And the toughies keep on coming [&:]

Today we travel to Anfield - the famous home of

Liverpool FC

vs

Tottenham Hotspur

Liverpool have to win to keep alive their Champions League hopes, while we need to win to keep the pressure on Chelsea and Arsenal by increasing the gap to those teams in 4th and 5th place, neither of whom have a Premiership game this weekend.

When I was a young man we hadn't won at Anfield since the Titianic sunk in 1912 [X(] - we finally ended that unwanted record in 1985 and certainly in the premiership era our record at Anfield has been a little better if not spectacular (couldn't be much worse! [8|]).

Ho hum...roll on 4pm - nervous tension building already [:(].

Looking forward to Liverpool vs Spurs..... Liverpool shirt on, check. European Cup coffee mug ready, check. Place in front of tv booked, check.

I think we will loose today...after the mid week match we will be slack I'm sure..2-0 or 2-1 to Liverpool.

Woden..... I am shocked, not a Liverpool fan?

What a rubbish way to lose a football match [:(] Two pathetic defensive errors....[:@]

Server went down!

Well we ended up 3-0 winners. Which was nice... We are talking Tottenham here so we cannot say the tie is over, but we should now progress to the Quarter-Finals [:)] If we can score one in Milan - they will need five.

COYS!!!

You said it! [:)]

3-1 to Inter. Still way to much time left for comfort.

COYS!!!

4-1 to Inter. [:(]

This is scary.

Congratulations Tottenham to the advancement.

Indeed, that wasn't supposed to happen. But that is what happens when you defend that high up-field and do not put enough pressure on their midfield.

Got the tactics wrong tonight. We played some nice football early doors but when we failed to get an early goal - and with Defoe playing so badly - we should have packed the midfield instead.

Still, we are in the draw at least - lets hope Chelsea don't join us [;)]

So 3 English teams in the last 8....well done boys.

Mmm - the weekend of sport is not going too well - cricket, rain interupted with the Kiwis on the ropes, Rugby, England demolished by Wales and just 5th for Lewis in the F1.

Right. Can Spurs save my weekend of misery or, after the 7 conceded in the last two games, will they continue leaking goals against Fulham??

I doubt that they continue leaking goals. After the game versus Inter I suspect we will see a spirited team that will be aggressive and with a tight defense.

At least you can take comfort in that your team advanced. My team is out of the Swedish cup after conceding 6 goals in two games. Worst of it is that four of the goals were after corners!!![:@]

Well that was a sporting pile of manure wasn't it boys and girls? [:(]

I hate sport its a load of sloblocks [&:]

I just haven't been able to get interested in the Prem this season. It doesn't help that I don't support anyone in the Prem (or Championship, or L1. Or L2 even) but the whole thing has just passed me by really.

Sometimes I think it must be easier to support the likes of Lincoln City than a team like Spurs. Spurs are a club that gives you just enough hope that "next year it will be different" so that when its not and they are rubbish again (or of course threaten to do well before collapsing in a rubbish heap at the end of the season) the pain is all the more keenly felt.

I should be like most Londoners and support Manchester United [;)] - or Chelsea "I've always supported them" - yeah - of course you did....not just since Abramovich then? [8|]

You're probably better off with Spurs to be honest. At least you've got the possibility of success before throwing it all away. With Lincoln you get to set the bar low and see the team fail to reach even that. Avoiding relegation from the BSP just a couple of seasons after arriving from L2 should not be seen as success, but yet here we are.[8|]


It all went to pieces after Keith Alexander left. [:(]
