    Thry charge enough, about 35 USD per month. Most is viewed in bars because the average african can afford it.

    Supersport is much better than Sky. I'm watching a full rerun of the match now. Included in the price is all international cricket, rugby and F1

    Me and a few mate's have a group chat on Whatsapp, had it open for like four years and we've never deleted it, usually just waffle a load of **** and sort out away days (as you can tell lol). My mate Scott doesn't really like Aurier and after last night's display I think it's fair to say it pushed him over the edge <laugh>

    **Few spelling and grammar mistakes - "the." should be "then", "loved" is "lobbed", "have" should be "gave"**

    12 minutes gone.2-0 down.Like you all,my thoughts were "Oh my gord!" Who would have dreamed it would be mostly Spurs playing brilliantly for the other 78 minutes.
    My compliments to the "team"......especially Dembele.....you did it again,son!

    Just got back from Italy and still buzzing. An awesome trip, awesome night, awesome performance, awesome result, awesome travelling support and what a great team spirit we now have. Even as recently as 15 months ago, we would have crumbled under such a poor start. That we didn't last night is testimony to how far this group has matured.

    I know this tie isn't over yet, but I'll start worrying about that in a few weeks time. For now I'm loving what I'm seeing happening at this great club of ours.

    Dare I say it was reminiscent of Utd coming back from 2-0 down after 11 minutes there to win 3-2 in 1999.
    Zidane in that team. Conte too. And Davids.
    They had lost the CL finals of the previous two years.

    as I am off this week for half term and my daughters were not at home and Mrs RCL is working away I rewatched the match.
    our fans deserve massive credit...from 2 nil down you could hear them singing the hearts out at at 2-1 onwards they were all you could hear. It must have boosted the players throughout.

    Wednesday 7th March 7.45pm
    Champions League Round of 16
    Wembley Stadium​

    Another win at Wembley and another two goals for Heung-Min Son. He really seems to like the place.
    Can he repeat the feat against our Italian visitors and keep his impressive run going? It would be very, very nice, wouldn't it?
    They've been quietly racking up 1-0 wins since we played them, but their game on the weekend was postponed.
    The untimely death of Davide Astori resulted in all Serie A games being abandoned and there will be a minutes silence before this match.
    I hope and expect that it will be perfectly observed.

    No official word on injuries yet, but Alderweireld will probably continue to miss out and Aurier is suspended.
    There are a lot of rumours about our visitors missing players, but little concrete information right now.
    I'm sure that will change as we get closer to the game.

    Referee: Szymon Marciniak (POL). He took charge of our group game at the Bernabeu.

    TV: BT Sport 2.

    Should we make any changes from our lineup against Huddersfield, barring the enforced one at right-back?
    How should we approach the match in terms of tactics and our bench?
    Would you do anything radically different to what we normally do or stick with the tried and tested?

    Hugo
    Tripps, Dave, Jan, Davies
    Dier, Dembele
    Lucas, Eriksen, Son
    Kane

    Vorm, KWP, Rose, Big Vic, Alli, Lamela, Nando

    Although I doubt they'll burst out the traps from the off, Juve know that at some point in the game they'll need to "come at us". For that reason, I'd have Son and Moura on the flanks ready to exploit the space in behind their lines. The pace in those two alone will have Juve second guessing when to go forward.

    The scenarios for 90 mins :

    1. Either side win

    The winner goes into the QFs.

    2. 0-0 or 1-1

    Spurs go into the QFs.

    3. 2-2

    Extra time at least.


    Spurs are in the stronger position, but not by much.

    I also think we'll need pace up top but get the feeling Poch will play lamela. As impressive as Moura has been thus far, it is an almighty leap from tearing Rochdale to shreds to doing the same to Juve. I'd have him on the bench together with Alli as gamechangers and go with:

    Hugo
    Trippier Dave Jan Davies
    Wanyama Dembele
    Lamela Eriksen Son
    Kane

    Subs: Vorm, Rose, Dier, Alli, Moura, Winks, Llorente.

    Moura has a lot of CL experience from his time with PSG.

    Id keep Moura on the bench just so that he can be thrown on in the 2nd half with around 30/20 to go...when I can see Juve being forced to push up as the game wears on...they won't like fresh fast legs coming at them....we just got to make sure we have a tidy first half

    Start Lamela...he is very busy and manages to find himself in good attacking positions too but his work rate could be essential in frustrating Juve In the first half

    I agree. I dunno who out of the 5 forwards I’d start, but Juventus looked bloody knackered quite early on in the last match. Having 2 quick energetic players to bring on could cause them huge problems.

    A gooner I know just said to me don't you spurs fans get too smug because you won't be in the champions league next season even if you finish 4th so I said how do you work that out. He replied when arsenal win the europa league and the chavs win the champions league you lot won't qualify...I offered to give him some of my morphine the guy clearly is not well <laugh>

    That 1000/1 chance is why we have to finish 3rd. It would be Spursy if the scenario happened twice ever in any league in history and both times we were the victim

    To be honest I can't see either of them making the final let alone winning it.
    RCL will be giving me grief now I've said that <laugh>

    Could you see Chelsea beating Barca and Bayern. The latter at home only. Neither me nor Harry could.

    Yes, a repeat of 2012 is possible.
    But Chelsky are going to have to go from
    two games further out to repeat that.

    And it only affects us if Arsenal win the Europa. Pretty unlikely on current form. Especially as they don't have striker able to play.
