This is the first time he's beaten Poch, so you wasted a lot of words that amount to zip.
Man City v Spurs: Do they know it's match thread time at all
- Thread starter Everlasting Seconds
- Start date
Do you know when ENIC took over and when we last won an FA Cup? Do you know that the FA Cup doesn't mean that much now, except to Johnny Brexit? We were known as a cup team and that was a problem that caused us a lot of problems in the long term.

Falling out of love with football. After many years the hope is gone. Can't really be bothered to watch a selling club lose football matches anymore. The losses hurt a lot more when you have some hope. I'll probably renew for one more year to watch us in the new stadium, but after that I don't think it's healthy for an adult man to have an emotional investment in something he can't impact and quite frankly will never be successful. Football is and has always been about money, if you don't have it you have no chance.

The ideas of having weak players, weak bench, poor transfer policy just doesn't come into arguments at all. Southampton and Everton gave them a tough game, for all the players they had, compared to ours. We gave fuck all.
Its all in the mentality and attitude, as well as Poch rigidity. If we never push beyond these barriers, no matter how world class our players are, we will see the same performance IMHO.
Weird thing is, I thought we had push past these barriers last season.. Sigh..

Right mate but there is too much agenda rubbish from posters here....think AC noted it that it is far busier here in defeat than victory....says a lot

Ok sterling maybe not but if you look i did say david silva was missing. Now with the possible exception of hazard i would put aguero (yes even infront of kane who i think is great btw) sane, de bruyne and d silva ahead of any other 4 in the league
As good as eriksen is on his day hes not as good or as consistent enough to get in ahead of those. Same goes for coutinho, salah and sanchez

KDB is really a scum. I still cannot forget how bastard was he within just the first 10 minutes when he was fell and waving his hand at the ref to show a card.
Having Hazard in the national team must be hard for Verts, Toby and Dembele. Now there is another KDB to make two scums unbearable.

Trouble is that football has changed. Back in the day we could concentrate on progression in the FA cup or perhaps the league cup but now the FA cup is apparently worthless and it is beneath us to compete for it; presumably the same applies to the league cup and therefore you have the premier league, top 4 and the CL. Well, the top 4 is achievable (albeit not a trophy), the premier league we have competed for on a couple of occasions and came up short but is still generally very tough to compete for against clubs with arguably stronger squads and the CL is again obviously a tough competition.

Obviously disappointed, but what can you do when forced to play in the wrong kind of drizzle.

I don't think it is plausible, they will develop physically and mentally and they are still young.
My original point was in response to the idea that Poch had taken this team as far as he can, I am not saying we don't need to buy top players if we can.

I don't believe it does, other than the obvious attitude problems, their best days are ahead of them.
What Walker does or doesn't do doesn't alter the fact that he became a better player during the second half of his twenties and that supports my point.

I get that and I do agree that with the new stadium we have to step up on what we pay both in wages and transfer fees otherwise there is no point in the new stadium, players will expect it without a doubt.
I'm probably just more optimistic that we will, it is the next step and I think Levy recognises that, I certainly believe he is being given that message by Pochottino no less.

Chill pill.
I think all the money in football is ridiculous.
I applaud our values and wage structure.
I, personally, in my world, hate it and do not believe the players are "right" ...but that's not the point...the point is...it is their world...their reality.
BUT
Life in general and footballers in particular are greedy...they want 1) Money and 2) to win things. And the elite will pursue those ambitions where the two marry - hence the Real Madrid's, Barca's, PSG's and now Man Shitty's of this world. You can't deny or ignore the fact. It is all relative. Kyle Walker, Modric, Bale....have all moved to the promised land of A + B = Galatico Ambition and reward.
I agree with your sentiment, I wish it were true that life and footballers thought the way you do - but it don't and they don't (rarely...Kane may stay).
But the reality? Rose wants to do a Walker. If we don't sort out Toby Ald. ..he will move on. What a mess we are with out him - but we are not showing him how much we value him in the footballing world. You're talking about the top 1% of THEIR profession - it's all glim, glam and money orientated showcase - Dele Alli and his posse epitomising that "Brand" belief. Sad..but true.
