Some good vibes from Tottenham fans on 606. It seems like the majority like Ramos's line-up. Time will tell....
1501: It's not exactly a great game so far, but it is end-to-end. Luka Modric tries his luck from outside the box but it goes harmlessly wide.
1500: Krakow are finding a bit of space behind the Tottenham backline and Argentine midfielder Mauro Cantoro provides a moment of worry only to then scuff his shot from a narrow angle.
1458: "If I had seen this line-up any other time I would have said that finally Ramos has gotten it right. But we're trying to protect a one goal lead away from home. He should have kept the 4-5-1 for one more game. Question: If Spurs lose tonight is it really an upset?" dahitman55 on 606

1456: A decent opening down the right from Spurs but Aaron Lennon wastes the opportunity to fire in a decent cross with an overhit effort that goes over everyone. A minute later and he does exactly the same thing.
1454: Junior Diaz looks like he could be a bit of a handful for the Tottenham defence. He looks to outmuscle Chris Gunter in the box but the Spurs man gets the decision from Romanian referee Alexandru Dan Tudor.
1450: Tomas Jirsak goes down injured for the home side, but it doesn't look too serious. Meanwhile Darren Bent gets a header in but it is straight at Mariusz Pawe?ek.
1449: "I am in the ground now, the place is rocking, this lot are crazy. Just hope we don't get turned over. Wish we still had Gary Mabbut shoring things up. Come on you spurs."

1446: The first sniff of goal for Krakow as Junior Diaz cuts inside the area but he can't find a team-mate.
1445: Spurs get a free-kick in a decent position. Gareth Bale takes it but it's pretty limp and straight at the wall.
1444: It's been a very quiet start. Certainly in terms of action on the pitch. The home fans are making plenty of noise though, it's sounding very lively.
1441: Just a gentle reminder that away goals count at 90 minutes in all of the games. So a 1-0 defeat will see Spurs bow out. The problem is Krakow are a bit tasty on their home patch. They even beat Barcelona here this season. They're also in decent nick at the moment, having thumped Arka Gdynia 4-0 at the weekend. But that's enough of the bad news for now.
1440: We're off and running at the Stadion Wisly.
1436: If there's one thing that Ramos loves, it is a cup competition. He was twice a winner of this competition with Sevilla, while also winning both Spanish cups. But since he won the Carling Cup with Spurs last season they have been pretty woeful. Only three league wins have been recorded since then.
1433: So I think it is fair to say this is a monster of a game for Tottenham and their under-pressure manager Juande Ramos. Last October the club gave Martin Jol the push after a defeat to Getafe in the Uefa Cup.
1426: FULL LINE-UPS:
Wisla Krakow: Pawelek, Baszczynski, Glowacki, Cleber, Piotr Brozek, Boguski, Cantoro, Sobolewski, Diaz, Jirsak, Pawel Brozek. Subs: Juszczyk, Singlar, Guedes Filho, Zienczuk, Niedzielan, Lobodzinski, Barreto.
Tottenham: Gomes, Gunter, King, Woodgate, Bale, Lennon, Zokora, Jenas, Modric, Campbell, Bent. Subs: Cesar, Bentley, Huddlestone, Giovani, Dawson, O'Hara, Assou-Ekotto.
1424: Some early, early team news from Tottenham. Fraizer Campbell starts up front alongside Darren Bent in an attacking line-up. Ledley King has passed a fitness test, as has Gareth Bale, while Luka Modric makes his first start in five games.
1421: For the best part of the next 11 hours we're going to be here following the latest Uefa Cup action. But we can't do it alone. We need your input more than ever. It's YOUR special day so fire in those topical texts on 81111 or get involved in the debate on 606.

1417: Whether you call it the Uefa Cup, the Uefa Europa League, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup or The Slightly Less Prestigious of Uefa's Two Major Competitions, Thursday afternoon football gets no bigger in October.
