Oh, the financial costs to the graphic design dept of a company that makes billions, to change the face of one person in an image of four for another ...
One look at the match history between Spurs and Bournemouth suggests an away win and a win tonight will put us in good fettle for the match. This is a different competition and form can be different in different competitions. It's a hard one to call because we've either progressed convincingly in the CL or just scraped by by the skin of our teeth i,e. the group stages and City as opposed to Dortmund where we were convincing. I have to agree that due to fatigue we play a slowish passing game. Omens. Now, I believe in omens and the number which has followed me throughout my life scores of times is the number eight. I was even at the Coventry FA Cup Final when we lost for the first time in a final of the cup and it was our eighth attempt but this time it will be different. The return leg is on the 8th of May so we'll do it this time. Christian to score against his old club.
Yeah, changing two light blue lines to navy blue instead. I mean not as if the line below the Messi image is even remotely comparable to navy blue.

I think we are in a situation where we genuinely need to deal with one match at a time.Win tonight and the pressure on Saturday is partially relaxed. Lose, and the importance of the Bournemouth game increases massively. Come Saturday, and if we win we can relax; lose, and we’ll be in a must-win mode for the away leg next week (assuming we haven’t actually been slaughtered tonight). Then next Wednesday, win and.......... oh you see where this is heading by now. But the nitty gritty of all this is that the better we do in each game in turn, the better we can cope with the next one. So forget Bournemouth. Concentrate entirely on Ajax. That applies to team selection, tactics, substitutions. Are you reading this, Mauricio?
I can't remember too many CL semis when any team has been slaughtered audrey, usually a semi is between two very well matched teams and I see the same tonight.
A bit nervy about tonight. As much as everyone thinks Ajax are world beaters...I think we would smash them with our first XI. I've seen people get on a crest of a wave about teams before Let's hope the squad players are fired up too. I'll take a nil nil.
Must have been a different competition where Bayern beat Barca 4-0 and 3-0 in both legs of the semi-final in 2013 Berk
Do not concede tonight is the primary milestone (which means the defence has to be 100% focused tonight regardless of how well the attack is playing) .
Could mean we've just agreed a deal for Sterling and this is the way we're announcing it. I'm gonna have that other spliff now.
My definition of the Liverpool UEFA method (which served English clubs so well in the 70s/80s) was : 1. Win at home 2. Do not lose away I would now change that to : 1. Do not concede at home 2. Do not lose away 3. Win at home If you do #1 at the minimum, that puts fear of conceding into the opponent for their home leg (and falling to the away goals rule) .
Hopefully they will use Messi and Stirling to advertise the final. Nothing like going under the radar.
Presumably created by one of those City fans that left after the goal, but before the VAR decision. Either that or it's the worst picture of Rose that I've ever seen.
I've read one opinion that this young Ajax team isn't used to teams going at them and that's what we should do. I'm worried about burn out so I think we should play it slowly at first and conserve energy. Harry Redknapp considers Nando as our secret weapon and thinks his height will trouble their defence, well, if we've ever needed him on form we need him now. Everybody's nervy about tonight Spurlock.
