"Ange seems like a decent bloke but I’m still pissed they won a big trophy. Man United having the worst season of all time is funny tho 😂😂 Is it a “big” trophy though or just a money spinner to get more games in a season and revenue from screening them" The UEFA cup/Europa League has always been a big trophy. The only people who think it's not support teams who never win any european trophies *cough* Arsenal *cough* | |||

"Personally I think Ange should leave. Better on his own accord tbh. But finishing a place above the relegation zone is seriously seriously dire. The team isn’t good enough to compete in the UCL under Ange, they didn’t challenge for anything domestically and they have shipped goals and points to some of the league’s worst this season. Go out on a high. The project hasn’t been great. " One thing that's almost certain is Ange isn't leaving of his own accord. If he does, he waves goodbye to about £10m for breaking the contract early. In all honesty he probably should have been sacked months ago, but it's difficult for Levy to do it now. I think they'll do Ange like Man Utd did with Ten Hag, where they give him enough rope to hang himself and then make the change. | |||

Tuchel also didn’t last long, the new owners wanted him gone. Agree they should’ve sacked Ange months ago but after the Jose situation before the league cup final, no chance he makes that mistake twice. Though I do think any top coach that takes the spurs job wins the Europa given the standard of teams they faced. Hard to sack him now but even harder for Levy to get away with not spending properly like he usually gets away with. | |||

I think top clubs that spurs have been amongst, the ‘top 6’🤢, would’ve taken a top 4 finish over finishing 17th regardless of the trophy. I think certainly Chelsea, Liverpool, United, City would have taken a better league position but perhaps the fact they’ve won European trophies recently is a factor? Arsenal for example haven’t and they’re the only other of that group that I reckon would be ok with a 17th and Europa finish. | |||

Arsenal for example haven’t and they’re the only other of that group that I reckon would be ok with a 17th and Europa finish. It’s also hard to measure the development and sustainability of your project and success if you finish 17th in the league but win a trophy if you’re a ‘top’ side. The worry immediately becomes, if we don’t invest and improve significantly, very quickly, then we’re actually taking a step backwards rather than forward. " Watching them 2 teams their league position dont lie the game was what I expected from 2 poor teams the goal summed it up scrappy and neither had much idea or class. | |||

I think the trouble is, winning the champions league is significantly more difficult than Europa or the league or fa cup so it becomes unlikely you’ll win that one, especially without significant investment. Then it becomes about securing the qualification for it again, only a top 5 finish can secure that. So how far away from the top 5 are you next season? What will it take for you to get there in one season? And that’s the difference I think between where a club like Aston Villa or Newcastle are currently at and after where your Arsenals, Citys and Liverpools are at. They’re expecting to play UCL football every year, not just European football. And the league position it’s important to that. Winning the Europa league is great but I think they’re more interested in showing progress towards a league title and a UCL title. And the Europa league does, unfortunately, mean less to you when you’ve already won the UCL. For example, Liverpool and city likely won’t care who wins the Europa because it’s not a competition the believe they should be competing in. And that’s why I think it is about context. A top side, as spurs have been branded (top 6 side) is not satisfied with 17th and a trophy compared to say… Palace or West Ham. | |||

"Yes, it’s been a shit season for Spurs, it’s been awful to watch. A dire team playing awful football. Did we deserve the trophy? Probably not but I loved the win and as a lifelong spurs fan I celebrated and will continue to celebrate this much needed success. People can talk about how bad we’ve been, whether we deserved it or how awful the final was. It doesn’t matter, we won, name on the trophy. Job done " This 💯 The records will show that Spurs won and that’s it. I’m a Liverpool fan and people are saying it’s been the worst Premiership and we’ve been awful, blah blah blah. Our name is on the trophy and we are 12 points clear from 2nd place - it’s not our fault teams haven’t stepped up to challenge 🤷🏻♂️ Well done all the teams who have won cups this year 🎉🥳 K | |||

"Say you're an Arsenal fan without saying you're an Arsenal fan 😂" Let's be honest, who in their right mind would publicly admit to being an Arsenil supporter ![]() | |||
