Spurs winning the Europa sets the stage for more Spurs mockery next season.

1) they have to keep Big Ange now and he really has no clue how to compete in the Premier League.

2) They might squeeze into the knockout round in the CL because there's a fair number of poor sides from smaller leagues in there and they might get a favorable pool. I would say, however, that the smart money would be on a disaster.

3) this gives Spurs a chance to make a splash in the transfer market, but can Ange alter his tactics to play to the strengths of the new signings? Definitely not. He'll be throwing the new boys under the bus by November.

Rest easy, the schadenfreude will be just as frequent next season as last.
