Why can't Clichy be more like Gareth Bale?

Because Clichy isn't from Planet of the Apes.

Bale is a winger anyway. If he played for us he'd be in Shavas spot.

Bale with another quality finish.

Hattrick!

Fantastic from him tonight.

You lads should see if the Make A Wish foundation can get him to me you.

Maybe they can give you a clue while they are at it.

I'm close to criticising Inter for showing Tottenham zero respect second half, but when you look at what happened in the first half, it's easily understandable. Cracking hatrick from Bale, one of those nights where you hit it and it goes in. Strange how they were all similar.

Inter are so damn slow and old. Would love us to get them in the knock-outs, but then they wouldn't play like that against us, so it's kind of void. Eto'o was outstanding from what I saw.

Hats off to Bale. He's exactly the sort of force we need on our left flank. The Spuds do not deserve Bale and vd Vaart

Inter stopped playing after 45 mins, just as AC did against Liverpool in that final. I still choose to mock twitchy and his boys for now

Redknapp: "If Tottenham progress and become a Champions League team on a regular basis"

Already preparing the way for their probable failure to make the top four methinks.

13 days later

Fucking sp*rs really annoying me now...go back to being the laughing stock we all know.

There's another 45 minutes yet, anything's possible with Spurs. Inter have been very poor though. Their midfield has been non-existent.

Inter looks nothing like the team they did on their travels last year. Tottenham have focussed all energies on the Champions League, they are putting in a lot of work. I don't know how long they can sustain that level of energy for if they can they will hold on else it will be a draw or an Inter win.

Bale, Modric and Van Der Vaart are too good for Spurs and yet they rely on Crouch's height to make something of their high tempo approach play and passing.

Bale has done Maicon a couple of times tonight and left him for dead. Tottenham shouldn't make it to the next round.

Spurs are battering them.

Far too easy. Watching that Nwankwo just jog alongside Bale, did it remind you of anyone?

Their midfield has been non-existent all night.

They were rubbish in the group stages last year.

Also, Maicon's reputation has taken a massive battering tonight.

Maicon should head down to the police station and report Bale after tonight.
