Yeah it's hard to imagine Tottenham have made the Quarter finals more this decade than Arsenal considering Arsenal have been in it every year and Spurs only once till this season.

A good morning for the EPL sides. Arsenal come back from 2-0 down to beat Ludogorets 3-2 away from home.
Man City come back from 1-0 down to beat Barcelona 3-1.

Spurs lose 1-0 in front of over 85K. Looking forward to Harry Kane coming back so we can start scoring goals again!
Leicester and Copenhagen ended up nil all.

Spurs lose 2-1 to Monaco and are out of the Championship with a game to spare.
Leicester beat Club Brugge 2-1 to continue their impressive Europe form.

Spurs were just simply not up to it, had one of the softest groups in the comp and played poorly apart from 1 game. Reckon they will do some damage in the EL now though

Agreed. Wembley didn't help too, might have picked up some more points if we played at WHL.

If you're going to bomb out might as well finish 4th. No good playing Thursday and Friday night games in the Europa.

Spurs continue to be the laughing stock of North London :lol:

Spurs bow out with a 3-1 win and now go into the EL.
Not a great year for Arsenal and Leicester to top their groups with Real Madrid and Bayern potentially awaiting

Thought it might be best if we come fourth and just concentrate on the EPL and FA Cup but they want to get more practise at Wembley for next season when all home games will be played there.

Is not playing at WHL a Europa League requirement too?

It's not a requirement, they are choosing to play at Wembley to gain experience for the following year and getting a lot more spectators in since WHL is reduced ATM.

Just surprises me that they'd have Europa League matches there rather than Premier League matches which I would have thought would get a higher attendance.
