Fair play to Ange, certainly in the Europa League and to a certain extent the League cup where for most of the games he has set us up very well. It's a shame it's not been like that in the league but that's a conversation for a different day and I'm sure if we win the Europa no one will give two shits about finishing 17th in the league.
Levy has the chance to do the funniest thing ever now by Sacking Ange and bringing Jose back! 
You know it's possible to be buzzing about being in the final whilst still being aware of the overall context, right?
I'm friggin made up about going to Bilbao, I truly am...but I refuse to bury my head in the sand and ignore all the shit that's gone on this season and years prior. It ain't because he's taken us to the EL final that I'm gonna forgive him for the 19 defeats, insulting the fans on many an occasion and co. I ain't gonna forgive Levy for 25 years of ineptitude either just cause we beat Bodo.
Makes me a bad Spurs fan and you a proper one? Cool. But really, that's on the club some of us are feeling like that. Have us even P8 in the league with 8 to 10 defeats, plus not spreading our cheeks in front of Liverpool in the CC semis and Villa in the FA Cup...then my joy at making Bilbao would know no limits.
But yeah, I'm gonna try my best to at least put all that shit on standby til 22nd May, so I can enjoy the sweet without the bitter.
Ange will literally go down as the coldest man in Premier league history with his quote about winning things in his second season, or he will go down as a meme - there is no in between now !
The media machine will go into overdrive now , telling us all that Spurs have no place to beat united in a European final as we are Spurys , I think though the next few weeks will be the perfect storm for Ange , he suits the underdog role!

Hmmmm I know. But they should've. Point was, soon as we faced decent competition that had their shit together, we shook. Gala coulda put 12 past us. Fuck me, even AZ beat us once. Qarabag and Ferencvaros weren't masterclasses either.
In this year's EL, which is the weakest edition I can remember, it hasn't stopped us - or Utd - from making the final. But in the PL, we've seen what's what.
All I'm saying is, let's bloody enjoy it and I pray we win it, but let's not pretend that's the CL and we beat Liverpool, Barca and PSG on the way. Or that Ange is Luis Enrique.
One more game to go Ange , 1 more Game and i won't delete this old quote
Was no talk about bad fans or good fans from me.
Just don't understand why people care about the negatives right now.
Like you said, all the other stuff should be put aside for the next two weeks. Like him or hate him, he's got us to a final and everyone should be behind him and the 'shit' players.
After that, let the battles commence.
The only thing that matters now is getting a win in Bilbao. I really can’t understand anyone who spends any energy on the Ange In Ange Out thing right now. Let’s worry about that later.
I get what you're saying, enjoy it but don't enjoy it too much.
Like if I won £5m on lotto, just remember last week's jackpot was £10m.
If my daughter gets an A in an exam, always remember there's an A+
If my wife orgasms twice, remember there's a bigger bloke out there that would have managed it 3 times.
It's good to remain grounded at the end of the day. We can't enjoy our success too much!
Mate,we can only beat what’s in front of us. You say Roma should have beat us but they never. If we go to Bilbao and play shit and win then no cunt cares. It’s about winning and enjoying nights like last night. We moan enough about far too much and I’m not going to downplay a European trophy ever. Because of the champions league qualification I think the Europa is stronger than most think. I bet all those teams that are out of it wish they were us and Utd today.
Ange gets A LOT of praise in Norway after our display last night, incl manager Kjetil Knutsen who says his Tottenham side is the best team to have visited their ground.
The pundits call his gameplan a tactical masterclass, which nullified BG in a way no other club has been close to in the European games over the last years.

Happy for him, and must say it shows caracter and strenght to pull this up now, after the struggle he and the team has been in.
Crown it with the cup now, and he will be in the history books no matter if he stays or not

Klar dom i natt: – Taktisk utklassing
Mens NRK-ekspert Kristoffer Løkberg (33) lot seg overraske, strekker Glimt-trener Kjetil Knutsen (56) armene i været.

He's not wrong...... I really wish he was a success because he sees the situation with Spurs and the media exactly how it is.
He calls it out......what a fucking stupid question that the journalist asks.
He's telling us all he is a great manager, But last night and the last few EL matches haven't been "Angeball"
So why change ?
even more of a question " why didnt you change and play more defensive in the EPL" maybe we could have been battling for 5th spot, 7 maybe more fans would thinkbetter of you

Ange haters have transitioned from 'he is a one trick pony, worst manager in our history' to the above sort of tripe.
Ange, just get it right one more time against Man Utd and sail off into the sunset with a winners medal and plenty of good will.
A summer window, a new manager and champions League football then immediately turns the club around (that's my optimistic take).

It's not an unreasonable question to ask, and doing so doesn't necessarily make someone a hater.Ange haters have transitioned from 'he is a one trick pony, worst manager in our history' to the above sort of tripe.
If he's willing to adapt in order to ensure progression through the Europa, then it certainly would be nice to give such consideration to the league games, which after all we have to suffer through 38 games a season of.
It's simply not enjoyable to watch your team losing almost every week, all very nice having grand notions of playing the right way and "going for it", but the truth is we've seen very little of that anyway. We've had all of the defensive fragility with no great attacking football on display. It's mostly been naive, turgid, unimaginative tripe.
