Did I really just hear AvB just describe his Tottenham team as "heroes"
who have reshaped the landscape of European competition by taking seriously a tournament in which they only managed to reach the Quarter Finals, at which point they were beaten (and were largely outplayed) by a club from the footballing backwaters of Switzerland?
Never forget - Sp*rs are the gift that keep on giving.
Probably meant in the same way people say Dunkirk was 'heroic'.
I never quite got that. It was a retreat, and yet is used as a symbol
of perseverance and fortitude.
"Brave, brave Sir Robin. Sir Robin ran away".
I think that at Dunkirk the heroic aspect was the rescue rather than the retreat.
I rather think that we've cornered the market in heroic failures in Europe over the last four years.
Criticise him all you want but even you have to give him credit for being 100% correct on Adebayor
AVB said pre-match that Adebayor will make the difference and he was 100% spot on, give credit where credit is due
See, that's got the makings of a good gag. A touch more brevity and you're nearly there.
well, it was better than having all those people killed.
