explain Celtic fans coming on here November 2023 saying "injuries mate its waht he does". And that's in a league where Celtic can coast 90% of the games. Maybe you wernt on the board at the time?
EPL, he's suicide.

A bit of a breakdown of the match and tactics, not passing about at the back etc...

I see what you’re trying to do here and it’s unbelievably pathetic. It shows that the hard truths I hit you with are eating away at you and your embarrassingly trying to switch it around and say Ive ran away to hide. When in fact ive been on here all week. You’re the coward.
And for your information i was unbelievably emotional after the final. My father is the reason I support spurs but he died a few years back. So yeah watching them lift a trophy without him being around was very emotional. Don’t you fucking dare insinuate anything to the contrary you snake.
The easily swayed??
You really wanted to call us something more rude than that, didn't you?
It's a shame that you are not euphoric like 99% of Spurs fans are.
Eh? VDV, Son, Romero, Odobert, Werner, Udogie, Richarlison and Davies all had hamstring issues and almost all were poorly managed and had a recurrence of the injury. Johnson and Sarr had calf issues too. Then there’s all the players who Ange described as “sore” without any proper detail. We also had stress fracture injuries to Romero and Deki which are a clear sign of being overtrained/played.
So clearly a huge amount of injuries, mainly in the first part of the season when Ange was having them do insane amounts of running. Since he stopped playing that way in February the issues have eased up a bit. It’s absolutely clear that his style of play cause injuries early in the season, Ange himself has more or less admitted this.

I'm talking about this thread, you thick twat.
So he gets a 2 million pound bonus for winning the Europa.
Now, if he gets sacked, its rumored another 5 million. Poor bastard if that happens to him....
Then Levy has to pay someone at least that, with higher expectations for him, and a real risk of failure.
Let's get real here: Levy will not buy ready-made league-winning players for next season, so no, we're not winning the league next season even with Ancelotti or Guardiola. So realistically we're a cup team.
Just as well because I'm nearly certain Postecoglou personally prioritizes the Champions League over any other club trophy.

He tried to win the Caraboa Cup but we couldn't beat Liverpool over the two legs. There's no point pretending otherwise like he only wanted the Europa League. If we'd have met Liverpool in the Europa League we most likely wouldn't have won that either.
Professionalism and buy in aren’t the same thing.
Just ask Nuno who never got buy in from older and more experienced veteran players at Spurs than this squad.
You try and hire any of those guys after this it would be a disaster and they’d be gone before you can blink. We’d be right back to being a banter club.
We are 17th. It’s unacceptable and Ange needs to wear that as much as his EL winners medal but let that be the uniting force that Unites this squad to prove everyone wrong in the league next season.
After winning the EL together this season, they will believe anything is possible. You hire Iraola, Frank or Silva, you are telling them to believe that winning things is over now and we really believe we are an upper middle table club who had a freak trophy. Maybe not what you think it says but that’s how the players will see it
Everyone is a cup team except City and Liverpool nowdays
I don't think he's said that he *only* wanted to win the Europa League, only that when it became obvious that the league was done, he focused like a laser on it, because he felt it was winnable. He was right.
Excellent points that I had not considered.
Fair fucking play to him, I’ve been one of his biggest doubters but he’s given me an unforgettable few nights, nobody can take that away from him. Give him massive credit for Wednesday and Frankfurt away in particular, he got those players ready to die for him on the pitch out there.
I still however think it’s best for all parties for him to leave this summer. The premier league form since November 2023 just can’t be ignored, we have enough sample size to judge his ability to manage us week to week in the prem. He has the chance to go out a hero and be remembered for breaking the trophy drought, I think if he stays he will end up being sacked at the start of next season and it will affect both the way he’s looked at and hinder us next season.
What does change though is the optics, he simply can’t be sacked to be replaced by a silva/iroala type manager, even though I think both of those would do better in the prem, it would just look crazy to sack a European trophy winner for an up and coming mid table manager. For him to leave this summer I think it has to be for a “big name” type who has won before, a Xavi for example.
Interesting to see what happens, because really whatever the board had in place for after Brighton shouldn’t change on the back of one game, but what this cup has done for us and all the emotion of the past few days can’t be ignored. But lastly big up ange for getting us over the line and giving me the greatest night I’ve had supporting this club.

I would argue that conversely keeping him on after finishing 17th in quantifiably our worst ever campaign since the First Division became the Premier League sends a message loud and clear that we are not a serious club that wants to build towards sustained success and are more than happy to essentially "do a favour" to a manager because he finally ended our trophy drought and let us give it back to rival fans for once. You don't think that those players also have it in their mind that they've been an absolute laughing stock for most of the season and had multiple clashes with their own fans, dogs abuse thrown at them all season, and it is in no small part down to the manager?
After finishing 17th in the league under this manager, yes, anything is possible next season, including relegation...
Agreed. The club needs to get him some goalscorers and difference makers in the summer and keep the vibes going.
Lets not forget this was one of the worst finals Ive ever seen in terms of quality. And most games this season I felt like turning the TV off.
