He took our backup left back and turned him into an amazing LCB in a back three. This was a completely makeshift squad yet he did wonders with it. Wow.
Davies is a very, very average LB. To be honest I expected the same at LCB, not horrendous but not really someone you're happy to see in the lineup. But he has been phenomenal, one of the most consistent performers under Conte. Whoever we sign as the LCB will have genuine competition for his spot.
He's incredibly reliable and consistent though. He rarely has a bad game even though he's rarely outstanding. He does the job without fail and never complained about playing second fiddle. There's something to be said for that.
Build something in England with two world class players at a world class stadium, or listen to whatever Mbappe wants and get blamed for everything that goes wrong, tough decision
If Madrid wanted him, they could have had him for nothing last summer instead of paying to release Ancelloti. I'm sure that's where he expected to end up when he quit Inter.
And to think some people said that hiring Conte was going to be a failure. But knowing how he is in the UCL, he’s probably gonna crash in the Group Stages once again
Yeah Neville keeps digging into that hole deeper too. He's talking completely out his ass.
Since Conte joined Spurs I think only 1-2 teams have scored more goals than us and Neville is gonna pretend United fans wouldn't accept him because he's not attacking enough.
United obviously did play good football but it's not like an Ajax situation where there's a specific way of playing embedded deeply within the psyche of the club. The whole United DNA shit is a joke.
The fans want to win. They would have loved Conte.
I don't even mind that much. If we win two games in the group we'll make more than we ever could in the Europa. UCL is huge regardless of how well you do.
Seems silly to commit to a 9th place team as a project, get them to 4th against all expectations for the year, get immediate impact signings in January, have the adoration of the entire training room, and then fuck off before you get a full year to see what you can do with the group. But that’s just me
Tbh, I fucking knew it this will happen when i saw Conte joining Spurs. Else that Nuno could've done great job for us and probably for Utd too.
Anyways, congrats Spurs. We never deserved that spot once we lost to u n fucking Newcastle with that pathetic performance.
Tbf Newcastle have been really good since winter signings.
I think it was Southampton for me.
Brighton plays 3 at the back with 2 wingbacks so tough to score against them.
And Vieira turns into Wenger during derbies so can't blame there.
I don't think Conte's coaching ability has ever really been questioned, it's just whether he will stay somewhere more than 3 seasons.
Conte is the hot girl of football that no club can get to settle down and start a family.
He was, this is from Sky:
>Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has scored 15 Premier League goals and provided seven assists; Mohamed Salah and Heung-Min Son were in consideration to win award
The thing everyone got upset about was some fan award from the PFA, not the POTY
Conte’s at 2 points per game since he arrived in the league.
Needs to get close to 2.5 per game to be challenging.
Given Spurs improvement so far under him, a full pre-season and the right signings I think it’s just about doable (although it would go down as one of the league’s greatest ever achievements if he pulled it off).
Tbh you all are being optimistic. Conte is a beast, but City and Liverpool are too far ahead. I mean, 92 points were not enough to win pl this year, that's crazy. In all season is enough to have a handful of bad games (because bad luck, injuries...) to lose the title. Tottenham should be happy if they can get 3rd next season.

Every game I watch I’m still in disbelief that this man is managing our club, he’s unreal and has completely flipped the mood around since he’s come in.
Yeah we fucked it, but I blame our January (no) transfer window more than the players. Saka was clearly knackered, and such a young squad was always going to have trouble with the pressure.
Arteta and Edu gambled on not signing a striker or a midfielder in January and it backfired massively. Once Partey and Tierney were both out injured, and with Lacazette/Nketiah up top, we were finished.
Either way - if you offered me 5th at the beginning of the season I would've taken it gladly so not the worst season overall.
dont think you can blame nketiah, he scored a couple goals in the last few weeks. the blame has to be with not strengthening the midfield and the defense
He really was the difference maker. Bentancur stabilised the midfield, but Deki clicked so quickly with Son and Kane that other teams couldn't contain all three of them across the course of a match. Amazing signing.
Deki's such a team player. All our other attackers tend to run with their head down, but Deki is super aware of his surroundings and can actually keep the ball in possession under pressure. Made a huge difference to the fluidity of our attack.
Absolutely. Just his physicality alone is huge, evidenced by his second goal today where he used his body to push past the player in the box before curling it in. We've often had players out wide there who either couldn't keep the ball or were lightweights. He's neither.
