To still be in with a chance at this stage of the season given at mid season we were a lot lower down is encouraging.

Spurs are more than capable of throwing the games they have.

Focus on our own games. We may finish 6th which would be good still.


Top 6 would be much better than I anticipated but I fancy Chelsea to get that at this point. Man United look dreadful.
 
And he’s just had a goal ruled out for offside. Actually onside.

The Geordie failure has scored 2 goals to get Madrid to the champions league final.

Was just about to write this! What a legend. In fairness he always tried and wasn't really given much support from the team - certainly not an obvious choice for the hero of a Champions Leauge semi-final for Real Madrid though.

It’s a stuff dreams are made of.

He wasn’t a bad player for us. Just was in an absolute **** side.
 
Does it tell you it’s about the manager rather than the players?

No. Tells you about the owner.

Manager has built a side to get out of the championship, and was only allowed to upgrade it with Joselu.

Tbf Joselu was pretty ****e for Stoke too, it's not a matter of saying we misused him cos he played enough, he either wasn't suited to the Prem that well, or has had a huge improvement late in his career.

It's all 3 surely to an extent.

He has actually been pretty ****e for every side he has played for outside Spain. His finishing was atrocious with us. His only strength was holding the ball up. Interesting that Real Madrid use him as a late substitute only who seems to have the habit of being in the right place at the right time. With us he would have fallen over at both the chances he got last night. Definitely wouldn't have been keeping him 7years so that he could suddenly find some scoring form in the twilight of his career.

This was one of his classic goals for us:

Lol, I remember that.

Yes, anyone who thinks we missed out on a diamond with Joselu is very deluded. He's having an amazing career end, and fair play, but he definitely wasn't worth hanging on to for us.

He was an ok player in a very poor side.

At Madrid he is playing with world class players so all he needs to do is be in the right place.

Which he did last night.

Hes possibly going to win the champions league. Just let that sink in all.
Good for him if he does.

Just shows you don't need to be an elite player to win the Champions League, as with any competition. It's the team/squad that counts.
