It's a really unfair rule, that away goal rule stands in extra-time. It's not like the Italians had the opporunity of playing one of the extra-time halves in White Heart Lane.

No, i think it's a fair rule. After all the away team are away, so thus it's an away goal.

Plus the away team had to play an extra half hour away from home.

FC Basle! As good as in the semi finals!

Great to get back to Holland for a major final, the setting in 1974 of the UEFA Cup Final, one of the few finals ever lost by a Spurs team. Needs to be put right!

The away goal rule should be done away with, very unfair.

The away goal rule should be done away with, very unfair.

I think it is great up until the end of the ninety minutes in the second leg, at that point it is a distinct disadvantage to the team playing at home in the second leg.

The team playing at home has an extra 30 minutes at home, that is hardly fair on the away team?

Interesting that Berb's goal came from cocking up a chance.

True but if the away team score the homers have to score twice to advance, and that after the actual game was tied at the end of two normal times.

Straight to penos is the only cure, at the end of 90 minutes in the second leg, if tied they take penalties straight away, that would be good  tv.

The wheels are coming off, as usual.

[T Fearon]

Wheels back on! Crucial three points today in a very difficult away fixture.Keeps the Goons at bay and Chelsea continuing to implode!

[An Gaeilgoir]

7 points and the Semis from the next 5 games, that would be great.......did anyone hear AVB, Shouting "believe, believe" when we were getting destroyed in the last 5 minutes........

[T Fearon]

Hopefully put Basle to bed in the first leg this week.

Desperately disappointing tonight.So reminiscent of the home leg UEFA Cup Qtr Final against Seville in 2007 when the concession of two goals in quick succession proved fatal.Bale stretchered off doesn't look good either
