A very good Tuesday afternoon to all of you! We've reached the semi final stage of this year's Champions League. When we started in August, you'd have never thought that we'd see Ajax and Spurs in this one today. What happened to Bayern? And Juve? And PSG? Well, they've all been knocked out, some of them by this lot. Spurs have been on fire in their new digs at High Road, so tonight will be a real test of that mojo.
At the same time, Bristol City have a vital match in the Championship away to Evil Millwall. It's a must win for them. Lose and they'll be out of the playoff running, leaving Derby and Boro to fight it out for the final spot.
Join me if you're around this afternoon.

Bad news out of the FA this morning. The El Ghazi red card has been rescinded and Patrick Bamford has been charged with having successfully conned the ref. I wondered about that, as Patrick definitely made a meal out of the elbow.
If found guilty, Patrick would be suspended for two matches and would miss both the first leg of the playoff semis.
In terms of European trophies, Ajax have the upper hand over Tottenham Hotspur. Their four European Cups, one Uefa Cup, one Cup Winners Cup and two Super Cups beats two Uefa Cups and one Cup Winners Cup conclusively. But in the head-to-head, it’s Spurs who have the advantage. And how!
Team news out of London tonight:
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris, Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Wanyama, Eriksen, Alli, Lucas Moura, Llorente.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Foyth, Walker-Peters, Davies, Dier, Skipp, Sissoko.
Ajax: Onana, Veltman, de Ligt, van de Beek, Neres, Tadic, Blind, Schone, de Jong, Ziyech, Tagliafico.
Subs: Varela, Sinkgraven, Huntelaar, Mazraoui, Magallan, Dolberg, de Wit.
We're just about set to get going at High Road now.
Spurs have gone a goal down. Van de Beek with the goal and Ajax have a precious away goal. Spurs will probably need three back now in order to feel like they've got a chance.
The end of an eventful evening. Spurs have been defeated by that sole Van de Beek goal in the first half. Doesn't look good for them but their still in the tie.
