Got to say a big well done to Tottenham for their first trip in the CL. They qualified top of their group and set a new record of scoring 2 goals or more in each of their group games. And, they're entertaining to boot.

Well done Twatty Bollox!

Fucl the big nosed brigade merchant fuclers ;o)

Benitez must be feeling the heat at inter, another poor result today and by Inters standards are struggling in the league

How did the Shite get on?

Edit: Came top, hopefully get Inter and they play well - Inter that is.

They're great going forward but spurs cant defend for shit! Get a decent team in the next round and they'll get hammered

Yep, but it beats watching some back to the wall shit that we're used to from the CL.

No doubt about it mate, very entertaining and good to watch.

Hate em so want em to stay in as long as they can (in fact hope theu play a shed load of games without winning anything). Glad they won the group because it means they can't drop into the Europa and do their usual number on us.

Have to agree re Spurs, they have been outstanding so far and have played as a true unit in all games. We could learn a lot from them!

Glorified pub team with chronic defensive incontinence. Prone to rolling over and having tummies tickled when playing taggart's mob and have yet to win an away game outside of London.

Think I'll pass on the love in.

Wow.

I think the mention was for the Champions League, where they have just beaten the holders to top spot playing exciting football.

Credit where credit is due I reckon. Also, its not as if we can laugh at how they're doing in the premier league.

They are useless at the back & scared shitless of the rags but the attributes they have in attack are exactly what we miss. If we could combine our attacking passing game with some of Spurs' kitchen sink football, we would be completely unstoppable but currently I don't think we have the players to do it so effectively as they do.

Currently every man and his dog is beating Inter Milan and Spurs beat them once. They did actually lose the away match.

Arsenal et al qualify for the last 16 on a regular basis so personally I don't see the need to start threads or buy the commemorative DVD of this 'glorious achievement' even if we feel obliged to do so because its the first time in living memory that an English manager has done this.

Spurs like most teams play some good football and some wretched football. They do not, as someone posted, "play as a unit" all the time or even some of the time. If they did they wouldn't concede so many fucking goals. In 8 CL matches including the qualifier they have conceded what 14 goals? Maybe more I lost count but seriously almost 2 a game and they play as a unit?

Spurs are a good side and I have a soft spot for 'arry but endless dick sucking about 'how wonderful they are' is starting to grate especially when it is rooted more in fiction than hard fact.

You sound jealous mate. I don't think anyone is saying 'How wonderful' they all are but merely mentioning that they have done well in the CL.

In some ways you cant blame the press for getting excited.. they always back prem teams in europe so nothing new there.

Personally i think spurs are setting themselves up for a fall. They should be concentrating on the prem otherwise they could end up as a one season wonder a la Everton. But they have been sucked in and are now starting to believe their own hype, the more they do that the harder the fall.. Now officially 'going for it', they will hit a brick wall soon enough in the knock-out stages and then their dreams will be in tatters and off the pace in the prem. I also believe they have been led into a false sense of security in their group, all and sundry saying it was a really tough group, reality is that Milan are now crap under Rafa and what that says about the rest of the group is fairly easy to suss out.

Well I look forward to the Arsenal thread tomorrow assuming they qualify and no doubt the 'pip, pip hoorah' thread celebrating the rags triumphal procession to the last 16 is done and just waiting for you to hit the 'submit' button. Go for it.

We have a great opportunity to put some distance between us & Spurs over the next month; everyone is fit, the team are starting to gel as an attacking force. All we have to do, is get the results you would expect a side of our standard to get & not fuck up too much. Then all we have to do is match Spurs' results for the rest of the season, with a bigger squad whilst they possibly battle in the Chump's League. If we can open up a decent gap, it gives us the chance to go after rags & Arsenal without having to look behind us too much; ideal situation. Meanwhile, stuff is happening behind the scenes at Chelsea & they could come under pressure from Spurs. Come on City.

Wooooooo, check you out! Now you are sounding like a jealous cry baby. Is that your dummy in the corner?

As it stands i think that any one of Chelsea, Arsenal and rags could be under pressure to land 4th. Spurs are in the mix not so much that they are looking like they will push into the top 4, but more that they will do a better than average job of taking points of them (apart from the rags of course). Spurs will crash to the Boltons the weekend after a chumps game, which was always on the cards, all their supporters knew it and is already happening. sad init!

All in all though yes it looks more that they will do us favours rather than anything else.

Yeah that would be it. This from the man fawning over Spurs like a love sick girl. Just hit the submit button. You know you want to.
