I’d actually like for Son to make the next leg and score 2 of his goals of old, taking him above Chivers in the all-time goal scorers’ list.

I think we lost control a bit when Maddison went off. He was great at getting hold of the ball and making something happen.
Either way, a 3-1 win in a semi final of a European Cup, it's only a positive. We've been good in Europe this season, and I expect us to go there next week and wrap it up.
I have eyes.I keep coming back to this post. I read it on the train home and thought "eh? Didn't look like that at the game, I'll have to check the replay..."
I've now checked the replay.
Literally nothing in this post is true. It's all utter horsehit. What on earth is going on with you that you'd write this?
And unlike you, I'm able to call a spade a spade even if that goes against the team I've been supporting for over 40 years.
Weirdly that's also what one of the dudes I watched the game with thought. He's only a professional referee in the Swiss leagues, but I guess Phomesy knows best.
If Woolwich had gotten away with them incidents, you'd be writing to UEFA.
Oh and you don't like my posts, there's a feature for that.
I don't know how you can look at a defender booting the leg of an opposition player when the ball has gone and think "Nah, nothing in that"?!
Way I see our players are probably on 50 to 100 times the salaries Bodo players on. They screw it up dont bother coming back to Tottenham and place all of them on the transfer list. But they wont and we will go through to final imo.
Used.
i thought ignoring people on here was the wrong thing to do as it might create an echo chamber for me - but I'm done with reading people's self-aggrandising nonsense that adds no value.
Pity you don't have intelligence to go with it. Or a working knowledge of the rules of football
With a very poor manager so negates the quality of our players
They've won all their home Europa league games this season. All bar 1, by 2 or more goals.
They've also won 37 of the 39 home ties in Europe in the last few season.
With our propensity to self destruct, a 2 goal lead going over there feels like starting the game at 0-0
One or two League positions actually.
Romero is going away from goal, the defender is entitled to try & win that ball, the touch is so soft but Romero makes a meal of it. That happens in the middle of the pitch, ref waves play on. Clear & obvious error so VAR required? Not in my books.
But Romero twatting a Bodo player off the ball and only getting a yellow is okay? Gotcha.
How about Bissouma pushing their player in the back before Brennan's goal?
Can I suggest you open them? Possibly put some lenses over them?
Particularly when you have an agenda against the club, which you've taken great pains to browbeat everyone with.
Ah, the bastion of refereeing professionalism, the Swiss leagues.
Whilst it appears that you'd be celebrating them. At the very least, you'd be using them as a stick to beat our club with.
The go to response by anyone on here who cannot deal with their "opinion" being challenged.
We win a European semi final leg convincingly, yet your immediate response is not only to piss on the chips of anyone actually pleased about the performance, you want to shit in their burger as well.
Players also gently place their hands on a defenders back in the corner and get a freekick everytime, that wouldn't be given in the box. So I'm not sure on your point here?
Romero deservedly got a yellow. It's nothing more than a yellow.
Bissouma used his strength, the player was looking for the foul and rightly it didn't get given.
Are you just that desperate to see us lose that you'll find a way of diminishing every moment last night? Did it not fit your agenda or something?
The amount of decisions we've had go against us, sometimes we deserve them to go our way.
"Makes note never to trust any ref in the Swiss leagues even if they are almost certainly a figment of
Jaynola
's imagination"
thankfully it looks like the players have declared UDI for the european ties now and the matches v Wolves and LFC away recently are like chalk and cheese.
Lots of long balls (one led to a goal lol) and Vicario happy to boot it long rather than playing out short into danger
And lots of crosses too (one led to the first goal lol)
I'd been getting fed up with Son and Johnson getting into good crossing positions and then turning it back. Such a waste when both Dom and Richy are good in the air
I don't think it was a foul tbf. I was surprised a European referee didn't give it (they fucking love fouls) but it was basically 50/50 physicality.
I did think our penalty was hilarious nonsense, but wasn't surprised because European refs.
Overall, we played quite well, but it was against a side who had a few tidy on the ball players but less genuine quality footballers than some of the higher level league one sides. I don't know if that was due to their missing talent and we will see something else in Bodo, but it was very clear they weren't very good.
Alright lads… you got slapped tonight and scored with your only shot on target… wind it in.
Which is why this sport is so amazing. Lazio is vastly better player for player, but still should have lost by at least 5 goals away from home. At home, they appeared to be the better team, but not by that much. I think many will be surprised by how big the difference is between Bodø/Glimt at home and away. On top of that, they’ll be getting back their two clearly most important players, Berg and Evjen.
They reminded me of the teams we met in each early round of the UEFA Cup in 71/72, 72/73 and 73/74.
(Keflavik, Lyn Oslo and Grasshoppers)
It might sound harsh, but a decent Spurs team with quality would have scored 5 - or 6 last night.
They were there for the taking.
It totally pissed me off that we literally made no effort for the fourth goal at the end, just being content to pass it around.
No urgency/high tempo.
They were absolutely fucking garbage, I have no idea why they're talking.
