Proud

[Robbiepope]

I thought we played well tonight and was very unlucky to get knocked out. Penalties are a lottery and i hope people aren't to hard on Jenas especially.

We will certainly go on to bigger and better things in Europe if we continue to play the same way.

We lost the tie at White Heart Lane and ultimately paid the price tonight, but I am proud at the way we played and the way we battled throughout the game.

I think every spurs fan can hold their head up high on Thursday.

I agree. After the game I was gutted, but now I've calmed down a bit...I am proud of our players, and I'm not....angry, or even sad. Just very dissapointed that we were so close yet managed not to. Next season promises much.

 

[chinaman]

We'll be a force to be reckoned with next season, no doubt about that.

I was going to start a thead: Gutted but proud. But this will do instead.

Well done the lads!

 

[wojch]

Well, I know that penalities are a lottery. Sad and painfull.

But

as someone said before - I'm proud of Tottenham Boys... they fought 'till the end.

AND BIG CHEER FOR JUANDE RAMOS - great stuff!

Think I'm just gutted. Don't feel particularly proud at the moment, we made enough chances to win it in normal time. PSV were poor tonight compared to at the Lane, it was ours to win, we had so much possession. Again we go out against the first half-decent side we play in the competition. I said at the time we'd rue Malbranque's miss in the first half and so it came to pass. And where exactly was Steed when the penalties were being taken?

 

[Mullers]

I don't see anything to be proud of. What is there to be proud of?

well done for what??

well done for what??

Beating a side 1-0 who have pretty recently been in a champs league semi, and are top of the dutch league, at their own ground? Muppet.

Good post. Fantastically proud. Poor 1st leg but away to a team who regularly compete in the CL and we perform and get a result like we did, all credit to the players and coaching staff. Penalties are always a lottery, overall either side could have deserved the win we were just unlucky. Credit to PSV, they played some nice stuff and seemed a decent team with good honest footballers, i hope they go on to win it. No complaints about them whatsoever. Tonight our defence was magnificent, Berby's goal was verging on orgasmic and the performance the lads put it was great, def proud of the lads and think under Ramos we are really heading in the right direction, he is very very tactically astute and gets us playing some nice stuff. With a few additions in summer, and a full pre-season under Ramos next season could be very intresting.

But yea, proud of the lads, did decently well mabye deserved more and lost to a top class team. We are still young and improving and will learn and move on from this. The rest of the season isn't pointless, we need to climb the table for money purposes, we can relax and hopefully put in some entertaining performances and it is all key looking towards next season, seeing if we continue to adapt to Ramos's style of play, weather the players can each prove how good they are and can be etc etc o yea and we can stop l'arse or Chavski winning the league x

The goal we scored was just down to the brilliance of Berba, we didn't really look like we were going to get a goal.
The team performance was poor and we were lucky not to lose the tie ages ago.

we did look like scoring, alot of our possesion was in their half, we were gradually putting them under more and more pressure, hudd had a few good shots, both steed and bent could and mabye should have scored, berby had a few other attempts, jenas was clean through we created a number of good oppertunities whilst looking quite solid at the back away to a regular CL side. The goal was individual brilliance but it was a goal our performance much deserved.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Outplaying a regular CL side, a side who are top of the dutch league by 9 points, in heir own backyard in a game that matters. This after outplaying Chelsea in a cup final.I say again fellas:

Hold your chins up. We are a good side.

 

[SpurSince57]

Over the two legs we were the better side. They sat back and defended en masse and tried to hit us on the break. In short, they ran scared because they knew that if they'd played an open game we'd have fucked them. I expected better of them at home, but obviously they remembered how Liverpool stuffed them last year and took no chances.

Anyway, let's move on.

we had a lot of possession but just didn't do much with it. We didn't put them under pressure like I know we can. I look at the performance against Chelsea and Arsenal in the carling cup and our performances over two legs here and there is no comparison. So I can't give credit for the performance especially not the first half performance. know we could play much better than tonight. I thought PSV over two legs looked that bit more professional and were very good defensively.

 

[SpurSince57]

You can't find a comparison?

Well, that's not surprising. The Scum didn't sit back and defend over two legs. It's not their way. Even Chelsea didn't. They threw the works at us in the end.

Sorry, Mullers, you have to give credit where credit's due and PSV defended superbly. The Eredivisie's answer to David James pulled off a couple of great saves from Bent and Malbranque, but got away with some dodgy stuff that Robbo would get slaughtered for.

We did our best, it wasn't quite good enough, we'll learn and move on. Let's draw a line and look forward to filling our boots against City on Sunday.

After my initial dissapointment I thought to myself, what would spurscommunity be like if Jenas' penalty went in....

All of you would agree, it would have been spoken about for months, glory European nights are back for Spurs and how we can mix it with Europes elite, and how Ramos got everything right and how great we did to get to the next round, maybe an even greater achievment than beating Chelsea in CC Final.

But alas he didn't score, so all that goes out the window and some look for scapegoats and excuses. In the end it wasn't to be.

I feel we have made more progress this year than in the last two, we have one of the worlds finest coaches, and with Gus alongside him will take us to many more glory nights.

Many of our first teamers have tasted glory for the first time, and now tasted heartbreak, it is a fantastic learning curb for everyone, most of all for us the suporters.

Berbatov looks happy, we now have a run in which should enable us to use Bent and get him settled.

Jenas and Malbranque must be shattered, it has been a turbulent season and they have run their socks off.

Players of playing for their futures, and Juande has the oppertunity to look at the squad.

We will be back in Europe next year, 3 years on the trot after a lengthy abesnce. We will be ready, we will be glorious once again!

All of which may be true, but I still don't really see what there is to be proud of. It seems to be the same 'proud in defeat, unlucky loser' syndrome that England as a nation suffer from. I'm not angry with our players, but neither am I particularly happy. At the moment I feel nothing.

 

[inegve]

Actually I'd have to go on the pesimistic side for this one.Pretty much all our decent chances came from mistakes by their defenders.We made only one mistake in the first leg and paid for it.They made several today and no one scored.Wtf was that pass from Bent to Keano.If you can't pass just shoot ffs.I thought we should've started the game with 3 at the back and 3 up front and just score 2 goals.1-2 would've been enough.

 

[Chaplain]

The Bent chance was golden, but if that pass had paid off it would've been genius...just too far infield. Honestly I just wanted him to smack the ball, he would've scored.
