Tottenham Hotspur 2025 Europa League Winners !!!!!!!

Oh sorry!
My plans to get on a train today and explore beyond Bilbao kind of went a bit awry and I’ve just been soaking up the sunshine and beer and wine so am probably missing some of the nuances in posts. Apologies.
Bilbao is a lovely place. Went to a music festival there a few years back. And strangely, the organisers of the festival had it so we got our wristbands in the Bilbao Stadium.
 
Totally moot of course, but I wonder if Harry would have swapped a Bundesliga winner’s medal for this?

I think he would have, he'll never be more than just another player at bayern, a great player in a succession of great players granted.
Here he would have been a fudging legend.
Same with Bale, hated at RM with how many CL medals, one of those here and we'd be building statues of him.
 
Chatting amongst us at the game last night and I was saying I don’t think there is any sport that has the same emotional connection and camaraderie (and of course the opposite in terms of competitiveness and animosity) that comes with football. You just can’t explain it to anyone who doesn’t follow the sport.

Was explaining to an american once, how it goes beyond sport. Celtic/rangers protestant/catholic. Lazio/roma facists/communists. Barca/madrid cstalan/spanish... Some of these rivalries have been there long before football. Football just focused it.
 
Anyone else keep getting…erm…overly emotional when they watch the post-match celebrations? I even cried when listening to the View From the Lane podcast on the walk home from work. 😂
All day, messages from mates, a piece on the news, something posted here and I'm off blubbing again. My best mate who I used to go to Spurs with died 3 years ago this summer so there's a tinge of wishing he'd been here for this.
I'd forgotten what it's like to win something proper, yeah the league cup win was great but this just feels so much bigger and more important.
 
We're not. Think they changed it with the new format. Atalanta were pot 2, which fits with them having the 16th best coefficient.
What pot you are in doesn’t make much difference these days. As you have to play 2 teams from each pot anyway. Then knockouts are based on league finish.
