Penalty to Rubin...super-soft one apparently...

Scored. 2-3, 5-4 on agg. Rubin have 15 minutes to score two more.

GAME OVER, I SAID.

[stokeriño]

Well, that'll do.

I thought we'd left our propensity for trying to throw away games in the second half back in January.

Dempsey scores, 1-0 Spurs.

[Lineker]

DEMPSEY! USA! USA! USA!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Wahey! Dempsey!

[DavidMarrio]

That lead lasted long. Looks like we are in for another open game like last time

[Lineker]

Oh for fuck's sake. 1-1.

[Thrilla]

1-1, cracking goal.

[GoGo Yubari]

Ah, balls.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Silly Dembele and defenders, after all that hard work.

[GoGo Yubari]

Basel's support is great, though.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Well done Walker. Salah is too good to leave with the ball.

Basel's support is great, though.

If I could ban anything it would be flares.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

This game is EXTREMELY open now. Basel breaking well, Spurs getting forward well too. This is when our high defensive line worries me though, when we play a counter-attacking team.

[Thrilla]

Walker appears to be trying his best to throw this game away for Spurs.

[Lineker]

Nothing new there then.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

What annoys me about Walker (aside from him being a terrible defender generally) is when he gets to the edge of the opposition box and then just stands there. He doesn't make runs, draw defenders, make space or anything. He just stands there and waits for the ball to be passed back to him.

....and another weak finish from Adebayor.

[GoGo Yubari]

Walker appears to be trying his best to throw this game away for Spurs.

He's also basically the reason why it's not 2-1 Basel on an earlier opportunity, so I'll take the good with the bad.

[Lineker]

This Salah bloke is really, really good.

[Thrilla]

Dembele is having a poor game.
