Spurs Thread | 2025/26

First thing I thought of when I heard he'd been hauled off at 3-0.
Saw the highlights and goals one and three made Our Martyn look positively brilliant.

Erased from memory until now

He's the new goalkeeping coach at Spurs.

They should never have been in the Champions league in the first place. There were much more deserving teams than the winners of that spurs / rags final.
Having just avoided relegation, they should just have concentrated on the PL and nothing else.
The rags have moved up the table, solely on the benefits in having no CL and no domestic cup commitments.

Of course they should be in the Champions League. The winners of the Europa League qualify for the Champions League every season. Do you think it should be left to April/May and then the rules changed because the finalists are doing particularly well in their domestic league?

So sad to see the demise of such a “ big club” as Spurs hahahahahahaha

I don't think any winner of that competition should qualify for champions league.
It should not be a stepping stone to another competition.

Makes the Title “Champions League” a misnomer though doesn’t it, along with the fact you don’t have to be champions to qualify dilutes the integrity of this money making sham.

Behave, they'll still be one of the 'Big 6' next season.




That's the Big 6 in The Championship playoff positions that is.

You surely don't believe the rags are where they are by accident ?

Masters still earning his bribe money.................for the time being !

Exactly - another bloody fuck up by UEFA in order to increase their income stream.

Greedy and corrupt cunts.

Of course. But I'm not disputing any of that. I'm saying that the rule is that the Europa League winners qualify for the next season's Champions League, Tottenham won it last year, so under the rules, of course they should be in it.

No, but they do. So it's the rule you have a problem with rather than the rule applying to Tottenham.

Yes, the rule itself.

Puts teams under extra pressure for a competition that they are not really geared up for.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Sadly there’s not much chance Spurs will go down. Unfortunately Wolves, Burnley, Forest and West Ham are even more shit.

The bastards will escape again, get a half-decent manager and end up mid table next season, probably taking at least 4 points off us yet again.

West Ham and Forest are both better

 

[Ste68]

West Ham and Forest are both better

Both of these are showing signs of improvement - thought forest were unlucky against Liverpool the other week - just lack a forward, West Ham are used to the battle so hopefully will edge past spurs but agree are a better side. I am fairly confident Spurs will go.

 

[malg]

The manager is a **** but you can’t plan for shocking errors like the keeper made last night. He probably is a half decent keeper but made a career full of mistakes in fifteen minutes, still nice to see these wankers struggling

Can't believe the fucking media hysteria about it. He deserved to be hooked. He probably could have met him when he came off and said - had to do it son. However when I seen some of the headlights I thought he'd hooked him and gave him his P45 on the way off.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Jeez, I've witnessed some rough games and seasons following City but who'd be Spurs fan these days.

 

[BlueNomad]

What???!!!

It increases the prestige of the Europa League and literally creates “free prize money” for the tournament by guaranteeing the club Champions League money for the next season.

If anything, it’s genius branding for a second tier tournament that helps elevate the winner.

Personally, I think once the Champions League stopped being just respective league winners, it was a great idea to promote (and sell!) the Europa League, by dangling a €50M prize of CL football for teams, many of whom have zero chance of winning their respective country’s league.

 

[East Level 2]

They didn’t though, they failed to win 22 of their 42 games, and only sneaked 3rd place on goal difference from Brighton.

Cheers. I remember them beating Bristol Rovers 9-0 and thought they'd had had lots of other good results during the season.

Correct. Winning it should get them another go at the same competition the following season as the ECWC used to do.
However, the Europa League isn't usually glamourous so UEFA have to give a greater incentive for the teams involved to take it seriously.
