I watched bits of it but not all of it, and I went for a shower at 90 minutes and came out just before the ref blew the whistle. Then ran around my house naked. Couldn't deal with it if we conceded in injury time.
I rewatched the whole pre-match and game afterwards until the early hours of the morning. Even though I knew we'd won I was still nervous rewatching it haha.
It's hard to explain but the pressure was so immense that we won on Wednesday. Now that we've done it, I will actually be more relaxed watching future finals, because we've got that monkey off our backs.
I hope there’s a lot of critical, objective thinking when the actual decision is made.
On this board there’s no grey area, there’s people playing down the achievement of finally winning a trophy after 17 long years, whilst pointing out that it doesn’t change the problem at a club which has lost 21 games in the league this season.
Because we won on Wednesday there’s also people running around now basically claiming that anyone who said Ange wasn’t good enough overall are now all sorts of names because him winning that same trophy seems to render everything else absolutely irrelevant.
Two things can be right, there is some genuine decision making to be done because you have to balance the idea of us winning something against long term form. However whole swathes of this forum seem to be more interested in mud slinging because on a given day their view seems to be slightly more correct than the other. It’s just mental to watch, genuinely think both sides have numerous posters who are more interested in being ‘correct’ and calling other posters names than they are actually bothered about the long term future of the club, and that’s before you even get to those who love nothing more than to log on, flip flop between the two and call both sides names depending on which way the wind is blowing that day. Mental.

You think we went into this season with a squad deep enough to compete in all 4 comps?? Not a chance.
21 league defeats.
Atalanta won it last year...also finished 4th in Serie A and made the final of the Coppa Italia. The team they beat, Bayer Leverkusen, won the Bundesliga undefeated and German Cup. Villarreal finished 7th in La Liga the year they won it, Sevilla 4th the year before that, Chelsea 3rd in the PL in 2019, Atletico second in 2018...
Maybe, just maybe cause their managers & players didn't openly sacrifice the league to win the EL (and save their rep).
Ask Timo. Or refs/VAR.
Even the football gods.
I always win second rate things in my second year.
Funny how I've heard so many fans say this, my shirt came off and I ended face planting on my kitchen floor
17th in the league. This clown should try tetris instead of football.
Totally inept manager only being able to win against inferior competition.
Celtic against poor scottish sides.
A rich PL club against poorer European sides.
Oh, so impressive.
Against similar teams. Lost 21 out of 37. Over 50% loss ratio. Laughable. An inferior coach that will go down as one of the worst in PL history.

Read the room mate. I don't disagree with some of the things you say but right now I think people just want to enjoy the feel good atmosphere around the club. And rightly so. It's been a long wait.
Still at it?
Keep fighting your fight.whoever you are fighting it for, I hope they are grateful because your dedication is admirable
It’s just not reflecting real life. I would say most people are conflicted who I have spoken to. It is very complicated. If I was a betting man I think he stays and then is sacked in November when we are still shit. Just because I can’t see levy letting him go now and risking the next bloke being shit. It’s much easier for him to wait and sack him then when will inevitably be mid table or worst
You are the definition of embarrassing.
Your comebacks are as shite as your football opinions and knowledge.
You're the Jake Paul of Spurs fandom.
He’s right- and you’re again reaching, twisting yourself in logical knots in an attempt to save face in a chat room. It’s very ironic that you are guilty of nearly every rhetorical sin you accuse others of.
It is not a crime to try and keep things in perspective. We would have gotten absolutely thrashed in CL this year. We got absolutely thrashed in the league this year. We got squarely beaten in the domestic cups. We were not competitive in domestic cups or the league. The EL was massively easier a comp than any of our domestics or CL.
What exactly is difficult to understand about that?
Fair enough, I really don't want to take the joy away from anyone. But I also feel I'm not the only one feeling this way.
It's great that we won, but some are trying to make this win about them being right about Ange, while in reality, he has an unacceptable loss %. I'll not accept their narrative. However, it's beautiful to have won something after being so close so many times. Especially as so many so called experts want to shit on our club, saying that we're serial losers who will never win anything.
What are you talking about, do you even know that the debate is?
