Match We can be heroes part two Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester united UEFA Cup final. Bilbao 21st May

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Their win rate in the prem is the disgrace. Think it might be in the twenty odd percent mark?

They're utter shite. The fact they've spanked Bilbao 7-1, beat Lyon and beat Sociedad says a lot about the middle tier of Europe's leagues.

Incredibly beatable team, for us. It's a total shit/clown off in this final. Both teams are objectively crap.
Shouldn't be hard on ourselves. We navigated through europa league to get to a final. 99 per cent of other clubs would like to be in a final. Fuck the outside noise. Just need to win. Would like us to play the way we did when we beat them 3 nil at old Trafford.

We should, this team is dreadful. 17th in the premier league. Utterly ineffective against our peers. Secured a few wins against the dross of Europe and that has presented us with a wonderful opportunity to beat another really crap team who have also beaten some of the dross of Europe.

This lot are abysmal and they're meant to have played some of the best teams in the competition - incl the favourites in Bilbao.
 


Hairy cunt!

Yeah, spot on.
Fuck the outside noise.
We finished 5th last season in PL. This season made the semi final of Carabao cup and have now reached the final of EL. All the doubters said we couldn't make it, yet here we are.

Let everyone else focus on the doom and gloom.
 
They still have their most creative player available in Bruno, while we have no Madders and Deki’s form remains a question assuming he’s even fit. Thankfully, and fingers crossed for the Villa match, we have our first choice defenders available and hopefully our central midfield 2 will keep the clamps on Bruno.

I think it’s going to be an edgy one that’ll go down to the wire.
 
I see that United are slight favourites with the bookies, seems about right to me.

No Bergvall is a massive loss for us, he has that bit of mongrel in him that you need in big games. Also no Maddison and Kulusevski is not 100% fit either. We probably go into the game with an unproven number 10. Tel, Bentancur and Odobert have some experience playing there but it's a big ask to step up in a final to do it.

Porro will become so important to create something from the back.

Particularly as Bergvall bossed Casemiro the last time we played them
