3-1....cracking match

Bang! Whoosh!!!

I had money on 2-1 bilbao! Fucking rafael

Great match. Bilbao giving away a silly penalty at the end makes the next leg super tense..

Bilbao will give utd chances but I'm not sure that they won't have scored two or three of their own before then.

Only blot on the night was the grudging respect given to Bilbao by the commentator and graham Taylor. It wasnt that utd were sloppy or having a bad day, they were outplayed, outpassed and out thought, by a side that came out and wasnt intimidated in the slightest..

Graeme Taylor's an idiot. He doesn't even understand the offside rule, and kept saying "oh, I wonder if any scouts will be noticing Llorente tonight!" He's in the fucking world cup winning squad you fool

in the champions league last season we beat AC milan and in the pre-season we beat bilbao

How did you get on in the champions league this season?

Citing pre-season friendly results too. lol

we did so well in the champions league this season..we were on fire. And yeah, pre-seasons are actually important

Pre-season is about as important as GCSE's

Bang! Whoosh!!!

tl;dr

Have some chevrons, Oliver... My treat...

i know, i was just trying to make tottenham seem better than they probably are haha

Saturday:

Everton 2 Spurs 1

Never that. I recon defoe and saha will score along with van der vaart

Pisti you're probably right.

Hoping Saha plays a blinder though, and lennon's achy hamstring isn't going to prevent him from playing.

never mind saha, harry's gotta start defoe

Pre-season is about as important as GCSE's

And a chance for you lot to get a few injuries under your belt before the season begins

just leaving this here...

What is it about foreign stadia that when they score you get a much more (and more pleasurable imo) booming crowd sound?

Brits shout "Yeah", we go berserk... and also shout "GOLO" ;)

I blame it on women and children starting to attend games. They never join in with throwing coins and the racism. On the continent it's still all topless hirsute hooligans with fireworks

Franny Lee was the master of dives.

Talking of pre Sky, I am reading a book about the Arsenal v Chelsea 1-1 draw in 1984 at present. 17,000 Chelsea there at very least. The biggest away crowd ever at The Library. I remember when Dixon equalised. We were about to jump up when we remembered we were in the Arse end.Suddenly the whole crowd around us started cheering and it turned out that the Arse end was full of Chelsea. Brilliant day. Were you born then Bill?

I was there that day. I think you're getting your south and north confused, cos I remember that they gave you lot the whole of the Clock End, which I remember being completely blue. First game of the season, and the previous year, Chelsea has been in something called the Second Division. I am not sure what this Second Division is, but I am told that Arsenal were in it once, but no one alive remembers that far back.

Oh my god, Tommy Caton.
