Fingers grow back right? Like fingernails? Not nervous at all. Nope.

We're going to take at least one of our chances tonight.

I'm too nervous to be nervous at the moment.

Vardy you utter ****.

Tadić could have a field day against that. Score one and we'll do it, VvD or not.

Has definitely been said on SSN that VvD has travelled. Doesn't mean he's fit to play the full match tonight of course, but does suggest that The Sun based their article on the tweet from the fake SSN twitter account

Not according to what the lino was indicating. Was just odd all round.

Solent saying VvD not badly injured according to Puel... But is a doubt for Liverpool. We played well today, and finally had a game where we took enough of the chances we've been creating.

No ill will towards him from me. Can see both points of view, we think we can get better value than Fonte at this stage of his career than what Fonte was asking for, while Fonte off the back of a European Cup win wanted a pay day and also to try and ensure he has a place to compete for a World Cup spot. All in all it's just a shame that he's had to go to get what he wanted, he's been awesome for us for a long time now. We'll certainly miss what he bought to the club, even if time and tide meant we were going to have to deal with that anyway sooner or later.

Would be foolish to say anything else really, otherwise you're damaging your own negotiating position. Can't read anything into it either way.

Not quite sure how we managed to lose that one. One of those days.

Depends if there was a sell on clause, and the type of clause if there was one. Sometimes it's a percentage of the sold-on price, sometimes it's a percentage of the sold-on profit.

Right, a win and a clean sheet in the first leg. Would have taken your arm off for that at the start. There's a small amount of disappointment, but we've given ourselves a fantastic chance. Now we go there, give it everything, and take our place at Wembley. Liverpool are missing Mané, they're starting to tire from Klopp's pressing game, and Coutinho is going to take a few weeks to get back to full match sharpness. This is where the investment of the rotation policy hopefully starts to pay us back.

Very good result. Could and really should have been so much better.

Was that handball from Lovren on the line there?!

Officiating. Enough said.

Definitely given ourselves a chance here. Liverpool having more of the possession but we're doing a good job of stopping them doing anything with it so far. We actually look pretty decent in attack as well. Fair to say that it looks like Liverpool are missing Mané.

Amazing how a goal can actually make you more nervous! We might just have a chance here...

Utterly ridiculous decision to send Redmond off, tussling like that happens dozens of times every game and he'd already allowed the game to play on. The ref only pulled it back after he missed his shot. Spurs had been clinical with their chances before that, but we'd actually been very good at limiting them. Spurs certainly weren't worth 4-1 against us.

It's less a rivalry and more pest control. It's fun to see them disappointed after they've built the game up in their own heads, but I get far more enjoyment myself out of victories over teams at or near the top of the league. We have a bigger rivalry with Everton at the moment.

Not often that I want Liverpool to win, but quite enjoyed that, especially with having Mané as fantasy league captain.
