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.
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
 
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!

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.

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.

Ange has said MULTIPLE times before when asked this, that he has been trying to implement a type of attacking philosophy that he believes will bring long-term success, chopping and changing tactics only leads to loss of identity in the team. This is a journey for this group and they are not quite there. Again like he has said multiple times before injuries have not helped him implement this philosophy this year.

Now clearly given the circumstances and importance of these last 2 games he has adjusted, as he knows like anybody else, that it is an immediate win we need.
 
There’s another English bloke over here who goes to watch Debrecen FC , we were chatting , got along fine , when I said I was Spurs he said “ for fucks sake , can’t stand them” I asked who he supported & he said West Ham , he seemed a tad miffed that I was absolutely indifferent towards them .

It’s all a bit silly really
That's THE best way to fuck a West Ham fan off. They think they're all banter machines and they try to make all these "clever" jokes.
Just say "I don't really mind West Ham, it's Man United I like least after Woolwich"


They die inside when you say that. They want the rivalry and it hurts when they don't get it.
 
My head's fucked on Ange. Head says it's best he probably leaves at some point soon.. Although I'm still confident that he's stills absolutely the best man for the job at this present time...The man gets the club. Gets what it is to be a spurs fan.

Absolutely every Spurs fans needs to be behind him and the boys now until the end of the season. He's absolutely right in the post match interviews. We're bang up against it, with media, agenda's, and overall want to see our club fail on all and every front.

Let's not have any of our own play

Roma should have beat us?

So you are also awarding us wins in the games we should’ve won but didn’t?
