Yanga asleep. Only chance we've got is a bit of magic somewhere, should never have taken Shola off.

Too easy.

[Cheeky Hughes]

And Dzeko takes it round Krul for two!

[GoGo Yubari]

Deserved goal for Harry Kane, he's tried hard.

This feels a lot like the horrid second leg vs. Basel in Europa last season though.

[Colly]

Damn you Jolene!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I've never seen Spurs or England win a penalty shoot out in my life. The time England DID win one in '96 I was playing a cricket match so missed it.

Blagh.

Oh well we did well to get back to 2-2. We can look pretty exciting when we're actually chasing a game.

[Starvinho]

The draw is up next, hoping to avoid City and Chelsea, but to be honest I'd take anyone as long as it's at home.

[Cheeky Hughes]

I'm in the same boat, take anyone as long as it's a home tie. I'd have Pantilimon in against Norwich after that clean sheet. Man of the match too!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Operation: For the love of God, don't let any English players take penalties.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Friedel fell out of his armchair to save that one.

DEFOE makes it 2-0!

I'd put my life on Vertonghen manning up.

3-1.

Oh please Lamela, don't screw up.

Boo.

Harry Kane has O'Hara written all over him.

WHOOOOOOOOOOO!

4-3.

[GoGo Yubari]

BRAD FRIEDEL SAVED A PENALTY

[Lineker]

D'oh, Lamela.

[Colly]

Shuffle the cubes!

[Starvinho]

Stoke away. Could be dodgy, but not too bad.

Leicester vs Man City

Stoke vs Man United

Sunderland or Southampton vs Chelsea

Tottenham vs West Ham

I feel bad for Lamela. Way too much pressure to put on him when he's still settling in. I knew what was going to happen the moment he stepped up.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ugh. Friedel takes about 40 minutes to get down. Keeps diving over the ball.

Spurs have some lush penalty takers these days. Really cool stuff. Makes a nice change.

[Lineker]

Finally!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

PRAISE BE! HISTORY IS MADE IN THE HAMSTER HOUSEHOLD!

[GoGo Yubari]

Oh thank fuck Brad Friedel saved a second one. That would be a great moment to retire on HINT HINT.

First penalty shootout Spurs have won in nearly twenty years.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, knew instantly Lamela was gonna miss that one, and the commentator was being a right dick about it. How was he tonight? I just want him to settle & shut everyone up.

[Rainiac]

I'd have preferred to see City win the game in normal time, but 2-0's still not a bad result. Shame about Jovetic, but the squad has enough depth for it to not be too big a blow. Leicester away doesn't seem too bad of a draw (Chelsea, Tottenham or Man U would have been much worse), although in these competitions you always need to fear an underdog...
