  20.  &lt;p&gt;No surprise!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="dn37L5"&gt;By all accounts Ange Postecoglou was in an excellent mood &lt;a href="http://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/every-word-postecoglou-said-son-31612531"&gt;at his press conference today&lt;/a&gt; ahead of tomorrow’s Premier League home match against Crystal Palace. And why shouldn’t he be! He’s riding a wave of good vibes after Thursday’s win at Bodø/Glimt that sent Spurs to their second European cup final in six years, against &lt;a href="https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com"&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; in Bilbao&lt;/p&gt;
  21. &lt;p id="d3eUbZ"&gt;But before that match on May 21 there are two Premier League fixtures — tomorrow vs. Palace and the rescheduled match against &lt;a href="https://7500toholte.sbnation.com"&gt;Aston Villa&lt;/a&gt; next Friday that got Villa fans so worked up. Obviously, with Spurs currently in 16th and likely headed for their worst table finish in their Premier League history, the most important thing is to manage player minutes for the Europa League final, something that Postecoglou said could be a tricky balancing act.&lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p id="Blkfgk"&gt;Ange pointed especially to Cuti Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Destiny Udogie, and said minutes, fitness, and the plastic pitch in Bodø all make it likely neither of them will play tomorrow at the &lt;a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com"&gt;Tottenham Hotspur&lt;/a&gt; Stadium.&lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  24. &lt;p id="VvyKQi"&gt;“It’s a challenging one, but we’ve tried to navigate that for the last sort of couple of months. I think particularly Micky and Romero and Destiny to a certain extent because they’ve missed a huge chunk of the season and you always know when guys come back you’ve got to really manage them because Romero’s and Mickey’s season, they had a couple of setbacks after coming back and we just didn’t want to go down that path. We’ve changed our structures and our processes so that when they come back, we keep them back.&lt;/p&gt;
  25. &lt;p id="tuwxI9"&gt;“We’ve done that really well, I think the last two or three months, but part of that has just been managing their minutes so it will be a balancing act. I think they need to get obviously some game time between now and then, which where that happens, look, unlikely tomorrow because I think what we do know about Thursday night, playing on an artificial pitch takes a lot out of the players, it’s fair to say they were sore.&lt;/p&gt;
  26. &lt;p id="lO4ZDP"&gt;“I remember when we played Tamworth, we actually got a couple of injuries in the game straight after that, I think, because of the surface. So we’ve got to be really careful about tomorrow’s game, but next Friday it’s a bit different. I think we’ve just got to make decisions we think [are right], ultimately we want to be in a great condition come the final of Europa, so we’ll use that.”&lt;/p&gt;
  27. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  28. &lt;p id="F4B53H"&gt;No surprise, really. With just four days between Bodø/Glimt and Palace it was always likely Spurs would run out Kevin Danso, Ben Davies, and Djed Spence for this one. But Ange did say he’s hopeful he can give club captain Son Heung-Min a few minutes against Palace. &lt;/p&gt;
  29. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="D19U8i"&gt;“Yeah there’s no [fresh injuries], everyone got through OK the other night. Half hopeful that we get Sonny some minutes tomorrow so he’ll be the only one that sort of can come back in.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  30. &lt;p id="xaPvf9"&gt;The news isn’t as good for Lucas Bergvall. Postecoglou revealed that he’s not that far away from returning to the side, but the Europa League final will come two weeks to soon for him to participate.&lt;/p&gt;
  31. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="ZhdK6Q"&gt;“Yeah, that is unlikely. If we had another two weeks, potentially he could. I am sure he will be trying, I am sure Madders will be trying mate just to get the strip on. Unfortunate for both of those guys, but that has been our season. Nothing has run smooth. I am sure there will be parts of themselves really disappointed they are not part of this most important part, but they have been so integral to us getting here. As I mentioned after the game, I don’t think there is a single player in the dressing room who hasn’t contributed to help us get to where we have got to today and should we have success, we’ll make sure they get acknowledged in the right way.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  32. &lt;p id="29jYFk"&gt;Ange was asked about Yves Bissouma, who thanks to injuries to James Maddison and Lucas Bergvall has come back into the starting XI and has put in some very good performances. Bissouma has been in and out of the team, but after Thursday’s win had suggested to reporters that the whole team, including chairman Daniel Levy, would be singing on the flight back to London. Ange was then asked whether he and Levy were singing together, and the gaffer talked about how he had a conversation a while ago with Bissouma that kept his spirits up.&lt;/p&gt;
