    One word of caution is that they play on an astroturf pitch.. possibly an issue?

    Still, its just fantastic to see Tottenham Hotspur pulled out of the hat in a Champions League Qualifier Draw

    All in all we should be delighted that we drew the lowest seed (i think)! Lets not get carried away though, there is still a lot of hard work to do and Young Boys will be no push-overs!

    But with the team effort shown against Benfica mid-week I am predicting a 1-0 win for the yids in the Wankdorf and 2-1 yids @ WHL. Great draw!

    It's the best draw we could have got :D

    But as said, we better not underestimate them.

    We should beat the young boys. We will be a laughing stock if we don't as we all seem SO cocky now with the draw, myself included

    I'm a pessimist. I predict that we beat Young Boys, come third in the group and end up winning the Europa League in the Aviva....

    I really wish Defoe hadn't come out and said we are going to do better than Arsenal in Champion's League. Let's qualify first for heaven's sake. He's a bit of an idiot really.

    *nods in agreement*


    Similar to when Keane spoke out last year before the arsenal game and then we got our asses handed to us.

    Great draw but pretty much agree that not to underestimate anyone.

    I had a deep deep feeling that we would get a nightmare draw. Can't wait to hear the likes of "no no bill Defoe is lethargic and shouldn't be on the pitch" followed by a swift brace in the second half :)

    I also agree Defoe shouldn't dream of saying things like that, it's got nothing to gain and everything to loose.

    I'd be surpised if they even mention us as both of them are colour blind like most of the Irish Media and can only see or acknowledge teams in Red colours.

    in all honesty if we dont beat young boys we do not deserve to be in the group stages.

    they got this far so they deserve a bit of respect but a professional performance should see us go through.

    come on you spurs

    just wanted to bump this thread! readin some on the comments here( my own included) and the result of tonight.

    that old saying of chickens n eggs comes to mind.

    mind u i was very surprised by the start of the match with both young boys and spurs. as good as they started we were terrible to start. second goal could have saved our blushes

    Hard to get anything positive of of getting a hiding but at least its only half time.

    OK I will find something positive. Wake Up Spurs! we are still in it. and after 1/2 hour we hardly deserve it. Its going to be some night in WHL next Wednesday. I wish i was there. the atmosphere is going to be something else, 90min from glory COYS!!!
