Does anyone remember when we finished 2nd to Leicester?

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.
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!
 
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.
Can’t agree with that.
Ask any player whether they would prefer to win Europa or finish runners up in CL.
It’s all about the silverware.
And not being the bridesmaid.
 
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)
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..

People like Jan, Toby, Dembele,Kane deserved a couple of pots and that team could and should have lifted them

100%. Loved the Poch years and the football and vibes were unreal.

Last night was even better than that though, and as a result I think regardless of how long he’s around, it means that Ange’s legacy at this club is bigger than Poch’s.

Totally respect others will disagree with that, but Poch never got us there and Ange did.

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.

Sorry, I read this as rival fans that you were mates or acquaintances with, who absolutely bantered us after losing that game.

You know what mates football banter is like all
over the World

It’s good natured banter and that’s all it is where it’s given and taken and I’m as bad as anyone but at that time they all looked up to us and the side that Poch got together.
They grudgingly accepted that we were the best team in the PL during that period as I accepted that we didn’t get a trophy for it for one reason or another!

Last night Ange got us over the line and nobody can take that away from him and if you check my posts prior to the game I was quietly confident that he would despite some of our league performances earlier

There shouldn’t be any cunt offs on here today but that’s TFC for you!!

Ange should definitely remain for the final game which should be a celebration and also the bus parade of the trophy down the High Road

Whether he remains next season is a subject for another day

COYS!

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’ve won the biggest trophy we’ve ever won in the club’s history.

Granted for the third time, but still the first time in 40 years.

We’ve had better teams that didn’t win anything this big but as the scum are finding out today, you don’t get trophies for being the better team.

Just enjoy it. We’ve been laughed at for not winning shit, who gives a fuck what people think about us when we have won something

Newcastle beat Liverpool and other good prem teams and Palace beat Man City and Villa. Not comparable.

But anyway, there’s no point in bringing up facts .. I knew what would happen as soon as we won this and I know what’s coming next. Facts for now won’t matter - it’s all about optics.
