Football | A Spurs fans tries to manifest some positivity

The thoughts of Paris, a Spurs fan ahead of the Europa League final. 

He has been trying to manifest some positivity after an awful domestic season

You might remember Mauricio Pochettino and his lemons. Those symbols of energy, positivity, and a belief in something just a little out of the ordinary

Whatever your stance on such ideas, the Argentine coach did steer Tottenham Hotspur to a Champions League final. So, whether it was the fruit or the football, something clearly worked.

Now, as Ange Postecoglou prepares to lead Spurs into another European final, this time with silverware genuinely within reach, his message is just as rooted in belief – though less citrus-focused. He wants his players to concentrate on the positives. Perhaps it’s time for fans to do the same.

Postecoglou has divided opinion at times, but whether you’re fully behind his philosophy or still harbour doubts, there’s no escaping the fact: he’s the man taking Tottenham into a defining moment in Bilbao. And it may be time to acknowledge the depth of the connection he has built with his squad.

Several players have spoken about the Australian manager’s influence behind the scenes. Yves Bissouma recently described Postecoglou as a father or uncle figure in the dressing room, a mentor who has stood by his team through thick and thin.

That sense of unity matters. Despite a deeply disappointing Premier League campaign, the players remain steadfast in their belief that it is their manager who has held the group together. Helping protect them, guide them, and fostering a spirit that has endured even when results have not.

Supporters of both clubs will be feeling the nerves ahead of this European showdown. But for Spurs fans, now is the time to rally. It's the to mirror the resilience shown by the players and stand together as a fanbase.

Manchester United may draw strength from their history. But this season has been full of unexpected triumphs – the year of the underdog, of clubs without recent trophies daring to believe again, of dreams realised when the odds said otherwise.

The Spurs fans in Bilbao are clearly behind the manager   

If this European final proves to be one of Ange Postecoglou’s last matches in charge of Tottenham, let it also be one where he inspires not just his players, but all of us. Not just to dream, but to believe.

It's time to end our banter era

Since that League Cup win in 2008, Spurs fans have seen some great moments. Clinching the final Champions League spot at Man City in 2010, Bale destroying Inter Milan and numerous North London derby wins. The Champions League run in 2018/2019 was absolutely ridiculous. However, one thing has always eluded us in that time.

It would be somewhat ironic if the worst Tottenham side in almost 30 years were to give us what we have craved for so long. Come on you Spurs!
