I am ambitious for more than just top 4 and a bit of a run in the CL. IMO we should be able to do a bit better than that. We are not going to win the league or CL in the short term. Listen, it's subjective. I am not old school but I am not an accountant either. The success of a club is measured by a lot of factors but silverware is definitely one of them. That's just my opinion.
You've completely missed the point. That's just my opinion.

Wishful thinking I guess but I hope Poch kicks off about the ref. He's very respectful but we've been on the wrong end of some woeful officiating recently.

Maybe it's my spurs tinted specs but I don't think that's a red. He's tried to block him off, but has accidentally ended up elbowing him. Foul, yes. Yellow, yes. Act of deliberate aggression? No

very harsh IMO, as well. yes its arm to face but it wasnt what he intended. Quite honestly that call probably doesnt get made against an established prem player. Harry shoulda won a pen early on, too.

That stat is dependent on the quality of players that can be brought on. If you bring on Salah or Mané, then it's likely to have more effect than some of the players we can bring on.
This, our first 11 is excellent, but we don't have the revenue required to have £100kpw players sat on the bench.

some tosh on here today....there was a lot to be proud and some big positives.
Was watching the game with a Chelsea, Utd and Forest (!) fan and they couldn't believe some of the decisions against us.
Dembele starting to look fitter which is big.
Do need big Vic back asap for depth.
COYS!!

The way I see it is confidence is everything. We were flying. We got knocked by the Goon result and haven’t recovered. But on the flip side. The goons have taken confidence from beating us and are looking pretty fucking good at the moment. (Even 2-0 down to manure they are murdering them) confidence can be restored. And we can go on a long winning run. We’ve done it before. It’s all shit at the moment but hang in there. I personally thought we played quite well against Leicester. Another day we might have had 5 goals. We need to hang together for now. Wembley is hard enough without what little atmosphere we have had going down the pan. We got this.

Ouch, sorry I didn't intend to annoy you or try and disprove you. You are totally entitled to have your own opinion and I have no issue if you want to feel like you have won an argument. I just feel like we need to win some silverware. I think that we can win an FA cup without it being to the detriment of a top 4 challenge. If I've missed the point or am living in the past then, fair enough. Maybe I am!

He's scoring and assisting more this season than last.

He was playing very well but that was all earlier in the season, his recent form has been really poor. Alli has been shit all season except for 2 game as well.

The point was that this reference back to what we were thought of, "The Drury Lane fan dancers" to quote Shankly, is what has held us back from doing better, earning more money and then getting in better players as well as not losing our best players. Ginola is the embodiment of that, flashy with little steel.
