    Well yes, winning something means they have despite finishing 17th!

    I said a while back I’d rather finish 17th & win a trophy than finish 2nd & win nothing & then Spurs have gone & done it!

    Ultimately football is about winning things & making memories. The Spurs fans will never forget this final just like (on a lesser scale) we will never forget them Wembley wins in 2016.

    If you’re a chairman then finishing in the champions league spots is great for balancing the books. If you’re a fan you want the memories.

    Arteta is a complete bottle job. Failed miserably given the vast sums he's spent. I can't see Arsenal winning anything next season either.

    Won a euro pot and qualified for CL compared to merely qualifying for CL. No discussion really.

    That’s the thing though. Winning this trophy means they are in the champions league!

    I can’t make an argument to say Arsenal had a better season. Second in the league, semi of the champions league - their name is on nothing. They won nothing.

    They start next season having failed on all fronts - Spurs were absolute dogger a lot of the time but have a big shiny cup and are in the league stage of the champions league just like their neighbours - with all the money that comes with it.
