When he actually meant by playing dirty and not get penalised.. There, ask the twat Barzagli.
Experience is way too overrated IMVHO.. Important, but not the holy grail. Mentality is more.

Yes it sucks to lose tonight. But realistically we were not going to win it. Plus the risk is higher than the reward of going further in the competition. The risk is that we miss 4th place next year and lose our best players. weve banked alot of money and given ourselves a real chance to qualify again next year by having less games.
Plus there is also the FA cup which, we can win.

They are masters of what I like to call the dark arts of football.
They get inside the officials head from the first minute, which usually results in them getting free kicks every time they decide to hit the ground, something they do more of when they are on the back foot, defending a lead.
This leads to them disrupting the rhythm and flow of their opponents game and leads to them getting into their opponents heads and their opponents forgetting the game plan. By the time their opens have settled again, the damage has been done.
Don’t give a shit about all you WTF commenters credit is give
But he has a point we were not solid defensively over the two legs we gave them too many chances... Now Poch should have sorted that..
I've had on of them crowing about who we're playing in the next round, so I asked him who his team were playing.

Agree.. Not the smartest way, but is the Tottenham way. Bill Nicholson would be proud. In the modern football though, that is probably another different matter.
Have you been working your inner Joaquin Phoenix?

Just goes to show, you can’t switch off for a minute in the Knock out stages
I think we need to buy a bit of experience. Modric in that side and we win the tie 100%

No he wouldn't, where is this idea that Bill didn't want to win trophies come from? It came from fans happy where we are, it's not that we lost tonight but that we didn't have to lose. We weren't the plucky underdog, she should have won. Bill would not be proud.
Poch's brain scrambled as did the team at that point. It was a shame. I think Kane has gone off the boil.

Whisper it perhaps, but he's not been quite at his usual supreme level for a few games. Hoping for a hat trick against Bournemouth.
What are you blathering about now?

I wonder if the stuff about the team and Poch not being smart about defending the lead - or shutting up shop when Juve equalised misses the point - Poch makes a huge deal about being brave and I wonder if that's what we tried to do tonight?

It was that period of utter shithousery from Juventus that swung it in their favour. Or at the very least kept them holding on. We started the second half very well and well on top. For a while the only thing Juventus had kicked was Dele Alli. We were looking like creating opportunities at ease so out came the cynical fouls, hacks, kicks. Let's face it, they probably should have been down to 9 men before the equaliser, Barzagli and Pjanic incredibly lucky to stay on. It didn't get the rise or reaction out of us they wanted, but it certainly stopped our momentum which they then took advantage of.
