I was going to say. I have seen plenty worse.OK not as bad as the coventry final in terms of a result but going to Inter with a 3-0 lead that should have been at least 5 and sit through 90 minutes of the inevitable slow creep into failure was awful imo
It's not the worst, the last 5-2 game or the 7-1 are ahead of that for me. Tonights game was up there with the most nervy though, if I'd measured the weight of my pants in every game I've watched over the years, I bet tonight they would have had one of the heaviest ammounts of excrement in them of all time.worst game ive ever had to watch....... why did we have to make it so tough????

In Milan, went mental when we scored! Sang my heart out during my first euro away day! Up the spurs!
Quality first post. May there be many more like it.Awful performance. I aged 10 years in 2 hours. We started with 2 strikers, Defoe and Ade, neither of whom made any difference ( Adebayors goal was a tap in after Moussa's effort). They had Cassano and Palacio who were both constantly dangerous. Why, when our strikers get the ball do we always think " He'll lose it " but when their strikers get the ball we are scared. Also our midfield were useless all night. Theirs played some great through balls. For us Holtby just kept kicking out at them and losing the ball. Livermore did a "Jenas". Parker tried to run through them but just doesn't have the speed. Moussa was average until he stepped up and made the goal. At the lane against Inter I thought we played as well as we have for years and made Inter look like a championship side. Tonight we looked like the championship side and, for a while, it looked like we didn't know how to score a goal
Reminds me of Young Boys a few years back - that gave the squad a wake up and i hope this does too. Bale back for sunday and got to get back to winning ways!
Yep, beat Bordeaux.Please tell me benfica went through. I can't remember what it's like to be warm and get a cheap pint.
To be fair, Inter are better than we thought. We went there looking to get an early goal and we started well but didn't score. We did well not to implode straight away after letting in the first goal and we passed it well but once the second went in it was always going to be nervy. They did well to start off extra time with a higher tempo and we got a goal after big Jan and gallas missed open headers.
I'm not going to say anymore about the ref but I'm so glad that we are through despite him. I'm just glad my heart rate has started to slow down and the relief and excitement is setting in because we're in the quarters!
