Spurs have just one point from their opening three Champions League matches – that’s the stat we need to rid ourselves of!
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 28 home Champions League games (W26 D2). They’ve scored 87 goals in that run, while conceding just 13 and never more than once in a match.
Since the start of 1976-77, Barcelona have lost just one of their 30 European home matches against English clubs; this coming against Liverpool in February 2007 (1-2).
Barcelona have won their Champions League group for the 12th consecutive season. However, the winner of Group B has only won the Champions League once (Real Madrid in 2013-14).
Barcelona have lost just one of their last 12 Champions League meetings with English clubs (W9 D2 L1), with that defeat coming in November 2016 at Manchester City (1-3).
Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been involved in 28 goals (22 goals, 6 assists) in 29 Champions League appearances against English clubs.
Barcelona’s Lionel Messi has scored 22 goals against English clubs in the Champions League; 10 more than any other player (Cristiano Ronaldo, 12 goals).
It’s mind numbing how poor we are at corners, and so fixable
Not hard to take a better corner, but yeah, his energy and mongrel always helps us
Within a minute of coming on he chased down and won a corner he had no right to win and then delivered our best corner of the match
I prefer vegemite anyhow.
Well if you think I’m open to offers think again young man. I’m appalled!
He was trying everything, so I guess he who tries fails a bit
No sweat.
Sid Trotter = Retrod Tits
I’d move him to keeper
To be fair to Sissy he’s looked good for about a month now. Plays better without Aurier running about like a headless chicken behind him too.
The whole match, him and Stu Holden great to listen to.
Is that the Barca HT team talk?
Oh yes, Moura and Lamela certainly played their part as did others but MS & CE were head and shoulders above the rest.
Eriksen was sublime and Sissoko, what a superb big game player.
Hehe
Rose can’t do his Rose impression anymore!
Started in a similar way tonight too.
And stopped for a quick drag on a fag before he did it
Double D predicted that we’d be sixth in the league, pummelled tonight and out of the C.L.
That along with talking up Woolwich at every available opportunity and he’s a peculiar entity really…
We have enough with Winks/Tin Tin/Sissy/Son/Ali/Lamela to work that out
Real man love juice
I guess i only saw the ones that came off, like the ball through to Harry to set up the goal
I think the Crystal Palace match, when Allardyce was in charge and Eriksen scored a 30 yarder? We switched formations as well, and we took off a carded Moussa?
Cmon Tottenham. Keep playing. Chances will come.
hahahahaha
You had Nash commentating during the match?
Or pre and post match commentary?
Either way, that’s light years more pleasant then the commentating that I endured.
Looking at it Porto or Dortmund looks easier.
I’ll ask Lewis….
Correct
nice 🙂
Moura made the difference too.
eat cheese or a donkey
Very much so. Sounds like we should won by at least 3 away at Barca…..wonder if the knockout stages would see such a performance from them if we meet??
Predictability *
Remarkably plausible! (Easty/Aussie)
lol
With shooting boots on we could have scored 3 or 4, it’s barcelona, they weren’t really trying. Given what we’re capable of (see goon match) I agree, we did rather well.
If we meet again in the knock-outs and beat them again I’ll crack open the 2003 La Chapelle.
infuriating
In response to “We should have had a hatful of goals based on the opportunities we missed tonight so a draw is the least we should have looked for.”
yep
That has only 6 letters
Yeah that is handy !
Two sofas, how much privilege can one person have.This is an outrage
No nuts in my butter, just real men
Currently, not a bad shout!
Someone with no faith!
He out-rosed, Rose.
Poch gives the kids a chance, recently with Foyth and now KWP it’s costing us. Mind you we did sign NOBODY AT ALL.
Perhaps Poch is making a point?
Who plays in the middle with Toby at RB?
If Liverpool loses tonight I will be happier
Yep. What the hell was he picked tonight for?
Thanks
He should be in our squad.
yes, added energy but lacked a bit of class tonight..
Sadly no…..
