You created nothing though. Even with RVP on, they were throwing EVERYTHING at you. And he probably would've came off for Bendtner anyway because he had been anonymous. And in the first game the ref f*cked them up too.

Nervous Tottenham fans can take comfort in statistics ahead of their Champions League second leg against AC Milan, argue our friends at OptaTottenham host AC Milan on Wednesday hoping to reach the quarter-finals in their first-ever appearance in the UEFA Champions League. Though they hold an advantage following a 1-0 win at San Siro, there is still concern that this accomplished Milan side could turn the tie around.To calm any frayed nerves, Opta offers five reasons why Spurs fans should stay positive:Milan’s ageing defence Spurs' defence has been shaky at times in Europe this season, but they are not the only ones. Of all the teams still in the Champions League only Milan have allowed more shots on target (43) than Tottenham themselves (39).White Hot LaneSpurs have only conceded more than once in a game in their last 33 Premier League or European matches at White Hart Lane, in a 4-2 win over Blackburn Rovers last November. Meanwhile Manchester United are the only team to have stopped Tottenham from scoring at White Hart Lane since August last year.History is on their sideIn the UEFA Champions League era, 14 teams have won the first leg of a two-legged tie 1-0, and only one of them has then been knocked out. Panathinaikos defeated Ajax in the Netherlands in 1995-96 but slumped to a 3-0 defeat at home in the return leg. Ajax went on to reach the Rome final, where they lost on penalties to Juventus.Milanese travel sicknessMilan have failed to score in four of their last five Champions league games against English opposition and have only won one of 14 European matches away from home in England: the 1-0 victory over Manchester United in February 2005. This run also includes their only previous visit to White Hart Lane, a 2-1 reverse in the semi-final of the 1971/72 UEFA Cup.Bale is backFollowing his return against Wolves from a back injury, full-back Gareth Bale looks set to feature against Milan after missing the first leg. This season in the Champions League only Lionel Messi has made more successful dribbles (30) than the Welshman (28), while he has made at least 15 crosses (61) more than any other player.

Zambrotta, Antonini, Boateng, Oddo, Boateng and Pato (returned to training yesterday) all included in the matchday squad despite being nowhere near full fitness,Ambrosini, Pirlo, Inzaghi out injured, Gattuso suspended,van Bommel, Cassano, Emanuelson cup ineligable.A rumoured starting midfield to include Merkel (gives the ball away at every oppotunity but has potential), Seedorf (exposed against counter attacking and pressing sides because he hangs on to the ball), and Jankulovski (third choice leftback and utterly sh*t). Boateng's fitness decides the formation though according to Allegri so he may be included in the midfield or behind the strikers depending on how he trains today. Milan have no chance against a team who will attack and run directly at pace that we seen Europe this season,Milan don't have the personel or midfield to take control of the match and the attack will again be isolated as Milan have no ball players in midfield and Boateng's dynamism will surely be tempered by his ankle injury, if only van Bommel and Cassano could play! To qualify, Milan will have to play an absolutely perfect match against their least ideal opponents,

Sky Sports needs to stop comparing Maradona and Messi.its pointlessuntil Messi wins the WC on his own by dragging/motavating his team mates through games and joins Wigan(equivalent of Napoli in them days) and wins two Premiership titles/Europa league only then he will be better than Maradona
