Big Ange’s nickname clearly not a reference to his height as he looked a proper short arse in the post match interview stood in between Glenn and Joe, even with Joe stood in the ‘gutter’!
Width not height.
He is actually “ bigger “ than both those beanpoles .
We do and I am still cautious. There's a difference between being worried about facing a difficult team and bragging about winning before you've won.
It might be a moot point in the end but for now it's a real worry that I felt a need to express.
I remember my first Spurs match as a fan too….
Fucking hell, they lost to Qarabag on this artifical pitch that everyone has been worrying about?

Maybe, but 3 goals is a real conundrum, because it becomes he'll for leather energy expenditure. 2, much less so.
They aren't that good
Lots of endeavour and some pretty patterns but they have their better players back and will believe.
You could see once Maddiison went off that we lacked a leader. That, more than anything us a worry. Who talks when it gets too silent or too loud?
Next week is going to be very uncomfortable.
Same Qarabag we beat 3-0 with 10 men, football eh
Fair mate. Thanks for checking.

I was just listening to the TNT commentary hype it up and was sure they said that

And each scoreline next week takes us through.
Away from home they're barely even that.
Away: Lost to Lazio, lost to Olympiakos, lost to Twente, drew to Nice, lost to United, beat a 10 man Braga, drew to Union Gilloise, prior to that lost to Crzena Szveda and Sparta Prague by 5-0 overall.
At home on the artificial pitch with their horrid temperature they pull off a few results, away from home the likes of Leeds, Burnley etc would turn them over more often than not. These teams have bigger wage and transfer budgets (by FAR) and play in a much more reputable league.
Championship calibre is a compliment to Bodo.
A shame on how it ended, but always feel we will concede against the shittiest teams, and Bodo aren't a shit team.
Started so well too. The atmosphere was electric and we got off to the best start. We scored the second at a good time too, as they were starting to look dangerous just before that.
Once we got the third, we just stopped play and let them come at us,when we should have gone for a fourth to kill the tie.
Worried about Maddison, looked nearly in tears when he went off, hope it's not as serious as he thinks it is.
So proud of the supporters as the atmosphere generated was as good as when we played the goons when we beat them to CL. (Not many tourists about - who would have thought!) But the anxiety crept in when they scored. Just hope we go with the right attitude next week, as these will not be a pushover on their home (plastic) "turf".
But have to say, that's the most I've enjoyed a game in ages.
We never make it easy, do we?

The last 3 games @ home in Europe doesn't
To be fair, we're barely above Championship caliber ourselves lately.
Nice one and good for you and all those who expend so much time and energy, let alone the cost.
It's up to the players now.
They know it's one step, 90 minutes away.
