coffee and several brandies in the nearest cafe would be my suggestion

If you remember, you remember!
In incidentally... If you wanna 'Crossroads moment':
Coincidence....? We think not!
Definitely.
I have been to Madrid, Menorca, Seville and Barcelona in the last few months. Not a bad meal had and certainly no runny avocado or cold eggs. The weather has been less kind.
And I read there might be rain to welcome you, but hopefully the sun shines tomorrow evening, and whatever you eat is washed down with the sangria of joy.
For my money the Basque Country has the best food of anywhere in Spain, even at a fairly basic/economic level they take it to a whole new level.
Just play that on loop pre-match in the stadium!!!
Yes, I have a friend who is from Barcelona. Her husband from San Sebastian..A friend of theirs has a husband who is a very accomplished chef so I am told.
I have not been but the food in the Basque region is rated the best in Spain.
If nothing else, Mrs P can expect to be well fed, but I suspect on this one occasion, a bad meal and victory wouldn't be the worst
I am in the office for another few hours before heading to Gatwick , time is going so slowly . Might need to leave way too early just to soak up some atmosphere at Gatwick . Trouble is it is the nearest airport for the Man United fan base so will probably be swarming with them .
Only 20 apparently gone, so reports say.
Buzzing for this now.
Regardless of all the shit that has gone on this is Spurs in a cup final and I can never take that for granted.
With our back 5 plus Biss/Bentancur producing their EL form we have a much better base than United. They also have a powderpuff attack.
I do worry about us going forward without a 10 and the dubious Son/Johnson wide combination.
But at the end of the day we have the better players and we've beaten them 3 times this year. We will never have a better chance of winning a European trophy.
Go out there and do it boys.

So, everyone that has played in the EL?
Safe travels everyone whos going - I hope you all have a great trip with the right result!
I am not nervous in the slightest I have to say. I can't quite put my finger on it but because we have been so bad this season its taken expectation and the weekly pain away from me with the 20 plus defeats and replaced that with numbness and apathy so I feel like this is a huge bonus and opportunity against an awful Man Utd team. They will be thinking the same of course but if we go and be professional our back 4 and Biss / Bent can give us the base to win this game.
I think we are going to do it.
Let us have something to cling on to please.

Driving down to Edmonton shortly for the club coach. It's gonna be a long one
United have a fair bit, so I think they are just favourites. Their injuries are less than ours, and it's United.
We need to be as close to the best whichever group of players are picked, to win this match

That's a shame. Wonder if they'll risk them.
If anyone is going to bottle it then it will be those smug Manc cunts so you’re money is safe mate but another tip has been given for the horse
thread!
