Those same fans bantered the fuck out of us when we lost the final.
They can’t do that today, apparently it’s just our own fans downplaying it.

We're really talking about 2nd place is better than winning a trophy on a Spurs board
I'm not unsympathetic to the argument but I'm so fucking glad the gooners now know exactly what it was like for us to walk away from 2015-19 with fuck all.
Whoever said the League Cup ranks above the Europa needs some hardcore medication
Yeah I'm sure Son much preferred the feeling at the end of the CL watching the scousers raise the trophy and inspecting his second place medal than last night...
Mate.....come on
Yes but when do we break ground on his statue?
He can have a statue (a small one) if it means he walks away after this.
My biggest fear was he stays due to the emotion overriding the facts of what happened last night. Which is what has happened. I understand and know why (this is a club that hasn't won anything in yonks) but also know that keeping him on is going to lead to more of the same last season, and we'll be in the CL so there will be no weaker competition to fall back on.
Ah well. Ultimately you'd take that for a trophy.
That night will go down in spurs history - but if you ask them today, which one is the greater achievement, getting to and losing the CL final or winning the europa league last night - id be very interested to hear their point of view.
my point isn't that the former is not some kind of achievement, it's that it is not a greater one than winning something.
Let me ask you this.
If arnsel had beaten PSG and gotten to, and lost the CL final, would you see that as a greater achievement than us winning the europa?
Cup Winners Cup 1994 - George Graham. Surely that counts?
What about Pool and City?
If you'd of said to me lose europa and sack ange or win Europa and keep him I'd of said win and keep him. I've not been on board with this appointment pretty much since his name was mentioned but I have to thank him because last night being at White Hart Lane I experienced something I'd convinced myself was never going to happen and it's the most incredible thing I've witnessed as a spurs fan. For that he has my eternal gratitude and I think he should get the start of next season to put the league form right now.
Read my post before having a go as I was referring to the fans that I’m acquainted with so it wasn’t those same fans who bantered us
Maybe the sort of company you keep?
Just to be clear in no way am I downplaying last night’s result
It was brilliant
Scrappy game with two poor sides but the result was all that mattered and we got over the line!
Winning last night is a million times better than losing any final. No-one wants to lose any final. Winning is all that winners care about.
Boggles the mind, we win a trophy and some of our fanbase still seems determined to sit in Woolwich's shadowWe're really talking about 2nd place is better than winning a trophy on a Spurs board
Woolwich a team of serial bottlers who literally coined the phrase top four trophy
People in here trying to tell me these losers had a better season than us when they won fuck all
No no no and no, we need a proper manager. This trophy was tottaly out of the blue, we got tô the final playing horrible football in some matches, with a bit of luck and thanks to a very good squad that Ange managed to finish 17th in the Premier. Nothing suggests he deserves another chance, football didn't improve under him since he arrived and we are unwatchable most of the time. Also UCL is a Very different challenge.
So you &others can continue to undermine him!
Some fan you are!
Id rather have a uefa cup than finish 2nd.
Does anyone remember when we finished 2nd to Leicester? We try our best to forget.
We will never forget last night.
For me there's a huge unresolved question in all of this.
Has Ange changed? Is bunkering in with a lead something we do now?
Has Ange changed? Is bunkering in with a lead something we do now?
So would most sane people
Yeah I think this is a fair opinion.
Listening to all the players tonight really felt like a mentality turning point - they now know they can win, and want to win more.
Pick talked about the “painful rebuild”, this year is what that has looked like. Ange, in that, has delivered a European Trophy.
It is a pivotal moment in the club, and I think purely from a mentality perspective it would be a massive mistake to remove the man who instilled that.
