I tell that to my wife but to be honest I usually fall asleep.
What do we do now?

I can’t remember who it was but one of u ****s said it. “It’s better to have been there than not at all”. Y e we could have played better, yes the starting line up should have been different but ffs we were in a CL Final. I certainly didn’t think we would have gotten there. Don’t get me wrong I’m fucked of with Poch and the team, but I still love th club.

Am also 30 and like you have never seen Spurs win anything meaningful.
I fear that in years to come we will look back on this as our big opportunity missed - ultimately we didn't turn up on the night and this is something that many of the players will regret for the rest of their lives, particularly Sissoko - who I feel sorry for.

I see a lot of comments here people saying that if we spend like liverpool and plug the gaps, we will be great. There is no guaranetee, if we did spend which is questionable under levy, that those players will be as good as pools or better.
This club has always tried to play catch up and follow other teams since i have been a spursfan. For years, we tried to emulate wenger model but havent quite achieved it (no trophies, no leagues). We need to spend like crazy every year or come up something new ourselves which other teams will want to emulate. following gets you know where but innovation does.
I think this was our big moment and i dont think we will get another like this again for years, if at all.
North london owners care about business first, football second. Those northern clubs want to win trophies first, business second.
We will look back on this with great sadness but at the same time with some fondness.

We had EVERY right to be in that final! We beat City at home, then went on to score 3 at the Etihad, we then beat Ajax in their own yard! Sounds like deserving finalists to me! You're just repeating the media/pundit/scouser bollocks!!! It's time we demanded more from our players, it's time we demanded succes when the opportunity arises!!

Nah, it still doesn't hurt any less this morning.
The Pen changed the way the game was played, at least for Liverpool, it made it far easier for them, I wouldn't mind but they hardly cut us open time and again, they were able to let the game be played in front of them, and we fucking helped them do it.
Too many players were not at the level we have come to expect, we did create, but ultimately it wasn't good enough.
We had enough talent on that pitch last night to over turn being 1-0 after half time and fuck me did we huff and puff.
Now the usual hoohaa of the summer and the TW and people will throw their toys out of the pram when we don't do the business they want. Fucking hell this club.

We didn't get to the final 'too early', we got there because we deserved to be there!!

We need to spend money to compete with the big boys. If we don't , this will probably be as good as it gets.

Living in North Wales, believe me losing to Liverpool is my worst nightmare and is unbearable.

Or at least effective churn. There are players who we should have shipped out some time ago.
More ins and outs are required this summer than is ideal (small changes definitely preferable) and there’s a lot of execution risk.
Needs to be a big summer or we risk a weak season and a disaffected squad - your point is well made: the team needs major fresh blood

It's pretty obvious, you add a monster RB - AWB, and two plays like Ndombele and Lo Celso to this team and you have a team that can push Liverpool and City, all 50m plus players. But it needs to be done. We can't pussy foot around with 4 x 20m signings etc. We need to go big and have the likes of Dele put under serious pressure and get Trippier as far away from our defense as possible.
Those 3 players alone would improve us no end. Meaning the next Summer we would only really need to start looking at one top top class signing and really putting this team together.
This summer is key. We need to spend circa 200m, if Levy doesn't see this then what's the point of building the stadium or having a manager like Poch if you're going to be a bargain basement team attempting to mix it with Waitrose and Whole Foods? I don't want to celebrate the odd victory against a top 4 team, i want the team, Poch, Kane etc to win things, they deserve to be at the top. Onwards and upwards.

We do need at least 4 first teamers of quality in this window. If that equates to a big net spend then so be it, but imo it doesn't matter if we recover some or even most of that through sales. Getting them in is all that matters and al II really care about tbh.
"Net spend" is just a tool the media use to create stories that aren't really there.
