Match Threads Spurs vs Manchester United - FA Cup Semi final Match Thread

[Deleted member 27995]

I'm not going to debate with people using a strawman as weak as that. It's like me bringing up the 1-0 loss to them on their patch earlier this season.

Did you ACTUALLY think they would be brushed aside today? FFS!

Nope, not brushed aside, but it’s becoming a bit of a theme. Games that really matter, we lose. It’s fucking tiresome.

Hope kills

It 100% matters imo.

Someone else knocked them out though, which meant we stood a better chance ( we’d have lost that night had it been us playing them as opposed to Wigan ) of winning the trophy.

If you say so, your eeyoh cloud is heavy tonight, I get it. Thank fuck bar the last week, we haven't been so bad.

We lost a game of football when we were on top for the first 25 minutes of the game. Not alot else to say.

So why did Wigan beat City?

It’s not everything! It makes it easier sure but our team right now, is plenty we’ll paid and financed to win a trophy!
Losing 8 semi finals in a row is not just down to money spent.
11v11 at 5:15 today had nothing to do with money. It was tactics, ability to perform and who wanted it more.

There'll be a day when you actually make sense in what you write, but based on the last sentence, it isn't going to be today. Were the mistakes made by Dembélé and the mis-control by Lukaku that led to their second due to a) tactics b) ability to perform c) who wanted it more d) some other bollocks?

We never used to get to games that matter. We were laughed at. No one says, "Lads, it's Tottenham" anymore.

They won the league and league cup ... I'm being told money doesn't matter, but only when it doesn't fit the narritive being made.

It's cool.

I’m not saying it doesn’t matter.

I’m saying a football club’s success is measured in the trophies they win.

Helps to be a global brand first old bean.

Also that lot down the road have just confirmed they are shipping their manager at the end of the season ... Poor bugger.

Good grief, how do you we'd have lost? And given that ManU and Chelsea were still in it, teams who've won the FA Cup more than City, by how much had our chances improved?

 

[TheLionKing]

No, that will not be the case. Ferguson doesn't make time for nearly men.

David Moyes?

Have you read the article by Rory Smith yet?

 

[hutchiniho]

I am fed up to the back teeth with this sort of gormless comment. What right do we have to have won a trophy by now? There's a complete lack of logic and yes you can just write what you like, but to paraphrase Harrison Ford, you don't have to read this crap.

You don’t think we should have won something over the last three seasons with the players and manager we have?
You don’t think we were more than capable of winning today?
No one has a right it has to be earnt.

 

[Sweetsman]

David Moyes?

Ferguson knew what he was handing him. Ferguson made the trip down to London to have lunch with Pochettino, I'm sure to try to get him to Man Utd. He's admired him for a long time.

 

[yiddopaul]

That's commercial success...I want the kind that keeps you warm inside whenever you think of it....I want to look at a trophy...not a spreadsheet.

That's infrastructure. It's a solid foundation to have, to hopefully give us long-term success. Takes time. Yes it will be in your words 'Commercial (financial) success', but isn't that what people are bitching about on here - paying players more?

Perhaps. Get the feeling big clubs enjoy seeing our name come out the hat as an opponent though. As Chiellini said, ‘Tottenham lose big games’

Still getting laughed at, just at a higher level. Compliment of sorts I guess!

 

[spud]

I hate it when teams are scared to play against us. You might expect it of relegation fodder, but Man Utd?

Mourinho: park the bus with nine behind the ball and lump it up to the big man. Tactical genius, my arse. Shitter.

We could have won things, but that doesn't mean we should. We were more than capable of winning today.
Your last point is not worth answering.

I must admit I thought we were going to win the Champions League this year based on our previous and long running tenure in it ...

City are better than Chelsea/United.

We’d have lost because it was a big team, in a knockout game. We haven’t won a fixture like that since the days of Crouch.

You mean the Chiellini of Juventus, who couldn't hold their shit together when they were on the cusp of besting Real?

Based on your logic, there’s no point turning up. Just give it to the team that’s won it the most.
And of course if the best team in the country is knocked out you have a better chance to win it. Hells bells
Would you rather have played city or Utd today. Or saints for that matter, let either Chelsea or Utd get knocked out and just have to play one of them not both.
