after70 minutes.

English clubs seem to have a hex over Juventus. Spurs last CL round of 16 game tie saw us knock out Allegri's Milan. We like to press teams and play in their half which can make us vunerable to pacy counter attacks, but you lack that, Bernadeschi aside but he may not start. I think it was 60-40 in favour of you when the draw was announced but I think it's switched towards us because of your injury situation.

there is no doubt that it will be a very tough tie, for me it is too close to call, not sure if it is 50/50 or 60/40 or the other way around. Episodes can also tilt the balance one way or the other and then see the game going in one direction. Juve with everybody fit is probably a bit more complete, but at present we have so many injuries that is not the case any more so I am just hoping not to concede even a 0-0 would not be too bad, 1-0 or 2-0 would obviously be better but I doubt there will be many goals anyway
