Is this our peak? Will we not get any better? Our squad is a young squad and improving. Our youth personnel is stuffed to the gills with potential. We won't even begin to fulfill our potential off the pitch until the stadium has been up and running for a few seasons - and will that have a knock-on effect on-pitch. As said in another thread - we have been building the launch pad, now we are ready for take-off!

[Spurs won't get any better]...but we will. Will you? Are you so sure of that? You won't get that much better until Klippity realises he has to tailor his defensive unit to English football's requirements. Has he done that so far? Liverpool are now the fifth best financed club in England and, in terms of everything but finances, behind the sixth best financed club, Spurs in just about every other way. I see no immediate improvement in sight - just a blind faith that Klippity has bought you some great attacking football, while totally unbalancing his team, so if his spends some more money that is inherently going to be less that United, City, Chelsea and ArseAnal can spend, all will come well.

Failed to get second...blah blah blah...two horse race...blah blah blah. Leicester finished above everyone that season...not just Spurs (you fucking plank). It will probably be Liverpool's best chance of winning the league in year', too - it's just that we got closer than you. Perhaps that is because it was so early in Poch's building process (y'know the building process you are deifying for Klippity...who is now further into his building process that Poch was, but further away from the top). Blah blah bloody Scouse BS blah. PS - squad building is an ongoing process, didn't watching the detested Ferguson even teach the most knowledgeable fans in the World that!

The only real players we have been buying are squad players... LoL. That is because our young and improving 1st team, y'know, the one that finished above Liverpool in seven of the last eight seasons, is pretty good. The common refrain all Spurs fans have become familiar with has been that our first team was great but we had no squad depth. So..yeah...we bought squad players. What would you have done you pea-brained Mickey twat? Bought one over budget player every season? Besides, they has been far more to our buying policy than buying squad players. We have bought some potentially excellent young players. And Poch has said we are in a new phase of buying...looking for genuine 1st team players now. Scouse plank!

Klippity has slowing been buying and moulding the team he wants...and is still three or four players shy. I'll say. Three or four players, and does that include a defensive unit? Just because Klippity was able to buy and mould a team over several seasons in a one-horse race in Germany, it doesn't mean he will be able to succeed in a league with different requirements and four teams who can outspend him and another one that is better in just about every other way than finances, ATM.

Talk to me when Klopp has the starting XI he wants - LoL. Poch started making Spurs competitive immediately, with hardly no players he wanted. Even when he had to freeze 1st team players out and play untested youth. Difference in mentality...and Poch's is better than constantly justifying lack of competitiveness on not having the players he wants.


when that happens
[Klippity gets the four players needed for first team presumably]. But what if he doesn't? What if he suddenly realises he needs another one - always easy to do when success isn't attained. Rodgers achieved more in the amount of time than Klippity has. How long before his position is in jeopardy? Oh, no, sorry, that will be never, as you have blind and absolute faith in Klippity. But never had the same in Rodgers? LoL.


I guarantee you we'd have won a hell of a lot more than Tottenham have. What, starting from today? Okay, will file away for future reference. :)

p.s. Yeessssssssss, Newcaslte 1 Manchester United Nil. ???What does Valencia have to do to get sent off???

Epic as usual SP but you had me at ‘but we will’ :D

Are the Juve fans confident then?

Safe to say they aren't as nervous as we are. Mostly they seem to think it will be close but they will edge it

I can't say I'm not a bit worried. But after watching the North London Derby, which I think Spurs should have closed out way before the final whistle, they do show some glaring weaknesses at times.

I could see us taking this leg 1-0, but it's going to be a hard fought one.

Of all the Prem teams we could have drawn, Spurs were the team I least wanted, because they are probably the Prem team I like the most due to Eriksen and Son.

Spurs are good. This year they have been a bit more inconsistent than last seasons, but they are still a good and strong core.

You showed up against Real Madrid in the group stages, and have a quality team. Anyone underestimating Spurs is a fool.

With that being said. I do feel like we're favorites by a slight margin, and if tonight ends with a two-goal advantage. We're definitely going to try to close Wembley off as much as possible.

Others not so much

Juventus is simply better in every single position.

I predict a 2-0.

Anyone else feel that although Spurs are a great team they don't have the right weapons to hurt us? I have this feeling they're gonna walk straight onto our lap - I hope the players and Allegri don't feel the same way.

Someone please post this recent Justin Kluivert quote on RAWK:

Justin Kluivert said:
“If you get a nice offer, you never know,” Kluivert told Helden magazine.

England appeals to me: Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea or Manchester United are nice clubs where I can see myself playing in a few years.

“Everywhere I go abroad they know my father, he often asked: ‘Come to Barcelona, I’ll give a tour of Camp Nou’.

“I really wanted to go to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid. Barcelona is in my heart, but who am I to say no to Real Madrid?”

From Arsenal Mania

Weird seeing a team fight back down 2-0 instead of capitulating to lose 5-1 like a proper club

Spurs have started awfully but have comeback and are battering Juve. If we were down 2-0 we’d be creating nothing and conceding 2 more

It's a travesty really. This is not what football should be like. #NotMyFootball

Fair play to them. I almost feel sorry for them!
