How long did it take for them to lose in their statdium?

not up to 5 home games

Pajimoh remember my earlier post that you felt I was being harsh... This is one reason.

I remember but don't lower yourself to his standard. He doesn't realise he's a slave to Danfo's "curse" rhetoric. He sees Danfo as his "Oga". Shame dat.

Ajax Coach tells Poch to stop whining

[Its a Goal]

Finally the day that we have all dreamt of but never thought we'll see anytime soon has arrived upon us. Playing a champions league semi-final match on our own ground. 180 minutes away from glory. It has been a very emotional period for players and staff. For the past week the thought of the players has been on this day, the day when they face Ajax for a place in the final of the CL. They couldn't fully concentrate on the match over the weekend and even played with an abundance of caution as none of them wanted to get injured.

Against Ajax we are facing the biblical David of this tournament. On their path to this stage they slayed the likes of Real Madrid and Juventus. They have shown no fear and are very resilient with their play. They will come out gun blazing as they will want to prove that their journey to this stage is no fluke. A lot of the players are currently playing for a new job offer and there is no better opportunity to showcase your talent than to get a famous victory at the New Lane.

Killing Ajax dream of mauling another victim would have been made easier had we had the compliment of a full team but alas it is not to be. It won't be Spurs if everything goes according to plan. Unfortunately we will have to go about this challenge the hard way. Out of the tie are Son (suspended), Kane (ankle), Winks (groin), Lamela and Aurier (who knows). We have to go into this match with a patched up team. Returning to action are Sissoko and Jan which should ease the pressure on the midfield. The absence of these 2 makes us vulnerable and weak in the midfield as we don't have an enforcer in Sissoko to launch the ball forward nor someone to break up the opposition's play. Jan's presence in the team means the likes of Eriksen and Dele don't have to do a lot of defending.

The lineup I expect to see tomorrow should be overtly offensive as Poch is not going to sit back and get away with a 1 goal win. I anticipate both sides scoring but the idea is to reduce the amount of goals we concede. My lineup for tomorrow will be:

• • • Moura

• • Dele * Eriksen

• Rose * Wanyama * Sissoko

Davies * Jan * Toby * Foyth

• • • Lloris

The choice is between going with a back 3 or flat 4. I believe Poch will go with the 4 as the option upfront is somewhat limited, which a 3 at the back will afford. In the midfield Wanyama is more dynamic offensively than Dier although both are still working their way back to full match fitness which often leads them to make some positional errors. I have gone with Wanyama due to what he brings to the team when we are chasing a goal. Danny will continue his transformation to a midfielder as he is a threat to the opposition going forward.

However way the night pans out we will all be singing ourselves hoarse as we bask in the glory of this magical night. Let's just hope the night ends on a satisfactory note. COYS!!!

I see Ajax beating craps today

[Cristao II]

So many key injuries. Winks is out for the season. Kane and Son not available. I don't know we will do it. Put the best team we have out there and pray for the best result. We really needed a break and strengthening of the team.

No matter what, a fans heart will always hope even if you put out 5 one legged players. But you're right, the missing personnel makes it a daunting task. Ajax are young, vibrant, highly skilled and resilient. Semi final is no shame but HOPE REMAINS... TGBATG, COYS

Na jealousy go kill you. We beat Inter, we beat Dortmund We beat PSV or who ever it is. We beat Man City over two legs. Luckily or not, we made the semis. Deal with it shirtlifter.

i find it pathetic seeing spurs in the champs league semis... they look so out of place... this is like thaiti at the confed

[Its a Goal]

As I suspected Poch is going for broke. He is gambling on the team scoring early and a lot so that he can shore up the defense in the second half.
