Is it okay for us to release a DVD?
Tuesday, November 2, 2010 at 10:30PM Just putting it out there.
Match report tomorrow, probably, if I find time to come down from the heavens and type up a couple of words although I could probably sum it up in one now:
Bale.
In the mean time, open invite to discuss the game. For the neutrals also, if they want to share their much respected opinions considering they always without fail find the time to visit us on other occasions.
Ooh, I feel a gloat coming on I do do do. Tottenham Hotspur 3 Champions of Europe 1. Chests pumped out people. We did everything right.
Come on you Spurs.
Never a dull f**king moment with this club.
I've got celebrations to be had.

Harry has completely transformed this football club. We can all feel extremely proud this evening....again.

Nice one to the Chelsea fan with his comments.

Are we close to having the best player in the world?
Gino-Ginelli, excellent post. Hope your conclusion is right!
I'm not talkin about resigning Taarabt
Oh and Harry out - he can only take us so far
Pure. Absolute. Ecstasy.
trific. Best performance i've seen in many years.
That was simply glorious.
The missus decided to pop into my man room while I was watching the game. Inter scored and I was on edge hoping Inter didn't continue to find their footing. She watched Bale's magnificent run and assist to Pav.
I think she gets it now.
I have watched that last goal at least ten times. Sublime pass around their CB by Bale and then an inch-perfect pass to Pav. Unbefeckingleivable.
he is not human
Been waiting for a performance like that. BAE had a great game. Some guy named Bale looked pretty good. Could you imagine if we had Defoe with us? Holy shit, what a fucking match! P.S. Totally fucking Hammered right now....sorry.
I haven't fifhted in years.
what a club we support , what a game ... my man crush on Bale just got worse :) Nice post from the chelsea fan earlier on
Finally everybody understands my love for Spurs , they have seen the light
All these years of waiting and suffering made good on this magical night
Suggested titles, the Incredi-BALE Spurs
Bale played shit. Couldn't even got on the score sheet.
Two reasons why Bale is going NOWHERE:
a) Other than Chelsea & City, no-one in England can afford him. He seems happy to be a fish in a reasonable sized bowl. He's well grounded and Harry said he's low maintenance and just gets on with things.
b) Harry last night - ""I gave him four days off last week because I thought he needed a break and told him to go abroad. He did. He went to Cardiff to his mum's. I don't think he needs to go anywhere else to play his football. He needs to stay here."
He knows what he's suited to!
We play the kind of football that let's him run free.
If he goes to Real, he's going to be in a side that Mourinho manages. That means he'll be asked to stay back instead of going forward.
It's the same if he goes to Italy.
'Levy.....your mission - if you wish to accept it - is...... KEEP BALE'!!
Cardiff, that's so sweet
http://www.tottenhamblog.com/2010/11/03/how-the-italians-saw-the-game/ This is amazing!
I heart you Gareth Bale!
so happy right now.
I'm going to be buzzing for weeks! I'm so emotional right now......
Amazing night. Very thrilled.
1) Did you see how Modric sold a dummy and passed clean through their centre of defence?
2) Hutton needs to develop a better understanding with Gallas and with Lennon. Otherwise Lennon is wasted.
3) Jenas is still crap. Why still no Kranjcar when VDV or Lennon went off?
4) Cudicini is improving. We still have no clean sheet. Did our defence remain unchanged for the first time? BAE, Kaboul, Gallas and Hutton?
5) We got lucky. Rafa Benitez is arrogant and didnt see the need to double team on Bale even after his performance in the first leg. Sir Alex and David Moyes certainly didnt think so, and effectively nullified him.
6) Crouch has the potential to work a devasting partnership with VDV, but they must develop a better understanding. Perhaps his GF should bond more often with Mrs VDV.
7) Overall I would like to think our team enjoyed taking on the cream of Europe. I'd like to think it's games like these that convince them Spurs is the place to be. I do hope that players like Bale, Lennon, Huddlestone, Modric realise the opportunity given to them by playing for Spurs. And would deter players who think like Berbatov.
"Call Maicon a taxi!!!!"
I died of laughter when we starting chanting that one! The "world's best right back" battered by a mere 21 year old. Time to consider retirement?
COYS!!!!!
What a night what a f**king night. This is why we support the mighty whites. Did I even hear Andy Gray supporting us last night? Maybe we are becoming one of B4? For me though it was Ruud Gullits comments saying that this is how football is meant to be played. We took on the Champions at football not some defensive stifling game and in fairness to Inter they came to play also. Gullit said that the rest of Europe will sit up and take notice now. Not only did we do it but by God we did it the Tottenham way. Bill Nick would have been proud of that display, well done to Harry and the boys. What a night....Im still pumped What a glorious glory glory night. We have to have this every season now pleeeeeease
think Maicon has questioned his sexuality after last night - for 90 minutes chasing Gareth Bale's arse - best right back in the world my arse!
COYS
I really dont know what to say exactly.
I'm still slightly stunned. I have never seen a player like bale...except maybe Cafu....fuck me how fit is this lad.
He's going nowhere except skywards with us....jeez I hope we can push on from this and deliver performances in the league against the teams we should be beating as a matter of routine. We all know we will 8/10 times deliver against the big 3 at the lane but rolling over teams like bolton and getting the result sorted early in the 90 is what we must lean to do.
Pressure and expectation levels for the whole team and Bale have just shot through the roof. Coyle will double team Bale and we'll get the usual assault type defending on sat. This happens to the others too but deal with it and get the desired result most of the time.
I'm stoked ... had a meeting this morning but cant wait to get into the office in the PM to hear what the Arse fans have to say. Remarkably I got no texts last night from them just 1 from a pool fan biggin us up.
Thanks to the Chelsea fan on here...nice words....hope you have a great season too...finishing in the top 2 (us above you....tom stop...dont be getting carried away!!)
Wow
yes....that was one amazing game...! fantastic reasult for you guys. congradulation!

