    I wonder which one is the brains of the operation...

    That's why this season is so frustrating - this squad is tailor-made for Conte's 3-5-2 or 3-4-3.

    More coincidences and I just cannot fathom it boys. Aston Villa's last two matches of the season are against the EL finalists. What would be the odds against that at the start of the season?

    About the same as you or your better half posting anything remotely coherent.

    All we need is for Dominic to maintain his recent record against Man Utd and it could just be ours.

    His tradition was strongest, a cup in his second season so boys, does he stay or does he go? For me he stays. he gained us the CL so he deserves to manage us in it.

    Kane gets a trophy in his second season at Bayern and we get a trophy in his second season gone...............coincidence again. Love it. We lost our last match by two and they lost theirs by one and we beat them by the difference. Had to be.

    Should be interesting if we meet Bayern in The CL next season. Us against Harry. Bring it on.

    I might be a tad early asking this but how do you think we'll fare in The CL next season? What do we need in respect of players?

    I'm so happy for Son. He has been through a lot; a veteran on the squad. He's had a rough season. He finally gets to hoist a trophy!

    I'm happiest for Ange. I would think after this that his desirability has probably increased so if DL let's him go he'll land a plum position. Ange wins trophies and just because we had a bad season in the league doesn't mean to say we'll have another bad season next season. I've seen Spurs have bad seasons before but then recover strongly. Well done Ange and thank you.

    Good morning all. I hope we learn Ange's future as soon as possible. I hope we're all happy this morning, I know I am. So for those who'd like to see him gone, who would they like to see coach us in The CL next season? Thomas Frank of Brentford? Silva of Fulham? de Zerbi wherever he is now? We can't.

    I'm not sure. I would probably give him a few months in the new season and see what he does. Yes winning Europa League is fun but its not like he had the toughest competition along the way. Its not equivalent to playing the PL. Lucky for him he faced a really bad Man U side in the final.
    I think his first job is the do well in the PL. Do you see him doing that? I thought he has still a very tall task ahead of him as the PL is a very difficult league.

    I think Ange and Danny need to have a long talk. Ange needs to explain how he plans to do things differently next year to juggle the 4 competitions. And what he will do to improve a defense that let in a shocking number of goals. And then Danny needs to explain what he is going to do to provide the players needed to be competitive. Except for GK, we really need help everywhere on the pitch.

    Someone else mentioned it, but it’s the year of the “finally” - Palace, Newcastle and Tottenham, or as I think Ferdinand said on the telecast; the year of the birds, the eagles, the magpies and the cockerels.

    Utd scored freely in The EL and played some good football but we stopped them from scoring so perhaps it was Ange's tactics that made them look bad. For me Ange and the team came of age last night. Winning a major trophy in one of the hardest jobs in football is no mean effort and we'll have to let him show us what he can do in the CL. Now, Antonio Conte is managing Napoli who will also qualify for The CL next season. Spurs, Bayern, Napoli at our ground? Ooooh yes please and with Ange. You don't think Frankfurt was tough?

    Spurs won a cup the same year France won the then 5 nations rugby competition in The Chinese year of the cockerel which is the symbol of both teams. These coincidences happen a lot in sport.

    Keeping him would be pure madness. He only adapted his tactics (after saying he would NEVER, EVER change) because he knew if he didn't, he would get the sack. The man is a fraud.

    He has poor judgment on players. Daniel offered him Eze, and he turned him down because he felt Werner was a better player. Just for that he should be sacked.

    He can't handle multiple competitions.

    Eddie Howe won the Carabao Cup and has Newcastle in a CL position, with the same number of injuries that Ange had to deal with.

    Arnie Slot won the league and got to a cup final.

    Glasner won the FA Cup and has Palace 11 points above us in the table.

    Last season, Ange made 9 changes for a League Cup game at Fulham and we went out.

    At this level, you have to be able to challenge for cups AND compete in the league. 17th is unacceptable for a club our size.

    Thanks for the cup, but please get the hell out of our club and take your shit coaches with you.

    Kalo taxidi!

    We also did it in 1921 and 1981 (FA Cup)
