I think you may be under a bit of a misconception here L. Thor is a Tott supporter but he has no interest in football. I guess the two usually go together!! Lol.
Bill has a point. I was an avid football nut in the 90s and up untill the early 2000s, but after that my interest has faded -- at least in terms of keeping track of names and results as far as club leagues go.
But Tottenham has continued to be my favourite team throughout. Annoyingly, I didn't see the match, as I was travelling for my Easter holiday as it was being played, but was delighted to see the result upon arrival!

I see, I didn't realise. But you missed an all time classic, Thor.
Arsenal's second leg vs Napoli tonight, and Chelsea's vs Prague. If they both win, they can't meet until the final.
1. Napoli (ITA) / Arsenal (ENG) v Villarreal (ESP) / Valencia (ESP) 2. Benfica (POR) / Frankfurt (GER) v Slavia Praha (CZE) / Chelsea (ENG)
Thor can watch the highlights clips you posted, as he is desperate to see how they did !!
Have you got wifi in Telemark, Thor? Hes on a heavy water-making easter break at the factory there.
Myself, im off to almeria for couple nights. Rain in spain atm and a chilly 12° - whereas south england is due to be the hottest easter since 500 years before the Romans!!

You never go on holiday, I thought. Are you meeting Kev there? I assume he's going on holiday as usual.
The thread will be quiet this weekend. Perhaps Jim, Thor and Mr Marshall can fill the gap. How about it gents?
Arsenal through comfortably and will play Valencia in the semis. Chelsea won 4-3 tonight (they were 4-0 up so made it slightly tough for themselves at the end) and will play Eintracht Frankfurt.
Sat 12:30 City vs Spurs 3pm West Ham vs Watford 3pm Wolves vs Brighton
Sun 1:30 Everton vs Utd 4pm Arsenal vs Palace 4pm Cardiff vs Liverpool
The race for fourth is hotting up. Six into four doesn't go. My bet - Utd and Chelsea. Utd will finish exactly where they were when Jose was sacked.
And then on Bank Holiday Monday it's another raft of Championship games including the Blackburn vs Bolton derby. TBH I really hope it's not Blackburn who relegate them - it could get ugly.
It'll end up the worst of all worlds: Barca vs. overachieving Ajax (though to be fair the latter were in the Europa final a couple years back), giving the planet yet another Barcelona UEFA win.
Why can't Messi win stuff for Argentina? After all, he has Sergio "Never Offsides" Kun Agüero on his team! And Higuain! Those guys ALWAYS come up large on the international stage!
Bad news for Bolton and Leeds this afternoon. We had 36 shots, 10 on target, one goal. Wigan (Wigan!) had 8 shots, 2 on target, 2 goals. Freak match from the reports.
Bolton relegated. Commiserations Xebec, I feel your pain. Hopefully things turn around next season regardless of who owns the club. I hope Monday's game passes off peacefully.
Leeds in shock loss to Wigan. Tied on points with Sheffield Utd. It's going down to the wire.

Are you joking? I can't tell. Historically they've been useless for Argentina. In fact Higuain said after his international retirement that some people would be pleased to see the back of him.
Hello from Spain. Sorry to hear re bolton n Leeds. Pisser. Praying fot a Bolton bounce back next year we hope.
On way back from airport we went to Oasys mini hollywood - basically a wooden western town in Tabernas near almeria. Its where some of clint's spaghetti westerns were partially made altho there are several other similar ranches/towns - Fort bravo and Leone. It was ok - rather rip-offy and cheap tat - they sold GBU t shirts that looked like the spanish poster wud vanish in the first wash! 20 euros to get in then u had to pay for photos if u dressed in a gun n hat! First of all was a 30min queue full of spanish kids n families out on good friday and then after an hour of wandering around it absolutely battered down in biblical proportions so heavy we had to take shelter under overhang. Place flooded. Still got rather damp running back to car. It was ok but bit of washout. Heading home now. Bit knackered as had 2 hours kip last night before getting taxi to stansted.
