If Madds as our play-maker misses out like Hodd did, we just need Vic to miss out and we have a rookie keeper (Austin) being the hero in a penalty shoot out!And the manager left at the end of the season.
It's in the stars
And unfortunately (especially to bring up memories for you) would also mean our captain is out injuredIf Madds as our play-maker misses out like Hodd did we just need Vic to miss out and we have a rookie keeper (Austin) being the hero in a penalty shoot out!
It’s a tricky result. We have to score there to go to the final
Stevie was banned, not injured (final was over two legs back then, and the silly sod got booked in the first game).And unfortunately (especially to bring up memories for you) would also mean our captain is out injured
We are 3-1 up, why do we have to score?
We just don't need to concede two or more.
Agreed that if we score first it will more or less game over.
If they were trying to do a damage limitation job in the first leg then they didn't do a very good job. They have to come at us next week, and this will give us chances.
I just can't seen us conceding two or three goals without reply.
We'll probably have just enough to get through but I wouldn't be even the slightest bit surprised if we balls it up
Maddison out is a huge loss in two ways , we lose our best player , and secondly it means Kulusevski will probably play
I know was at both legs, still the loudest I have ever known at a Spurs home match in second leg. Could have sworn he got injured meaning Robbo skippered the second with Mabbutt replacing Skipper but certainly bow to your superior knowledge. (Maybe it is because he hardly ever got booked throughout career)Stevie was banned, not injured (final was over two legs back then, and the silly sod got booked in the first game).
Because he'll be starting?
He hasn't been anywhere near it since his return from injury that's for sure...
If they score first it is squeaky bum time. Even if they score in the 80th minute we have to survive 10 minutes to avoid extra time. We are not the toughest mentally and if we are down 2 key players I would worry. Conceding that goal at ours changed things considerably.We are 3-1 up, why do we have to score?

Wow….did someone get their period?If we were a bit closer to the sun, because of an asteroid hit, and therefore likely to have a week to live, do you think a week of KFC, McDonalds or curries would be better for you?
Just a hypothetical question.
Graham Roberts single handedly won us the cup. But tony parks was legendary as well. Few years back under redknapp saw tony parks walking from pitch to me near corner flag. He knew I spotted him and knew who he was and gave me acknowledgement tap on arm. He appreciated that I spotted him. Parks and waddle imo should get more notoriety as legends for us imo. Both were superb for us.I know was at both legs, still the loudest I have ever known at a Spurs home match in second leg.

Clemence, Hoddle, Ardiles, Crooks and Stevie P for the second all out. We would just hold the white flag and surrender nowadays if we were missing that amount of quality
Last time I saw Parks to talk to was in Maribor. He was one of the Spurs Legends that travelled with club that day.Graham Roberts single handedly won us the cup. But tony parks was legendary as well.

Like I said, them things had happened the other way round, you'd have been the first on here spitting your dummy out & saying Spurs got fucked. See you next time a decision goes against us, even if it's the correct one.Of course you have a right to your opinion - just as I have a right to point out that it's utter horseshit that falls apart under the slightest of investigation.
And you're not doing the reputation of Swiss based referees any good whatsoever
