Don't think so, mentions it twice.
You may think different when you watch it, but I doubt it.

I can't say I'm that arsed to be honest. I wouldn't want Juventus to stay in the competition too long, prefer teams who play more attacking football.

[Red_Rich]

Fair play to pochetino there in his interview

Kept a level of dignity and honesty that the likes of mourinho can only dream of

I like the guy

[Buck Pete]

Well we will see what their history means should they be facing Mane, Salah and Bobby in the next round then.

And their fans are pelting us with bottles of piss. Horrible bastards

Hope they get Madrid who proceed to rub Chiellin’s nose in it

[Ray K]

Tony Nunez in the second leg.

And some people don't think Rafa was a genius. Heathens.

[Red_Rich]

For the record .. even though I like the way spurs play and I think they were good over the two games, I’m glad they’re out
Fuck off Harry Kane

Apart from the whole diving admissions of his, kind of sours his personality a bit. Plus he doesn't half talk some utter shit sometimes 

[RedSince86]

I sincerely hope Juventus make tonight's game the main focus of another episode of their Netflix series

Netflix were in London with them.

Should be a interesting watch.

[Barneylfc∗]

Now to listen to the ITV wankfest followed by them being devastated 

[jillcwhomever]

I would love us to be the team to put them out to be honest. 

[Gerry Attrick]

YES!

[thegoodfella]

Tony Nunez in the second leg.

No Gerrard, Xabi coming back from injury, Djimi at LB, and here's the bench that day: Carson, Warnock, Welsh, Potter, Smicer , Le Tallec, Cisse.

[Gerry Attrick]

If tonight's ref doesn't get another Champions League game for years it'll still be too soon. Missing that foul on Costa is inexcusable.

[rushyman]

What a ridiculous game that was. Juve ropa doped them

That was a masterclass from 60th minute on. They set up that back 4 and turned into a moving wall in front of the goal

[Gerry Attrick]

The moment when Chiellini cut out a cross destined for Kane was brilliant. That's somebody that loves defending.

[rushyman]

Ooohhhhhhh wheeeen theeeee spuuuuuuurs

1-1

Ohhhhhhhh whee...

1-2

[Red_Rich]

Still can’t work out how Tottenham are out as I thought they’d won the first leg?! 😂😂😂

[conman]

Ooohhhhhhh wheeeen theeeee spuuuuuuurs

1-1

Ohhhhhhhh whee...

1-2



Ohhhh

[Red_Rich]

True
But at least he didn’t bleat and moan like a tart the way Maureen would

[burriana]

Fucking made up that shower are out of the CL. I want proper CL nights at Anfield, hosting European royalty not effing Spurs. Hope Chelsea and United go the same way.

[Pistolero]

beautiful the way the first Juve goal went in right in the middle of that fuckin horrendous 'when the spurs go marching in' dirge ...stopped it stone dead 

[Xabi Gerrard]

The moment when Chiellini cut out a cross destined for Kane was brilliant. That's somebody that loves defending.

He's a proper joy to watch. Old school rugged Italian defenders are one of the most beautiful things in football.

[Gerry Attrick]

Very few like him these days, that's for sure.

[Samie]

To think the media would have you believe Spurs re some kind of European royalty. 

[Johns_Barn]

Chiellini's head really does remind me of those ancient busts of Roman emperors

With a name like yours I will not argue.

[RedSince86]

With a name like yours I will not argue.

[Nick110581]

Can you win the CL in a calendar year ? Asking for a friend. 

[harleydanger]

beautiful the way the first Juve goal went in right in the middle of that fuckin horrendous 'when the spurs go marching in' dirge ...stopped it stone dead 

Was so perfect

[Skeeve]

Shakhtar, Liverpool, Wigan and Basel are the only teams to beat City this season 

Possibly two CL quarter-finalists in that list to be fair.

[Caligula?]

You have to say that supporters of sides from other nations shit all over the support and atmosphere found in English stadiums. The Porto and Basel fans were magnificent in supporting their teams even though it was a lost cause, and other than the occasional "Oh when the Spurs...." for Tottenham they were poor as well for having 80,000+ odd supporters watching them.

[End Product]

Proper tight European knockout football.  Spurs deserved the lead but a bad ten minutes,  and juventus had it in both boxes.  Unsure if they can win it, buffon was at fault for all of their goals and there midfield looked average in a high tempo game.

Atmosphere wise it was fascinating,  was poor on the television, groans after they gave the ball away at 1-1,  spurs fans lacked the belief and defence you would get at European giant.

Weaknesses are there, would have no fear playing them.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

The spurs fans folded as soon as they went down 2-1, offered no support to their side after that

[Xxavi]

I ended up being happy for Juve. They looked out, they looked like an old team (a bit like Barca). But I dislike Poch, and all the hype around him. Glad that Max Allegri has shown him his place in world football.

Quote me on this, if PSG get Poch, they won't win CL.

[alonsoisared]

in isolation that was probably one of our greatest results of all time. The team we had had no business getting through against an obscenely good juve team. Only a 2-1 lead to protect in probably the most intimidating away we could possibly play. What a night.

[elsewhere]

Chiellini. What a man of class, what a great personality and top 3 defender of last decade.

[Golyo]

True
But at least he didn’t bleat and moan like a tart the way Maureen will

Had to correct you

[Nick110581]

Mad they lost after winning the first leg 2-2.

[Grobbelrevell]

Ooohhhhhhh wheeeen theeeee spuuuuuuurs

1-1

Ohhhhhhhh whee...

1-2

 

Made me chuckle as well, that.

[Lofty Ambitions]

Almost made it again, with help from the match officials, buggers. Lots of shouts for the blatant penalty not given, and how could you miss that, but hardly a word with Kane's late header having been a yard offside at the time of the cross send towards him. It was very clear from the side angle, how could they miss that as well 

Good riddance.

[Alan_X]

I’m not going to highlight anyone’s posts but go back and look at the discussion around this:

They only need one - if Spurs don't score. Last thing they'll do is go gung-ho and allow Spuds to attack at pace, or blow themselves out early.

And with 1-0 at the break it was ‘all over’ with 45 minutes still to play.

[Qston]

Still chuckling to myself. Boy did they blow that. In fairness they were the better side over the 2 legs but haven`t learnt yet to kill off a game (something we lacked for quite a while until relatively recently).

Think son is a great player by the way. Would love him in our squad.