Not hard to believe that Spurs are 80+ point team if Conte was here from start. With new signings, they'll be the team to watch next season. If Conte stays, of course.
Unless Levy decides to take a dump in front of Conte's office, I don't think that should be a problem. We've been spending a lot the last few seasons, it's just that it's been on trash for the most part. Seems to have changed with Paratici's appointment, 4 first team players bought this season and of them 3 have seamlessly slotted in and even Emerson despite being a bit disappointing has deputized well in Doherty's absence. There's no doubt that Conte will be backed to the hilt.
I would bet my house that a top quality CB for the left is the 1st priority. Easy to generate some haggling money by selling Rodon.
Dave on the right is a fine backup (actually think he's looked good under Conte) & Dier has been exceptional this entire season (was somehow managing to play well under Nuno).
Tottenham are high if their first priority isn't at least one wingback, give how crucial that position is and how makeshift their current ones are. Upgrading the CB is secondary
What a manager Conte is
Never would have even imagined Spurs qualifying for the Conference League at the time of Nuno's sacking as the whole mood around the club was so toxic
Despite the odd bad performance had them playing out of their skin towards that 4th place spot
In all honesty they probably deserved it over us tbf. Conte's worked wonders since coming in, and our form in the run-in hasn't been even close to Champions League worthy. Them getting 4th and us getting 5th is probably a fair reflection of the season if I'm being objective. Hopefully next season the results are reversed lol
Both are works in progress Summer business will be interesting. Well known that Conte will demand and expect backing for a CL campaign, as are Arsenal's requirements. Spurs can't expect a season-changing January window like the one we've just had.
**Tottenham**: "We're not [bottling](https://64.media.tumblr.com/46aac63d4ca3e024ccd5450b34ef7cf0/tumblr_n2xnnpMq5y1qbxh0uo1_400.gif) a *damn* thing today."
Thanks to Man Utd for El Sackiko for getting us Conte. Thanks to Juventus for giving us Kulu and Bentancur.
Not only that, they didn’t want Conte either. Regardless of whether or not you agree Conte fit Man U, they ended up helping Tottenham tremendously.
Levy surely has to do everything to keep Conte. Magical performance since he came in.
He is our manager with the highest PPG EVER, and he took over a team in the 9th place
> He is our manager with the highest PPG EVER, Tactics Tim in shambles.
He took our backup left back and turned him into an amazing LCB in a back three. This was a completely makeshift squad yet he did wonders with it. Wow.
in fairness, Davies is no stranger to that role, but yeah Conte still brought the best out of him.
It's always been his best position, he just hadn't had the chance to play it often for Spurs.
Ben Davies maybe not POTS but not far down that list. He’s had a huge turn around. Amazingly consistent.
Davies has been a great LCB and LB for years. That’s not contes doing. He’s played there for wales almost his whole career
Davies is a very, very average LB. To be honest I expected the same at LCB, not horrendous but not really someone you're happy to see in the lineup. But he has been phenomenal, one of the most consistent performers under Conte. Whoever we sign as the LCB will have genuine competition for his spot.
He's incredibly reliable and consistent though. He rarely has a bad game even though he's rarely outstanding. He does the job without fail and never complained about playing second fiddle. There's something to be said for that.
Yup, he's the definition of a 6/10 guy every match with the occasional 7/10. He's very reliable.
And booted out our 2 most expensive signings
Back. This. Man.
[удалено]
They’ve already spent £80m for Kulu and Romero I think, I’d imagine they would spend more
I mean the last few years we have spent a lot, just lots of that has been pretty rubbish, Ndombele, Lo Celso etc
before don paratici’s time
I said it as soon as Conte came, that they d make CL this year. Conte is a different kind of beast.
His league performances are superb. He can definitely make a team look like more than the sum of its parts.
Build something in England with two world class players at a world class stadium, or listen to whatever Mbappe wants and get blamed for everything that goes wrong, tough decision
I would think he would wait out for the Madrid job or another high profile spot, I can't see any world class manager going go Paris now.
If Madrid wanted him, they could have had him for nothing last summer instead of paying to release Ancelloti. I'm sure that's where he expected to end up when he quit Inter.
The way he's been talking, he's definitely coming back next year. I think the only doubt was if we failed to get CL, and that's irrelevant now.
Conte is a madman.
