Why couldn't Spurs play like that at the Bernabeu?

Because Crouch got himself sent off for two stupid lunges!

They did, they couldn't score there either.

I wonder how the Arsenal vs Liverpool game will go on Sunday.

Liverpool win and strengthen their case for a European place but then they will hand the title to Man United. That would stick in the craw of Liverpool fans and Dalglish. Will they throw it ?

Even if Liverpool lose Man U could still win the title. I bet the Liverpool fans feel caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Like they did in '95?

At least they gave Madrid a game last night. Praise for them in Spanish papers today.

I'd say more because Madrid were already 4-0 up and didn't exactly have to do much pressing or attacking in order to secure the tie and a semi final spot, which allowed Spurs a bit more freedom to play more attacking. I think if the game was only 1-0 or 2-0 to Real from the first leg, they would have played a different game.

They'd get a 5 year contract, 100% control of the playing squad and the option to torture any of the players who give them ****. The problem is that one of them is impossible to get, the other very difficult to get. There's a CL, UEFA Cup, La Liga winning manager who I absolutely don't want. I'd prefer Ancelotti to stay rather than that option.
