Brave man.Lol, he's my best friend, and tbh I'd resigned myself to them winning it so just went with the flow. Gave as good as I got and when Demba tucked it away I just hoovered up those tears
I think it helped that I was distracted with my Masters that season, so I never really got fully invested... Unlike the LVG years. The less said of which, the better! Can't believe I was one of his loyalists, right up to the very end.Brave man.
Best friend or not I was ignoring every Liverpool fan in site.
'Steve Gerrard, Steve Gerrard, he gave it to Demba Ba'. What a song.
You couldn't write a better thriller as a United fan especially after the season we were having. For Liverpool to come that close, after 24 years was just majestic.
Forest back to back EC winners tooMate this idea that only winners are always remembered is bollocks. In my lifetime Spurs have won a UEFA Cup, a few FA Cups and League Cups yet they're talked about as a nothing club with no history on here. I saw Ipswich under the great Bobby Robson win the UEFA Cup and more significantly Aston Villa winning the European Cup. No one talks about them winning what was a very prestigious competition. That Villa side is practically unheralded despite being the Kings of Europe. This is not ancient history. This was the 1980s.
You are so right, and good of you to post your mature thoughts. Of course they didn’t bottle anything. Such an exciting team, and Juve so boring. If not for the goals that Juventus scored, Tottenham would have beat them. They ought not to count, as they were just a few minutes apart, and rest of the game was dominated by Spurs.I am absolutely disgusted by the posts here since the game ended. You are a god damn disgrace to the forum. Grow up and learn to see football further from some "Old" beef. Spurs are very exciting team to watch and it's very unfair that they were knocked out by the experienced side, they didn't bottle anything.. They outplayed Juventus in both games, just were very unfortunate for a short time.
Yeah we '''battered" then at OT this season tooAnd they battered us a few weeks ago.
Don't think we can laugh much.
They play much much better football than us and we probably would've done worse than them against Juve.
Not trying to be negative but let's call a spade a spade, they play better football than us.
only the Caf.We are struggling against the mighty Seville after splashing near a billion pounds. They spend almost nothing and play better than us. We can't laugh.
It's borderline weird.There's a lot of United fans on here taking Spurs loss very personally
jesus christWe are struggling against the mighty Seville after splashing near a billion pounds. They spend almost nothing and play better than us. We can't laugh.
?? Inter were 1-0 up then got a penalty and red card for 2-0 in the first 15 minutes. They demolished spurs and the red card was a direct consequence of their early dominationBecause of the Gomes red card.
When they faced each other 11 vs 11 you saw the out come

Of course, there are no trophies for exciting football.
You play Runescape, and love spurs?! Who do I contact about taglinesLet me help you with the [sarcarsm][/sarcasm] tags here Here you go buddy!!
I am really loving the depth of the topic here, I can see that not many of you are wiser than usual lot of Brits I deal with on Runescape forums daily..
Oh well, so much for laughing at Spurs going out to Juventus
So unless we win league or CL every season we can't laugh at any team?To everyone who laughed at Spurds I hope you are proud of yourself. Spurds deserved more respect and now look what you made happen.
Nope. Only Liverpool and City fans.Am I allowed a smirk?
You mean fans of teams not actually focused on in this thread? OkNope. Only Liverpool and City fans.
Yes. And Moyes fans as well:You mean fans of teams not actually focused on in this thread? Ok
OuchYes. And Moyes fans as well:
"Moyes’ United outperforms Mourinho’s United in the Champions League. Moyes still United’s best CL manager since Ferguson."
Incredible that four years later he can still dine out on having lead against Bayern for a few minutesYes. And Moyes fans as well:
"Moyes’ United outperforms Mourinho’s United in the Champions League. Moyes still United’s best CL manager since Ferguson."
Yeah, kinda like how all the United fans laughed out loud in the thread focused on spurs a week ago.You mean fans of teams not actually focused on in this thread? Ok
We're not. Neither are Liverpool or Arsenal, in my view.Beat Liverpool, Arsenal and United this season. Unless you don't class yourself as a 'top team' that is.....
Of course. No point giving it out if you can't take any back. Live by the sword...Am I allowed a smirk?
True, Spurs did well. I believe they miss a couple of quality players in the defensive department. Bang average British players likeSpurs outplay Juventus over two legs but make a couple of defensive mistakes and get punished for it and it's called a bottle job. What a joke.
At least Spurs actually played, performed against and beat some truly elite sides in the CL this season. When Spurs beat Madrid people said Madrid were past it, the same Madrid who thrashed everyones favourites PSG and are now in the last 8.
I've said it before, United and Liverpool haven't played a single top side in the CL this season and as soon as they do they will lose. United have now exited before they even played a top side.
Liverpool are next, they will be thumped against a proper elite side.
Spurs have have their head held high as they actually took the game to the elite sides and showed they belong to be there.
dominated whom? I think you must have seen a different game mate. Kane is a great player and he certainly had a few good plays as it is normal, but he did not dominate anybody and after the first 10 minutes he was never effective except on the offside post allowed by the Polish clowns who were refereeing (making incredible mistake in both directions, but mostly against juve).Kane dominated Chiellini anyways, that wasn't the problem. Spurs lost a lot when Chiellini clattered Dele out of the game, probably the turning point in the match (he played on for 15 minutes or so but was clearly useless).
United fans are a rather delicate bunch, but I'm sure we can handle a few green smilies!Am I allowed a smirk?
You're such an idiotTo everyone who laughed at Spurds I hope you are proud of yourself. Spurds deserved more respect and now look what you made happen.
I'd agree with some of that. I think in general Spurs played better in the two legs but you were by far more clinical and that's ultimately the difference between a decent team and a top team like yourselves. I classify you as the 4th best club in Europe right now so losing to you is no embarrassment. As for Pochettino, I just think he's naive and a bit inexperienced in these tough games. He's improving in the PL in these tough games but he's still under performing like his players when it really matters.dominated whom? I think you must have seen a different game mate.

I think on balance Spurs played two good games but they were very naive tactically and they were luckily for us made pay for it. I believe that the winning mentality is also a question of experience and if they keep the team together and get some decent CB they will definitely be in a position to win. Before the game I quite liked Pochettino, after the game I am not sure any more he is the right guy to lead them to the next level, his tactical mistakes when it mattered and most of all his ridiculous comments of Juve management influencing the referees (after that game no less) do not make me think of somebody with a winning mentality

That's why a 2 yard Kane was not flagged offside and Tottenham almost scored twice from it to equaliseI was at the game and the referee changed after the half time. In the first half he was very fair, second half he gave everything to Juventus and I actually noticed this before Poch then came out to say that Juventus had hassled the ref at half time. Whatever Juventus did, it worked.
