You've come a long way, Mauricio. It's been a long five years.

But you've taken us with you. And, somewhere along the way, you started pushing us - single-handedly propelling us forward on your big, broad shoulders.

Never giving up. Never letting anything stop you dreaming, stop you believing in us and what we could do.

I said what I had to say about Mate Jesus after the quarter-final.

Not a word has changed, and nothing more need be added. If we had lost today, not a word would have changed, and nothing more would have needed to be added.

So here's to you, Mauricio Pochettino, you beautiful, beautiful man.

Tottenham loves you more than you will know.

If we win it, is he our greatest ever manager?

No, one cup alone is not enough.

Under Nicholson we won the league, three FA cups, 2 league cups, a European Cup Winners Cup and a UEFA Cup. Apart from FA Cups that's half the trophies in our history. Another little known fact is that if you did a cumulative league table from when he became manager in 1958 to when he finished in 1974 we finish top. He won more points over 15 seasons in a period when the other managers included Busby, Shankly, Ramsay, Mercer and Revie.

So I don't think it is denigrating Pochettino's achievements to say he has a bit more to do, With the increased importance of the league his run of high positions (our best ever?) will count for more in the final evaluation, but he's got to stay and surpass Burkinshaw first.
 
Anyone else spot the hand gesture he gave the reporter who asked the HK question at the end of the press conference!!!! :D

The main difference is Nicholson was not fighting money doping clubs

- Spurs today, right fudging now and for the last 4 years are way exceeding expectations across every level. And even with that, our own fans bitch, complain, talk about bottling and how we "need to" do whatever for some unknown validation requirement.

Can you imagine the level of expectation if Spurs won the CL, started the new season in stadium and bought one 60M player? Asshats everywhere will be "Spurs should be winning the league, after all, last season we won CL with half a squad an no new signings". So from that point of view I completely understand Poch.

City, United, Chelsea have literally spent billions over the last decade. Pool was around our level then bought VVD, Allison & Kieta (~200M) and their squad still has holes and despite this season to me is far behind City

Even if Spurs bought 2-3 top level players there is still a gap, it will take years of continued CL success, continued revenue growth and gradually improvement and investment in squad to close that gap.
 
It’s impossible to make a judgement on Poch right now. At the moment, I think he’s better than Jesus. And I’m just going to enjoy that and think about where I’d rank him in the coming months/years. These sorts of things need perspective and, like pretty much every other Tottenham fan, I have no perspective right now. Just pure joy.
 
I felt his interview last night was spiky in the end and with some reason, Poch and Spurs have been subject of some really negative press comments in weeks and months and the one chance they have to show respect for last night they ask stupid questions.
 
But why would you expect anything different yesterday?

I think we can thank the unparalleled skills of Ed Woodward for making this period much easier. Imagine the questions if he hadn't made a completely unnecessary early full-time appointment to please the baying hounds.

How many of the players involved last night haven't been written off by a significant chunk of our fan base or the media at some point?

Heroes indeed, that fighting spirit, decisiveness, we will not lie down, we will be brave. And wow how it paid off in the end.

How many of them were written off I the OMT in the first half against Ajax?