  33. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  34. &lt;p id="Um69up"&gt;“He is a different cat, Yves. Fair to say. I love him though because he has had his own issues this year. I spoke to him about a month ago. He was in and out of the team. I just had a feeling in my gut. I said: ‘Biss, we are going to need you at the crucial time. I don’t know when that is going to be but we are going to need you and if we get the best Biss we can do something special.’&lt;/p&gt;
  35. &lt;p id="tTbRoT"&gt;“He has delivered. Through that time he never put his head down and complained. He knew that he could be doing better and he wanted to push on. So I’m really proud of him and the way he has handled everything this year.&lt;/p&gt;
  36. &lt;p id="L5hKDg"&gt;“But yes, there was no belting of tunes. It’s fair to say me and the chairman probably have different playlists mate. So don’t see him banging away to AC/DC.”&lt;/p&gt;
  37. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  38. &lt;p id="UD3k47"&gt;The final will be Tottenham’s 60th match of the season, which is a fairly insane number&lt;/p&gt;
  39. &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p id="iaN7yF"&gt;“Ah, five press conferences in six days (laughs). And that is why I was saying before, I know people are trying to separate the two but there is cause and effect there. We have had a ridiculous injury-riddled season coupled by the fact we’ve done really well in two competitions and that is 60 games. So, it has felt and certainly for me personally it has felt like a really, really long season, but you just get energy and realise what happened the other night and you’re so close to achieving something special that it all dissipates into the background, so you get the energy you need. Even in my career, I’ve been fortunate to have a fair bit of success but I know the key to that is when the opportunities comes along, you take them because you don’t know when they will come around again. The opportunity we have that is all you need to keep the energy levels up, not just for me but the staff, the players, everyone feels the same way.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
  40. &lt;p id="4XWK05"&gt;Tottenham kick off against Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium tomorrow at 9:15 a.m.&lt;/p&gt;

  60.  &lt;p id="7yRMTV"&gt;Are y’all still flying high from Thursday’s big win in Norway? I know I still am. Feels great to know Tottenham Hotspur are back in a European final after six years and have another chance to crack that trophy hoo-doo. We won’t think about the fact that it might not happen... again.&lt;/p&gt;
  61. &lt;p id="tEyhZM"&gt;But before that happens, we have Premier League football to think about. Today there’s again no early match, but still five matches for you to enjoy including the late game, which could be a fun one.&lt;/p&gt;

  86.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  87.  
  88.  &lt;p&gt;Two clubs meet with eyes on more important contests.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="ECBmN9"&gt;Plenty of teams have little to play for in May, as title/top four/relegation races are often settled before the final couple matchweeks. &lt;a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com"&gt;Tottenham Hotspur&lt;/a&gt; is not a stranger to this concept, but right now is quite strange territory, with a laughable league position contrasted with a spot in a European final.&lt;/p&gt;
  89. &lt;p id="9G6LLh"&gt;Look, as the author of 50-some previews this year, it is not in my interest to tell anyone to skip through this weekend’s fixture against Crystal Palace...but I am also not convinced that every single person in the Spurs atmosphere — from the players and staff to the lukewarmest of supporters — is not singularly focused on Bilbao. Two to go til then.&lt;/p&gt;
  90. &lt;h3 id="E0xYBl"&gt;Tottenham Hotspur (16th, 37pts) vs. Crystal Palace (12th, 46pts)&lt;/h3&gt;
  91. &lt;p id="q1ETiR"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date&lt;/strong&gt;: Sunday, May 11&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time&lt;/strong&gt;: 9:15 am ET, 2:15 pm UK&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location&lt;/strong&gt;: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TV&lt;/strong&gt;: Peacock (US)&lt;/p&gt;
