Have a heart mate. These clowns have felt like they were winning the whole season and felt like they were finally right about something.

They were basking in it, calling some of us all kinds of names… only to have it ripped away from them in one night. It will take them some time to adjust.

21 league defeats.


Atalanta won it last year...also finished 4th in Serie A and made the final of the Coppa Italia. The team they beat, Bayer Leverkusen, won the Bundesliga undefeated and German Cup. Villarreal finished 7th in La Liga the year they won it, Sevilla 4th the year before that, Chelsea 3rd in the PL in 2019, Atletico second in 2018...

Maybe, just maybe cause their managers & players didn't openly sacrifice the league to win the EL (and save their rep).

Ask Timo. Or refs/VAR.

Even the football gods.


I always win second rate things in my second year.

Or to the 225,000 people who were out for the parade yesterday.

The internet though. It's the place for a weird flex.

It’s just not reflecting real life. I would say most people are conflicted who I have spoken to. It is very complicated. If I was a betting man I think he stays and then is sacked in November when we are still shit. Just because I can’t see levy letting him go now and risking the next bloke being shit. It’s much easier for him to wait and sack him then when will inevitably be mid table or worst

I don't understand, why would I answer that specific question when I'm not even arguing that point? Are you actually reading my posts?

It's obvious CL is more prestigious than EL but WINNING a trophy is seen as a success and trumps all besides all that this isn't my point - you said that Woolwich were a European force, that's what I'm arguing against.

The stupid thing is that this debate kicked off when you said it was much more of an achievement getting to the CL final then it is winning the EL, then proceeded to tie yourself in knots claiming that Woolwich have achieved more than us this season which is downright bullshit and uber weird BTW for someone so desperate to paint such a narrative for us and our rivals, weird.

He’s right- and you’re again reaching, twisting yourself in logical knots in an attempt to save face in a chat room. It’s very ironic that you are guilty of nearly every rhetorical sin you accuse others of.

It is not a crime to try and keep things in perspective. We would have gotten absolutely thrashed in CL this year. We got absolutely thrashed in the league this year. We got squarely beaten in the domestic cups. We were not competitive in domestic cups or the league. The EL was massively easier a comp than any of our domestics or CL.

What exactly is difficult to understand about that?

Read the room mate. I don't disagree with some of the things you say but right now I think people just want to enjoy the feel good atmosphere around the club. And rightly so. It's been a long wait.

Fair enough, I really don't want to take the joy away from anyone. But I also feel I'm not the only one feeling this way.
It's great that we won, but some are trying to make this win about them being right about Ange, while in reality, he has an unacceptable loss %. I'll not accept their narrative. However, it's beautiful to have won something after being so close so many times. Especially as so many so called experts want to shit on our club, saying that we're serial losers who will never win anything.

What are you talking about, do you even know that the debate is?

That's why I'm personally switched off from any negativity right now. We've waited so long that I just couldn't give a shit. Really, I don't care about what's happened or will happen right now. Levy's still in charge so it might be another decade+ before we see anything like this again. But right this very minute, if I was sat next to Daniel in a Costa, I'd buy him a large latte and give him a hug because he held on to Ange when myself and a great many others called for him to go and we've won the Europa as a consequence. It was a seemingly insane coin toss given everything else that was happening that paid off. And we've all won: the players, the staff, Ange, us the fans and Levy himself. Almost a quarter of a million fans lining the streets to celebrate. Spurs are winners again.

You are the definition of embarrassing.

Your comebacks are as shite as your football opinions and knowledge.

You're the Jake Paul of Spurs fandom.

Why are you bothering? You may as well be talking to a wall. He’s going to act like Ange masterminded wins against Madrid, PSG and Barca and not Bodo then United in a final.

The facts are clear and laid out. It doesn’t matter as emotion was always going to win between now and the inevitable continuation of being shit when we come up against decent peers.

‘Uh-ma-gawd he said da third see-son is gun’ be eeevernn bettah, aura!!’ is the level you’ll get from these clowns. They probably genuinely think we can win a league or CL under him because we won against this Utd side in a final.

That’s their level. Don’t sink to it.

That third season line from Ange was a really calculated attempt to try and make him unsackable to Levy and the board.

Thankfully I don't see Paratici falling for Ange's preplanned bullshit. And make no mistake, that line was preplanned.

I've never been a fan of Paratici but if he's involved in AP going, I'm going to be a big fan...
