It was great watching the Champion's League highlights last night and hearing so many positive things about Spurs.

They all seem eager for us to qualify because we have been a breathe of fresh air to the competition with our all out attacking football.

Ruud Gullitt loves us and even Richard Keys said that Roma's comeback last night was 'a Tottenham like comeback'.

It's brilliant and long may it continue.

We are great to watch for the neutrals and for us fans. Look at Man Utd's performances in this year's group stage, they have barely put out a full strength outfit and have been dire to watch.

We, on the other hand, have been awesome in the Champions League (not quite so good, overall, in the league I don't think, well not until 2nd half on Saturday anyway!)

The first 45 against Werder Bremen. FC Twente at home. The second 45 against Inter out there. The whole 90 against Inter at home! We've been very entertaining. Loads of goals at both ends (unfortunately for our defence).

Contrast that to some of the Champions League outfits and we are a breath of fresh air. Long live our CL campaign!

The year ends in 1. It's Wembley. Who knows?!

I'm pretty sure the media pundits have been enjoying the welcome change that the entertainment and talking points from our CL games have provided them with - but if we crash out spectacularly, they'll enjoy that just as much. It's all grist to the mill.

Plenty of goals, red cards and penalties. All because we play so open and we've actually done a good job of bringing the Premier League tempo to the Champions League. It seems like the other English teams have been too cautious in the early stages of the Champions League. We've just gone out there and played our game, which is all down to the way Harry sets us out. Even our first leg game at Young Boys was exciting to watch.

I think we'll turn some heads with our Champions League performances. We might sign players we wouldn't expect off the back of it, like we did with Van Der Vaart. I'm sure there are players thinking how good it will be to link up with Bale, VDV and Modric.

This after their performances in the CL im sure a lot of Strikers might have different opinions now about maybe joining us.

I also imagine a lot of right backs wanting to sign for us, just so they dont have to face Gareth Bale :grin:

Maicon anyone?

David Platt didn't really join in on the Spurs loving though :razz:

He seemed so, so bitter.

It wasn't so long ago that the media couldn't say Aidy Boothroyd's name without sandwiching it between "can i just say" and "is a breath of fresh air".

:sleepy:

I know they'll be very happy to point out our shortcomings as soon as it looks like things aren't going our way though. I often think they've already written our obituary.

They seem even worse with arsenal though. As soon arsenal get a run of wins its, "title contenders this, title contenders that" then when they lose a game, the press write them off immediately. Must be very frustrating to support them, a long with the fact they are complete let downs.

That McNulty, piece of shit is the worst, followed by that ape from teeside also at the beeb. Their blogs last year consisted of.. "right what happened at the weekend, ah spurs won, aren't they great they could get fourth...yada yada".......next week "oh spurs drew at home, they aren't capable of breaking the top four, they are infact shit. Isn't that kid breaking into man u's first team good/bad..." etc.

You just have to take everything they say with a pinch of salt. Praise, negativity. What difference does it make to us, the fans? None. No difference at all!
