Match We can be heroes part two Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester united UEFA Cup final. Bilbao 21st May

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I suppose by โ€˜theyโ€™ I mean Radcliffe.

Not given the staff tickets, very low key celebrations if they do win it.

Probably more of a cost cutting exercise, but it doesnโ€™t inspire a desire to win the thing
No idea if true but I was told some Spurs academy players were offered tickets but no transportation help or accommodation.
Itโ€™s like being offered a holiday on Mars but you have to own your own rocket . As I said no idea if true but, I dislike Levy so I will take this as gospel


I doubt the above is true





:levyeyes:
The great man has heard about Go Fund Me,no way he gives them free tickets just in case they can get there which merely serves to confirm my anti Levy bias
 
I think this game is a pretty pivotal moment in our life cycle. If we lose, well have no money to spend, have to sell a bunch of players, will likely lose a couple of our better players, won't attract a remotely decent manager, and will slide back to mid-table mediocrity for the foreseeable future unless some of our young talents somehow come good.
I dont think so.
We can end the trophy draught and can get european football again next season but apart from that I dont think it will have a massive influence on the path of Tottenham under enic.
Levy already told us we wont spend much and winning europa wont change that.
But if we lose he has another excuse not to spend money.
If we are not willing to pay higher wages players wont sign no matter if we have europe for a season or not
 
Living up north now in the Manchester office today.

Overheard a conversation then it got to the EL final:

โ€˜โ€™United fan: we are shit but might end up winning as much as you.
Liverpool fan: just the EL nothing more.
United fan: True but better than fuck all, winning even in our shit spell.
Liverpool fan: yeh you will win, Spur's win nothing, will collapse as normal.
United fan: Thank god we got Spurs, wouldnโ€™t be able to beat anyone half decent.
Liverpool fan: bottle jobs, wouldnโ€™t mind them winning to stop you but next no chance they do anything. โ€˜โ€™

Please god, just fucking turn up and win for once! They werenโ€™t even harsh about us, the tone was more this is just how it is, no malice like you would get from an arse fan just honesty and that made it worse.

Would be nice to ram it down their throats mate

Sad but true. The chavs had no problem signing players when they weren't in Europe, they signed for the extortionate wages.

Iโ€™d love for us to turn up and prove everyone wrong.

The amount of piss it will boil will be worth more than the trophy
 
I totally agree. This type of 'conservative' football, where we wait for our chances to capitalise, seems to be working VERY well. It is very controlling, pace-wise.

Last time in Dec was a goalfest in a bad way-partly in due to Forster being an asshat but Sonny scoring that Olympico set us straight.

I'm VERY confident about this final.
Im glad you are. I'm not confident about any game where Spurs can win a title. I have great hope, but I'm not confident. At all.

The sad thing is a lot of fans here hate United, they would absolutely love us to turn up but they think we will fall apart like a cheap suit. The Liverpool fan wants us to win to fuck off United and piss off Woolwich but they have zero hope.

That they think we have little chance against such a poor United team really hits home how badly we are perceived now and also recent decades.

Yeah thatโ€™s never going to change until we get over the line, and even then it will still get discredited somehow

Iโ€™d love to know which top players we signed when we were regularly in the champ lge. Itโ€™s all bollocks , just churned out by the press . Money is the big thing. We are 100m behind Woolwich on wages. Thatโ€™s 10 players on 10m per year โ€ฆ200k per week. We may have one on that.
