Young Boys goal: Dear Lord above, what a start. Spurs just have not got going and they fall behind. Henri Bienvenu smashes in a shot from 25 yards that strikes team-mate Ammar Jemal on the back and it falls nicely for Senad Lulic to coolly side-foot past Heurelho Gomes from eight yards.

5 mins: GOAL Young Boys 1-0 Tottenham

4 mins: First card of the game, for Benoit Assou-Ekotto for a foul on David Degen. Spurs are struggling a bit here.

2 mins: If Spurs didn't know they were in a game before, they certainly do now. David Degen works the ball across the area from the Young Boys left and from the edge of the box, Senad Lulic drills a shot against Heurelho Gomes' right-hand post with the keeper nowhere near it. Big let-off.

1946: In Switzerland's capital city of Bern, Young Boys and Tottenham are under way in the first leg of their Champions League play-off. Here we go.

Tottenham keeper Heurelho Gomes: "I played in the Champions League for four years at PSV and I know how good it is. It's amazing to play in it with Spurs now, it's the most important club competition in the world."

1942: My Spurs fan mate Pearlo: "I feel sick. Never let it be said Harry Redknapp is stubborn. A year ago us playing this game was unthinkable for even optimistic Spurs fans. Playing it with Pavlyuchenko, Bale and Gio in the starting XI, even more so."

1941: The teams, led out by their captains Marco Wolfli and Michael Dawson, emerge from the tunnel at the Stade de Suisse in Bern and there is a lovely little hug between the gaffers, Vladimir Petkovic and Harry Redknapp.

From Rorb on 606: "I'm just curious as to how Spurs will perform. The result should be no question over the two legs, but the interest lies in how they adapt to the Champ's League style. Ideally, very well."

1937: If you don't know much about Vladimir Petkovic's Young Boys, you should probably read my colleague Phil Dawkes' piece on Scott Sutter, the Enfield-born left-back who will be playing for the Swiss tonight. He left England in 2002 for Grasshoppers Zurich before moving to Bern last year. "Every player has their own path," said the 24-year-old. "I consider myself quite a technically good player and the training I received here has helped me."

1934: Not incidentally, there are four other Champs Lge qualifiers taking place today - actually make that three, because in the early kick-off Zenit St Petersburg won 1-0 at home against Auxerre thanks to Aleksandr Kerzhakov's header. Elsewhere, Dynamo Kiev play Ajax, Rosenborg meet FC Copenhagen and Sparta Prague entertain MSK Zilina.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp: "We're looking forward to it, definitely. We've got one or two knocks and made a few changes. The artificial pitch is different to what we're used to, but if we pass the ball properly we've got a good chance here tonight."

1930: Stevo's predo:
Young Boys 1-2 Tottenham

1927: Spurs are favourites, and how. Let me introduce you to the Euro Club index, courtesy of our friends at Infostrada Sports. According to the the Hypercube/Infostrada Sports Euro Club Index, Spurs have an 83% chance of progressing to the Champions League group stage and a 52% chance of winning tonight's game, while Young Boys have a 25% of triumphing this evening.

From theraywilson on Twitter: "Usually a Liverpool fan; tonight I'm behind Spurs 100%. Great to see another British team playing in Europe. Come on, lads!"

1921: YOUNG BOYS v TOTTENHAM TEAM NEWS
Courtesy of Mandeep Sanghera: "Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp makes four changes to the side which drew 0-0 with Manchester City on Saturday as striker Roman Pavlyuchenko, winger Giovani dos Santos, centre-back Sebastien Bassong and midfielder Wilson Palacios come in for Peter Crouch, Aaron Lennon, Ledley King and Tom Huddlestone. Young Boys beat Fenerbahce 1-0 on 4 August for an aggregate 3-2 win to get this far and Xavier Hochstrasser replacing Emiliano Dudar is the only change from that side."

From Chris, Scotland, via text: "I think Spurs may endure a set-back tonight before winning the tie at home. It's tough grinding out results away from home without the pedigree."

1917: By the way, save the gags for another day. Well, the distasteful ones anyway. Not wanted here.

1916: Let me introduce you to Mandeep Sanghera, who will be writing our match report tonight: "The last and only time Tottenham played in European football's top competition was back in the 1961/1962 season. On that occasion, they reached the semi-finals of the European Cup and lost out 4-3 on aggregate to Benfica. Now, only a play-off against Swiss side Young Boys to get into the group stages of the Champions League stands between them and a long-awaited place among Europe's elite. Spurs are favourites, but boss Harry Redknapp will be hoping his team's nerves will not be jangling in such a significant game on the artificial surface at Stade de Suisse. Young Boys were runners-up in the Swiss league last season and, despite a stuttering start to their domestic campaign this time, they did cause an upset when they beat Fenerbahce 3-2 on aggregate to get this far."

1914: Want to know how the Tottenham crew are feeling right now? Here's the first instalment of chat from my mate Pearlo, a massive Spurs fan: "I can express the thoughts of all Spurs fans when I tell you this is destiny. No complacency and no hiding. Win this and we can ruffle feathers in the Champions League. No exaggeration to say our season and future depends entirely on these two games."

1911: Quite honestly, I couldn't care less who you support, I just want you to get involved. If you know Twitter I'm always around @Stevo_football, you can send texts over to 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide) and there's also the 606 playground to think of.

1906: It's too early to be the defining moment of Tottenham's season, but what happens in Switzerland this evening could quite easily set the tone for the rest of their campaign. Lose over two legs to Young Boys and they are out of Europe completely - win, and the riches and prestige of the Champions League are theirs. What I'm trying to say is this: tonight is important.

1903: The great Eminem there, opening our coverage of Young Boys v Tottenham in the Champions League. It's the play-off first leg and it is taking place at the 32,000-capacity Stade de Suisse in Bern. Unfortunately Eminem can't be with us all night, so you're stuck with me, Jonathan Stevenson. After that news, the only way is up...

1900: You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
