Guardian: "Yet again, Postecoglou won in his second season at a club. For the first time since 2008, Spurs got their hands on a trophy."
"Man City, Liverpool, and Man Utd losing finalists in cup competitions all in the same season. Am I dreaming? And their victors Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Spurs between them ending a combined trophy drought of 250 years - who could have predicted that at the start of the season? Absolutely thrilled for all their fans." -- Aniyha, Guardian reader in comments on final premier week of 2024/5.

What a goal-line clearance by Spurs defender Van de Ven to stop ManUre from equalizing.

Pre-match
Evr1, an online poster to BBC Football replied in a recent comments section: "If Spurs win, in the press conference, Ange should walk in, put the Cup on the desk and say the trophy speaks for itself, then just walk out. Job done." Okay, good 'un, we'll see. The gaffer might add: "And so does keeping this football club from being relegated, mate. I saved you a few quid. And, while we're at it, I bloody got you into the Champions league!"
A Guardian article by David Hynter was headlined: "Postecoglou adamant work at Spurs is not done but sounds resigned to his fate."
But hey, let's not forget, media stop a minute, this is about our club, this is Tottenham Hotspur with a chance to a win a CUP! Less of the Ange wind-up.
And Manchester United are just as bad as us and so we have this shiny golden opportunity.
"Just imagine the atmosphere at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if Tottenham lose (the final). Postecoglou walking out, I suspect he might not be in charge if he loses the final as that will be as toxic as anything." -- Chris Sutton [BBC Football]

Europa Lge. Quarter Final
Holy smokes. Did this club need a performance and result like this? Abso-bloody-lutely! Thru the quarterfinals we merrily went and into the Semi's. Brilliant.
Given who the semi-final opponents we face are (no disrespect, the Norwegian club was impressive dealing with Lazio): Bodo/Glimt provide Spurs the plum opportunity to be one of the Finalists.
Second leg: To Dare is to Do. To Not Do is to Die. Or something. Whatever, Spurs did it.
Drawing at home 1:1 in the first leg left the Lilywhites with a daunting task in Frankfurt on a rainy Thursday in Germany. Spurs did it. A win away at Eintracht. Tottenham fans worldwide tuned in to catch this one and we're still buzzing, probably until the Forest game at least.
Switching topics here. The value of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium includes the name itself. "In regards to naming rights, in Spurs' most recent accounts/annual statement, they found that having the stadium named after the club was actually more valuable to the brand than getting a sponsor for the stadium. I guess when Beyonce or whoever else posts about playing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, that gives you a name recognition boost to those outside the football world." -- zo7034, poster on YT channel The Long Play.

Post Match: Holy smokes this was everything we hoped it would be under Tottenham Hotspur's Australian gaffer Ange Postecoglou, and indeed more than a wild dream. It happened! Incredible stuff from our keeper Vicario, performing near miracles, to the lads at the back, thru the midfield, and upfront. Vicario, Kulusevski, and two goal Madders arguably men of the match.

Meanwhile Man City seem to be affected by something and it could have a lot to do with their potential relegation regarding their alleged financial capers and the players wondering why bother when this all could count for nothing for us? Highlights.
Sky Sports: "Pep Guardiola suffered a fifth straight defeat for the first time in his managerial career as Manchester City's crisis deepened following an incredible 4-0 home defeat by Tottenham."
BBC Football: "It is City's worst home defeat since a 5-1 loss to Tottenham's north London rivals Arsenal in 2003."

Reactions coming in. Before the match both Tottenham and Ipswich fans seemed convinced that Spurs would score four goals with the only question being if Ipswich would score 1 or 2 goals.
That only meant one thing: Spurs would struggle, completely lost at the back, meandering aimlessly around in the midfield, and the front end ghosting the underemployed Town keeper. Spurs would of course start the game like they had no idea what they were doing or where they were, concede a goal (twice in this case), burst briefly into action to attempt a bounce back, and ultimately fall flat on their faces (against a side that hadn't won a league game all season), which the home boys dutifully did. Truly lame.
Spurs are now back to losing ways, stumbling at Galatasaray and now at home to unfancied Ipswich. Ipswich. Ipswich. Ipswich. Ipswich. It was Ipswich. Ipswich. Ipswich. Ipswich. Ipswich. "Ipswich Town are a goin' down, allelujah!" Right?