  92. &lt;p id="KyPKK8"&gt;I genuinely think Palace is the most consistent team in the league. Since earning promotion in 2013, the Eagles have finished between 10th and 15th every single season and are essentially assured to place right in that middle of that range once again. A -4 goal difference is extremely fitting for this club that is the definition of midtable.&lt;/p&gt;
  93. &lt;p id="5j1rJq"&gt;Tottenham, of course, is looking up at its neighbor in the table. A 1-0 reverse fixture was a drab affair at Selhurst Park in October, with a relatively fit starting XI generating just 0.7 xG with three shots on target. This very well could be the case again on Sunday, though the team sheet should look drastically different.&lt;/p&gt;
  94. &lt;h3 id="nZisku"&gt;Weekly spotlight: This or that&lt;/h3&gt;
  95. &lt;p id="K5bHNX"&gt;How different the team looks comes down to when Ange Postecoglou wants to give his first-choice selections some minutes ahead of the Europa League final. There is an argument to be made to play them Sunday and give them a week and a half to rest after that, but I think the better choice is to instead give some players limited minutes on Friday against Villa to stay fresh.&lt;/p&gt;
  96. &lt;p id="xVaYYA"&gt;That would mean once again unloading the bench this weekend. Mikey Moore started last time against Palace, and he, Wilson Odobert, and Mathys Tel are definitely the most exciting players to watch. The Eagles are average defensively, but have allowed just three goals in their past four, including an impressive 3-0 win over Villa to reach the FA Cup final. With their focus also straying towards the future, maybe there will be a chance for the second-team attackers to find some excitement over the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;

  108.    <title>BBC: Tottenham to shake up backroom structure, in talks with Fabio Paratici</title>
  109.    <content type="html">  
  110.

  112.      &lt;img alt="Tottenham Hotspur v Eintracht Frankfurt: Group D - UEFA Champions League" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ia1dP7YayM1EZr6hAonBo1FgZsw=/0x0:3765x2510/1310x873/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/74074274/1243916365.0.jpg" /&gt;

  114.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  115.  
  116.  &lt;p&gt;Nobody’s quite sure what that means yet, but we can take a guess!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="CZF0Jh"&gt;A few weeks ago news broke that &lt;a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com"&gt;Tottenham Hotspur&lt;/a&gt; were appointing former Arsenal CEO Vinai Venkatesham as Chief Football Executive beginning this summer. Along with that announcement came rumors that Venkatesham’s appointment likely would mean the departure of Scott Munn from his role as Chief Football Officer and perhaps also that of Technical Director Johan Lange, but we haven’t gotten any confirmation. &lt;/p&gt;
  117. &lt;p id="cFOWh5"&gt;Well, we still don’t have confirmation, but today we do have some intriguing new nuggets of information, courtesy of the BBC’s Sami Mockbel. Sami writes that regardless of what happens in the upcoming Europa League final, &lt;a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c771lp46vmko"&gt;there will be some significant changes to the organizational structure at the club&lt;/a&gt; that may (or may not) include the head coach.&lt;/p&gt;
  118. &lt;p id="2YsU6N"&gt;The biggest, and yet still unsurprising, nugget is that the club is currently in talks with former Director of Football Fabio Paratici to return to the club in a leadership capacity. Talks are ongoing and are not finalized, but Don Fabio’s suspension from world football for his role in the PRISMA and &lt;em&gt;plusvalenza&lt;/em&gt; scandals at &lt;a href="https://www.blackwhitereadallover.com"&gt;Juventus&lt;/a&gt; is due to expire in July, which could result in his return to Spurs. &lt;/p&gt;
  119. &lt;p id="d4kyLu"&gt;Intriguingly, Mockbel puts forth the possibility that Paratici would return in a more generalized role somewhat equivalent to the position currently held by Munn, and that Lange would continue to take a lead role in identifying and acquiring talent. Venkatesham, meanwhile, would oversee all operations and make sure things are running smoothly top to bottom, while reporting to chairmain Daniel Levy.&lt;/p&gt;
  120. &lt;p id="3kqhLK"&gt;There is, of course, talk about Ange Postecoglou’s current position, and that if (a big if at this point!) he is not retained, Spurs are considering candidates like Andoni Iraola, Marco Silva, Oliver Glasner, and Thomas Frank. Frank is apparently preferred by Lange, though it’s not clear who would take the lead in finding Postecoglou’s potential replacement.&lt;/p&gt;
  121. &lt;p id="o44UiF"&gt;It’s an interesting shakeup. Under this plan, it would appear Venkatesham, a highly respected football executive who is credited for the way he ran Arsenal, would keep everything in line. One would assume that Lange would lead Spurs’ team of data nerds while Paratici’s extensive football contacts would take the lead in negotiations for player acquisitions and sales. In this way, Paratici’s role is a little closer to the one he had at Juventus. This would also be a pretty strong indication that Scott Munn is the odd man out.&lt;/p&gt;
