Football is an insane game.

Spurs were the better team for 87 minutes of the game, yet lost the tie in 3 minutes.

No complaints from me, prefer drawing Juve later on in the competition compared to Spurs.

What a finish that was by Dybala as well. So many times the player through in that situation doesn't smash it in and lift it over the keeper like that. He made absolutely sure.

Hahaha, oops. Got that one wrong

well yeah, but you where right that they where shit! they where for large portions of the game!

oh and well done Basel too, yeah they are out, but that team City put out was still about 350 mills worth!

Ballsacks.

Sorry mate but you need to get the winning habit. As it is you’ve just replaced Arsenal as North London’s nearly men.

What was Lloris doing for the 2nd goal, ran back to the line and didn't come out until Dybala was well inside the box. Lovely result, definitely didn't see it coming after the first half.

All this talk in the media of the English teams dominating the Champions League this season, but I can see Chelsea and United go out next week which would leave only City and the might reds in the quarters.

Man of the match all day was Chiellini. Just a fucking tower. Sure he's a bit of a dick at times but what an awesome centre-back.

Robinred · « **Reply #2932 on:** March 7, 2018, 09:45:25 pm »

Stevie and the other pundits are claiming Spurs were the better team, and deserved to go through.

But that ignores the blatant penalty the ref bottled in the first half.

Another gripe from me, is the hype surrounding Dembele. He “looks” the part, but actually slows the game down, and almost never plays a killer pass, or gets a shot off. He’s nothing like the myth that surrounds him.

Our pressing would destroy any Italian team.

Juve love to play it out from defence. I hope we face them.

I wouldn't. They have the experience the same we we did under Rafa.

Would prefer them to Barca, Madrid, Bayern or City.

Lycan · « **Reply #2936 on:** March 7, 2018, 09:46:03 pm »

I don't really have any feelings either way for Spurs, but the way the London media have been wanking over them this season has quite frankly been nauseating in my opinion. Therefore I'm glad they're out.

Was brilliant. Reminiscent of Troy Deeney's vs Ben Foster at the weekend.

If only Dybala didn't just score against italian minnows

Who was supposed to be tracking Dybala for that second goal? Was that Vertonghen with his arm up in the air?
Very poor.

I'm pretty sure Sutton said he'd been fantastic all season at some point tonight, which is utter dogshit. Turns up for a few games a season.

I have no doubt we would batter teams like Real and Juve over two legs, but you can just never count them out due to their Champions League experience. You have to stay switched on the whole team. We don't have that kind of experience yet.

Dembele is like everything spurs, good player but overhyped.

Vertonghen was all over the show there tonight.

And how bad is Wembley for atmosphere? Or is that just Spurs fans?

Davis was deeper than all of the rest of the back line and played him on to be fair.

They're favourites of course but think there's every chance Sevilla could finish them off.

He is telling the truth. On balance of play, they dominated Juve. Made up they are out. Now all we need is for Utd and Chelsea to go out next week.
