First 37 mins, so dull. No penetration whatsoever, just endlessly recycling possession sideways and backwards and sideways and backwards. We've created virtually nothing, as usual.
Please, please someone just make a forward run!

Bloody hell - Röhl really just throwing everything at the wall at the moment isn’t he? Let’s hope something sticks today 💪🏻

McGregor withdrew his services, he's missed his chance. Gray and Barnes want to play for England. I doubt Dembele is good enough, but Burke might be - we've given him 13 caps already.
I predict there will be someone out of the blue who comes forward, as with Adams & Hirst. Or maybe that Chicago GK?

Technically a penalty but I'd be raging if it went against us.
Mostly poor first half but better final 15, created a few half-chances.
Most importantly we are competing. I reckon Braga are similar standard to Club Brugge, that still haunts me... but this is night and day compared to that

Rangers take the lead at home to Braga on the stroke of half time. Tavernier despatches from the penalty spot after a fortuitous handball penalty award. 1-0.

‘Not good enough’: Archie Gray blunt on Spurs defeats but finds positives from PSG trip

Gray pleased team scored three goals in Paris

He praises ‘helpful’ individual plans from coaches
Archie Gray believes Tottenham can take a number of positives from Wednesday night’s 5-3 Champions League defeat at Paris Saint-Germain despite describing the result as “not good enough.”
The pre-match talk at the club had been about effecting a reset after Sunday’s 4-1 derby humbling at Arsenal to boost confidence for Saturday’s home game against Fulham. Spurs are desperate for a victory at their stadium having won only once there in the league this season under Thomas Frank. More broadly, their home league record shows three victories in 20 matches.

Vitinha, João Neves and Fabian Ruiz is like a 2025 version of Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets for me. Just a sensational midfield three to watch as a neutral, and they complement each other perfectly.

Huge news, decisive action from Cavenagh etc, hugely embarrassing for them to have had to sack Martin and their long-term guy Thelwell by December!
I wonder if Danny Rohl's squad dossier was the tipping point in making this decision, if he thinks they're all a bit scheisse...

One thing I've been trying to do of recent - to combat the doom - is find things little things that help people and leave me feeling a bit more positive.
And I've yet to come across one better than giving blood. It's simple, quick and you can genuinely save lives. I wish I'd started years ago.

Absolutely mental night. Atmosphere was off the scale. The noise, oh my god. McTominay's overhead kick, wow. McLean from the halfway line, insane. One of the greatest games I've ever been to and ever will.

We beat Denmark last time at Hampden. We can do so again.
We effectively have 2 playoffs now - Hampden v Denmark on Tuesday, and if we fail, an actual playoff. Two chances still to qualify.

In light of that Denmark result that has to go down as another huge opportunity squandered by Clarke - Can’t see us winning at Hampden midweek so that’s the playoffs more or less locked in now

$7,000 for a cat. A ticket for the WC final. Over seven times what it cost for a similar ticket at the Euro 2024 final, almost five times what was charged at Qatar 2022. Too much is never enough for Gianni Infantino.
Another price increase for the 2026 World Cup…
Sensing strong demand, FIFA raised the cost of many tickets to record-setting heights — the first large-scale implementation of its “variable pricing” strategy.
