I think we will win something next season to be honest not because we can win on our day but because we will be good enough because we have been building up to it for three years, how long will Poch get? Another season for certain.


Poch will get as long as he wants to be here, winning things or not, so long the club is making money for Levy.

And we set out at the start the season to finish second and have a great GD?

No we, the goal is silverware that is the outcome that we should all want and it is something that illudes us.

We set out the season to try and scrape into the Top 4!

We finished 2nd. With a record points total.

We are going okay...

Those clubs had their day in the sun and are a busted flush now.


The FA Cup has gone the way of the League/Milk/Worthington Cup - Arsenal would swap it for a CL place in a heartbeat.


Really?

I wonder. Do they really want another hammering off Bayern again? Or have a great end to what was a shit season for them?

I still don't get what Portsmouth and Wigan has to do with us. Or why you are comparing to us.

Which is exactly the point im highlighting here. That shouldn't be the goal.

And I have never criticised or stated our league campaign was a failure.

They won silverware. Recently. And faded like fuck. Is this what you want for MY TEAM ?

I've seen the highs - and the lows.... I'm running out of years but I'll stay with the programme and hope for the very best.

Your requirement is 'silverware' - They got it.

When we were in the Europa League every year everyone posted how shit that was. Now we have broken that pattern. If we are in the CL group stages 3 years in a row competing for top spot then I might agree that our next priority is winning an FA Cup , preferably staying in the top 4. We have just had our best season in the League for more than 50 years. We have another chance to redeem ourselves in the CL. Right now I wouldn't take 5 th place , third rate EPL performances, the FA Cup and EL football over all we have achieved this season. We are not split down the middle as a club and do not have have banners in the sky demanding Poch should go. We are on the up and Arsenal are not. Today papers over their wide cracks.

No I don't. And it wouldn't happen. It didn't happen to Chelsea, Arse, Manu or Liverpool. Why would it happen to us?

Portsmouth got fucked by their owner, Wigan punched valiantly above their weight for years. Nothing embarrassing about what has happened to them. I would wager Wigan in particular wouldn't change their day in Sun for anything.

You have a different view to what is glory than me. No worries. We can agree to disagree.

This is still the best Spurs side I've seen in my lifetime but I can still wonder why we haven't won the facup for 26 years and I still think it's a very serious cup to win unlike yourself.

The Sky/Murdoch/oil profit league is not the be all and end all to football to me.

Although I wouldn't mind winning it!

I would take the facup above second yes.

Would never swap Arsenals for ours for anything. Even if we were in the Rymans I would take our season above theirs.

I'm a Tottenham fan see.