  122. &lt;p id="nLim9S"&gt;Could it work? I mean, who knows! But putting control of the football ops under a proven executive like Venkatesham makes me think it probably would. The dichotomy of styles between Lange and Paratici is a bit odd — the Black Box vs. the Scattergun — but it could be a really fruitful and collaborative partnership.&lt;/p&gt;
  123. &lt;p id="DRyacB"&gt;What’s clear is that Spurs think whatever they’re doing now isn’t really working, and that another shakeup is needed. In a weird season where Spurs could finish 16th in the Premier League and still win a major European trophy (and qualification for &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league"&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt; next season), it could be that shifting around the deck chairs and making a couple of key changes is the magic potion that makes the entire backroom click going forward.&lt;/p&gt;

  148. &lt;p id="Uvi42b"&gt;All accounts I’ve been reading about The Sphere offer glowing reviews, both of the [drums/] space and the music produced by the band. Looking at their setlists, this second run feels like it’ll hold a special place in the troupe’s history.&lt;/p&gt;
  149. &lt;div id="pJP991"&gt;

  154.  
  155. &lt;/div&gt;
  156. &lt;p id="CeEZix"&gt;We’re always chasing one song or another when we go to a Dead show. And there are a few I’d like to hear: &lt;em&gt;El Paso, Dark Star, The Other One&lt;/em&gt; and so many more. Of course, a Bob Dylan cover is always welcome.&lt;/p&gt;
  157. &lt;p id="pIr1IY"&gt;I’ve got a feeling we’ll be getting a &lt;em&gt;Black Muddy River &lt;/em&gt;encore, since that song was played on three of the four Dead shows I was lucky enough to go to.&lt;/p&gt;
  158. &lt;p id="vRdVYN"&gt;Anyways, your hoddler-in-chief will report back next week on his Vegas experience and on all things the Sphere.&lt;/p&gt;

  182.  
  183.  &lt;p&gt;This guy gets it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="HXxSIx"&gt;OK, I’m on a bit of an Ange Postecoglou love-fest tonight. What can I say, &lt;a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com"&gt;Tottenham Hotspur&lt;/a&gt; won a huge match today, are in another European cup final, and I’m flying high. But I think it’s important to listen to the guy when things are going well, and not just focus on the negatives.&lt;/p&gt;
  184. &lt;p id="nbWVQz"&gt;Yes, there have been plenty of negatives, and those shouldn’t be discounted. But one thing I’ve always appreciated about Postecoglou during his two years at the club is that he, perhaps more than any other Spurs manager I’ve seen since I started following this stupid club in 2007, really and truly GETS what it means to be a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur.&lt;/p&gt;
  185. &lt;p id="rAIGKz"&gt;Some of that comes through with how he deals with the English press. There’s a game of sorts that reporters play with football managers in press conferences. The rules are unspoken, but we all know what they are — reporters ask leading or irritating questions to try and provoke a reaction, after which a narrative can be created, or furthered, or changed.&lt;/p&gt;
  186. &lt;p id="FQZacz"&gt;Ange knows the game, he just doesn’t play according to the rules. &lt;a href="https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/every-word-postecoglou-said-after-31602645"&gt;That came through in tonight’s press conference&lt;/a&gt; in Norway after the 2-0 win over Bodø/Glimt that sent Spurs to the Europa League finals on May 21. A reporter started to ask Ange a question about the importance of the upcoming final to &lt;a href="https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com"&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; in the context of what has also been a disappointing league season.&lt;/p&gt;
  187. &lt;p id="g7FLEg"&gt;Ange, being Ange, didn’t want to hear it, and dismissed the premise of the question, while also giving one of the best defenses of the club explanations of what it means to be a Spurs fan I’ve ever heard from a Tottenham manager.&lt;/p&gt;
  188. &lt;p id="ndAuYG"&gt;Here’s the full exchange.&lt;/p&gt;
  189. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  190. &lt;p id="WL15Hu"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;United have constantly said that this competition won’t save their season. The manager has said it, the players have said it. Would it save Tottenham’s season or is it different?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  191. &lt;p id="eoycBN"&gt;“Why do I care what Man United think? Why is that relevant to me? Ask the Manchester United manager why he said that. Me, I’ve said all along that this is important.”&lt;/p&gt;
