Am I right in thinking if Spurs score, Basel will need two because of the incredibly unfair away goal rule in ET

You are

Any minute now you'll get 'Basel get 120 mins to score at their ground' which simply doesnt level it in my opinion

You're right, it probably doesn't level it.  HOWEVER don't the stats suggest that the team with the home leg second (in unseeded games, as including seeded ties is unfair as better teams tend to play at home second)... but the team with the second leg at home goes through around 55-60% of the time don't they?  Have I just made that up?  I think the away goal rule needs to be looked at though, so that it becomes irrelevant after 180 minutes.

Maybe they should play 15 minutes there then fly over to White Hart Lane for the second half.

Fuck's sake Basel, just stick it in the net.

I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

I believe we have only ever lost one.  I remember that stat from before the 2005 final, when we had lost one, and Milan had NEVER lost.  Since that day we've won the FA Cup, League Cup, and another European Cup Semi final on pens.  Ridiculous record.
