Match Tottenham Hotspur v Ajax, Champions League Semi-Final, Tue 30th April

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

But Pochs grumble wasn't aimed at Ajax or the Dutch league in the first place..

It was aimed at the Premier League.
The Premier League, and its clubs, recieve massive sums of money from Sky that dwarf anything Ajax get and part of the agreement involves a tv schedule that may hamper our European preparation.
Would the Premier League, and it's chairman, including our own, forfiet that for the extra day or two's rest? Of course they wouldn't.
Would Ajax love the financial benefits from the above policy at the expense of a few extra days rest? I'd bet they fucking would.
That seems the point he was making in response to Poch. And it's a fair and just point to make in my opinion.
 


You just know that this is what all of them feel deep down. It London of puts to bed the whole trophies are all that matters notion they knock us on the head with. One of my favourite things in recent years is the more they cling to things like 'we've won as many titles at WHL as you have' etc. Come on Tottenham, out on a show tonight,we all know you can do it!
 
No one is giving us a chance, the best position to be in. In all their confidence, I think Ajax have forgotten we got through a group with Inter and Barcelona, then pummelled Dortmund and got through against City. Again that is a good place for us.
 
fuck sake, the whole England and the world are against us tonight. Usual I guess :dembelefingers:

Nobody is giving us a chance against a team half of these so called pundits wouldn't have recognised walking down the street 3 months ago. Pay no attention, it's all based on shallow analysis and pettiness pal.

We all know anything can happen in a game of football but this Ajax team lost 6-2 to a Feyenoord team spearheaded by a grey haired Van Persie, lost 1-0 to Heracles & drew 4-4 at home with Heerenveen only a couple of months ago. They are far from the quality Barcelona & Man City have and we did enough against both of these this campaign to get to where we are right now.

Time to fight, time to stop all the negative nonsense & pranging I keep reading on here and online (not you, just in general). A battle is never won if it's already lost in the mind, we make serious noise tonight, this is a moment we have been waiting patiently for so it's down to us as a club from the players through to the fans to drip every bit of energy and fight into it.

No quiet moments or nerves in the stands tonight, we simply have to roar them on even if there are sketchy moments. Do your part from the stands tonight, no fucking about, this is how we dare to do!!!

All down to tactics this one. Ten Haag has Ajax playing some wonderful stuff, but they have weaknesses too. Should play Llorente against De Ligt kinda as a sacrifice to keep their best player quiet and use Moura to go at Blind.

Can't give away too many free kicks in shooting range or corners though.

Bravo
If it was down to me, this would be read out to the players in the changing room just before kick off.
Take a bow sir.
:dierpochhug:
 
Jesus wept, how are there still five fucking hours to go till kick off? It feels like were trudging through treacle to get to 8 o'clock.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if time started to run backward
