*** Tottenham Hotspur vs Barnsley OMT ***

21:06
GREAT SAVE!

Tottenham 0-0 Barnsley

In the early stages of the second half in this game and Barnsley again have a golden chance to take the lead.

Ike Ugbo is unmarked inside the area as he meets a cross but his volley from eight yards is straight at Michel Vorm.
 
Sounds like the Wembley hoodoo is continuing. We really need to put this to bed asap. Hopefully we can find our shooting boots - and soon.

We need to stop talking of a Wembley hoodoo. If there is anything it is all in our heads and only exists because people talk about it.
 
Isn't that a tall order?

Why? We need to be in the chase for a top four finish at Christmas. If we are within touching distance, we are in a good position to push on in the second half of the season.

Steff and I have already identified that the ball doesn't seem to run as fast at Wembley, so there may well be something in it to our detriment. Plus, of course, the lift it will always give to our opponents.

Yeah but to win the title is tough. A big run of wins has to come at some stage (if we are to compete), for us it's more likely to be in the 2nd half of the season. Hopefully we can win a couple more in the first 15 games than we did last season and hit our stride a little bit quicker.
 
don't be silly there's no such thing as a hoodoo..

We always win when I don't go, I've only missed Dortmund and CSKA Moscow
 
From the commentary, it seems that Barnsley are having more of the ball than us.

We are creating diddly squat from what I am hearing.

Because we had such as good second half of the season (or past November-ish from memory) that banking on doing the same again is ambitious
 
is there a replay, or straight extra time and pens?

(I didn't believe this was something we'd have to consider tonight!)
