Sorry mate but that’s not quite right. We’re far stronger than Lazio, and they did have chances. Juve were lucky, boring and still a bit shit. Our pace, our power and our precision is too much for any team when we’re on form. It’s got nothing to do with them. If we get our game right, we’ll overpower then. It’s all about us. Wembley will be a cauldron. Juve don’t know what’s coming.

Clearly it is way too early for me to discuss fine print rules for European football
Probably referring to Romelu Lukaku's little brother Jordan.
Biggest worry for me is that we have a fucking awful start again. We just can’t afford to put ourselves in that situation.
As brilliant as our comeback was the other week, & as much as we outplayed them in the second half, I don’t think that they would lose a 2 goal lead again. In fact, if they take the lead they will be using every bit of experience they have & every dark art in their repertoire to keep their beaks in front.
This is a team that got to the final twice in past 3 years. That doesn’t happen by fluke.
I think we will nudge past them, but it genuinely is going to be a nail biter.
Still never seen us lose at Wembley. I am crossing everything that Wednesday isn’t the day when that lucky streak ends.
:avbpray:
Edit: We also need a good, strong referee. Any idea who it is and if he’s any good?

Just him talking up his team. Something else he said.
"This win certainly helps our confidence as we will have to be good and lucky on Wednesday."
They blew it in Turin and he knows it.
And reference the defending quote. League season to date.
Lazio played 27 conceded 34.
Tottenham played 29 conceded 24.
Now I’m not a statistician but I see a clear difference here.......
Notable we conceded 4 of those 24 in one game as well against arguably the best side in the world this season.
Wembley will be rocking for this as well, they need more than luck.
Lazio goals conceded per game: 1.26 (34 in 27 games)
Tottenham goals conceded per game: 0.83 (24 in 29 games)
In a stronger, more attack orientated league.

How comes your Tottenham have conceded less than mine?
Is the table different in Spain??
ochlol:Ooops, 0.83, (24 in 29 games). Point still stands tho.How comes your Tottenham have conceded less than mine?

And don't ever take Max Allegri's side against the family again
The site said it would be a paper ticket when I bought them, but I’ve just had an email to say that they have been added to our stadium access cards.
They are a tie breaker. I'd say commentators and the media over state the importance of away goals a lot of the time. To me it is more important to avoid an away defeat you can't over turn at home. But yes they are an advantage.
We only go through on away goals if there is a 0-0 or 1-1 draw.
Thanks mate
Yes like we do every time we play the likes of West Brom or any other team willing to sit back and absorb every single bit of our pressure.
It’s completely different though. A West Brom or Stoke might come to Wembley content to sit back, play for a draw, and maybe snatch something on the counter. Juve can sit back for the whole game for all we care, as we’d still go through and they’d be out.
They have to score. Teams like West Brom playing at Wembley, don’t.
Agree it is commentators talking bollocks that away goals count double, basically the away goal gives you a half goal advantage, so in effect the current score is Tottenham 2.5 Juventus 2. Juventus nullify that half a goal if they manage to score 2 and gain half a goal if they score 3 or more.
I don't think Allegri would have any problems with that though. He's confident in his team to breach our defence. He's called out our defence.
He isn't going to come to Wembley and make a go of it. That isn't his way and it isn't Juventus' way.
He will be happy to sit back and look to counter at the right time. Will it work? I hope not.
I get what you mean but that's a bit confusing as well. In simple terms if it is a draw on aggregate at the end of normal time, they compare away goals and the team with most wins.
