I forgot they won back to back FACups, but that may make this season worse because they should be winning the title. It is their best chance.
Oh, I get it, I really do - we are all going to be slightly peeved if Leicester pip us to the title. I mean, for the first time in forever we finally get a genuine sniff at the title, with most of the usual suspects having really poor seasons - and a club of the level, no offence to them, that even challenging for the title is a once in a hundred years freak occurrence. I even get where some of them are coming from if they truly believe that his time is passed.
What I don't get, reading that thread, is the shear level and volume of vitriol poured ol' Whingers head. They seem to hate him more than any spurs fan ever did. I honestly believe, if we were in exactly the same situation, if Poch is at the Lane as long as the Whinger has been a Goon, and if he wins us as many trophies as Whinger won them, I would be the first one organising a whip round for a 'fans appreciation of everything he has done for us' present. The fact that he might have tailed off a bit (in his ability to get us over the finish line in the league...ignoring the two F.A. Cups in two years for a moment) would be neither here nor there. I wouldn't hate him for it, I wouldn't feel pure fury at him. I would be grateful. When he took over them, they were pretty comparable to us - in terms of level trophies won. He is leaving them with quite a trophy gap over us...and they are pouring abuse on his poor befuddled can't handle his coat zip head...WTseriousF?
