"Can we put the 'spursy' tag to bed now finally? I think this team has done more than enough to show grit, resolve and determination. " god no... the only thing keeping me going is that 5-0 humping klopp is going to give them, and THAT would be the most spursy thing that could happen.....
in fact, this is the only thing that could happen that would bring harmony to arsenal, chelsea and west ham fans.....
the only place rooting for liverpool harder than liverpool fans is going to be 95% of london!!!  | |||

Stone the flamin crows!!
Lucas Mooooooooooooooura !!! x3
I been saying it all along Spurs in the final of CL. Many had written them off including their own fans with all the doubts creeping in... but the time is now!! Never stop believing... right to the final whistle. Omg !!
Another English miracle !! What a night... this is absolutely mental. I am going to have to go to London and spend some time with Spurs club for old times sake 
We have so much to cover including the posts from previous thread... "Spursy" as OP mentioned again... Poch... team, but for now...
Woooooooohooooooooo !!
Whoop! Whoop!
Incredible
Guess what...
Kane went in at half time like the leader he is and gave them a "pep" talk... he said:
2nd half... you have nothing to lose and give it your best shot...
Next thing...
Gooooooooooaaaaaaaaal
And
Gooooooooooaaaaaaaaal
And
Gooooooooooaaaaaaaaal
Btw wait till I come back in here!!
The final:
Liverpool V Tottenham
No you're not dreaming...
Liverpool V Tottenham
Brb !! | |||

"So... High drama in both semi finals but now we have an all English Champions league final between Liverpool and Tottenham... " This sets up the first all English Champions League final since we Manchester United defeated Chelsea on penalties in 2008!! We know the feeling
Liverpool being dominate in Europe know the feeling and Klopp has unfinished business from last year...
But this is Tottenham now!!
Take it all in Spurs fans. Look at the emotions from Poch... the tears... what it means... football is a family!! Wow just wow!! | |||

Dead and buried in the group stages, quater finals and half time in the semi finals.
So so proud of them "Oh you will develop new nerves now... wait till the final
Just as you have posted and as the OP said going through the hard route... that is why it is such a huge achievement... teams go through CL campaigns... but...
Spurs are on an adventure !! They are taking their fans that have been waiting for years all the way to the final !!
You have got to be proud. Love it and milk it | |||

An all English double final is great and what many wanted... well actually the country is divided! Here is the real history made now:
This is the first time ever four teams from the same nation reach two European finals in same season.
#Domination
Get behind it folks... some still can't though and the extreme "tribal element" is still active'ish.
Quick note on Arsenal:
Congrats on another hat-trick treat! They have the real incentive of winning with CL as the prize... Emery has experience and knows how to win this trophy. Chelsea are extremely poor with many problems, but with Hazard/Loftus-Cheek and a few others not easy to rule them out. Plus Arsenal can flop on their own... with all that in mind my prediction is...
Arsenal to win!
Back to the main story Spurs next... | |||

Poch:
Double/triple verified. I always do that with any major news on and off Fab. From my time working at the club and keeping in touch with friends/contacts... he was not joking or mind games and has repeated. There are several things going on behind the scenes. Not the time to go into it right now, but he could depart win or lose... let's hope not because the "stability" at Spurs will be gone with him...
One man team:
For those that were thinking without Kane they are nothing... totally the opposite because they perform better! Tottenham is much more then that right now. We knew that from the starter threads discussions. As for Son... not the decider on this occasion because Lucas takes the Superhero title and the match ball, but without him it would have been a different story. Son is the type of player where his presence alone makes a major impact...
"Spursy" tag:
This is self inflicted due to poor decisions and lack of ambition over the years... not believing... settling for top 4 etc so many Spurs fans still don't mind if team does not win anything... Poch wants major trophies... he has the mindset of winning... Spurs don't win anything for reasons mentioned and many other things...
The World is watching now. Spurs have felt what they never knew existed or could be possible... more fans are converting to actually believing in their team... as someone that knows the club well I have repeatedly said the time is now! This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity because may never happen again. Poch agrees.
Expect the unexpected...
The real magic happens when you keep on believing even when all others have written you off... L'pool do that well over and over again in Europe! Cheeky fuckers
If you dare to dream... dream big! Miracles happen all around us...
Will expand on the "once in a lifetime opportunity" another time. The weekend is fast approaching! Will there be one final twist!? Or are the City fans going to come back with something to cheer about!? Super Sunday !! | |||

"Arsenal's Henrikh Mkhitaryan wont be able to play in the EL final in Baku, Azerbaijan as he comes from Armenia and they dont qualify for visas due to the hostilities between the 2 countries!" Yeah it was only a matter of time till we see "politics" in here! We pretty much cover everything else in these threads, but this is such a shame. As sports fans we want to see the best competing for the titles. Like with everything else football is not immune to politics! They are looking into Visa requirements/status and good news is UEFA will assist. There is a route for him to make it and play... so let's see how this goes. | |||

The roles are reversed here because ideally L'pool needed the Premier League and City the CL... but all L'pool can do is beat a tough Wolves team hungry to break into top 6 next season... and hope City slip up...
I can't see City dropping points, but if that happened... oooooft will be unbearable for those fans. If L'pool don't win it looking at 30 years!! That is shocking because they are the best team to never win it... all the way to Steven Gerrard days because this is all he/they wanted... the ultimate domestic prize...
So much is at stake tomorrow and to play for... while it is fun with amazing entertainment value for the rest of us with no opportunity of a trophy win... it is going to be a real emotional rollercoaster for the ones that come close. Man Utd only team in top 6 to not be in a chance for trophy this season...
Not only that we used to be known for super subs. These days Spurs/City/L'pool all have them! | |||

"UEFA are a bunch of robbing cunts, £513 for a ticket is an absolute joke " It's exploiting to the max!! Taking advantage of fans and the demand. Maximum profit and all that. The flights/hotels... all commercial and in cahoots! Mental
Not fair/ideal, but until there isn't a crack down/regulation on price hikes this is how it's always been. They know fans will do whatever they can to be there so bumping up to over 800% in some cases! Shocking 
Madrid is local, but Baku though... wtf why there!? Like Klopp said what were they thinking/thought process to choose a location that far for a European final. Not only that... giving Arsenal/Chelsea total 12,000 seats...
That is madness! Stadium will be empty because it is huge! Improvements need to be made on how these finals are handled in future. | |||

Are City the greatest ever PL team? "They're not the greatest PL team yet, they do seem to have the foundations in place to be hugely successful into the future though. Liverpool had their time, same with utd. Arsenal and Chelsea, footy has always been cyclical. It's city's turn...... | |||

Liverpool had their time, same with utd. Arsenal and Chelsea, footy has always been cyclical. It's city's turn......" Not even close to be the greatest yet. I agree the foundations are in place and footy is definitely cyclical... well it used to be much more. Now trophies are being shared among different teams. For City to have the status and be ranked the "greatest" as teams before them did they have to dominate... I reckon this will be decided in the next 3 seasons. My guess is City will win only 1 of the next 3. This is due to other teams "waking up" Tottenham as a club will have a major decision to make soon... depending on how that goes they could win 1. Chelsea/Arsenal are out of it for now. L'pool have been knocking on the door for so long it's only a matter of time... I think they will finally get 1. On top of that: Poch/Klopp/Pep... these are World class managers that need major trophies. Keeping the focus on City for now in relation to the question... Pep has tried for CL... it ain't working. He has full power/control at City so he is happy for now, but as soon as a blip happens again... there will be "disruption" to the flow. Managers these days don't tend to stick around long term if the trophies are not coming in. City can't grow globally without the CL. Guess what though... None of those are the possible/major stumbling blocks compared to the following issue: Raheem Sterling... United fan that is why he can't/doesn't score when playing us
Onto Man Utd:
I am going to try to keep this as realistic as possible... we were the greatest. Still the biggest most recognised club in the World. You can go to parts of the planet where they don't have TV's to watch football, but you will see fans/supporters wearing our logo... our global reach is still strong.
Having said that the past is the past as they say... so depending on blips or possible manager changes with other teams we could win 1. (Don't laugh hear me out folks ) Change is coming at United... we have gone through a few managers... things have been tested and didn't work/match... now we have one of our own... Ole!
Roy Keane said it best... top doesn't mean in the top 6, 4 or 2nd... top only means one thing... number 1. Ole has the same mindset and knowing how United work the time has started for the comeback. It ain't gonna be simple/easy, but we never forget:
Theatre of Dreams

Could the following happen...
City lose 4-0
L'pool draw 4-4
If that did happen it will be a first ever title play off! Because all the stats between them will be equal! Could it... nah... bit much that... surely!? If it did I would say L'pool would take the title
Still saying City to lift the trophy by beating Brighton. It's job done for Pep on this one. | |||

Couldn't agree more about United's global branding, they've got the right man to do that.
Personally I think he needs a counterpart to handle the football side, those decisions don't seem to be his forte.
As for Chelsea, I fear for the next two seasons.
Two season transfer ban while our closest competitors strengthen their squads.
A manager who seems inflexible in his tactics and team selection.
A couple of our better players coming to the end of their careers.
Seemingly little faith in our highly talented youth. Apparently we have 50+ players out on loan.
And worst of all, by the looks of it, our most prized asset about to sold for what looks like peanuts compared to players of his talent.
Troubling times ahead....  | |||

Some of those out on loan will be coming back especially with the bans still in place. Yikes!
Not only that the new stadium has been in the pipeline for a while. Costs/budget issues/concerns so that is still up in the air!
Hazard unfortunately for Chelsea has to go now otherwise he could miss his opportunity. A talent like that needs to push limits and test his ability against other top rivals...
Despite all of the problems:
Could still finish 3rd today and 4th ain't a bad result considering the circumstances. Plus in the final for Europa so you never know... CL is guaranteed for next season.
Every team has something to play for though... it could just be pride! We got our own problems today... #NeilWarnock
He is such a great character and has been amazing manager for many different teams over the years. I enjoy watching the way he fights for his team, but now he wants to come to "Theatre of Dreams" and go out in style!!
I almost forgot...
@LJ - West Ham could finish in top 10 if they beat a tough Watford side. That would be a great result! Do you agree on that?
Alright, footy fans enjoy your day. No matter who you support, wherever you are keep smiling and remember... before you know it next season is here and it's all kicking off again.
Whoop! Whoop!

90mins equals 2 million!! That's right 2 extra mill for finishing 10th instead of 11th. Only missed out on 9th to Leicester because they had higher goal difference. West Ham won their last 3 games to finish season on a high. A few other teams changed table positions up/down towards end of season... huge amounts of money just for kicking a ball. The World has gone mad
West Ham along with other teams from mid table will be looking to move up the ranks in future seasons... could this be the beginning of the end for the top 6... 
Who knows!? Because the rule book has been thrown out. Imagine future generations seeing different teams representing us in the CL/Europa... blimey! | |||

He bleeds United, so definitely the type of passionate manager they need, one who understands the club inside and out. I'm just not sure he has the experience. Fingers crossed for him. As for Sarri, next season could be a real test for him. Hazard on the way out and no chance of any new players coming in. Despite Higuin I still think we're light up from and have been for a few seasons. We need another Hasselbaink, Drogba or Costa to terrorise defences. At least we have Pulisic in the squad now, a talent but untested in the PL. Maybe now our younger players will get regular game time. Unless Sarri believes what that idiot Hansen said; "you'll never win anything with kids". Assuming of course we can keep them anyway. Hudson Odoi wanted by Bayern. Loftus Cheek demanding more game time. Two incredible talents who are unsettled and would be snapped up by another club in a heartbeat. I don't know how City managed to keep their CL situation under wraps for so long. I says a lot for the way the club's run that they did for so long.... Its a funny old game Saint. | |||

In my view this is the importance of or priority level for each trophy:
1) CL
2) Premier League
3) FA Cup
That is the reason why Liverpool without even winning the league have such a significant global following... the CL! The day they figure out winning domestically... flipping heck that will be one of the biggest football stories because the media is chomping at the bit! 1 point... 1 point... !!
Will get back to L'pool/Klopp and Spurs/Poch after weekend. As for City they should easily win, but Watford are a decent side and looking to make their own history... | |||

As sports fans we want to see the best competing for the titles. Like with everything else football is not immune to politics!

Had to feel for Watford because they tried, but coming up against a goal scoring machine was never going to be easy.
Final words for Kompany... great captain/leader. Lovely speech and "mic drop" moment...
However, saying "City is best team in the World without winning CL" er nah... that is why he is not equal to Roy Keane
He should have stayed one more year and helped them because it's only going to get more difficult going forward... | |||

Villa is a stronger team and I think they will win it, but anything can happen... all we know is the bluenose contingent is rooting for Derby to come with a good ass whooping | |||

City were on for the quadruple, but Spurs downgraded that to domestic treble instead... I know I know how dare they! *ahem*
Man Utd... have won triple Premier League trophies consecutively... twice! Yep 1999, 2000 and 01. Then 2007, 2008 and 09 that is what City are up against to be named the "greatest" can go on and on, but looking forward to the rivalries in future seasons. City have an opportunity next season to make it triple victories....
Scottish news!!
Celtic!!
Domestic Treble Treble!! That is insane. 9 consecutive victories. Blimey, Scotland loves to break records and make their own history. Wow those fans are loving it. | |||

Check out Adam Richman from Man vs Food
I used to watch that back in the day and have food challenges amongst friends haha all clubs have their share of celebrity fans, but this particular one does have an amazing story behind it...
The link shows when he visited the Lane! Funny and emotional. Passionate. This is football!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PvkmBfEGw9U
Thanks for the reminding me about him G. I am going to try to find a suitable link for CL on another fan and share it here.
Enjoy! | |||

Will be great to see 5 teams having a crack at CL. There is no doubt the top European teams are feeling hurt and will come back stronger. We need to keep the momentum going...
Will post on "momentum" and Spurs another time because that is linked! | |||

"Aston Villa are back!! It's party time for them. Jack Grealish he could have been a Tottenham player... the links/talks are still ongoing. He should be representing us in the World Cup for future if all goes well. Villa are a big club and suitable/belong in the Premier League. Next season is going to be more competitive with teams pushing for higher rankings... "I’m not a Villa fan but I’m happy to see them back.

"Would love to see Arsenal win and qualify for champions league.Think they have the best striking partnership in premier league(can’t spell their names ) But need to strengthen midfield and defence." Not long now to find out! The build up has been tense for this final. Unai Emery is the main man for this as a manager. This could be the 4th time he wins it. Let's see if the players perform on the pitch. It all depends which Arsenal turns up... | |||

Certainly mixes things up and love to see challenge/contenders. Aston Villa is in the top 10 table for all time played/points record. | |||

"Had to be Giroud " Yeah, was a good header! 5 goals in 2nd half. Sarri has got his 1st trophy, but Arsenal were not there in 2nd half...
Hazard is quality, but will be a loss as he confirmed it's "goodbye". Was rooting for the Gunners to blaze into CL... they just didn't have the hunger/desire. Missed 2 easy opportunities. Why the heck was Ozil walking off slowly!? Disappointing performance.
Congrats to Chelsea and well deserved. Is Sarri safe/staying? How he managed to do what he did we will never know... as Stingly said even he doesn't know sometimes | |||

Got to feel for the Arsenal fans... paid so much money, huge defeat and have a long journey home! It's all upto Tottenham now... No pressure hey! "We will go and enjoy the occasion, play how we play and see what happens in those 90 minutes. Pressure to win, not for us from the fans or the press, let’s just to play our best.

He might be “fit” to play but not match fit. Start the team that got us there and have him come on second half, fresh legs and run at Pool.

My opinion on Kane is exactly the same as what you said
It's a shame the club didn't believe in him enough to back him over the years like Klopp/Pep have enjoyed. That is why what Poch has done is magic! I mentioned I will expand on this:
"Once in a lifetime opportunity"
I am not a Spurs fan, but know the club well due to my time working there. We all saw the emotions especially from Poch. He knows what he had to do with limited options. Not being able to bring in players. He absolutely loves Spurs!
However...
Just like any other World class manager he has made it clear having an amazing stadium means nothing without trophies. He has the winning mindset, the club didn't over the years... so who will win the negotiations/planning after the final... club or Poch... only time will tell.
The club has to back him. Take advantage of this momentum plus with other clubs failing going/getting weaker (Arsenal, Chelsea and my team Man Utd ) now is the time to take the next step... if Poch wants this, that and other other thing let him have it! I personally want to see what he can really do. Give him more power and freedom to express himself so we can all enjoy the results... well not all football fans due to rivalry... *ahem* | |||

Poch has a winning formula and won't go after players for the sake of getting a big name either- he'll assess their worth to the team as team players not as individuals.

"Just a quick one to Spurs fans, how do you feel about the stats that say your better when Kane doesn't play. Correct or would he be in your side every time because he offers more than goals ?" I think stats are easily skewed to read how you want to be honest - it's arguable that without his goals we wouldn't be anywhere near the Top 4 season in/out as we have been since he emerged into the team. Would I start him Saturday? I'm with SC on this and would probably have him on the bench to come on second half and change things up if needed - but have every faith in Poch making the right decision for the good of the team. | |||

Could they do the double... stopped City and now Liverpool... it's going to be a fun weekend unless Klopp has other ideas... he really does not want to be known as the runner up king. This would have been much more straight forward for them if it was not Spurs in the final...
Oh and another thing on Spurs:
You know how they never win anything... well what a way to start filling the "trophy cabinet" by winning the biggest prize of all...
Champions League Trophy !!
This is exciting stuff you know. | |||

Totally agree Poch will be more "sensible" with the financials. That is the key in terms of having a good manager/club "fit" he just fits! The fans love him, players respect him! What more could you want from a man that wants to fill the trophy cabinet. Give him the keys and the spare keys as backup. Do whatever it takes to keep him... | |||
