Great column in yesterday's Evening Standard

[camaj]

I was browsing the Evening Standard yesterday afternoon (apologies for confusing non-londoners) and saw a lovely column about the CL draw. I probably can't paste it all but this bit got me drooling

Spurs in the Champions League sounds good. Imagine: Harry Redknapp's ruddy mug on the sidelines at the San Siro. Leo Messi bounding down the tunnel at White Hart Lane. It'd be like schooldays, when you saw your French teacher in the supermarket on a Saturday: a stab of recognition followed by deep confusion about the alien context.

:clap::clap:

He did cock it up with this next bit though

Since they play in The Most Exciting League In The World (TM), Spurs have a good UEFA coefficient. (I would explain further but you'd soon be off to Dignitas, demanding the barbiturates.)

Our previous european achievements have a lot to do with it too, not just the league

You can read the whole thing here

...(apologies for confusing non-londoners) and ...

Well, it's not hard is it?

I read it yesterday and thought the same. Makes a change from the usual pro-Arsenal/Chelsea rubbish that they usually publish.

It's an insult, Camaj.

Good call on the last line. To Switzerland indeed.