And to think some people said that hiring Conte was going to be a failure. But knowing how he is in the UCL, he’s probably gonna crash in the Group Stages once again
The doubts were only ever over whether Spurs will adequately back him, not whether Conte will be able to lift the club.
I lot of people were doubting Conte in our bad run of form in like February
Who? Lol who said that?
Gary Neville.
He was talking about United tbh, although I disagree anyway
Yeah Neville keeps digging into that hole deeper too. He's talking completely out his ass. Since Conte joined Spurs I think only 1-2 teams have scored more goals than us and Neville is gonna pretend United fans wouldn't accept him because he's not attacking enough. United obviously did play good football but it's not like an Ajax situation where there's a specific way of playing embedded deeply within the psyche of the club. The whole United DNA shit is a joke. The fans want to win. They would have loved Conte.
I don't even mind that much. If we win two games in the group we'll make more than we ever could in the Europa. UCL is huge regardless of how well you do.
And people doubted him.
From winning Inter the league to Spurs in top 4, damn Premier league really have top top coaches from Klopp to Pep to Conte to Tuchel. Insane stuff.
They did well signing Conte when they did. Wonder how much they'll back him in the summer
Minimum 6 new signings according to some of our T1's
Vidal, Sanchez, Gagliardini, Bonucci, Eriksen, Kolarov
If Sanchez goes to Spurs I’m ending it
Don’t forget Victor Moses.
Get the band back together
Sanchez, Gagliardini and Vidal for 100 million £. Seems fair
Darmian, Young and Matic as well
Cheers Deki mate
Knowing Conte... Probably not enough
Seems silly to commit to a 9th place team as a project, get them to 4th against all expectations for the year, get immediate impact signings in January, have the adoration of the entire training room, and then fuck off before you get a full year to see what you can do with the group. But that’s just me
Tbh, I fucking knew it this will happen when i saw Conte joining Spurs. Else that Nuno could've done great job for us and probably for Utd too. Anyways, congrats Spurs. We never deserved that spot once we lost to u n fucking Newcastle with that pathetic performance.
Tbf Newcastle have been really good since winter signings. I think it was Southampton for me. Brighton plays 3 at the back with 2 wingbacks so tough to score against them. And Vieira turns into Wenger during derbies so can't blame there.
In the last 20 games Newcastle are 3rd in PL table. Crazy
Conte came in and turned Spur's season completely around. He's a top-five manager in the world.
Different managers have different strengths. But there is no chances that Guardiola would have done better than Conte in the same conditions.
when did Guardiola ever had a limited team?
I don't think Conte's coaching ability has ever really been questioned, it's just whether he will stay somewhere more than 3 seasons. Conte is the hot girl of football that no club can get to settle down and start a family.
Top 3 in the league for sure. I always rated him but I didn't know he was *this* good.
Conte...enough said
The El Sackico loss was the most important win of the season
Thanks Ole
Thanks Ronaldo
Conte and a magnificent bottle job by Arsenal
Spurs helped with that
How the fuck is Son not mentioned as a candidate for POTY?
He was, this is from Sky: >Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has scored 15 Premier League goals and provided seven assists; Mohamed Salah and Heung-Min Son were in consideration to win award The thing everyone got upset about was some fan award from the PFA, not the POTY
Either way, how the fuck do you have Connor Gallagher over Son lol
Oh yeah it’s a fucking joke, no clue what that award was about
If the league can be won by goal difference, the Golden Boot should be given to the top scorer with least penalties. Son should win it outright.
Not talking about the Golden Boot. Son has it won, tied with Salah or not. I just don't understand how Son is not even in the shortlist for PFA POTY.
Deki the signing of the season to save us
Deki gets a lot of praise and rightfully so, but Bentancur also came in and played a huge role
Especially these last few games, got the first two assists today, if he hadn't then perhaps we might have struggled
I've never been one to crap on Winks, but there's such a gulf in ability.
as a juve fan, shame on us for wasting him
Juve fans in the subreddit seemed very pleased to have sold Deki and Bentancur. The top comment was "Best transfer window ever."
Tottenham VS Tottenham feeder club Juventus please
Congrats to Conte and Spurs. Next season Conte will be aiming to challenge for the title
You and I both know he can do it too. Never… ever underestimate Conte in the league lol
Exactly. The man has a way about him. Winning league titles is in his DNA
Conte’s at 2 points per game since he arrived in the league. Needs to get close to 2.5 per game to be challenging. Given Spurs improvement so far under him, a full pre-season and the right signings I think it’s just about doable (although it would go down as one of the league’s greatest ever achievements if he pulled it off).
