This type of tie is the whole reason we want to be in this competition in the first place. Bring them on, at our best we can beat anyone over two legs.

According to F365 there're only two teams in the CL. I like it (y)

One note of caution, Juventus will play every trick in.the book, Dele will be targeted...gamesmanship will be rife as well.

If we score out there we'll go through I think.
I agree. However, Pochettino isn't unfamiliar with such practices from his playing days, and I think I've noticed that he does set his team up to repay "the favour" when it's really necessary. We should field guys who are up for a physical fight, though. And "fall" in our half every time they've got the ball. :p

Last season we were all pissed off to be playing europa league-style teams in the group stages. This year we've had Real, Dortmund and Juve. We should be relishing these games. I'd have been annoyed to have drawn Basel, and in typical spursy style we'd have been eliminated to them

I bet the tickets to this game will be cheaper than those for the game we played against them in pre season :ROFLMAO:

If Buffons broken heart turns out to be career ending they might have Chesney in goal.

Toby and Wanyama will be back for it, so as long as Kane and Eriksen stay injury free during March then we can win.

Key for our lads is we have played Juventus twice in last 2 years. We lost to Juve last season & in August we did beat them 2-0. Even though it was just a preseason friendly, fact that likes of Winks, Kane, played them in the recent past should give them lot of confidence

Why would they rig the draw, what possible reason would they rig it? If they wanted a glamour tie they could have easily drawn Utd or Liverpool vs Juve, who the fuck are we in the grand scheme of things? lol

Juventus v Tottenham
Basel v Man City
Porto v Liverpool
Sevilla v Man Utd
Real Madrid v Paris St-Germain
Shakhtar v Roma
Chelsea v Barcelona
Bayern v Besiktas

That's my predictions for this round, expect us to draw a big team in the quarters if we get through.
