Unfortunately,, it looks like we are starting to implde. Our last three performances have been awful to watch. Harry Kane has nott been fit, it shows in every game he has played since he camee back from his injury. We have a strong fifteen / sixteen squad, the rest are finge players. For us to succeed we need a twenty two squad ,i n other words, more invesdtment into the squad that I cannot see happening with Levy and ENIC at the helm. Once we have hopefully new owner/s who are willing to invest more into the squad then we will see glory anf trophies. Ten years have now passed and we are still waiting for us to see some glory.. We were second best today, especially in the second half. How much longer will Poch stay once he knows that we at present are limited for any success.

I agree but it counts for little if there's nothing to show for it...Real Madrid are still in CPL and we are out....WBA worked out how to beat Man Utd last week. but they are still probably getting relegated.....
I just think he has took the team to where he can and winning a major trophy is perhaps a bridge too far for him....I want to see this club actually win something again before I depart this earth....I'm tired of 'projects' and 'potential'....sorry to sound negative but today absolutely gutted me.

Yes - we are successful.
Top notch and revenue generating training centre, probably one of the best stadiums and again revenue generating with multi murpose. Turnover in top 10 in world football.
Winning the FA cup or league cup don’t change that.

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.
I’d swap all that for what Leicester did

The whole point of building training centres, stadiums and building the income streams is so that you win trophies.
What player is going to play out a career at Tottenham, win FA, but said it doesn’t matter I had a lovely pitch totrain and play on?
A club’s success is measured in silverware.
Us in the 60s, Liverpool in the 80s, Utd 90s, City this season. Trophies, not a mention of profitability in sight.
Winning trophies changes everything.

So does money, what's your point?
We worked out how to beat ManU and have done the same for Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea. I have loved the progress made by the club. Yes, it hurts, and we've had a number of hurts this season, but Pochettino has brought me great joy watching this team grow. I think if we make it to the top four then it would have been a pretty good season, especially as it is at Wembley.

I thought it was pretty obvious.
Winning trophies is the whole point of playing football.
Winning .
Money and facilities don’t go down in any record books. An FA cup win in 91 does.
8 semi defeats is an appalling record since.
For the fans and the players this season was about winning a trophy.

Not when it really mattered today.
We should have won a trophy by now, with this manager and these players.
4th was surely only half the target this season.

Was it?
Money affects/effects all things football related. City didn't just win the league because ... Did they?

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.
They didn’t win th FA Cup though. They actually lost to Wigan.
We lost as soon as things heated up, against a team we brushed aside only a few weeks ago.

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.

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