20:33 Goal Tottenham 1-0 Besiktas - Harry Kane
Nabil Bentaleb turns on a sixpence to change the whole angle of attack and feeds Harry Kane. The young striker advances to the edge of the box and lets fly before a mob of defenders can descend on him.
The ball arrows into the bottom corner, pinging in off the inside of the foot of the post.
20:16YELLOW CARDS Tottenham 0-0 Besiktas
Tasty starters at White Hart Lane as Demba Ba goes into the book for a challenge on Vlad Chiriches. Spurs' Ben Davies follows shortly after for a foul on Veli Kavlak.

Hoping for a very open, attacking game in this one. They will come after us with some very good attackers, so frankly I think it's up to us whether we push back or try to just maintain possession. Need to get some points for the group, so I like to think we'll whip the nuts out n go at them.

Really wanted to go to this and thought it would be 1882 . I imagine the turks will create a cracking atmosphere.

Yusssss!!

Going to this, first time sitting in the west stand...packing some sandwiches, probably prawn based....hope its not too loud, i might catch up on some paperwork while im there....

JOKES!!

LETS GO FACKIN' MENTAL, LETS GO FACKIN' MENTAL OOOOOEEEEOOOOOEEEEE!!! OOOOOOEEEEEOOOOOOEEEEEEE!!!!

whats the deal with hip-flasks? do they 'allow' them?

Looking forward to it- haven't slept very well lately but this should definitely do the trick.

Another week and another mid-week cup game for me to go to... Really hope we're feeling the buzz after the last two games still, and make a nice, noisy atmosphere in the ground... because we can rest assured the Besiktas lot will be singing and chanting and jumping around from the moment they enter the ground to the moment they get shuffled back down the high road.

Just read all of your posts, that should also do the trick...

This will be a tough game, liked the look of this lot against Arsenal. I think we will have to field a stronger than usual cup team for this one to get anything from it.

Although they drew with Asteras(?) at home in first game so who knows. Just hope we start finding the back of the net regularly.

Id like to see Lamela, Eriksen and Chadli start this one with Soldado upfront to see if they all click. Bobby is staved of any service with Lennon, Andros and Paulinho behind him.

I think the atmosphere tonight from the away fans will force a reaction from the home fans. That will hopefully work in our favour on the pitch.

 

[Mr Pink]

Tricky game, but its a good thing they did well against Arsenal recently. Means we won't underestimate them.

We should still win this though.

 

[Kendall]

Not bothered about who we pick, I just hope we don't play like a bunch of individuals as seems to be customary in the Europa.

It matters this year, I think it's easier to qualify for the CL by this route than the league. We have to win our home games as any away matches in the Europa are never easy. Cabbage patch pitches and hostile crowds ensure that.

 

[SteveH]

This is going to be in no way a gimme.

We are not in the best shape ourselves so I'm a little uneasy about tonight.

COYS

 

[Spurger King]

doing a 7 to 7 shift and getting back home 10 minutes before kick off. We'd better bloody win!

 

[SPURSLIFE]

I think there will be goals. I've had a few quid on 2-2 at 18-1. "Get in the hoooooole !!!"

Remembering a Spurs great today.

I just saw Soldado in Marylebone Waitrose buying ham. Make of that what you will.

An obvious draw. 3-3 or 4-4 or even fudging 5-5. But draw it is.

Bloody hell, I was only 3 streets away about half an hour ago!

Rules him out as being a Jew, as such I suppose he is therefore a "pussy."