Brook....that really you?

Bale's going nowhere

You have to give credit to Arry, in the modern game of two holding midfielders etc he certainly does play the Spurs way...
Interesting to go over what he said before the game:
Redknapp is such a headline-machine these days that some will have suspected his rumination on team selection was for dramatic effect. It repays a second listen. "There is a feeling that attack is the best form of defence for us. We are an open team and I don't have any option other than to pick an attacking midfield," he said. "I have nothing but attacking players.
"I could leave [Rafael]Van der Vaart out and play with three central midfielders and be strong in there but I would not do that. This is the way I have developed the squad. We have a go. What do you do with a Modric? How do I leave him out to go and put someone bigger and stronger in there? Or how do I leave Van der Vaart out? It might make it a wild ride for everybody but we are at home."
You have to say, theren’t many teams playing such quality attacking football and beating the European Champs around are there.
I remember when all the Spurs boards were jam packed with posters explaining in detail how Harry was a small time manager who was tactically naive and could not take us to the next level. Not just one or two. There used to be so many of them. All the time. On every Spurs board. Whatever happened to all those posters? Should we send out a search party?
also from the Guardian,,very goood..
Bale is playing himself into the firmament. Speed, skill and audacity aside, the most flattering reflection on him is that he has produced his two best career performances against the No1 side in Europe.
There will be days when Redknapp's vision works against him, when the rear of his team is exposed, as it was by Samuel Eto'o, who scored Inter's only goal. But Redknapp's way is surely the right one, the life-enriching way.
Bale is its purest expression.

Apparently there wont be a DVD for the Inter Milan game - official word from the club shop. Surprised cos I thought theyd get more than a few sales!

Well, the fact they try and compare his goals to games ratio with Ronaldo & Messi says it all.
Completely different types of players......
Bale-issimo!
Bale-force 9
Un-bale-eviable
Bale n' Pace
Any more?
My Mrs actually asked me to tone it down because I was scaring the neighbours with my joyous screaming at the telly last night. Dopey mare.
Last night shows why I am Spurs through and through. And it's also why I got Modric on the back of my Champs League shirt (just in time for the game).
