We are a million miles behind Arsenal...

[antlesh]

No you've post at a time where tempers are high, and you knew it would spark a reaction, you are a massive WUM.

The reaction I was hoping for wass to unite and start thinking realistically......

 

[Spursidol]

Pointless thread.

Even Arsenal fans would admit that Spurs were major competion this season. If Man City buy RvP as rumoured, Arsenal will have lost arguably their only top class player, causing themn a bigger problem than Spurs have if we lose any one of our top players

 

[greaves]

I disagree that we have a better starting 11.... We are stronger in x4 positions walker, Parker, bale and luka... Your other points are valid...

I'd think less about individual positions. The point surely is the team...

 

[fortworthspur]

16 years straight they've finished above us, right? 1 point, 20 points, who cares? they got it done.

 

[mpickard2087]

What the fuck are you hoping to achieve by posting this>?

 

[SirNiNyHotspur]

The only hope I have right now is I didn't have much hope for this season past and when we were 3rd in Jan talking about title it was fantastic, so if I can get proved wrong again and we can avoid the February on apocalypse who knows, that said I'm not a fan of ENIC and feel we will always have limited success under them.

you are a dick. we arent behind them at all, arsenal were just lucky to have van persie injury free this season, how many times this season did RvP score to win them their games? they are just lucky to have a good striker who takes most of the chances on goal when they are presented to him. something spurs have needed for a while.

Heartbroken! Gutted!

However I said this when we were still third and 7 points clear.... And I got absolutely tortured for it.....

However I am now going to reiterate my points again.

Arsenal have a loyal manager not one that pretty much pushed the self distract button on our season by forver saying it would be a honour to manage my country and will consider it.

Our stadium is half the size of theirs

We are not in champions league

Half our players are either out of contract ageing or no longer with us/leaving ... Ade, Brad, Parker, Saha, Nelesen, Modric, King, Gallas

So yes it is doom and gloom and yet again the glimmer of hope we had to sneak out of their shadows gets snatched away from us.....

For me the answer/solution is as follows!!

Let all the players that want to leave to leave, get rid of judas and his team bring in a team that are committed to the development of the club and build a squad around key quality players that we have like young walker set a 5 year plan to turn us around. Sick of Mr Redknapp and his plugging gaps with ageing players and his short sighted mentality......

no no no no, I think you have it wrong, we are one point away from arsenal. Brighten up, spurs fans don't always have to be perpetual loosers

 

[C0YS]

The reaction I was hoping for wass to unite and start thinking realistically......

Its clear that you're from the spurs fan branch which thinks so unrealistically that they actually enjoy the suffering being a spurs fan brings, by that account it makes this thread somewhat ironic.

The table does not lie.

Do people not comprehend arsenal had one of their worst PL season ever with major injuries, humiliating defeats and even the fans turning on the man that turned the club into a European name.

And they still finished above us.

How ? They have a philosophy a system and a long term manager who would go to the ends of the earth with them.

We have caught them in terms of starting Xi, squad .... Who knows Harry never uses the squad

I think you are right in regards to the manager and that is what we need. Do you think Harry has the credential to rebuild a club, because for me that is what we are going to need to do now.

I do really like Harry, and think he has done a great job. But I think that...managers and players come and go but THFC will always remain, and for me the gloves are off and Harry is not the man to take the club forward now. Harry is a problem solver, he goes in bish-bang-bosh tweaks it and points a club in the right direction.

For years now the club has had no real transfer strategy, I don't know who is to blame because even under Comolli (who's main job was transfer strategy) we still had that awful Berba/Keane/Fraizer Campbell fuck up.

The most important thing for me is how I feel about my club, and under Harry I get the impression that if Roy Hodgson dropped dead tomorrow (sorry Roy), Harry would take that job if offered in an instant. And thats so much uncertainty around the club. If Levy came tomorrow with a 5 year plan for the club would Harry give a toss? No. He dared to dream at West Ham and the club let him down by selling all the top players and since then I think Harry himself is very short-termist.

I don't want to keep coming back to Arsenal, but they are a good example. Having a club where the fans and players know the manager is 100% committed through thick and thin...this guy has turned down Madrid MORE than once, he has turned down his home city of Paris, he has turned down his nation of France.

And the result? A consistent transfer strategy and continuity that although is much maligned...has seen the club qualify for the CL 15+ straight years, whilst moving stadiums too. And think to yourself how many times have Arsenal not got out of the group stage?

Harry loves to create this illusion that he is doing an amazing job at a club that had 2points from 8 games, but you look at that squad and I guarantee if you put another english-speaking manager in charge with progressive ideas then you will get the same if not more. We have an excellent excellent squad and it is now going to be a huge summer to see if we can keep people.

 

[StartingPrice]

You don't know me and clearly have an issue expressing yourself.... I have a point that is backed up by facts!! on a 'forum' which is a place to discuss opinions.

If you had a point, we would have finished , like, 12th or 13th, about 20 points behind them, surely.
That is why you OP, and every subsequent one is dumb.

We finished one, incredibly narrow, point behind them - that is not being a million miles behind them.

I hope I have expressed myself sufficiently for you - though I would have to admit that, to me, someone who expresses the narrow margin between us and the Goons as them being a million miles better than us is indulging in hyperbole to such a degree (almost to the Nth degree, in fact) that commenting on another poster's powers of expression is something you should withold from, for shame.

 

[neogenisis]

If we are million miles behind it is only mentally, when the going got tough we shriveled and Arse kicked on and even though it was still very close at the end Arsenal did the bizz when it mattered most.

They didn't even do that, but for a truly perplexing goalkeeping performance on the last day of the season Arse would've bottled it, and at the key moment. Their mentality is definitely questionable, that team isn't blessed with many natural winners like some of the others were.

 

[neogenisis]

Maybe but for me they won games when it mattered the most at the correct end of the season, when we needed to kick on and make it safe we couldnt do it.

 

[$herringham]

And if we're a million miles behind Arsenal, I guess Chelsea are 5 million miles behind us and Liverpool are 17 million miles behind us. Great progress I'd say

Arsenal do seem to get some amazing luck on the last day. Half spurs team gets food poisoning when they almost finished 5th, and now goal keeper gifts them goals saying "here lads, take 3rd spot please"..... All part of being a spurs fan... Enjoy
