Tottenham Hotspur has done it! The trophy drought is over for the Lillywhites as they hoist the 2024-25 Europa League trophy in Ange Postecoglou's 2nd season, as promised, and we're here to break it all down.

First, David allows Maxwell the space to emote about the significance of his club finally getting one over the line, and to explain why his voice is shot to hell.

Then we proceed with the game itself, discussing key lineup decisions from Postecoglou and Amorim, before moving on to the key moments of the match, including: Johnson's winner, Van de Ven's clearance, Ange parking the bus, United's inflexible approach, and much more.

After, we move on to debating the future of both managers and what their clubs need to do to support improvement this summer, before closing with David's Europa League team of the season.

Cheers to MFing 2nd year Ange!

One of the most bizarre and intriguing Europa League finals of all time kicks off on May 21, and we're here to preview this remarkable matchup between league rivals Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

We begin with the question, "What makes a good Europa final?" What's an ideal matchup? Does United-Spurs meet the requirements? We also dive into what's made 24'-25' the season of underdogs and upsets across Europe.

Then we move into the big game preview, discussing possible lineups, injury concerns, and tactical options for both sides.

Finally, we debate the future of both clubs after the final. Will Ange and Amorim remain in charge? What weaknesses need to be addressed most over the summer window? And just how far off are United from being a functioning club?

Cheers Ruben and Ange – we'll see you Wednesday, lads!

It's a 2-parter this week folks! That's right, we couldn't contain all our thoughts on the semifinals to just one episode, so we've separated the Europa and Conference Leagues.

In this episode, we tackle tasty the Europa League matchups - Bodo and Spurs, Manchester United and Athletic Club - where the 15th and 16th-placed teams in the Premier League advanced to the final.

We discuss Spurs getting the job done in Norway with another professional and composed display, including how they were able to limit Bodo's high-flying attack, why Solanke and Bentancur were stand-out performers, and how fans should feel about Ange Postecoglou.

In England, Athletic Club had a big gap to overcome down 3 in the tie and without their star attackers. We break down how Athletic Club nearly gave United a scare anyway, why United were able to manage the game with limited drama, and debate whether the Basque side could've done more.

Finally, we look ahead to the final in Bilbao and consider the significance of one of the more bizarre European final matchups in history.

Cheers Ange Postecoglou and Ruben Amorim!