And my favorite Dutch team with Ajax
The very purest quality. He’d have put that sonny chance top right.
Sky daddy stepped in again
Yes, heard it wrong.
Yes, we can now leave the road to Baku clear for our less illustrious neighbours. Dracula and Co love Thursdays.
Also send one to the Inter left back and their forward Martinez who’missed’ a free header from 6 yards in the last minutes.
On the plus side, the predicdability is making it easier to make money. #WWE
Who saw Dolphins v Patriots at the weekend…..? That’s where its coming from….
Which is why fans that prattle on about the League Cup and that “at least it’s a trophy” do my head in.
That’s the only trophy we’ve won in 20 bloody years and we won it twice. We need to move on from that mentality, it’s a ‘Spursy’ attitude.
There are some out there that would rather win the League Cup rather than qualify for the CL. They’re either mental or still think it’s 1983…
Vipbox football
It’s a terrible call Easty, he’s shown nothing to suggest he could cut it at this level. Why not play Toby at right back (his position for Holland) and drop Dier back as the right sided centre-back. Makes no sense.
Ere we go. Sets it up nicely for a Barca Spurs semi final where we play 3 at the back.
Who, Lamela for KWP?
You can’t make it up!
No thanks, final? We aren’t good enough…
Cant’ remember but i did say ‘typically’ i think he’s allowed to play wherever he likes!
I remember the last time I was allowed in the back door. 27 more muscles and 4 degrees warmer
🤭
I’ve seen it more the left back I think.
Boooooom!! Bitch’zzzzzzzzzzzzzs
It has been posted already but listening to Nash and Holden commentating was a pleasure. Loved the moment Son broke away in the first half and Nash blurted our “Go on Sonny ” ……. 😀
He’ll crack his hips
Character building stuff just after signing a new deal. Like Foyth he’s made a mistake but kept his focus.
No sooner are my eyes open Clive Allen I think is speaking of a February opening date for the stadium, as much as I’d like to live in a world where Spurs get an against the odds draw in the Nou Camp to qualify for the knock out stages its all a little too convenient, and as it turned out, not against the odds at all according to bookies at kick off. You take the Barca team selection and couple it with their below par performance and Inters pathetic attempt complete with a gift goal and its difficult to take it at face value. February is when the next stage begins, and the very morning after the match the February opening is being pushed. ‘The only place to watch CL football in London’. For now, its still a promise. ENIC just bought themselves 2 months of grace from fans who will now take this latest carrot and chomp on it till then……’it could be ready for the knockouts’ etc etc
I’m tired. Its a masquerade.
Would take Eriksen off Corner Duty though, first 3 didn’t beat the first man and 4th straight to Keeper, but his passing and vision was superb against quality opposition.
Lozano is getting a very thoughtful Christmas card from me this year
If Sonny had just managed some composure a 1-4 scoreline would not have flattered us. I think he was overawed by the big occasion.
Just a mention for Llorente too, think his experience calmed the front line in a big match.
Sissoko or Eriksen as MOTM…..I can’t decide, both were superb in the second half.
Anyone wishing to send a card to PSV’s H. Lozano and N. Viergever can do so at the following address.
PSV Eindhoven.

Eindhoven. Netherlands.
Gloating Goons ejaculated too early last night after we went 1 down.
We are the mighty THFC, enjoy your Thursday evenings knobheads…
My MOTM by a mile
Heheheh very good
THFC getting the blame for raping the manor. I thought it was ENIC and Haringey council to blame! Someone tell them please. THFC aint the investment company ENIC is.
I must say listening to Steve Nash &…. the other guy was so refreshing. For once to have the commentators on our side was awesome.
Oh give it a rest. Cant you just enjoy what the team and manager have done. Why bring the w a n k e r s into it??!!!
Could be right, I thought that about him early on. Try him there because he looks right for the role.
Nutman butter?
No, don’t be ambitious
Merci
Lamela for Winks, may as well have a proper crack.
Any blood is good
The rule of thumb
Yes.
Sweet
Take off Lloris
Exactly, Levy.
