Portsmouth, Preston, Sheff U, Blackburn to get to a FA cup semi final and we fucked it.

Saddest part about tonight for me - the realisation that we won’t see Kane , Son , Lloris pick up a cup for us , what an opportunity this was and we just let it pass us by without a whimper .

Given Sheff Utd largely sat in for the first hour of the game, you're a more optimistic man than me thinking we'd have broke them down!

I fear we'd have just got a load of shuffling the ball about and cross spam, as we do always in these situations. And left hoping Kane did something or maybe a set piece goal. Not convinced a full strength XI would have done much, sad to say.

Maybe you're right.

Nope. Don't agree. I find "fucking Levy....' is the a simplistic, reductive argument, when it's applied to every bloody issue we have, and often lets others off the hook.

Sometimes, just sometimes, it's NOT Levy, and I don't like him either. Unless you are seriously trying to persuade me you would prefer Sheff Utd's playing squad to ours, and on paper they had a stronger team due to lack of investment by Levy and the board?

Is Levy is a reason we didn't win Semi finals and finals under Poch, God Yes.
Is he's possibly the reason why are not playing better under Conte, and comfortably in the top 4., if he'd got him 2xCB's, Maybe - though I'm not 100% convinced of that. However - He should have at least got them to see if it worked, and didn't.

In short, Is Levy is an issue when he interferes with the playing side of transfers - yes.

Is the squad we have good enough to beat Sheffield Utd though - Yes, yes it is.

Todays specific issue was a shambolic, overconfident, arrogant team selection. We were on a pretty shaky run, and had just started to get a bit of confidence back beating Chelsea and West Ham. We then changed it, for what was, for me, our last chance to win anything all year, and probably burst that fragile bubble.

If you want to rotate start your best team, bring them off if you are winning, you have 5 bloody subs now ffs.

As if Conte and his team are rightly getting credit for a terrific performance against Chelsea, they should be getting palters for getting it wrong tonight, and the players that played were dog shit, and should be too.

You can think both the performance today is a manager and team issue, and think Levy holds us back from transitioning from a good team to an elite one - it's not a mutually exclusive, pick a side scenario.

Agree with all of that, but remember the targets Levy sets for Managers are solely about Top 4.

The board doesn't give a damn about Cups, and all our managers have prioritised accordingly.

Tonight was a massive game, and the players didn't seem to have a clue. 32 years since our last FA Cup.

On the morning of a PL or CL game are we putting out a Club announcement about Go Karting?

Not a chance. That says it all.

I couldn't give a damn about CL anymore. We're never going to win it and we'll end up resting players in the knock outs just to prioritise qualifying for it again.

All to collect our Group stage money and get knocked out of all the cups all over again.

What's the point?

I'm very annoyed at that team selection, but the bigger picture is we'll never get anywhere with Levy in charge.

Never.

Glad you can see I'm upset about the result with the caps locks emphasing it ?
But can anyone get players like Dier, Sanchez, Davies, PEH to to play better to have s better chance of winning
I think ENIC/Levy are a big part to play for not selling the dead wood that keeps letting us down.
Also should of backed Pochettino when he wanted a rebuild years ago.

Possibly. I understand your frustration. I'm not sure how it gets better. I remember when redknapp said its as good as it gets. It's a sad indictment that a club in the top 8 financially cannot compete.

Still, fuck off spurs I just want 1 moment in the sun. You can't even give me 5 minutes.

We're never going to win the Champions League or the Premier League, so the FA Cup and League Cup should be all we exist for, and we limp out of both to Forest and Sheff Utd. Last season is was Chelsea (over two dreadful legs) and Middlesbrough. All because we are fixated on getting top 4.

Serious lack of soul at this club and modern football in general. Nothing will change until we get a chairman who isn't obsessed with making money (tough ask I know).

I went to see Maidenhead vs. Yeovil last week in the National League and that was by far the most enjoyable 90 minutes I have watched in the last 3 years, and it was a bog standard league game. Both sets of players just going for it and looked like they were enjoying it. It was a pleasure to watch.

I am going to try and go along to Dulwich Hamlets this weekend. Just totally bored with Spurs and the Premier League at the moment.

Why is it everytime I'm out Spurs pull me back in to shit on me/us again ?
I really do fear our season is fizzing out now then Kane leaves and then the mess gets worse. Don't see much to be positive st the moment roll on Champions league next week ?

I live in hope.

I don't even give a shit about the banter nonsense.

I've done this for over 20 years, and there's a good chance that my dad will die before I can have one day with him where its a memory. 1 day, 90 minutes with a moment.

Yes, I'll have some games but one time where we see us lift something would be nice.

Toss up for worst player between Sanchez and Son.

It’s Son. Sanchez has played twice this year, but he was shit too.

That's fair - there are two arguments in play. I think that it's just an overall frustration and also if people do dislike the football and didn't like it under Nuno or Mourinho or are annoyed that Poch didn't get an opportunity to freshen up his squad then obviously Daniel Levy and ENIC do have to take responsibility for that.

Oh I 100% agree with that, and completely share that frustration. Not backing Poch was our sliding doors moment imo.

The football is of a brand that if you are winning, you grin and bear it as you can enjoy the success - but when we don't, it's just dull, we seem to often get played off the park. Overall, Levy Hires the managers, blame gets shared around everyone for the overall season if it's a failure, he's certainly not immune.

I just think beating lower league teams is a low bar, that we should be doing regardless.

How is Levy accountable for putting out a weakened team away to a depleted championship team in a competition that is winnable? That is complacency and arrogance from Management.

Mate you can say this once or twice. But multiple competitions each year over more than a decade of failure, the argument looks soft.
