It would be a huge win, but achievement wise beating Alkmaar, Frankfurt, Bodo and the worst United in decades isn’t huge. Our worst team in years could do it.
Sorry if that upsets you. It’s factual. It won’t make the winning of something any less enjoyable to accept that the quality has been hilariously low.
Go on, admit it. It’ll make you feel good.
Fair question. Any Spurs fan who doesn't, needs to question their basis of affiliation in my opinion..

Winning the EL would be HUUUUGE, Massively, bigly HUGE.
I couldn't give a fuck who we beat on the way.
It would be huge symbolically and for getting the monkey off our back. It wouldn’t be huge practically because huge practical tasks require more than symbolism.
If you think defeating the teams we’ve defeated is a huge actual, practical achievement then I have nothing further to say to you as you’re chatting deluduwaffle.
Trophies mate
It would be huge practically as we'd get CL football next season and an increased budget. Also it makes us more attractive to any potential new manager or player.
Fully agree on Levy and the squad, but you really really need to wait until a trophy is won before parping on about Ange winning anything.
I mean in terms of quality of opponents beaten - obviously winning the EL would be big for the club.
And playing him wide left doesn’t help but sadly he should either call it a day or earn some cash in Saudi etc
Well it's a competition for teams who ended the season in the top part of mid table, or perhaps domestic cup winners that ended the season further down the league than the Europa League places.
It's been our best chance of a trophy all season because of the standard of the opposition. I'm still not confident we'd beat Manchester United if we meet them in the final. Our players could well let the pressure get to them, or United just keep fouling Maddison until he goes off injured and our attacking play is then significantly weakened.
Me neither. We had the hardest draws possible in the league cup and went out late in the competition. To win the EL is a massive result for any club. Baffled why anyone would think any different. It is a much better competition too without the loser CL teams dropping into it. Something that should never had been allowed to happen in the previous incarnation of the competition
It's huge, but doesn't mean we're good.
Can we agree to that ?
We should do the same to Fernandes. Without him they have no creativity.
The loser CL teams actually gave it some quality sides. Not sure I agree there, it massively upped the pedigree.
It was also massively unfair. Failure in one tournament shouldnt be rewarded with potential success in another. It never made sense.
This is the blue print to beat United. He kinda picking up form as well. So I hope we can ruffle him and get him sent off once more. Or hope he will get injured from the league or training, like Bergvall, by then. Clip him, they can't fly.
Probably. But it added some spice and some genuinely good teams. Now it’s Europe’s mid off.
I think the quality is reduced massively, the fact the final could be between 2 prem teams having their worst seasons in 48 and 51 years says it all. But its a much more interesting, improved competition for it. It was always absurd CL teams dropping in half way through, made the qualifiers academic. A Europa league place is genuinely worth getting now.
