Where was my invite?
They were probably short on Vodka!
Knew he would be decisive in both legs. Big unit and presence. Phenomenal. Deserves a spot in final. Whenever I see him after playing hes laying down and shows hes given in his all. Cant knock that.
He was my MotM, immense. People have said Romero (strangely I noticed VdV more) but it was Biss who really caught my eye. Phenomenal, like you say.
That said, all our "back 6" had outstanding games, and the other five weren't far behind.
My favourite games are where everyone shines, everyone inspires those alongside them. I don't care if Bodø weren't Real Madrid, that was certainly the case last night.
There have been some dopey, almost surreal comments by the Ange-abusing, self anointed football experts on TFC but that one takes the biscuit.
I just love it when people here - KNOW FOR A FACT how the players, the head coach & the board think as if they have some extra sensory perception - Oh VDV passed forward! he's playing for himself not the coach! oh Ange threw his hands up he's lost the locker room!
Makes me...
'whole career'
Ah you're here from another club's forum, following Ange around. It all makes sense now...mate.
In all fairness some of them can go with him to his next job.
Glossing over the season is all well and good, but when you look at our EL draw we played Frankfurt and that is it.
No pissing on anyone's parade here, but let's not get too carried away.
89% win ratio at home.
8% away from home.
Make of that what we want but a plastic pitch and being used to playing games at close to zero degrees has o be an advantge.
Good home side but lets face it over the two legs, taking away a deflected goal, they were poor.
Re : The Above .
So Spurs were 10 - 1 to beat CFC in 2008!?
For goodness sake .
I’m assuming ;either
á) None of those bookies were in business /, remained solvent for more than a few days / hours .
And / Or
b) You’re totally and completely mis-remembering the whole thing:
( for one reason or another) .
10 - 1 you say … hmmm
I bet those offering 12-5 didn’t get much business but do you actually know if any of them are still solvent? And where we can reach them ?!
Seriously; I’m interested.,
It’s a genuine question.
PS : I’d even take 9 - 1 against UTD if it means I could get 8-1 against us .
Please don’t let me down Guy-T man. Pass the Coochie and all that .

Seems like some sites had it like this :-
In the 2008 Football League Cup Final between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, Tottenham were considered underdogs by bookmakers. While exact odds vary across different sources, it's reported that Chelsea were favored to win. For instance, some analyses suggested Chelsea had a 37.62% chance of winning, compared to Tottenham's 35.94%, with a draw at 26.4%
But those could've come from an aggregate or the BBC at the time - it was nearly 20 yrs ago so my memory could be hazy - I just know we weren't touted to win & I remember everyone who was a rival saying we would lose
I didn't, considering his poor form in the Prem but glad you kept by him - I must say a lot of players surprised me & Biss was one of em!

That’s all stuff and nonsense: as you , I and anyone with a GCSE grade 3 in Maths would know. Those percentages don’t in any way transform to the odds you quoted:,not by a long way .,
We’d all love to know who these bookies conferring those kind of odds were/ are .
Some of us have bills to pay , mortgages to pay off and pensions to fund ; be a fellow-supporter and let us all get a map to the goldmine; why don’t you .
PS You can also DM me.
