Basel Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

[alfiespurs]

We never win on penalties like England .... you heard it first.

I knew that was coming. Look time to move on, we had fluked it so far already...bring on shitty....

 

[WiganSpur]

How is our season over? Ridiculous statement.

 

[penfold_99]

Can we bribe passport control to not let ade on the plane home?
Dempsey stepped up tonight. Carroll was brilliant, huddlestone fitting in but well we still missed a sharp attacking tooth!

Adebayor is officially the worst striker in the World.
Before hitting his penalty he tried his best to make their keeper laugh,he knew that was the only way he would beat him.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

And now the anti-Adebayor vitriol will increase a hundred fold.

Quite simply he is a wrong un - perhaps now people will realise this especially with his fucking smile when he missed

 

[postigol]

so who do we want chelscum to draw in the SFs?

 

[Gib14]

Kneejerk but this is the worst sort of defeat... This will crumble our season.
Mark my words.

I agree it is the worst possible defeat. Extra time with 10 men means they are exhausted. Missed penalties means spirit at a low. But those people giving out about Friedal, get a fucking grip. Basel penalties were exceptional. Dembele pass fucked us but it cancelled out a lucky goal we got.

 

[balalasaurus]

well it was good while it lasted. shame to go out on penalties but at least our boys stepped up and got us that far. no love lost for any of the players. let's get on with it

 

[faulks]

To the people saying our season is over, I remember people saying the exact same thing after we lost in a semi final at Wembley to Portsmouth.

Go outside and take a deep breath, still something to play for this season.

He grimaced

He didn't give a single f*ck and hasn't done since he rocked up late and fat at the end of August.

Basel.

 

[Spur4life]

Why have we got so many fools on here tonite. I am proud of my team tonite. With bale and co out we gave it our best shot. We done lads you did us proud for 120 min. Penalty shoot out is luck and we all know spurs don't have any. Anyway weeks rest get bale and Lennon back and off we go again. To dare is to do !!! COYS

 

[pablo73]

I would have been amazed if Adebayor had scored, think that says it all. No need to be disheartened though, I think we gave a decent account of ourselves under the circumstances and showed a lot of heart. Disappointing not to go further but it may just give us the edge over the chavs for that top 4 spot

 

[DEFchenkOE]

How do you work that out?

Agree, unless Levy has told AVB to play Friedel in the Europa League or else your fired.

 

[Don_Felipe]

From 0-2 down in the first leg think we've done well, players have pulled together - there are some positives... it was just Jan's sending off that did for us in the end....

 

[SandroRedknapp]

The one time we have a (partial) German Nd we don't utilise him in a shoot out!

 

[Yid-ol]

And that's a positive ????

Its better than ade so yes lol

 

[Lufti]

No one watching that can tell me they didn't want to see us go forward in the Europa League. Absolutely gutted. Good spirit today, my worry is that this could have a negative effect on the rest of the season - hope not. In the end that miss from Scotty P last game was as crucial as I was afraid it would had been.

 

[nferno]

After seeing that Adebayor miss again I just burst into laughter.

didn't matter what the keeper did really, it was always going over.