  192. &lt;p id="NvDl3w"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To rephrase, what does it mean for Tottenham’s season?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  193. &lt;p id="ZKGgtR"&gt;“Well, to be fair, you know better than me. You’ve followed this club for longer than I have. What do you think a trophy would do for this club?”&lt;/p&gt;
  194. &lt;p id="GfpeID"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I think it would be massive.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  195. &lt;p id="7TXXL2"&gt;“Exactly. That’s exactly right. So the question answers itself, it doesn’t need me to... but what’s happening now is people are fearing that. That it actually might happen and let’s see how we can tear it down somehow and diminish it somehow by saying it’s been a poor season and we don’t deserve this or we don’t deserve that.&lt;/p&gt;
  196. &lt;p id="veeUad"&gt;“Or somehow comparing us to Man United. Maybe if we had Man United’s success then maybe I’d have a different view. But I came into this role, you know better than me, I could have been sitting here at exactly the same time in fifth position and I can guarantee that the commentary around me ‘well that’s great Ange but this club needs to win something’.&lt;/p&gt;
  197. &lt;p id="GiXuj4"&gt;“That’s exactly what everyone would be saying. So of course it’s massive. Of course it is, because you have to frame it against what this club has been through over the last 15 or 20 years and what the supporters have been through.&lt;/p&gt;
  198. &lt;p id="FvMjX1"&gt;“Man United have got their own journey to go on. Maybe if they go 15 years without winning something they’ll change their perspective on things as well.”&lt;/p&gt;
  199. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  200. &lt;p id="WuOk2E"&gt;I know I keep asking you to watch videos tonight, but honestly — this exchange is even better hearing him directly.&lt;/p&gt;
  201. &lt;div id="BtSXyf"&gt;
  202. &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" align="center"&gt;
  203. &lt;p lang="en" dir="ltr"&gt;"Why do I care what Man Utd think?!"  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ange Postecoglou wants to concentrate on his Spurs team, and their focus, ahead of the Europa League final  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/tntsports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@tntsports&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/discoveryplusUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;@discoveryplusUK&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="https://t.co/5YNY5J5f20"&gt;pic.twitter.com/5YNY5J5f20&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/footballontnt/status/1920595409950437700?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw"&gt;May 8, 2025&lt;/a&gt;

  205. &lt;script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  206.  
  207. &lt;/div&gt;
  208. &lt;p id="MaMAt0"&gt;Wow. WOW. That’s just fantastic. Utterly, utterly great. And you know what’s even better? Apparently the reporter in the exchange was none other than &lt;em&gt;our good buddy Matt Law!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  209. &lt;p id="nH4SfW"&gt;Outstanding.&lt;/p&gt;
  210. &lt;p id="gZk2yO"&gt;Elsewhere, Postecoglou did what he always does and praised his players for their resilience and performance in what was an incredible atmosphere at the Aspmyra Stadion in Norway.&lt;/p&gt;
  211. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  212. &lt;p id="8XviKV"&gt;“The players were outstanding. They were well-prepared tonight, the staff did a great job of making sure the boys were really clear about what we needed to do. They executed it perfectly. It’s been well-chronicled in the last few days it’s a difficult place to come through, they’ve got a really imposing home record, not just with wins but with goals, I thought the lads just handled it really well, as they have throughout this European campaign, particularly the knock-out stages, and credit to them, I thought they did an outstanding job.&lt;/p&gt;
  213. &lt;p id="3U8ORi"&gt;“[Reaching a European final], it’s a great opportunity. It’s my fourth year in European football, plenty of people have been in European football for longer than I have, they haven’t got to a final. So you understand it’s something that you need to appreciate. And I’ll certainly do that. I haven’t really thought a lot about it, because obviously the focus is on tonight. More importantly, just really pleased for the players and the staff, and particularly our supporters. There were a few hundred here tonight who I’m sure will remember this night. And thousands back home. We’ve given them some real hope and something to dream about, that we can do something special this year.”&lt;/p&gt;

  234.  
