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

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I will be laughing my arse off when ajax goes through and this whole forum blames it on the extra restdays Ajax had. There are about a million things unfair in football and a few days rest should be the last thing to moan about as a PL club

It doesn't bother me a great deal, but why do it if it's not to foster some kind of advantage?
 
Any spares for the game... any spares?
Any spares for the game... any spares?
"COME ON YOU SPARES!"
OH WHEN THE SPAAAAARES...
GO MARCHING IIIIIIIN...."


...but seriously... any Spares??
but REALLY seriously, is anyone else planning to watch it in a pub somewhere in Tottenham...?

It just feels 'right' to be SOMEWHERE in N17 on Tuesday night, even if, alas, it's not actually INSIDE NWHL...

I'm absolutely gutted not to have got a ticket... genuinely dejected... but I know I'm not the only one to have missed out**... so want to at LEAST spend the evening watching it nearby...
Where are the TICKETLESS THOUSANDS heading to??

** incidentally... if the attendance ISN'T at full capacity available for a CL tie (I imagine it'll be slightly less than 62k) because SOME FUCKERS couldn't be arsed to go... with 100k+ more of us desperately wanting in...
then THERE WILL BE BLOOD!

it's totally not fair

a digital stamp card, ten stamps get you level e, twenty gets you level d, c, b, fifty gets you level a for example.

level a gets you highest priority, level e lowest, collected season by season. first game is equal for all, last games, semi finals for example, fans are rewarded for their support.

the more games you go, the more stamps you get blah blah blah.
 
I am buzzing about this, just a little bit worried about the injuries and Son's suspension. Just hope we can give a good account of ourselves and keep a clean sheet on Tuesday, then get Sonny and Winks etc back hopefully for an all or nothing in Amsterdam.
 
Also, this will be the first time all year the CL where our game is the only game. All of Europe will be watching the Lane on Tuesday. Hope the boys do us proud.

Sissoko being fit would be a massive boost to match their energy.

I reckon if we can field a team looking similar to the following that I'd be confident we can overcome them enough to make the 2nd leg a real uphill task for them:

Lloris
Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Rose
Wanyama Winks Sissoko
Eriksen Dele
Lucas

If we can get something similar out, even if we have to get Llorente in there for Winks if he's not up to it, then we have a real chance.

Yeah like anyone watched Porto Liverpool. Even the Scousers probably ended up watching our game Vs City.

I wonder if Vertonghen was rested on Saturday so that he could play as LWB ( a much more energy sapping position than CB) for either all or half this match - gives us another attacking option in the absence of the suspended Son. If so I think Davies will be named rather than Rose to keep them guessing who plays where,

Last Thursday press conference seemed to suggest Winks was defintely out still but Sissoko was marginal for Saturday so logically should be ok for Ajax. Not sure if Wanyama or Dier to partner him - both seems excessive - so likely that Llorente starts ?

Doesn't leave any attacking options on the bench though unless Poch drafts in a youngster.
 
Lets not pretend after losing 1-0 to a pretend football club like west ham that we are on an equal footing with Ajax ( given the circumstance). No kane or Son & a tired squad riddled with injury. Crowd need to put the prawn sandwiches down & get behind the team in this historic champions league semi-final.
Fucking crowd need to move their lazy nonchalant arses and get back in their seats for HT kick-off! Man, so annoyed at the thought of some of the fair-weather dickheads going to this.
 
I am currently in hospital, so I can't go to the game or even get to a pub.

I have a laptop with me. Can anyone recommend any sites that I can stream on a Windows laptop?

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Also, would it be better to ask again half hour before kick off so that people know for sure the stream is working.

I am not sure if I am meant to ask this sort of question; if I shouldn't, I apologise.
