People moaning about the way we won last night, firstly I couldn't give a fuck , in a 1 off game all that matters is getting over the line, however when we are missing Maddison, Kulu and Bergvail what are we actually meant to do ?

Any way who gives a fuck, we got the cup!!!! :ange-arms:

No true spurs fan gives a fuck how we won it.
Because we fucking won it!!!

I think I heard we made about 100 passes in the whole match. That’s hilarious.
And a goal that is going to be replayed for ever was like something from Sunday league!

It’s the New Spursy.
It’s brilliant!!
 
I must get round to telling you of our day out in Oxford, it was ace and I'll put in elsewhere on this site,

Followed the game on text and got back to our pub in Kent on the 85 minute.
2 guys sat in the corner watching it on their phone so I joined them for the closing minutes and celebrated accordingly.

Great day, so proud.
 
Dunno who said it but the crucial thing here for all the naysayers is that this is the 3rd most prestigious trophy to win in football (in Europe at least).
League winners and CL winners are obviously the Holy grail.
So fuck anyone who attempts to belittle this win for us.
As much as I love the FA cup and always will, this trophy should be a springboard to great things.
Whether Levy understands this is a different matter (& I won’t hold my breath) but surely even Levy must have woken up this morning feeling on top of the world. It’s a feeling that money can’t buy. Maybe he can catch the winning bug and stop being so risk averse.

I felt confident yesterday but had creeping suspicion that the old Tottenham angel of death would creep over us. Especially after going 1-0 up.

As Brian Fantana Brian Fantana said (great post by the way) 2019 killed me football wise and it has been hard, watching the downfall of the Poch area and languishing limply from manager to manager. I couldn't watch the extra time last night and had my wife shout the minute countdown to me in the kitchen as I paced back and forth, tears already welling but I constantly clawed them back through fear of jinxing the last bit of the game.

That didn't happen and I fell to my knees genuinely unable to contain the release from within and even sobbed at one point. 17 years of genuine pain and struggle and this is what it is all about.

I told my 5 year old to go to school and tell everyone that Spurs are champions, let them hear it and tell them again.

Enjoy it everyone, don't let anyone try to undermine it. We are champions.

Up the Spurs.

Cheers Monkey. I just thought we'd win, I couldnt contemplate defeat this time. I posted in the run up to the game that I was confident. Yesterday all day was unbelievable anxiety, tried not to waver and I still thought we'd do it. It just felt like our time. I have criticised the manager a lot but after seeing how he can motivate players for big games, I just thought he would be able to do it for this one. The fans in Bilbao and in the stadium were brilliant. The players would have seen that.
 
Some good company.

Tottenham moved level with Liverpool as the most successful English side in the Uefa Cup, which was rebranded to become the Europa League in 2009.
Both clubs have won the competition three times - Tottenham in 1972, 1984 and 2025, and Liverpool in 1973, 1976 and 2001.
Inter Milan, Juventus and Atletico Madrid have also won the Uefa Cup/Europa League three times.
Only Sevilla have won it more, standing alone with seven titles - between 2006 and 2023.

Pinched my arm twice on the journey home last night. It was a very strange evening all round.

The car journey to Enfield went like a dream - virtually no traffic.
The train came within 3 minutes.
The crowd outside the stadium before the game was AMAZING - singing, flares, booze, joy all round.
The game was shit.
The crowd was BRILLIANT.
We won. 😲
Pitch invasion - quite a refined one.
The return train came within 3 minutes.
The return train journey was weird - we got SEATS.
The return car journey was even quieter than the journey up.

All in all a vary unusual experience. Almost like The Football Gods were wafting us along.

Agree. I would say in order of greatness its

CL, League, Uefa cup. So realistically speaking, its the biggest trophy we can win baring a miracle.

With the current format, we won't get another Seville scenario.
I wonder how many of those 7 wins came when they were knocked down from the CL?
Qualifying for the Europa league is trickier than ever now. You can't win it as that is champions league. So realistically, a team could only ever win the Europa league every other season now.