  235.  &lt;p&gt;Ange Postecoglou needs another year.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="kImQS5"&gt;This post is a little personal, but hey — it’s my blog, I get to be personal sometimes. It’s been a long, tough season. I’ve suffered along with every other Spurs fan as &lt;a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com"&gt;Tottenham&lt;/a&gt; has slipped from a club that we expect to finish in the top five or six in the Premier League table to one that will finish just above the relegation spots this season.&lt;/p&gt;
  236. &lt;p id="Gq8elS"&gt;But while I too have wavered a bit in my support for Ange Postecoglou as Spurs have continued to lose and slip down the table, I’ve never fully gone Ange-Out. Why? Because while the league campaign is unacceptable and regrettable, and despite a whole bunch of unsubstantiated ITK crap that suggested otherwise, Ange has never once lost the dressing room. His players have repeatedly and vociferously stated, again and again, that they believe in him and his methods, that they believe in the project, and that they back him to the hilt.&lt;/p&gt;
  237. &lt;p id="XTOmqR"&gt;I’ve never gone full Ange-Out because of the way he speaks. He’s forthright, clear, direct. And he’s unwavering in his support for the club and his players. He might needle the fans on occasion (especially the ones calling him a “fat fuck” from the stands or on social media) or get snippy with a reporter in press conferences, but I’ve never once thought that he, or the players, have given up.&lt;/p&gt;
  238. &lt;p id="5IyUB4"&gt;Today, after Spurs’ 0-2 win at Bodø/Glimt that sent them to the Europa League final, the club posted a video of Postecoglou speaking to the players in the Aspmyra Stadion changing room. I’ve embedded it below. You should watch it.&lt;/p&gt;
  239. &lt;p id="57v0Zc"&gt;To be fair, it’s a perfectly valid opinion to believe that Spurs need to make a change this summer no matter what happens on May 21 in Bilbao. That’s fine. There’s plenty of evidence to make an argument that he deserves to be let go for the diabolical league campaign. I may disagree with you and argue my point, but I’ll never say that people are stupid to have that opinion, or that it isn’t warranted. That said, this is a guy who has battled incredible hardships over the course of the season, including an injury crisis that’s unprecedented in my nearly 20 years as a fan, and has admitted it when things have been tough. &lt;/p&gt;
  240. &lt;p id="Zn7qdX"&gt;Take some time and watch the video below. Absorb what he’s saying, and listen to how he speaks to his players.&lt;/p&gt;
  241. &lt;p id="Wn5EF2"&gt;I think then you’ll understand why I’m still Ange-In. &lt;/p&gt;

  266.    &lt;/figure&gt;
  267.  
  268.  &lt;p&gt;SPURS ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE SAN MAMES!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p id="uX7B8p"&gt;Six years to the day after one of &lt;a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com"&gt;Tottenham Hotspur&lt;/a&gt;’s most dramatic European competition wins — the Miracle in Amsterdam that sent them to the &lt;a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league"&gt;Champions League&lt;/a&gt; final, Spurs qualified for their second European final of the Premier League era. Facing a Bodø/Glimt team that had lost only once in the Europa League, scoring 19 goals in the process, Spurs stodged up the match defensively, capitalized on two second half chances, and shut the Norwegian hosts out. Spurs got a goal from Dominic Solanke off a corner kick, and followed it up a few minutes later with a ridiculous blast off the post by Pedro Porro, and rolled to a 2-0 lead at the Aspmyra Stadion in northern Norway. &lt;/p&gt;
  269. &lt;p id="mNtdB0"&gt;The result gave Spurs a decisive 5-1 win over two legs, and punched their ticket to Bilbao, Spain where they will face a &lt;a href="https://thebusbybabe.sbnation.com"&gt;Manchester United&lt;/a&gt; team that they have already beaten three times this season. The final will take place on Wednesday, May 21 at Athletic Club’s San Mames Stadium. &lt;/p&gt;