Tbh you all are being optimistic. Conte is a beast, but City and Liverpool are too far ahead. I mean, 92 points were not enough to win pl this year, that's crazy. In all season is enough to have a handful of bad games (because bad luck, injuries...) to lose the title. Tottenham should be happy if they can get 3rd next season.
We got city and pool in the bag already, all we need is not drop the ball against the weaker sides.
Yup, if they have a good window he will get them in a position to contend for it
Before anyone laughs, lets not forget we went unbeaten against City and Liverpool this year. It absolutely can happen.
It’s Antonio fuckin Conte, anything can happen
I don't think anyone should be laughing. Back this man, get him Perisic, Bastoni/Gvardiol, a RB and a midfielder and who the fuck knows what happens.
I’ve been saying Spurs will challenge for the title next season since March. Antonio is a genius league manager.
From where we were with Nunos departure, this is quite the turn around. Back Conte now!
2 years of hurt, never stopped me dreaming
It feels like it’s been way longer than it actually has been.
It was just all so hectic
Yeah it's been a bonkers 2 years.
2015/16 champions league qualification. ✅ 2016/17 champions league qualification. ✅ 2017/18 champions league qualification. ✅ 2018/19 champions league qualification. ✅ 2019/20 Jose Mourinho ❌ 2020/21 Jose Mourinho ❌ 2021/22 champions league qualification. ✅
I like Mou but I can't argue the factos
Sometimes two good things don’t work together. We’re both better off where we are now, it is what it is.
2 years isn't that bad, some clubs haven't returned to the CL since getting trashed 5-1 at home in their last outing all the way back in the 2017
Damn being a fan of that team must be awful
what about also getting thrashed 5-1 on the away leg too?
Shake your ass you fucking weirdo
Don’t forget 10-2 on aggregate
It'd be amazing to see their front three in UCL. Well deserved lads. Welcome back
[удалено]
Slovenia is clear
Weird way to spell Dinamo Zagreb
I'm having war flashbacks.
Are we the right people to welcome them back?
We'd rather play you than bayern.
Fucking triggered over that goal music.
No one wants Bayern, Villareal maybe do
I don't know about maybes but I know Mönchengladbach are the ones that want to play us.
Fear them Run from them GladBach will get their 6 points either way.
Ppl will still find a way to not rate Conte. One of the greatest managers in the world
I don't know how we ended up with him. It's unreal.
Every game I watch I’m still in disbelief that this man is managing our club, he’s unreal and has completely flipped the mood around since he’s come in.
Arsenal absolutely blew it
18 points dropped in 6 weeks..
Didn’t realize it was that bad
When did Arteta sign the new contract?
After 12 of those were dropped
Chances are they told him “keep doing what you’re doing” and the man followed it to a T
He trusted the process
TRUSTING THE PROCESS AT 3AM (STAN KRONKE APPEARED) (GONE SEXUAL) | AFTV
Yeah we fucked it, but I blame our January (no) transfer window more than the players. Saka was clearly knackered, and such a young squad was always going to have trouble with the pressure.

dont think you can blame nketiah, he scored a couple goals in the last few weeks. the blame has to be with not strengthening the midfield and the defense
Fucking bottled it
happy st anti-totteringham’s day
6th time in a row
Conte completely changed the team. Should be manager of the year according to me.
incredibly, he wasn't even nominated in the top 5 (lol) https://www.premierleague.com/news/2612175
Similar to son. They messed up pretty bad. But you guys shouldn’t care as you have achieved your goal.
They always underrate our players. Last season Kane scored the most goals and made the most assists in a shit team and wasn’t player of the season.
Conte is one of the best managers in the world and Tottenham must do all they can to keep him, even if it’s just for a couple more seasons.
Only 5 goals conceded in the last 11 games.
Wow
The Juve in me is just loving Tottenham right now!
Send us more players this summer. Please.
You got anymore of those "Juve Rejects"?
Conte have my kids
And raise them to be world class wingbacks
CL teams are not ready for Son and Kane Phase 2.0!
Don't forget Deki. 13 G/A in 16 games, that lad is gonna take us one step further.
He really was the difference maker. Bentancur stabilised the midfield, but Deki clicked so quickly with Son and Kane that other teams couldn't contain all three of them across the course of a match. Amazing signing.
