Is this our peak? Will we not get any better? Our squad is a young squad and improving. Our youth personnel is stuffed to the gills with potential. We won't even begin to fulfill our potential off the pitch until the stadium has been up and running for a few seasons - and will that have a knock-on effect on-pitch. As said in another thread - we have been building the launch pad, now we are ready for take-off!
[Spurs won't get any better]...but we will. Will you? Are you so sure of that? You won't get that much better until Klippity realises he has to tailor his defensive unit to English football's requirements. Has he done that so far? Liverpool are now the fifth best financed club in England and, in terms of everything but finances, behind the sixth best financed club, Spurs in just about every other way. I see no immediate improvement in sight - just a blind faith that Klippity has bought you some great attacking football, while totally unbalancing his team, so if his spends some more money that is inherently going to be less that United, City, Chelsea and ArseAnal can spend, all will come well.
Failed to get second...blah blah blah...two horse race...blah blah blah. Leicester finished above everyone that season...not just Spurs (you fucking plank). It will probably be Liverpool's best chance of winning the league in year', too - it's just that we got closer than you. Perhaps that is because it was so early in Poch's building process (y'know the building process you are deifying for Klippity...who is now further into his building process that Poch was, but further away from the top). Blah blah bloody Scouse BS blah. PS - squad building is an ongoing process, didn't watching the detested Ferguson even teach the most knowledgeable fans in the World that!
The only real players we have been buying are squad players... LoL. That is because our young and improving 1st team, y'know, the one that finished above Liverpool in seven of the last eight seasons, is pretty good. The common refrain all Spurs fans have become familiar with has been that our first team was great but we had no squad depth. So..yeah...we bought squad players. What would you have done you pea-brained Mickey twat? Bought one over budget player every season? Besides, they has been far more to our buying policy than buying squad players. We have bought some potentially excellent young players. And Poch has said we are in a new phase of buying...looking for genuine 1st team players now. Scouse plank!
Klippity has slowing been buying and moulding the team he wants...and is still three or four players shy. I'll say. Three or four players, and does that include a defensive unit? Just because Klippity was able to buy and mould a team over several seasons in a one-horse race in Germany, it doesn't mean he will be able to succeed in a league with different requirements and four teams who can outspend him and another one that is better in just about every other way than finances, ATM.
Talk to me when Klopp has the starting XI he wants - LoL. Poch started making Spurs competitive immediately, with hardly no players he wanted. Even when he had to freeze 1st team players out and play untested youth. Difference in mentality...and Poch's is better than constantly justifying lack of competitiveness on not having the players he wants.
when that happens [Klippity gets the four players needed for first team presumably]. But what if he doesn't? What if he suddenly realises he needs another one - always easy to do when success isn't attained. Rodgers achieved more in the amount of time than Klippity has. How long before his position is in jeopardy? Oh, no, sorry, that will be never, as you have blind and absolute faith in Klippity. But never had the same in Rodgers? LoL.
I guarantee you we'd have won a hell of a lot more than Tottenham have. What, starting from today? Okay, will file away for future reference.
p.s. Yeessssssssss, Newcaslte 1 Manchester United Nil. ???What does Valencia have to do to get sent off???

“This is their peak. They won't get any better, but we will. They failed to get even second place in a two horse race with Leicester in 2016, were never going to win the league last season and are miles off it again this season. As are we. How are they getting better? Pochettino has arguably built the very squad he's wanted to build, and the only real players they have been buying as of late have been for squad depth. Klopp took over in 2015 - during Tottenham's glorious title-chasing season when they finished third - and has been slowly rebuilding and moulding the side into what he wants, and we're still 3 or 4 first team players away from that. Talk to me when Klopp has the starting XI he wants and when that happens I guarantee you we'd have won a hell of a lot more than Tottenham have.”
That comment has annoyed me now. For the past week I’ve seen all their sniping and bitching, now I’m annoyed. Got half a mind to register and reply to the C U Next Tuesday. Doesn’t he remember his chumps blew a big lead with 3 games remaining. Fucking mongs.

Have no idea why it should bother you.
He's inventing reasons why liverpool are a better team than spurs. Doesn't get them any points and wont effect the league standings or who wins a trophy which is what will matter.

We are hated, despised, secretly admired, and have coveted players/manager, and I LOVE it. Shows we are a club that to be reckoned with.
Historically, and currently, the narrative has been......
'They are hopeless/will soon be relegated - we weren't/won' be.
'They'll never win anything' - we did, albeit only the league cup
'They won't get CL football' - we did, and still have.
'They'll get humiliated in the CL' - the game against RM away in 2010 aside, we haven' been.
'They won't attract world class players' - maybe, maybe not. But we'e created a few (Bale, Modric, Kane)
'They won't be able to keep/pay their best player's ' - we'll see
'Their good form is a blip' - 3 year blip and counting.
And so on, and so on, and so on. Hope we continue to keep proving the bitter idiots wrong.

This club has everything now and I mean everything.
World class stadium, world class training facilities, home crowds of > 80k, excellent academy system and London based.
The only thing missing is a few pots and this will come.
We have been spending cash on building our infrastructure these last 10 years and eventually and soon, we will divert a portion of this to wages.
Be proud - the shit we had in 90s.
I always knew the size of this club - supporters everywhere. COYS

Fuck me, we must be the most talked about Club at the moment.
That old phrase, it's better to be talked about than not talked about at all rings so true!!
You don't even have to read all that fucking waffle on RAWK about us, the sheer volume of it confirms they really do fear our progression as a Club.

Some of us are old enough to remember relegation in 1978 and watching games in Div 2!

It was 1977 not 1978 when we got relegated, The season in Div 2 was the first season i started to watch the skills of a young Glenn Hoddle mixed in with the very ordinary John Pratt, John Lacy and Don McCallister and may more...