  270. &lt;p id="p5RP4z"&gt;While Bodø is in the Arctic Circle, the weather was misty, wet, and relatively mild with calm winds, which played into Spurs’ hands. Facing an opponent that likes to break into space and catch opponents by surprise, Spurs instead sat deeper, let Bodø/Glimt have the ball, and mucked things up as best they could. Tottenham would’ve been quite content with a boring 0-0 draw; instead, they scored twice and took both their goals well.&lt;/p&gt;
  271. &lt;p id="CjeUy5"&gt;Here are my match reactions to another Glory, Glory Night in European competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  272. &lt;p id="cKYe6J"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  273. &lt;h2 id="1TwEFF"&gt;Match Reactions&lt;/h2&gt;
  274. &lt;ul&gt;
  275. &lt;li id="NVLym5"&gt;Y’ALL WE’RE IN THE FINALS OF THE EUROPA LEAGUE LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO&lt;/li&gt;
  276. &lt;li id="VAWsee"&gt;There was absolutely nothing surprising about the starting lineup — it was the same as they put out against B/G in London.&lt;/li&gt;
  277. &lt;li id="6kue57"&gt;An ugly, boring match suited Tottenham just fine up two goals on the road WOOOOand that’s pretty much what we got. Spurs tried to slow the game down, subtly waste as much time as they could, and stodge things up — basically Big Sam Ball. Sitting deeper helped prevent B/G from countering and attacking into space, which is where they’re really good.&lt;/li&gt;
  278. &lt;li id="FfFmcz"&gt;Contrary to what we all expected pre-match, the artificial field didn’t seem to play very fast — in fact, the ball died quickly on the wet turf. Passes seemed to zip a little more but they didn’t carry much once they hit the ground.&lt;/li&gt;
  279. &lt;li id="aSGi65"&gt;Spurs did look like they were selectively pressing high initially to try and kill the match off early, though they did noticeably sit off of Berg early. Kulusevski man-marked Berg for most of the match and it seemed pretty effective in keeping him from overtly influencing the game.&lt;/li&gt;
  280. &lt;li id="eOQ7W6"&gt;Micky van de Ven won a defensive header inside 10 minutes, which felt at the time like a good omen.&lt;/li&gt;
  281. &lt;li id="sUiEty"&gt;B/G had the majority of the possession in this match, and that felt like by design. Spurs seemed confident they could let them pass the ball around and still keep defensive solidity, much like they did in the first match.&lt;/li&gt;
  282. &lt;li id="h3ctma"&gt;B/G were successfully getting forward more in the second half, which gave the match an edge it didn’t quite have in the opening 45. &lt;/li&gt;
  283. &lt;li id="vTNgvU"&gt;Destiny Udogie had a fantastic match, especially defensively — rarely lost his man, was tracking B/G players to the back post, made a couple of fantastic stops.&lt;/li&gt;
  284. &lt;li id="lfObWC"&gt;Another super solid match from Richarlison. In both legs he’s played better than Solanke as a striker and it makes me think what might have been if he’d stayed healthy this season. His sub was likely for fitness reasons.&lt;/li&gt;
  285. &lt;li id="Dwt5tK"&gt;Spurs’ goal was just a well worked corner routine — Tel puts the ball to the back post, Cuti headed it back across the face of goal, and Solanke was right there to poke it in. Fantastic, and allowed everyone watching to breathe. Honestly wondered if Cuti’s header was going in regardless of Dom’s presence.&lt;/li&gt;
  286. &lt;li id="E30Y2q"&gt;Here are my exact notes at THAT moment: HOLY CRAP PEDRO PORRO WHAT&lt;/li&gt;
  287. &lt;li id="iPHkgi"&gt;There’s no funnier way than for B/G to get a dodgy penalty in the final 10 seconds of the match, only to have VAR call it back for diving. lol....lmao&lt;/li&gt;
  288. &lt;li id="tHKpmS"&gt;United also won their series 7-1 on aggregate over Athletic Bilbao, denying them the chance to win a title in their home stadium. Yes, it means another banterrific European Cup final (what could possibly go wrong) but as bad as Spurs have been this season at times, they’ve still had United’s number. And I’d still rather play them than Athletic.&lt;/li&gt;
  289. &lt;li id="47I9f5"&gt;Enjoy it, y’all. We’re one game away from breaking our silverware drought in the most awesome way, and delivering Ange Postecoglou his Year Two Trophy™.&lt;/li&gt;
