We got the get out of the jail card with winning the Europa League.

When you think about it, this season has been an absolute abomination, worst league season ever, most losses ever, absolute turgid football and manager fighting his own fans.
Just look at the league results on Wikipedia and the amount of red that makes you wanna puke.

The celebrations, the parade and the trophy is just a refund to the fans for watching this bollocks, not a justification for continuation.

Levy needs to man the fuck up. Not just the manager needs to go, we need 3-4 top players. Not average, mediocre. Not kids. Real top quality.

1 point in 7 is no joke. If we get complacent we'll be in relegation battle. At least if Ange stays.
 
Don't let your arse friends hear this, but winning the Europa by absolutely downing tools in the PL isn't hard.

Don't ask me why it hasn't happened more often like you don't know.
Nobody has ever, to such an extent, thrown away game after game after game in order to win it.
Actually, that's wrong West Ham did in the conference league. That is closer to the Europa than than Europa is to the Champions League.

So let's not act as if he's some sort of messiah. 3rd, 4th, 5th best teams from 1 or 2 team leagues are nowhere near top half Premier League sides.

Newcastle won a trophy AND finished 5th.
Palace won a trophy and finished on the most points in their history.

We won a trophy and had our worst season in our 143 year history domestically.

Decent post but we didn't down tools. We were simply poor. I destest this idea that presumes we were so good that we just felt like we would lose games or not give maximum effort. It's rubbish.

As to not hard to win the Europa,knowing the carrot of the CL awaits, just remind me of the other English teams that have qualified for the CL as a result over the years?

An annual occurrence it certainly is not.
 
The inzaghi links the week before the CL final are bizarre. I'd say there is zero chance of us getting him anyway. Must be AC Milan journalists spreading lies to distract Inter before the CL final. Its a nasty business.

Hope no fans are actually buying them stories. You'll be left very underwhelmed if you think there is even a chance of us getting Inzaghi.
 
if he really was the straight talking truth sayer he would've said, 'we had a terrible league campaign with a lot of injuries but a lot we got wrong too and it's unacceptable. this cup is very important for the club and we're thrilled but there's much work to be done to get back to where we belong.'

instead it's, 'yeah mate i don't know what everyone is complaining about. i did miracles.'
He has said that a dozen times at least.
 
i haven't seen the 'we got a lot wrong' part and his tune after the victory has certainly switched to self righteousness.

His attitude and behaviour has been enabled by the club and some fans. It’s allowed him to think this is some unprecedented insane achievement and has allowed him to parade it and act like the league is irrelevant.

It’s extremely small time and short term thinking.

the cl qualification part has everyone feeling like this was a top 5 season for some reason. we lost 22 times. it wasn't just a bad dream. that shit happened

Yeah we got a get out of jail free card at the end due to winning that final. Let’s be honest, neither side who won that game really belongs at CL level.

Winning that cup was amazing in so many ways but we have to be real and look at who we played and then ask whether wins over those teams justifies 22 losses and not even getting 38 points.

Not even 38. We didn’t even reach the usual safe from relegation marker. It’s absolutely fucking disgraceful.
 
if we'd been sitting around top five he would've shit on this cup and given long speeches about the importance of playing at the highest levels, etc. blah blah blah.. ange is in it for ange
hes a master of spinning things.

every game was about winning before as hes such a winner and hes focused on building a winning culture....all of a sudden hes built a winning culture off the back of losing! first person in history to do it...if you believe him.

he really does have the simpletons eating out the palm of his hand. fair play to him, he knows how to exploit idiots!

Look at tbe post match interview yesterday, when asked about the season. He knew full well the league has been an embarrassment to tbe history of this club, yet he managed to say it had been outstanding.
You are correct, the simpletons think he is turning this team around next season, he isn't, because he isn’t up to it, sadly if levy continues with him , then we will all see and feel the fall out.

yep. look at the way he even says it! can see the gaslighting desperation in his eyes! hes fuming that not everyone is fucking thick as shit.

as has been said, id have far more respect for him if he was honest, but hes a sociopath so youre not going to get that, hes seriously insecure. to be honest i couldnt give a shit about any of that i dont care about his problems as a person, the bottom like is hes a fucking shit football manager and shouldnt be anywhere near this level, as the league has shown! weve broke a record for most defeats and not to be relegated.

