Tottenham Hotspur Champions League Thread

I would imagine it will be a nightmare,

I must admit i'd be tempted too.

SuprSi

Hmmm, tough draw, but at least we're away first. Hopefully the slightly more sedate pace of the Italians will suit us anyway, especially with Bale & Lennon. It'll be a cracking couple of games though.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

I suppose its too early for the match thread??:p
Harry better play a 4-5-1 out there, if we 4-0 down again we're not gonna pull it back, simple as. I'm so nervous for this match already!!:eek:

Milan just signed Cassano too, apparently. Cassano and Ibra up front is a scary thought, lets hope King and Dawson are both 100per cent

SuprSi

Would Cassano not be cup tied though? Either way, it would be nice to have both Daws and Ledders back for these games.

WHL

I am looking at a Milan forum and they are very happy with the draw. Quite confident that Lennon, VDV and Bale will be handled comfortably but Modric worries them. They think our defense will not handle Ibrahimovic while our attack will get nothing against Nesta and Silva. I hope that their players think the same. Didn't realise that KP Boateng is there now

£15 for a ticket in the San Siro - not bad:D

Lads, unless you have access to a season ticket you have NO hope of getting a ticket through Spurs, even the Thomas Cook packages will be oversubscribed IMHO.

Start looking to pick some up through Meelan, one way you can achieve this is to book a hotel then phone/e-mail and ask them to source tickets for you, which they will do.

Would they be much more expensive?

The dates for the Round of 16 matches are first leg in the San Siro on 15 February and the return in WHL on 9 March.

oppiuy

I think we can beat this lot but im disappoint we got them as i have travel to the san siro already this campaign. Never thought i say i wasnt up for spurs v ac milan in the san siro, I save the dosh for Madrid in the quarters!!!

Fot those travelling to Milan you can book tickets on the milan website a week before the Game. they will be with milan supporters but for the inter game it was packed with spurs. Do a bit of research and find out where the Ac nutters go as i think its the opposite end from the Inter ultras. We got ours in the side section for E30 just bring your passport to the game as they check it. Simples

Could do worse than jury's inn in islington, but might need to give colours a miss seeing as that's goon territory. Upper street is a mine of great restaurants.
