Congratulations. Looking at the match as a whole it was a deserved win. Hope you win the final. You scored two excellent goals tonight. The difference between first and third division I suppose. The margins might not be as big as some would have us believe, but they are still there. Well done and good luck with the rest of your season.
1889 ...my Northern alter-ego and erstwhile nemesis... mwooh-ha-ha-ha-haa!!Well played, you showed your Premier League class, especially in that first half. On another day we would've been out of it by half time but fortunately for us, HK18 wasn't as lethal in front of goal as he's seemingly been all season.
I'm not a lover of this 'sucking up' nonsense but Spurs have been my favourite Prem team for a while now (probably since the Kyle's transfer, I guess), so I wish you well in the final, the remainder of this season, and the foreseeable future. Just be sure to sell Walker whilst his value is still high, 10% of that will do nicely!! I hear Real Madrid like your players?
ochbye: Farewell.
Agree, but as finals go this has to be better than the FA Cup, 30K from each side is better than the 20K on offer for FA Cup.that was the absolute bollocks last night. wembley won't come close to that
...Davies and Lamela were shit tonight...Dembele was class...
COYS
Shame its in portrait...
Maybe that's what makes some fans decent, both clubs have had their share of these "almost" moments, and I think it keeps things real, makes you appreciate the good times more.Yes mate.....Sheffield United!
The epitome of "the almost team"
I thought they were just sick of Sky Sports?Bbc is what they were saying, Blades Bashing Crew. Cunts, like all football hooligans
I know the FA cup is seen as being more prestigous, but the way it's ticketed in more recent years has completely watered it down to the point where in comparison the League Cup is arguably better. At least the final of the LC will be entertaning this year, and supported by a good number of true fans.Agree, but as finals go this has to be better than the FA Cup, 30K from each side is better than the 20K on offer for FA Cup.
Its his second season....As for Lamela, give the lad a chance, first season. Just needs to bulk up a bit the same as Bale did. I thought he played his heart out, get off his back FFS.
F.O.G.S.
For me, Wednesday was the type of away day I dream of. A minor taste of what it would have been like to have followed Spurs in the 70s/80s/90s.
5000+ of us landing. Spurs in every pub in the City Centre. It was moody as fuck outside, Riot Police overkill and scuffles outside the away end/in that petrol garage forecourt before hand. Great atmosphere in the ground, especially after our 2nd goal. Half time in the lower tier concourse. Full time knowing we're off to Wembley. Leaving the ground, walking into a moody atmosphere.
One of the best nights I've had with Spurs in my short 8 year career.

Agreed, but hopefully he's still young enough to be molded a bit. Learning to release the ball earlier and be more distinctive with the passing should be problems he can overcome.Its his second season....
Also its his decision making that gets me, not his attitude/application.
He'll have the ball but not make the obvious pass and instead lose the ball also when he does pass they seem to be underhit a lot of the time and get intercepted.
Although i've just checked and against united he had 90.3% passing accuracy, what do i know...
won 9 "duels" and lost 9.
fucking duels...
"They're over there. On the left... Look...Just had another flashback of that petrol station courtyard!
