    Jordan in London: I would play for the Las Vegas Mobsters in the USL Premier Development League. That's got to be one of the worst names ever!

    Dan McShane in Birmingham: It would have to be Sampdoria, strong history, great stadium and probably the best kit!

    Christian: For sheer noise and bedlam it would be Olympiakos, Besiktas or Galatasaray. For climate, lifestyle and architecture of your beautiful Moorish country house then Sevilla. For the strip and attitude either Napoli or Marseille.

    Earlier we asked which foreign football club you would like to play for before returning for a swansong in the UK in your imaginary playing career.

    That Jonatan Soriano at Red Bull Salzburg is some player.

    He scored 31 goals to take his team to the Austrian title last season. It is a 36-game season there as well.

    Suarez-esque.

    "The one and only half chance Spurs had in the duration of the first 45 minutes they scored from. It was a finely taken left-foot shot across the keeper from Kane but Spurs have offered very little other attacking play.

    "Besiktas have had the better of the match and should be ahead. Spurs will have to be looking to play better in the second 45."

    Celtic lead 1-0 against Dinamo Zagreb but in Group D's other match, Red Bull Salzburg have come back from 1-0 down to lead 2-1 at Astra thanks to goals from Kevin Kampl and Jonatan Soriano.

    It is turning into a bit of a stroll for Spanish side Villarreal tonight as they lead 2-0 at the break against Apollon thanks to goals from Gerard Moreno and Javier Espinosa. In the other Group A game, two goals in the space of a couple of minutes means it is 1-1 between FC Zurich and Borussia Monchengladbach.

    Beard fever may be running out of steam in England, but it is still virulent in Besiktas. To add to Slaven Bilic and Olcay Sahan's efforts, check out the fan in the centre of this pic from White Hart Lane.

    It is like Tom Hanks in Castaway.

    Ian Marks:, external Spurs logic = spend £100s of millions on imports and our best players in the last three games have been three home-grown lads.

    Simon Tilbury:, external I'm sure Harry Kane is the reason Spurs didn't buy a forward in the summer. Either that or Daniel Levy is too tight!

    Jynks:, external Thank god for Hugo Lloris! Great all-round keeper. I would have made him Spurs' captain.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:55 British Summer Time 2 October 2014

    A half of two quarters. Besiktas calling the early shots before Harry Kane stopped them in their tracks with a beaut of a goal.

    Harry Kane is unlucky here. The Tottenham striker tip-toed up on Olcay Sahan perfectly before sliding in from the blindside to take the ball clean as a whistle.

    Referee Manuel Grafe doesn't like it though and blows up.

    Entertaining so far. Dinamo might feel they have had enough chances to equalise.

    "Spurs need to go into half-time, have a chat, make a few tactical changes and maybe even a few personnel changes, because how Besiktas are not ahead in this game is beyond me."

    They have just a couple of minutes to go. Flick the kettle switch and slice the orange.

    Roberto Soldado is within a whisker of getting a toe onto Andros Townsend's cross. Any sort of touch was a certain goal with the Besiktas goalkeeper rooted to his line.

    Townsend has been at the centre of most of Spurs' good stuff coming forward.

    Alex in Cardiff: It's been ages since I got on a bandwagon from the beginning... Kane for England!

    George from Brighton: Soldado has a very similar haircut to Kane, now he needs to have a similar goal scoring record, Kane is a goal machine!

    Is it too soon for a Harry Kane for England bandwagon to begin Alex? Nope, all aboard.

    There has been a goal in the other game in Group C, with Greek side Asteras taking the lead against Partizan Belgrade. Home captain Fernando Usero is the man who has scored it, finishing after Partizan goalkeeper Milan Lukac had dropped Pablo Mazza's initial effort.

    As it stands, Spurs and Asteras have four points, with Besiktas and Partizan on one each. Plenty can (and probably will) change, though.

    Harry 'Hurricane' Kane is at it again.

    The Tottenham striker rattles Tolga Zengin's fillings, hammering in a shot from a tight angle that the Besiktas goalkeeper does well to keep from breaking through his gloves.

    Nice work from Andros Townsend in the build-up, playing in Kane with a cute reverse pass.

    "This is a thoroughly engrossing match, with both sides committed to attack and playing the game at a high tempo. Wilson Eduardo has been so unlucky not to score as Dinamo Zagreb begin to turn the screw on the Celtic backline."

  18. Postpublished at 20:44 British Summer Time 2 October 2014

    Harry Kane, sounds a bit like 'hurricane' doesn't it? I wonder if his parents had that in mind.

    Anyway the Tottenham striker is close to a second, flinging himself forward to meet a Ben Davies' cross, but unable to keep his headed effort below the bar.

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:43 British Summer Time 2 October 2014

    Hmm, this Wilson Eduardo lad is somewhat handy. Another vicious strike from the Portuguese - this time on the volley - draws a superb athletic save from Craig Gordon. Warm palms time.

    "Tottenham are in front, but I can't believe it! Besiktas, by a country mile, have been the better side in the first 20 minutes. There's huge relief within this stadium as Tottenham find themselves a goal up!

    "It was totally against the run of play, Kane drifted into number 10 position, shifted it on to his left foot and hit it hard and low. I think that was Spurs' first shot of the evening.

    "Can the Tottenham manager just wind the clock forward to 10pm now? One-nil win, three points in the bag and roll on the weekend. But this game is far from over..."

    Kane's shot was indeed Tottenham's first shot, either on or off target, of the evening.
