Its a major win for the club and all those celebrating it at home and at Bilbao would tell you to get a life, you oxygen thief!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.
Can’t agree with that.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.
Yep, it was my biggest gripe with Poch. He sacked off domestic cups every season. And what did we get from it? CL football and bantered to bits..Today has really made me realise just how much I wish we'd won a trophy during one of Poch, Kane and Prime Dele years rather than finishing top 4 (but never 1st)
100%. Loved the Poch years and the football and vibes were unreal.Today has really made me realise just how much I wish we'd won a trophy during one of Poch, Kane and Prime Dele years rather than finishing top 4 (but never 1st)

Sorry, I read this as rival fans that you were mates or acquaintances with, who absolutely bantered us after losing that game.
“Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.”
Especially those with user names beginning with d for dumb.
For me there's a huge unresolved question in all of this.
Has Ange changed? Is bunkering in with a lead something we do now?
Go tell Palace and Newcastle fans that their first trophy and first in 70 years aren’t worth celebrating as much as us losing a final in 2019 because they “aren’t fucking hard trophies”.We're basically doing what we laughed at West Ham fans for, tbh. We're not champions of Europe, we're europa league champions.
And no, we didn't. Not one team we beat make it out the CL league stage - this is a fact.
Enjoy the win without making it about how amazing Ange is by pretending we've achieved something we just haven't - it isn't fucking hard. Nice one Ange, now go so we can try to get back to duking it out with Madrid in the CL instead of Bodo Glimt. Sorry.
Jesus and me both forgive you, Baz!

I remember the wardrobe stuff...It surprised me when I looked at the posts I made after the game that they were so late!
No wonder I was fucked this morning!
