Easily true. How anyone can look at Forest being where they are and in the semi finals with Villa and STILL not get how easy the EL is for English teams right now I don’t know.
If an English team takes Europa seriously - they have an amazing chance to win it. They likely are better than all non English sides in it by default.
Fair argument but the smart, handsome, people amongst the Spurs fanbase all know that winning the Europa League AND staying in the Premier League is the true benchmark of greatness.
He’ll be appointed as Leroy’s successor and save us all .
You mark my words.

A good piece of evidence for your position would be if the most recent Europa final had been between two bottom-scraping English clubs, and if the quality of the football in it had been a genuine assault on the senses
The usual suspects still shitting on us winning a European Trophy for the first time in 40 years. Sad.
It never seems to occur to them that, given the current state we're in, makes winning that Trophy an even more monumental achievement than it seemed at the time.
Wouldn't be down where we are now if we started the season with Ange.Fair argument but the smart, handsome, people amongst the Spurs fanbase all know that winning the Europa League AND staying in the Premier League is the true benchmark of greatness.
I don't think Ange would still be here now but we wouldn't be fighting relegation.
I think we'd already be down.
You have to think that.
It's easier than simply being honest and admitting you were wrong.
We wouldn't be fighting it, we'd have succumbed to it already.
The rot started with him, continued with Frank and the Tudor decisions was ludicrous. Ange and Frank are equally culpable for our current plight.
Nah. Last year was shit in the league/cups yeah but that is exactly the point.
If he had started the season, then he would have been sacked much sooner than Frank was if results continued to match last season's.
He had less rope so it was start off well or get sacked. The moment we had a run of shit performances, he'd have been gone and we'd have moved on before Christmas.
We'd have been fine but for Frank.
Ah I see what you're saying. In which case, yeah it's a good point, if he'd hung around he probably would have been sacked a lot quicker than Frank was and we'd have moved on to a proper manager earlier in the season.
Can't really blame Frank for not being sacked quick enough though. That's all on the bellends running the club.
They are mad. We'd be dead and buried. Never want the Ange or Frank. Completely useless.
Another Spurs fan who doesn't like finising 5th and winning a European trophy with a lower midtable squad at best.
Very odd. but then saying "I was wrong" takes a certain type of character.
I'm afraid the evidence doesn't really stack up.
Firstly it must be reiterated that the MAIN cause of our problems in the last two years has been a never ending injury crisis. Both managers suffered this bad luck BUT it was particularly acute in the case of the 24/25 season because we can easily see the statistical effect of the injuries.
But - and I'm repeating myself here but I'll continue to do so while people like you continue to peddle falsehoods - after Match Day 12 of the 24/25 season Spurs were in 6th place, 4 points off 2nd, with a GD of +14.
30 minutes later it was announced Vicario had busted his foot. He would join Romero, Van De Ven and Udogie on the side lines. None of them would appear much again for the next three months. Up until that point Tottenham's xG and xGA was Top5 quality and considerably better than anything Frank got close to in his time at Spurs.
When the first choice Back 5 returned in March 2025 they never once played together in the League - however they did play together in Europa League where they went 4 wins 1 Draw and won the competition.
Postecoglou's record with his first choice Back 5 was Top 5/6 points wise. Frank had that Back 5 available for most of his time. We did not at any stage look like a Top 6 side, and our underlying metrics never had us above a bottom half side.
There is no comparison. You are peddling rubbish. I know you need to believe it but it's simply not true.
Not just one of the greatest achievements in footballing history, but human history. This now transcends sport.
You only have to look at that victory parade and the millions and millions who attended. Bringing that number of people together is typically reserved for when a dictator is overthrown or a World War has ended.
Angelos Postecoglou, all of humanity is in your debt.
