Match Spurs v Bodo/Glimt (A) - Champions League - Tues 30th Sept - KO: 8pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Gala absolutely smashed us last season. Dismiss as Angeball but they were quality

Some away trips to those cauldrons are hard but that’s it. A Turkish team going away to Norway on an artificial pitch aren’t going to fare nearly as well.

We should have far too much for Bodo. I know they’ve claimed some scalps but I saw nothing in our games to suggest anything other than if you are professional as a PL side you win.
 

Only 1 loss (Sturm Graz away UCL) since July. All comps 11-3-1.
Smashed Storm Gruz 5-0 at home, drew Slavia Prague away in the UCL.
Last season they won 3 home games on the trot in the UCL and got to the SF of the EL winning 6 out of 7 home games before they came up against the mighty Spurs.
So 11 home games in Europe last season and 9 wins.
Exactly. As our Norwegian guest says above, there's a gulf in terms of money and the (foreign) talent you can buy but for a few seasons now they have proved to be a compact, very well coached team with a strong sense of who they are. In Spanish we say "como una piña" - like a pineapple, in the "all for one" sense.

To suggest they are laughable amateur fish canners who would struggle in the 4th Division is both insulting and demonstrably wrong.

I would imagine that Frank, being Danish, knows not to underestimate such teams.

:frankthumbs:
 
As long as we stop them playing (as we did last season) I think we'll be fine. If we allow them room to start with the wing play, one touch, cut back stuff then they are dangerous. Be aggressive and they crumble.

It’s been proven time and again that teams overconfident fans call “farmers” can give us a game and even beat us. We’ve had two days rest, playing on a plastic pitch away in northern Norway in 10c weather. These guys are in the CL for a reason, I won’t be surprised if we draw or lose.
 
We beat them 5-1 on aggregate 4 months ago with a shit manager. Look at the comparisons in budget. We must win and nothing less. Tbh I dont like us chucking long throws in the box Reminds me of wimbledon!

All teams should use anythjngbthey have at their disposal.

I think the context today is different, although I do think we should be ensuring the gulf in class isn't neutralised by being away, and possibly a sense of Bodo seeking to exact revenge.

Let's just say we won't be facing Bodo in the semi-final of this competition..

Where would you like us to chuck them ?

I actually kind of agree by the way , but not sure throwing it back 5 yards for a hit and hope cross is more attractive.

So long term I’m not a fan , short term expediency until we get ( hopefully) more creative players in I can suffer .
 
I was at that game , it was one of the worst performances I’ve seen, and believe me there’s a fucking long list of those.*






* Blatant ‘I’ve been to Istanbul brag.’ 😀
I’ve been to Istanbul a few times


Now that is a blatant I’ve been to Istanbul brag😂

This is definitely one of those who screams and shits themselves over the ‘Cartel 6’. As though the club didn’t “work over years” to even be at the point where some Bodo fan can pretend we’re the exact same as a City or Chelsea.

And also, ah yes, everyone in the stands at every Prem team is some foreigner. To think the only reason this post got a bit of love is because the guy claims to be a Bodo fan, if a Leeds fan ahead of this weekend, for example, said the same they’d be getting foul votes.
This lot all have an "English" team. So me thinks he does protest too much. Its probably United isn't fella? And Phomesy Phomesy right apologise for what you did to Kurt Russell. 😡
