Boca are going to be banned for 5 years by CONMEBOL if they don't play lmao.

Fifa have said if they don't play they're disqualified. What a joke.

 

Today’s game was so great. It’s been such a weird season for Spurs. Despite holding a strong position in the table there has been somewhat of a cloud over the club. A performance like today is exactly what the players and fans both needed.

I was very worried about Chelsea’s new midfield at the beginning of the season. And they’ve been great this season. I can’t believe Sissoko was able dominate them. I really thought there was no hope for him with this team but Poch has done a beautiful job in finding the perfect role for him. He has pretty much replaced Dembele as the box to box center mid and I love it so far.

This was the beginning of a huge 8-day stretch though. Two derbies and a massive champions league game. I can’t wait for Wednesday.

 

Also, Son’s goal was straight fire.

 

This River vs Boca game was gonna be one of the biggest club football games in history, very upsetting for this to have happened. Rumours that the coach driver literally fainted at the wheel and the Boca vice president had to drive

 

Debate: fluke? (Y/N)

 

Not a fluke, but I think it went better than even Messi expected.

 

Messi’s flukes are when it doesn’t work tbh

 

First video I thought fluke but when you see the slow mo it’s clearly intentional. Impressive.

 

Everton (amongst many) linked with Ndombeke of Lyon. Now that would be a coup for us, even more so if we can keep Gana from joining PSG. Life after Steve Walsh is slowly returning to order.

 

Newcastle pinch another win. This is confusing. We play West Ham at the weekend, at home. I'll be sad if we don't win that. I don't know how this happened.

 

Yeah same, 2nd vid just had me like

 

This is looks dangerous

 

Game should be stopped and Ajax given the win. Disgraceful carry on

 

Robben

 

We're not very good at this football thing

 

Lyon have been getting closer and closer all half. Cornet and Depay v wasteful.

 

Lyon take the lead they deserve through Cornet.

 

Another game de gea’s reps can bring to the negotiation table

 

Of course it's Fellaini...

 

Ajax have some truly disgraceful fans but holy shit was that a petrol bomb or something thrown at us INSIDE THE STADIUM?!?!?

Am over the moon that they have qualified for the knockouts for the first time in 13 years (Dusan Tadic is king, btw), but there always has to be some bullshit to ruin the achievement.

 

Also, I really don't understand the negative reaction to Mourinho shaking his head at Rashford missing that chance tonight? Lineker and BT pundits going in on him saying he should show him support - every manager reacts that way to their teams missing chances?! And how is Mourinho choosing Rashford to start at ST in a must-win CL game not a show of faith/support?

 

I told you guys, it’s always Fellaini

 

Vertonghen back today. Sissoko/Winks duo. Lamela starting.

Gonna be a good game.

 

Ref not giving yellows to Inter on clear yellow fouls. But Spurs have two.