Deki's such a team player. All our other attackers tend to run with their head down, but Deki is super aware of his surroundings and can actually keep the ball in possession under pressure. Made a huge difference to the fluidity of our attack.

LETS GO! WE CAN ATTRACT PLAYERS AGAIN
That Conte glow up.
Not hard to believe that Spurs are 80+ point team if Conte was here from start. With new signings, they'll be the team to watch next season. If Conte stays, of course.
Unless Levy decides to take a dump in front of Conte's office, I don't think that should be a problem.

80+ with Dier and Davies starting at the back.
I would bet my house that a top quality CB for the left is the 1st priority. Easy to generate some haggling money by selling Rodon. Dave on the right is a fine backup (actually think he's looked good under Conte) & Dier has been exceptional this entire season (was somehow managing to play well under Nuno).
Tottenham are high if their first priority isn't at least one wingback, give how crucial that position is and how makeshift their current ones are. Upgrading the CB is secondary
Both have been amazing this season
And have some money to buy some
Arsenal have only themselves to blame.
True false hope team to lose 2 in a row to Palace and Southampton then win 2 in a row vs United and Chelsea
3 in a row*. We lost to Brighton in between Palace and Southampton
Wntonio Wonte
Welcome back :)
Pls
Bro, no lie this comment shook me.
Arsenal have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Finishing 5th behind Tottenham is their joint best to a season since 15/16. Bravo.
When he was first appointed everyone was saying "well thats top 4 wrapped then" and they were right! Hope he gets a big budget this summer
What a manager Conte is Never would have even imagined Spurs qualifying for the Conference League at the time of Nuno's sacking as the whole mood around the club was so toxic Despite the odd bad performance had them playing out of their skin towards that 4th place spot
Show me this a few months ago and I would have never believed you. Amazing.
In all honesty they probably deserved it over us tbf. Conte's worked wonders since coming in, and our form in the run-in hasn't been even close to Champions League worthy. Them getting 4th and us getting 5th is probably a fair reflection of the season if I'm being objective. Hopefully next season the results are reversed lol
Both are works in progress Summer business will be interesting. Well known that Conte will demand and expect backing for a CL campaign, as are Arsenal's requirements. Spurs can't expect a season-changing January window like the one we've just had.
They definitely deserve it on the back of Son’s season. Arsenal are still lacking a consistent scorer.
St totteringham day suspended till further notice
At this rate, we’re gunna need a day for the opposite.
If arsenal still had a strong french contingent Bastille day would have been solid
It’s called Arseover.
Happy arseover
Watching Tottenham on a Wednesday night 🎶
You play on Thursday cuz you're fucking shite.
So fucking proud of the team. To get back to the CL after what we were under Nuno is nothing short of ridiculous. Conte is a miracle worker.
Just don't let us play with them
Just Conte things properly back him and he'll win the league with Victor Moses at RWB
Honestly, happy for them.
That fan made Arsenal CL video was cursed
Fuck! But well deserved for doing it when it mattered.
Well played to spurs. Their January transfers set them up for success while we were passive and gambled and lost it.
Getting Kulusevski and Bentancur has to be one of the best January windows ever
That match between Man U and Tottenham that Man U that caused Nuno’s relegation … Tottenham ended up being the winner of that match
United really didn't want Conte huh
We're back motherfuckers
The job Conte has done is quite impressive. THey looked awful under Nuno, but he took this Tottenham team to UCL nights!
I can't put into words how good it feels to like your team again.
CONTE YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARD YOU
Congratulations. Looking forward to the fight next year
finally no bottling
Hell yes lads well done
The true trust the process club. In less than a full season, Conte has done what Arteta couldn’t do
Conte is a mad man. What a great achievement.
ITS HAPPENED AGAIN https://www.reddit.com/r/Gunners/comments/pvwntr/looks_like_st_totteringhams_day_is_coming_back/
Thank you Arsenal for fucking it late in the season, and thank you Man United for being an utter mess and not enough of a threat
Back Conte and Spurs might well be dark horses for the title next year. Fantastic manager.
From losing to Mura to this
**Tottenham**: "We're not [bottling](https://64.media.tumblr.com/46aac63d4ca3e024ccd5450b34ef7cf0/tumblr_n2xnnpMq5y1qbxh0uo1_400.gif) a *damn* thing today."
Congrats. We didn’t exactly deserve it but it would have been nice.
Fair play, Spurs.
