how many times did we see him bury those

how many times did we see him bury those

it wasnt the easiest for him, certainly not as easy as the one in the first half. he had to sort of toe-poke it.

simeone really is like a conductor. constantly barking information and running the show.

bloke must be knackered after a match.

 

[Mumorn]

Madrids passing has been real poor.

if a team ever mirrored a managers managing and playing style, it's Atletico Madrid!

Villa is very intelligent.

Yeah. I wish we had managed to close the deal last summer

 

[El Dante]

Are Atletico a more glamorous version of Greece?

Instead of attacking flair & class, the players win through with a combination of hard work and defensive nous.

I wonder how much criticism our fans would give our club if we played like they do.

 

[Mumorn]

Bale is really wanting that glory tonight, he HAS to pass there!

 

[Baleforce]

not his night

 

[Armchair Expert]

bale choking a bit in the big moments?

looks madrid's biggest threat none the less at the moment.

 

[El Dante]

Likewise. To have a player of his reputation, and undoubted class, really would have lifted our club this season.

to keep up the intensity for 90 minutes is crazy, they seem to do it, especially in the big games.

it's interesting that you mention about the criticism though. It sort of brings up that whole "i dont mind how we play if we end up winning the league" sort of argument. Well, atletico won the league and are winning in a CL final against Real Madrid, if you offered me that. I honestly couldnt care less how we played

Yup. I think his miss, from earlier tonight, is still weighing on his mind. He seemed too eager to be the one that produces the glory,

he's capable. we saw it on the 90th minute numerous times last year.

AM's defence seems able to repel Real's attacks with ease. I'd like to see some extra time here but it doesn't seem likely.

Yeah great but its not what Spurs are supposed to be about.
Its like turning up at restaurant and finding out "no we're a dry cleaners now" they best dry cleaners in the world". You have no interest in Dry Cleaning. But the former Restaurant is more profitable than ever.

 

[Hootnow]

I can't imagine Bale is going to be too popular amongst Real Madrid fans if they end up losing this :lol:

 

[Yossarian]

Athletico beating Real in this game would be akin to Spurs beating Arsenal?

 

[Modric THFC]

Just think Coentrao and Villa must really regret not joining Spurs this season. They could have had the last three months off.

 

[Hootnow]

You're right, Tottenham aren't about winning, we're about bottling and not winning trophies, as long as we can maintain a 'moral' high ground about how good our football apparently is.
