Proper Spurs
Really? My main fear stems from it would be so us to beat them 3 times in a season to lose the 4th when it really matters!
Not for me.
Bilbao are a champions league level team and at home in the Final would be massive favorites for a reason.
If we get past Bodo, I’d take UTD every day of the week
He can be successful but still poor. Just as Ramos was literally more successful than Pochettino but nowhere near as good overall.
We won't win it anyway. I'm just resigned to being let down by Spurs.
Brilliant how you wrote that before kickoff, then the big man proved your point by acting a right bitter twat after the game.
6 but our cup winners cup victory didn't have a semi final.
1961-62 European Cup - Lost to Benfica (3-4 aggregate).
1971-72 UEFA Cup - Won against AC Milan (3-2 aggregate), went on to win the competition.
1972-73 UEFA Cup - Lost to Liverpool (1-2 aggregate).
1983-84 UEFA Cup - Won against Hajduk Split (2-2 aggregate, won on away goals), went on to win the competition.
2018-19 UEFA Champions League - Won against Ajax (3-3 aggregate, won on away goals), advanced to the final.
2024-25 UEFA Europa League - Currently in semifinals against Bodø/Glimt (first leg May 1, 2025; second leg May 8, 2025).
That’s what I can’t stop wondering too. Why haven’t they played like that every week?
If they’d all put that level of effort in we’d be much higher up the table.

There is no way he will be sacked if we win the EL
It's fine to talk hypothetically now before it happens - but the reality of the atmosphere changing after we win it would be completely different.
Lose narrowly/unluckily and it's 50/50.
It's not a question of what people want - just reality.
Lose every PL game and comfortably and it's very likely bye.

Of course he will be sacked. He's been fucking awful.
Thanks, I thought there were more but couldn't be bovvered to Google it. Just listed what I remembered from the top of my head, can't believe i forgot the European Cup against Benfica, in hen it really was for Champions only
Good news for us is that feelings of animosity seem to be mutual. He is fed up with us as well, see the not-so-subtle digs that he has been taking towards the club in the last few weeks. Him winning EL will hopefully allow Base to do some nice marketing campaign on his behalf, and we'll split "amicably".
Some of his fiercest critics in the media will be lining up to sing his praises if he wins it though, make no mistake about it. Without any context, they'll be writing emotion-laden articles about how a man starting from the rock bottom has defied all the odds by making it to the top of the game by winning a major trophy with a "cursed" club. All other facts will be swept under the rug obviously. Majority of the non-Spurs fans will be looking at him with sympathy, if not with outright admiration for what he has done.
Whether Levy will be able to resist the urge to take the easy way by keeping him is another story. I'm not very hopeful to be honest.

Here’s a thought, maybe he should stop trying to rip the fanbase apart?
Frankfurt convert any of the 4v2 they had the first leg...or that shite RB of theirs scores one of his 126 chances last night...we ain't even having this convo.
Obviously I'm very happy we're in the semis and God knows I wanna win it all, but that "all is forgiven Sir Ange" from the usual suspects cause we scraped past Eintracht playing peak Grahamball is pathetic.
He’s probably my least favourite spurs manager ever but last night he got everything spot on fair play to him. Pretty much a perfect European away performance. If he can somehow win this and then leave we’re in a very nice position going into next season. However knowing us we either lose in the final or we stupidly keep him if we win it .
Think you will find he’s done here no matter what.
Keith Burkinshaw was moved on after the 1984 UEFA Cup final win over Anderlecht.
There is no justification in retaining Big Ange even if he does deliver a diddy Cup.
Does he bring up the glory days when he was fighting for promotion from the fucking Greek 3rd division or whe he was managing in whatever fucking division the Wittlesea Zebras were in?
No way Levy is sacking a manager who has won the first trophy in 17 years . I guarantee it.
If he starts badly next year..
It's a different story
