Fucking hell, Ange speaks well. I'm 65 and welling up here.

"What you, the players and staff, have gone through this year..." ... has been because of you, Ange, yes. lol

Anyway, lovely seeing the boys all celebrating and happy.

They've been hung out to dry for a long time and deserve some payback from the game.

Also lmao at Vic at the end there looking like he's off to the Blue Oyster Bar. 😂
 
Got to say i didn't think the pitch was any trouble for us.

I thought it was clear that we purposefully played differently. We went long instead of passing out through midfield to avoid mistakes. We played percentage football and made it a snoozefest in the first half very deliberately.

If we had passed out from the back willy nilly it would have caused us trouble. The ball stuck at random moments and we focussed on kicking it high into their corners as a tactic.
 
Right I'm saying it. I'm drunk and I'm happy but don't put Roberts who would play on a broken leg in the same sentence as this bloke. He's saying all the right things now and weirdly he doing them..when? When there's no place else to go.

Suddenly the last three games he's become an arch pragmatist. WHERE was this when we could have saved the league season? Beating after beating he was full bloody Jihadi zero reason, one mad excuse after another watching the same thing fail over and over, record numbers of defeats. Shameful London derbies.

My Mrs said at one point "This man has sabotaged himself. He doesn't even know why but I think he has imposter syndrome" I think she was right because suddenly he sees the value in running down the clock, dropping back a bit, grinding out a result. Simply refusing to lose if you can not win. It's in sane he's insane. It was all so fucking preventable.
I’ve said it before, but I think the players are running the Europa games. I wish Ange no ill as the media pressure breaks managers, I will thank him for his time but it’s time to go. We now have a prestigious final of a trophy where we are going for the hat trick, which will be our fourth European trophy that we will win.
And btw, you had me at ‘I’m drunk.’ 💙

Our football resembles something like a more athletic Dyche Burnley right now. Today was Solanke + athleticism + Porro set pieces vs their tactical organization and set pieces. Our athleticism was far superior to their and mostly snuffed them out.

They are a poor side. You can only beat what’s in front of you, but I’m still shocked Lazio couldn’t dispatch them. Champo level stuff from Bodo.
 
“I’ve been in this game a long time - I’ve experienced it all”

Scottish cup final, Scottish league cup final, Japan league and cup campaign, don’t forget the Australian league and cups.

3 Australian caps? Experienced it all mate.

Signing Timo Werner twice? COUGH
Ange hasn’t even accomplished splitting points with our rivals across a whole season, much less any of the bigger rewards. He seems not to have much of a sense for how this sounds among a crowd that simply know better.
 
The sun is shining out of my ass!

Wonderful! Thank you! Great job!

Congratulations Tottenham Hotspur FC!

I’m camping at the moment. The wife wondered why I chose a particular spot last night.
I didn’t tell her that it was so I had phone reception and could checkthe score. :ange-arms:
