So the scum have even more Euro trophies than us.

[PSRB]

I remember being at school and we lost in the first round of the big cup competition and were entered into the Plate competition.

We won it.

We were having our moment, with the big wooden plate with the shiny engraved metal shields on, when our teacher told us to stop celebrating because the only reason were we in the compeition is because we were losers. Or First of the Worst as he put it.

He had a point tbf.

It started at the back end of the AW years, I always thought we were better off in the Europa League as never thought we'd win the CL . IF were in the EL now (without the CL dropdown) I'd view it as a failure not to win it.

Arteta hasn't given me hope.

If you think we've been close to winning the league recently you're fooling yourself.

Last season we lost out by two points having only dropped 4 points in the last 17/18 games. You don't think that's close?

[PSRB]

Some absolute drivel. Basically saying you lot are happy just to be competing again. We can win the so called sh*t trophies and be competitive as well in the CL and Prem. Tottenham a few years back were probably 2nd best team in quality for a few seasons but won nothing. Guarantee at this point Spurs fans don't even acknowledge that fact anymore but they will remember yesterday for most their life's. Trophies matter. We need to win some soon. Our performances for the last few years are simply not good enough.

spurs opponents:
Qarabag
Ferencvaros
Elfsborg
Hoffenheim
Alkmaar
Frankfurt
Bodo/Glimt
Man United

As I said, you'd be embarrassed if you didn't win it

Absolutely.

And if Chelsea don't win the third-rate one next week, that is a monumental failure.

Bodo/Glimt.

In the semi final.

Shipped 5, to 1 scored.

The other semi-finalists shipped 7 to 1 against another equally ****e English team.

Strength of the competition innit - no doubt followed by "you can only beat those in front of you"

You remember being at school?

Certain things stick with you, la.

Like overbearing, bullying PE teachers telling you not to enjoy your victories. That sort of thing.

That and a particulrly nasty teacher leaning back on his chair in assembly and falling off the back of the stage

The rest? A largely forgettable comprehensive experience.

Firstly, the change stopping CL teams dropping down to the EL has been great for the EL. Those years we got 2 semis and a final we lost to teams down from the CL.

BUT that would be great if the strength in depth of the PL wasn't so much more than the other big European leagues. It really could lead to all English finals for a while. You'd expect any PL team other than the relegated 3 to beat all those teams Sperz played en route to the final. Hope the Eagles win it next year.

However, ignoring that, we'd have loved to have won the EL those 3 years we came close. And of our FA Cup wins, does anyone remember the years we won playing mainly non-top flight teams, or without leaving London? Did we care when we won the final?

I just hope we've had all our injury bad luck in one go, and we have an injury free season next year, with Odin et al getting back to their very best and beyond.

That early goal vs PSG was a killer. A few inches either way and they wouldn't have scored and we could have gone on with the crowd buzzing and growing in strength. We also had enough chances to still turned 'round the tie. B scores that tap in at 3-1 down on aggregate and we could well have pushed on for an equalizer and ET.

We did all of that without either of our strikers, our two first choice LCHs, Wigwam banned for the first leg and literally no-one to bring off the bench unless we needed a few more LBs.

I guess the plus side of last night is that ManU can't offer CL football

I can remember responding to a mouthy Spurs fan by betting a tenner that we would win the title at Anfield in 89.

He didn't pay up

No idea why, but I just knew we were going to do it.

We have a summer to make sure our players are properly prepared for the season, physically. Hopefully we have learned a lesson and will avoid some of the many muscular injuries we have had.

However...... as I have said before, the problem this season was not the injuries. The two strikers getting injured at the same time was very unfortunate but our form before that was poor. And when we get injuries, we have to be able to cope with them better.

I hope (and expect) that Arteta has learned a few things from this season. We have a great chance of being champions next year.
