I hope the fans fully understand that this is literally a once in a lifetime opportunity for us and fill the surrounding streets and stadium. We need to enjoy this occasion fully.

In a weird way, the injuries are helping in this respect. I'm just thinking about enjoying the game now rather than being on edge about winning or losing. There's not the same expectation as there would be if we were firing on all cylinders.

I'm just going to try to enjoy it. Whatever happens happens.

Agree. But if we don’t win, I’m smashing the gaff up.

Desperately need Sissoko back for this since Poch says Winks is unavailable.

This is going to be my first trip to the new stadium and I cannot wait!

In terms of travel advice from people that have been since we moved in what station is best to go to and from the stadium when travelling from/to Kings Cross?

I will enjoy no matter what, because if there is any team I had to lose to then it would be Ajax. I like them and we have big links to them. Would hate to lose a team like Liverpool in the semis

At 75 quid a ticket I intend to enjoy myself, including standing and singing the whole ninety minutes I would invite those in the south stand to do so too. Let's turn nwhl into a caldron

Can't help but feel gutted that we're going into it so under strength. Particularly that we've produced 2 top class ones of our own from the academy and neither is going to be playing.

Make the most of it doubt we will go any further or get to a semi final for a long time so enjoy
There is no reason to state that it is doubtful that we'll advance. It's a semi final for crying in the night, and there is a reason why we are in it in the first place. This isn't an arrogant post neglecting the sizeable task of the defeating Ajax over two legs, but to literally doubt the possibility, puzzles me to no end.

This is true, but I think this is just for my own good and mental state. In reality, I think it's a damn shame we're going into a match this big with the depleted squad that we have. I am with you in that it's nice to go into the game not feeling the same nerves, but I know I'd rather be nervous as fuck, and have Kane, Lamela, Sissoko, Winks, Auirer and Son all available.

We scraped through the group and had a touch of fortune against both Dortmund and city to get where we are, but let's be realistic if we got through are we going to beat Liverpool or Barcelona no is the answer so that is why I say enjoy the moment especially as we don't do semi finals or pressure.

Sorry but I have to disagree because I think Ajax are due a bad game and Spurs are quite capable of turning them over. I also think the club is evolving (despite today's result) into a top, top side provided the financial investment is forthcoming for players next season, and we'll see them in the latter stages of many more CL's.

(No I haven't been drinking........well not much anyway)

Anything can happen in a single game if (BIG IF) we make it to the final.

Not expecting much with our injuries and the form ajax are in and having a week off.

That said its a champions league semi final, something we may never see again! So i will soak it all in and enjoy whatever the outcome.
