These are facts that cannot be denied.
champions of europe? lol let's not embarrass ourselves today. it's a great and thrilling achievement but let's not look like mugs
Yeah this is Ten Hag's second season in a nutshell. Even here the general sentiment has already turned in favour of him it seems, like how the majority of United fans hopped back on the Ten Hag bandwagon after their Fa Cup win. Don't think Levy and co are less fickle than members of this forum, so he's definitely staying.
Bad news is that we will once again be hovering around the relegation zone next year as long as he's in charge. With the addition of CL football to the mix players will continue dropping like flies, and even with a fully fit squad I don't see us winning many games with this incoherent mess that our football has devolved into under him.
Good news is that he most likely won't see the new year, so relegation won't be a serious cause for concern. It'll be another lost season, at least as far as league campaign is concerned, but whatever.
I can tolerate a few more months of him. But I just hope we don't fill the team with his handpicked dross under the name of "backing" him, like how United did with Ten Hag after the latter's Fa Cup win. That would set us back for years.

The pot which says Champions League
Liar, pants are on fire.The pot which says Champions League
100% it will make him and the players better absolutely no doubt - they are winners they now know what it takes to be winners and to get a taste of it they will want more
Yes the prem campaign has been generally woeful but there are extenuating circumstances- an obscene amount of injury’s to key players through out the season with 2 lengthy cup runs resulting in a heavy workload and a very young squad signed for the future but not prem ready I’d say very few managers would have done any better
I'd say CL is first then PL
no one's downplaying the trophy, we're just pointing out that we aren't 'champions of europe' which is what many of you are saying as you try and attack your fellow supporters. talk about wasting the celebration. why don't you log off and go have some fun rather than bathing in self righteousness today?
There is nothing here that is abusive or wrong or even controversial
BUT
I often wonder about the moral hazard of such opinions. If Spurs were to win the title next year under Postecoglou- would you "deserve" to take any joy or affirmation out of that having written the above?
Likewise - should we be in a relegation battle in November should anyone saying this cup means Ange must stay take all responsibility for that state of affairs?
I do find the question of whether "some" fans deserve the happiness of this Cup "more than others" quite interesting. I think the answer is: "if you've called the manager a FAT CUNT you possibly deserve it less than, say...

Keep him and hire another manager for league games
They've had a better season,
We've had a more successful season.
Well and the thing is, you would generally associate reaching a CL Final with peak performance at the highest possible level of quality, which is a different sort of achievement than winning the EL.
However IN OUR CASE we reached the CL final in the midst of a terminal collapse of form through a random series of flukes and miracles, including getting absolutely played off the park for about 140 minutes of the semifinal. It was some of the most thrilling and memorable football I've ever seen and I cherish it, but it was not exactly a "we, Tottenham, have reached True Greatness" type of thing.
Whereas send 1970 Brazil into that final season in WHL when the corner had been removed by construction and we'd have turned them over, that was the best Spurs side I've ever watched and it has killed me for years that they didn't get the trophy they deserved.
We exorcised that demon last night.

How fucking dare you
Ask them today, I guarantee you it won't be the answer you're trying to peddle.

The most frustrating part isn't it?
Who is the real Ange? Psycho kamikaze who runs out the same team into the ground without changing a thing in the league.
Or
The pragmatic, different game plan for every team and every game in the Europa league.
Never seen such a Jekyll & Hyde manager
He's still here then?
For a club who went 17 years without a trophy, I really don't think we are in an entitled position to view any trophy as minor.
We came runners up in CL and Prem under Poch are were laughed at for not winning any of the "easier trophies" during that time. We are nowhere near as good as that team was right now. We all know that! But we stepped up when it mattered and won the biggest trophy this club has won in 41 years! Anyone trying to diminish that is not a Spurs fan and if they claim to be, then I don't know what they want to get out of supporting spurs.... Because if you can't enjoy this then whats the point. Will it get any better? Are we going to see Spurs win a CL or EPL in the next 10 years? I hope so but wouldn't say its likely! This is the next best competition we can win and we just won it!
Of course we had a better season. The EL cup is massive no matter what others say, CL place is prestige and money £100m. Levy is a fcukin lucky man.
What progress did woolwich make from last season? Zilch.
