AC v Spurs- Exclusive Picture Exclusive (With Pictures!)

Tottenham won quite an important game of footers on Tuesday night, and to mark the occasion, I've got something a bit special lined up for you today.

For those of you not lucky enough to have been stationed 100 feet up in the heavens at the San Siro, or even have access to a juddery stream because it was yoga night for the missis and had to stay in with a sleeping baby and drink (responsibly) on my own, the brilliant MATTHEW CRAIG-GREENE (@mattcg) has drawn up a few highlights for your pleasure. I'm sure you'll agree that it's pretty much the same as having been there (probably better). If you're not following him on twitter, then pull yer fingers out and get involved.


After realising he's not really that good at football any more, Gattuso goes crazy-bonks after receiving a yellow card, meaning he has to buy the muffins for tomorrows training sesh AND gets banned for the second leg.


Robinho realises that in order to get past Aaron, he'll have to run a bit. 'F**k that' says Robby, 'he can do all that nonsense'. 


Lennons running causes defensive power houses Yepes and Nesta to fall over a bit, and the ball is squared for Peter Crouch to pop it in the score bag

Rejoice! Arise Saint Peter, for thou art King of Milan.

Ugly scenes at the end as Joe Jordan's face is broadcast across the whole of Europe. Not wanting to miss out on any of the fun, Rino begins speaking in the ancient and wisened tongue known as 'Scottish', where a fight inevitably ensues. Lucozade is no match for Super T's. Guess who was drinking what throughout?


In an attempt to steal our thunder, the goons contrived a narrow victory in the same manner as they contrived a draw last year. By getting hammered early and then scoring a couple of goals when Barca realised they were a lot better than them. To quote one of the better tweets I saw on the night in reference to the Arshavin 'winner', 'Fair play to Arsenal. That's the earliest consolation goal in Champions League history'. Indeed.

In other news and on a personal note, the club I always used to go and watch as a lad because I couldn't afford Tottenham tickets on paperboy money (do they still do £10 season tickets for under 15's?), Leyton Orient take on the goons at fortress Matchroom on Sunday. Need more reasons to support them other than being the next team who are playing the Woolwich Wanderers? The form team in the universe at the moment, The O's have gone from relegation fodder to League 1 play-off contenders in the space of 2 months. And if that wasn't enough and you're looking for a direct Tottenham link, a couple of our lads, notably young Belgian Paul-Jose M'Poku and 17-year-old goal machine Harry Kane, are currently on loan in East London, and will be a couple of names to look out for. Indeed, Kane came on as a 2nd half sub last weekend and bagged himself a brace. Not since the days of Matty Lockwood (think the League 1 Gareth Bale- BUT BETTER!) have the Orient fans had so much cause for optimism, and I'm sure you'll all join me in cheering this fantastic club on Sunday.

Oh yeah, and where's Alan Hutton?

  1. If Mathew promises to do the same for all the games I won't bother watching in future,
    Excellently outstanding stuff.
    Particularly like Robinho's wobbly legs.

  2. Agreed Jimmy, much better than watching live :-)

    So many great bits in all of the pics, but love the manga-esque split window on the Gattuso yellow card one and Crouchy's super long arms.
