I hope this is the game that kick-starts Spurs' European mojo. We've lost that in the modern era after 3 European trophies up until the ban on English sides through the late 80s. Since then, we've got a patchy (at best) qualification record and underwhelming performances of late when we have qualified. We could do with another run like the Bale-inspired adventure to the 1/4 finals in 2010/11. It's time to put a marker down, get this group off to a great start, advance like we've got somewhere to go, and establish ourselves as perennial CL competitors.

Have I loaded enough expectation on to this one performance and result?

Why does everyone keep saying how difficult it is to get to Wembley...surely it's far easier to get to Wembley than it was to get to WHL???

Er, well that obviously depends on where you're coming from.

And it's not so much getting there as getting back that's the problem.

Loads of Germans here. Especially around Lidl, they must have sensed home.

Looking forward to the line-up.

Hoping to see Sanchez and Aurier start, but I can understand if they don't. I suspect Dembele will be playing after being rested for most of the Everton game.

Either way, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy this as much as I can. We're underdogs in this group anyway so might as well go for it.