Yep. A reminder of what he said after the Fulham league cup game early last season when he got some stick for fielding a weakened team but we were flying in the league. Blokes a bullshitter, everything he says is self preservation and self aggrandisement.

I’m here because I want to create a club that has the opportunity to win things on a yearly basis,” he said. “There’s a difference. Us winning a Carabao Cup and finishing 10th is not what I think this club is about.”
 
Has anyone found a clip or quote where Ange actually thanks the fans?

I've heard him use "club" and talk in generalities.

But since the win, I can't remember him thanking us directly.

He may well have; I just can't recall it.
 
You can't debate with Angefans anymore really ....

We play BADLY and LOSE with full squad and it's the players
We play BADLY and LOSE with a number of players injured and it's the INJURIES

I mean, why even bother debate???? I hope he just leave and take his fans with him.
FYI Angefans ... I did not read any of your quotes/replies. My post simply says "no more debating".

WHY ARE YOU REPLYING?
 
It's easy to see how our fanbase can be so divided given the fact that he's just delivered our first trophy in 17 years, and first European trophy in 41 years.

That being said, it's hard to look passed the following:
- Most losses in a Premier League campaign (22) since it's inception 33 years ago.
- Worst points total (38) in a Premier league campaign.
- 2nd Most goals conceded (65) in a Premier League campaign.
- Worst League position (17th) at the end of the season.

I honestly was very optimistic when Ange arrived, and have nothing against him personally, but the stats are pretty hard to argue with..

The bad far outweighs the good. The problem is we so rarely win a trophy our fans can’t be objective.

If Woolwich or Chavs had this exact same season we’d be fucking slaughtering them for even considering keeping a manager with this record over 2 years. But when it’s us, we think oh Ange won a trophy, it’s such a fucking miracle let’s ignore the evidence and keep him.
 
What an incredibly stupid asshole I am!

buttholes keep GIF


I stand by this club and actually seriously believe that the many injuries could have played a role in this club's decline to such an extent that it's unbelievable.

Are You Stupid GIF

They haven't even reached the otherwise necessary milestone to avoid relegation! Not even that!
And then I, the simpleton, believe that winning the Europa League means anything!
Ridiculous!

christmas that is ridiculous GIF by Momentum Church

This club, for which a complete idiot like me wastes his free time, only "wins" this cup because they got to play against teams even worse than Tottenham!
Most recently, against the world-unknown club Bodo, right?
Not to mention those characters from Germany, that village club from Hesse. A club in whose state apple wine is considered a delicacy – can't be a real football club!
They're probably actually synchronized swimmers!

can't believe it idris elba GIF


Since I'm also from this state in Germany, I hope you understand my cluelessness as I navigated the forum!

My idiotic belief that a) there were too many injured, absolutely crucial players last season and b) winning the Europa League is something very special for me, without considering that if Tottenham or even Frankfurt win the trophy, it can't be a serious trophy.

I was always afraid of the football-free period because I love the sport so much.
Now I have until August 16, 2025, to reflect on my inappropriate behavior before I post another pile of garbage on this forum.

oh my doctor GIF by David Firth


___________________________________________________________________

I couldn't give a damn whether we won the trophy against United or Cloud Cuckoo Land!
I couldn't care less!
On May 21, 2025, Tottenham Hotspur FC beat 35 – that's thirty-five! – clubs to win the Europa League, thus qualifying for the 2025/26 Champions League!

And next season, I'm predicting that this fabulous club will finish in the top 10 of the PL!

I'm already looking forward to the coming season and am offering to try to get another ticket for a possible match against Eintracht Frankfurt, so that I can humiliate a user in this forum by having to watch a match between two insignificant clubs live.

No offense!


COME ON YOU SPURS!
