It’s one of those big ifs, but I wonder where Spurs would be now if they had won the CL final?

Feel they would be flying in the league (with Poch still in charge of course). They’d all be winners..Kane, Son and co. Poch’s project would have had the ultimate reward.

Conversely I think it would have ruined Klopp and the RS to come away with nothing after 97 points and back to back CL final defeats. That would have been the knock out blow. They weren’t coming back from that.

That one 90 minute game of football was transformative unlike any other I can remember, especially when you look at the direction of the two clubs involved since then.

Regards José, he’s just got old. Managers have a sell by date, and he’s reached his.

I was convinced that he'd follow the pattern of going close in the league and then leaving in the following year or two, like Evans, Houllier, Benitez and Rodgers before him.

Winning that Champions League really did galvanise them, though. The momentum is only just starting to slow.
 
I do feel some sympathy for Spurs fans and to be honest there not even my favourite north London side as there biggest rivals have given us Charlie George and Michael Thomas but all that aside there fans have been sold down the river.
They had arguable the best young manager in the country who put together a team just about ready for the final push for the title but when the manager needed him most The money men sat on there hands and hoped Pitch could do it on the cheap.
The result is what you saw tonight,Potch is gone replaced by a man whos best days are long gone and a squad of players that needs tearing apart and starting from scratch .

Cheers fella.

I wasn't in the Mourinho camp before he joined but Que Sera Sera.

With no Kane, Son, Sissoko, Bergwijn, Sanchez or Davies he had very limited options.

We had a kid on the bench that no-one had ever heard of.

A lot of the problem is Levy's own doing by not buying a back up striker or even keeping Llorente on the books.

Still, I have seen much worse than this over the years.

i will be at the Man U game. I'm old school, I laugh in the face of coronavirus. Might even be able to spread myself out a bit for my pizza and popcorn. Not all bad.
 

If you were one of the currently fit Spurs players now would you really want to play for Mourinho? He constantly just basically says they aren't any good:https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...rn-tall-order-tottenham-jose-mourinho-leipzig

“With the squad we have at the moment it is going to be very, very difficult,” Mourinho said. “Our problems are not going to disappear tomorrow. We will fight until the end.

“In the Premier League we don’t have results where we have no chance to fight for the points. We lost 3-2, 2‑1, 1-0, we had draws, so it’s not like we can’t fight. We are not going to recover any players for Sunday but at least we have a little period, four days, so at least from a physical point we can react.”

Spurs were without Steven Bergwijn, Ben Davies, Harry Kane, Davinson Sánchez, Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min against Leipzig. “We have lots of problems and it’s really difficult,” Mourinho said. “I was positive yesterday but that’s the way I have to be. The reality is a different thing. One team is much stronger. Of course it was difficult and Leipzig clearly deserve to get to the quarter-finals. Every team in the world would struggle with five or six of their most important players missing. It’s as simple as that.

“All the players on the Leipzig bench would play at this moment in my team.”

Dele Alli felt that last season’s beaten finalists showed the wrong mentality. “If you don’t step up, you’re going to be punished,” the Spurs forward said. “We had to show maturity and fight, and we didn’t do that. We have to apologise to the fans who came out here.”

Still a mystery.

Why was a clearly unfit Kane given a start and the in form Moura left on the benvh.

They have never recovered from that defeat.

Their one chance to win the big one, and they did that.

Must have been a big ask for the rest of the squad to forgive Pochettino.
