They are both correct.
All United, City and Chelsea talk about is spending 'big'. Their fans are not even ashamed of buying their trophies.
As happy as I was when Spurs won the league cup, I'm far more satisfied with this season, even if we finish second and with a bad European showing. I guess people want to downplay it since it's not winning the league, but in my eyes I'll be proud of our season and the way we have played regardless of what people say.
But you ain't won anything. Would you still look on this season with the same fondness if you finished 7th next year and trophyless again? Like I said, we've still had a better season than you.
I would, personal preference I guess, but second is better than 5th or whatever. We are playing better football than most teams in the league, and that matters a lot to me. And although we don't have a trophy it's still a good season for us in my mind. Winning trophies is great, but to be fair, some trophies weigh higher than others and I personally wouldn't trade for the league cup.
Maybe it would be different if I had supported United over the last 20 years, when finishing 2nd is nothing special. But for us, it is our highest ever PL finish, and doing it with a core of young players who we have helped develop or buy on the cheap is great in my eyes.
You've improved on last season, played great football and broken some of your own records. So yeah, I think it's a be a good season for you guys. Most of your players have improved as well and it's probably been a more challenging season than last year given you've had a few more injuries to contend with.Table never lies. It will also help your status as a club given that's back to back CL qualification.
I understand his thinking. It's something I've noticed speaking to older Utd fans who speak very fondly about Tommy Docherty and 70s United. A decade which saw relegation and only one FA Cup but a decade which had exhilarating football to watch, a new young team coming of age and the supporters fully enthused following Utd home and away.
As Utd fans we've been blessed under Fergie to have so many special occasions - FA Cup Finals, European Cup Finals, 13 league titles - but seeing those older Reds tell stories of what the history books will show as a barren era puts it all in perspective. Fans don't lift the trophies. They take home the memories and a full season of great performances and football that gets you off your seat is something you can reminisce about more just as much - if not more - than a day out at Wembley.
I was watching the game at a pub in Amsterdam, sitting with few Arsenal fans...What a game we played - I was grinning all the way. One irate Arsenal fan went crazy at Wenger after the 2nd goal. Then calmed down and said 'Look at Pochettino. The man shows passion on & off the field and is tactically sound. He treats everyone with respect and even as a Arsenal fan I have only respect for him. Its painful to see Spurs have him as a manager.'
Yaniiited fans make me laugh in their ageing, lob sided hole.
Reality - Better stadium, training facilities, higher attendance record and in London not shitty Manchester.
Next year probable 85k average attendances.
They really think they are Barca, RM and they are not.
Soon as we start matching their wages, players would come to us.
We're never going to able to match their wages, have you seen how much turnover they continue to generate.
Agreed, but to be fair a lot us (myself included) got sucked into the whole 'marquee signing' obsession too.
Buying top quality players that have a good chance of hitting the ground running does make sense, and most of us would love someone like Isco. Frankly I'm amazed we got Lloris and Eriksen, who were both considered stars before joining us. However, Pochettino has worked wonders by working with existing players and rebuilding the team with players like Alderweireld, Son, and Wanyama. He's put together a team, and got rid of the trouble makers. It's great to watch play out, and the sign of a talented manager. Jose and Pep are being found out as people who can only throw money around to try for success. Everyone raved about Pep being some sort of genius, but in all honesty he could have gone on holiday for a year when at Barca and Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi would have taken care of business.
For key players we certainly will - that's why we are tieing with NFL and building the monster.
Also, Most of their 'fans' would hop to the next cool thing given time and I bet never been to grimey Manchester.
Nothing fixed
