4th and the FA Cup.....I'll get breast implants to keep my keen to push through the pain of constant jerking off.
But Stemark, this thread isn't just about the FA cup is it, it's about CL places and the FA Cup. But on the subject of the FA Cup, are you not proud that we are 3rd in the all time winners list, do you not care about our history? Do you still go to games? and if so do you sing the song "...and if you know your History". If you do, but don't care about this "piece of tin with no real value now" why do you sing the song?
Has the FA cup really been that severly devalued? What a real shame that is :-(
I should have added another vote in the poll, just named TalkshowhostIt's a very odd situation. It would be our best season since God knows when, but I'd still have a slight feeling that we could/should have done better, and a feeling that it's because of Harry that we didn't.
Where previously I thought people who said he'd taken us as far as he can were crazy, I think that he really has now taken us as far as he can, and his issues with tactics will hold us back from properly challenging at the top.
Having said that, the only reason we're even looking at 'the top' as a possible place to be is because of Harry and we should never forget that. He took us from at best, mid-table also rans and at worst, relegation candidates, and has made us a team that expects to be in the Champions League. For that he deserves to be in the hall of fame and whichever way you spin it he's our most successful manager in the Premier League era by some distance.
So...I want to vote for both options...because I'm even more fickle than Matty considered possible in a Spurs fan
I don't dwell on it but Matt asked me a question,so I answered it.

I am not joking when I say it but if Alex McLeish and Sam Allerdyce had been given the funds that Harry got,they too could have turned Spurs around after our players had lost all respect for Ramos.
I am not saying that they would have qualified for the Champions league the following season but we wouldn't have been relegated.
DiMatteo has turned Chelsea around after AVB,anyone fancy him as our next manager?
Whilst i share the general concern of our recent slump and do realise Harry has made errors , i can't understand this wave of hostilty to a man that has by hook or crook given us the best team in decades,he must be given a little credit for what he has done FFS. he hasn't spent fortunes like is being portrayed and i think deserves a little more respect for where we are today.

The only way Alex McLeish could turn us around would be if it was directing our attacking players back to our own area to crowd out our own penalty area in the hope of squeezing out a nil-nil - WHL or not!
DiMatteo has turned Chelsea around, and a Chelsea with some apparent flaws, but certainly not as many as we had when 'Arry took over, and certainly a better team than we had when 'Arry took over. And he hasn't turned them around by having them play like 'Arry had us playing - on the contrary they have hardly deserved the good results they have had, and most of them have only occurred after being out played and then sneaking a very fluky goal, or due to incredibly bad and dodgy reffing decisions.
I said in the Summer that I thought it was ludicrous Chelsea hiring AVB - but I think he will have benefitted from his year in England, and would consider it, so long as no-one was expecting an overnight miracle form him. Does he have a clause in his contract disqualifying him from signing for another English club for a year, like Mourinho and Ancelotti had?
I don't think anyone is being hostile to Harry,I was a big fan of his when he first arrived and I think he is a delightful human being.
However he just isn't a good enough manager and his decision making is awful.
Drop Ramos out of the equation, and he's took us from 5th to 4th
Tongue and cheek, but there is an element of truth in it.
Nevertheless it was still a fantastic achievement, and we did very well in our debut season in the CL - class actually.
