A bit hairy at the Lane

Spurs 1 Slavia Prague 1 (UEFA Cup 2nd leg)

So Spurs go through 3-2 on aggregate but rather than being the fairly easy game everyone was expecting, it turned a tad hair-raising in the second half. In all honesty Spurs were lucky it didn't go to extra time, and THAT would have been a disaster considering the cup final on Sunday. Not one player shone tonight but I'm sure they will up their game massively to face Chelsea; it's a case of having to. Well done to Jamie O'Hara for getting his first Spurs goals and although it took a massive deflection, he couldn't have cared less!

I was surprised the fans were so quiet tonight; no atmosphere whatsoever - were they all saving themselves for the big one?

PSV Eindhoven are our opponents in the next round which will be a test, but we have to expect that every game now will get tougher and tougher. A trip to the Netherlands may be on the cards for me and John perhaps?



Just before I go, I just wanna wish Gazza all the best for a speedy recovery. Illness, drinking and depression over the years have lead to him being detained under the Mental Health Act. Once a genius on the pitch is now such a tormented soul.
