    Thanks, it will be a one day only event for now. Hope you are well and all is well in oz, I feel for you today. Tottenham need a fight back and luck of "Istanbul" proportions. I hope you get a couple of early goals so it makes for an enthralling match.
    Just hope you have trained Gomez to do Grobbelaar impressions. :)

    Take the graph below. Scrub out the title and replace with 'Chances of Tottingham winning tonight'. Scrub out the two choices and replace with 'Turn Up' and 'Send under 11 B-team instead'.

    Despite a massive natural disaster and the most serious nuclear disaster since the 80's I am a much happier person.
    The forum got to much of my focus, it has been good to be able to cut loose but sad that I don't get to debate with you guys any more.

    Hello fella, glad to hear all is good - I did predict you'd be back here although think you've done well to stay away for so long! As to your OP, it's good news which will hopefully turn into a trend.

    Well I like to be an optimist but your right, scoring 4 without conceding to get to ET is a big ask. I think you will let at least one in so really could be looking at needing to win 6-1 (or 5 clear goals), a massive ask.
    I just hope they can make a game of it, but TBH this is the second best team in spain, I can't see any team left in beating Barca this year.
    So a win today would be pain again in a few weeks time I think.
    I dont think financially there is much difference in terms of reward for getting to the semis compared to the quarters.
    It could be a blessing regards to squad fitness and remaining fixtures.
    ECL next year will be worth far more than the semis this year.

    It's too much of an Ars**al way of looking at it for me. Better to go out there and try to win the thing and come 5th in the league than be happy being the nearly men and making a load of cash for the board.

    There's a reason we sing, "Glory, glory Tottenham Hotspur" and that other lot sing, "One-nil to the Ars**al".

    Looking at the betting on Betfair, I think the only value is to lay Tottenham to go through at 55 I'm sorry to say.

    I won't even be able to watch the game as my TV reception is nil right now.

    I know it's a naff way to look at it, but as a liverpool supporter the only chance of ever winning the league is with champions league money ( unfortunately, and even with that we still could not do it :)). But with Man City, Chelsea etc even that is not really enough now.

    Not that I would recomend such an act. http://www.myp2p.eu

    Record exports - see bears I kept saying we make a lot more things than you realise, from music to ejector seats.
    As I keep warning bears, this is the new boom and your last chance to bag a bargain in the south, and soon the North to.

    Better get those house prices back up then, so the wealth effect kicks in, consumer spending increases, and employment of the young picks up.
