Away goals should not count after extra time, if you think about it, it is unfair, because extra time is an extra 30 minutes, the opposition has an extra 30 minutes which the home team never had in the first leg, so how in the hell is that not unfair? I don't say this because it's Spurs only, it's something I've always thought about.
The home side get an extra half hour and possibly penalties at home. If away goals didn't count, then they'd have a clear advantage.
they get half an hour to score, but so does the other team, at the end of the day, the away team still has an extra 30 minutes to get an away goal, an advantage the home team never had in the first leg. the first leg takes place in 90 minutes, that's when the first goals were scored, once you move out of that zone it should become like a new match.
Regardless, it was a pleasing outcome. The effect will only be seen in 3 days time. They'll still beat Fulham (I think that's who they play next).
And then the team that's at home in the second leg would have the advantage of an extra half an hour plus the possibility of penalties at their own ground. How is that fair? The current system's balanced. It gives an advantage to each side.
Yes, the home team gets 30 extra minutes to score or go penalties, but so does the away team. When I say away goals shouldn't count, I mean as advantage, so even though you were losing 4-1, it remains 4-4 on aggregate, BUT, in extra time, the advantage of the away goal does not count anymore. So it would've gone to penalties. Penalties on their own ground is a so-so advantage, sometimes heaps more pressure on them, penalties is really 50-50, it's the luck of the draw how that goes.
And it's more of an advantage to the home team because, rather unsurprisingly, they're at home. You do accept that that's beneficial, don't you?

It is an advantage, but getting an extra 30 minutes for an away goal is still an unfair advantage, because the away team has 30 extra minutes to get an away goal that counts as 2, something the home team never had in the first leg, they only had 90 minutes, maybe if they had that extra 30 minutes they too could've got 1 away goal.
Spurs ... the only team that can lose 4-1 and still win... laugh away gooners ... i can say nothing to defend that...
Arsenal....the only team that can score a goal without a single shot on goal....though no good end result.
