It was much more of an achievement to bring Spurs to the CL final in 2019 even if they lost (against a prime Liverpool team) than winning the EL (or any domestic cup).
Utter nonsense.

Whether you like it or not, Woolwich are still seen as a force in European football (particularly after beating Real M. in both CL games), while Spurs - even after winning the EL - is not seen as an top European club. That's a fact right now.
Ah, so you’re a gooner troll. Good to know.Whether you like it or not, Woolwich are still seen as a force in European football (particularly after beating Real M. in both CL games), while Spurs - even after winning the EL - is not seen as an top European club. That's a fact right now.
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.
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.
Europa League is far above the League Cup.
That's not up for debate, frankly. Anyone who wants to talk down our achievement last night can fuck themselves with a rusty poker and get the fuck off this forum.

They're absolutely not a "force".Whether you like it or not, Woolwich are still seen as a force in European football (particularly after beating Real M. in both CL games), while Spurs - even after winning the EL - is not seen as an top European club. That's a fact right now.
But they beat Liverpools winning points tally last season and “competed”.
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.
Everyone on here is surely so happy that we won last night. The last 30 mins were so unbearably tense and for once the footballing gods were kind to us. However let’s not pretend that Postecoglou walks on water. Obviously there is humour in your post but calling people clowns who were rightfully questioning Ange this season is a bit daft. Let’s hope that if he stays next season that 7 or 8 games in you can continue to be smug and are not the one shown to be a clown. Time will tell![]()

You obviously cannot see thing objectively.
That's Woolwich mentality right there.It was much more of an achievement to bring Spurs to the CL final in 2019 even if they lost (against a prime Liverpool team) than winning the EL (or any domestic cup).
If winning the EL didn't include getting a spot in the CL it would not have been valued as much as it was. And UEFA had to include that CL-spot price for clubs to take the competition serious.
Losing 21 EPL such a pathetic way is not the sign of a winning team culture to be honest. But that's me.
I loved the journey, and the journey was impressive (and will never forget Amsterdam), but winning last night was objectively better and more impressive than losing to Liverpool.Its not a loser mentality, its objectivity.
To get to the final of the CL is extremely difficult. Teams who have won the europa league recently include Frankfurt, Sevilla, Villareal, this level of United side. You don't have to be elite to win it, you don't have to be even close. To win the CL you have to be elite, one of the very top teams in Europe. To get there we beat Manchester City, Dortmund and an amazing Ajax side after navigating Inter and Barca in a groups. It was by far a bigger achievement. Teams who win the EL don't even get out of CL groups- regularly.
Not sure in what world recognising that the elite competition is by a huge magnitude much more difficult equates to a loser mentality. I assume Chelsea winning the conference league will be a bigger achievement than us reaching a champions league final too.
You have in the last few pages both downplayed our first European trophy in 41 years whilst praising our biggest rivals. If you are not trolling, then you are a loser.You obviously cannot see thing objectively.
And coming with your cheap insults really show abut "gooner troll" tells where you mind is right now - i.e. not in the right place.
Whether we like it or not but coming 2nd in the EPL and reaching the CL semis does make a club a European top club. That's the objective truth.A what? Excuse me
They've won fuck all in Europe, West Ham have a higher pedigree than them ffs.
