CL is a real competition compared to EL. I agree with you. EL is lower grade comp than even english league cup (because you eventually play real prem heavyweights). 2019 was a much bigger footballing achievement than the EL cup we won yesterday, no question about it.

Glad everyone is having good time, but they shouldn’t get carried away, and should try to maintain some perspective.

Champions of Europe? Champions of Europe Junior League is what it really is. I don’t think we beat a single CL team all season.

Apart from City Twice and Liverpool?
 
If playing in the CL is utter nonsense why is CL footy one of the demands of quality targets then?
CL is the biggest stage in football outside of the WC play-offs. Just ask any (top) player. It's not just a financial bonus for players but a stage where they can highlight and spotlight their talent.
It might ne for the players, but I’m not a player. I’m a fan. And as a fan, I’d take winning the Europa League every day of the fucking week over just participating in the CL and going out to AC Milan.
 
Great trophy win but I won't be blinded by our league form better teams know how to play us and win we are easy to play against while I get sentimentality I would hate to write off next season by November. It wasn't a great game yesterday and I see nothing to suggest we will improve next season by dominating games. Still doesn't change the fact last night was the greatest night ever though at least for me supporting spurs but I won't be blinded by sentiment

Yeah that's ridiculous lmao
 
hahahhahahha
HAHHAHAHHAHAHHA

More of an achievement to lose.

So according to your logic, losing the 2019 champions league final, is our greatest achievement since 1960/1961?

:porrosmile:
Ask any player what they would prefer and you'll get the answer.
In case you didn't know, it's far tougher to get into a CL final than to win the EL.
Bodø-Glimt were in the EL ...because they lost to Red Star in last CL qualification round. Red Star didn't make it out of the CL group stage.
Besides, your logic is based on wrong assumptions: when Spurs won the UEFA the previous times the UEFA was actually considered almost hard to win as the then European cup. So winning the UEFA back then was much more of an achievement than now.

Ah yes, Son’s interviews over the past few days stated very clearly that he was more proud of losing the final than he was winning last night. That’s absolutely why he said he wasn’t a club legend until then.

Your opinion is both idiotic and objectively wrong.
 
Sorry mate, this is pure loser mentality.

You’re first or you’re last Ricky Bobby. The team has tasted first and that will influence their mentality a shit old more than losing the CL final in 2019 did.

Are you genuinely telling me you felt the club accomplished more after losing the final in 2019 than last night?

That is deadset insane to me.
I'd say last night was bigger, we were already in the Top 4 when we lost the CL final, European football was already secured, last night we were sat 17th in the league, looking down the barrells of our worst premier league campaign ever, the only thing that would save it was by winning, last night was absolutely massive!!!!
 
He’s clearly a troll who thinks the Europa League is equivalent of a League Cup.

Either that, or an imbecile.
He's talking nonsense, most PL manages put a second choice XI in League Cup nobody targets the League Cup at the start of a season as a potential prize.
With CL qualification the prize the Europa League is a serious competition, Crystal Palace have never threatened to make the CL places in the PL in my memory but next season they have a chance of a route into CL by winning the Europa and judging by the way they have played recently they could do well in the competition.
 
I can’t help thinking back to the last manager who delivered us a trophy Juande Ramos in the League Cup in 2008. Even at the end of that season when he had only taken over in October from Martin Jol, there were rumblings as to whether he was the right man. 8 games into the following season, we were winless, 2 points from 24, we were bottom of the table and there was a parting of the ways.

And another season effectively fucked
 
Obvious there was a conversation from January with all the injuries between players/board/management to sack the league off. If we needed to we would of won more games. Ange has won a European Trophy. Jol Redknapp Poch Conte Mourinho didn't
Get Eze Wharton Mbuemo Grealish in and let's cook

EL is a much better comp to win than FA Cup or League Cup.

You obvious are biased because you're from Australia (at least that's what your name says) so you naturally wanna defend Angelos...and you're obviously unaware of huge gap in quality between the CL and the EL.
Son is being diplomatic - but on a world stage being in a CL final is much bigger than being in an EL final.
But if you think otherwise, feel free to have your wrong opinions about the objective world of football.
How many top players have you said say, "I dream of playing in the EL"...? None.

It still remains to be seen if he will be here at the start of the next season. The direction for travel has been for so long that Ange Postecoglou will leave the club ahead of next season. Does this victory, this euphoria here change matters? I am not sure it does.
If I was a betting man, I'd still put my money on him not being here next season. But I think what's happened tonight is that he gets to go out on his own terms, he gets to go out as a winner and instead of going out the back door, he can go with his head held high through the front door."
I think he [Daniel Levy] saw what happened to Manchester United at the start of the season with Erik ten Hag and he will not want to make that same mistake. But does the euphoria of tonight change things? I think once tonight is out of the way, the decision will be made and Daniel Levy will remain ruthless about that.

I openly said I’m biased, but I’m a Spurs fan first (and have met many of the members of this forum in person years before he was our manager), and an Ange fan second.

if you can genuinely say to yourself that you felt the team accomplished more after 2019 than last night, then fair fucks. I would personally say that’s a loser mentality, but I guess that’s just my wrong opinion.

Except that everything the one player who played in both finals for us has said disagrees with your opinion.
