Is it time to stop worrying about the league and concentrate on the glory a cup victory can bring? As things stand, Will Colwell is tired of aiming for “4th best” and wants us to focus our efforts elsewhere.

Pretty much what I was saying at the start of the season, I wanna see silverware and the Lge Cup is a major trophy, albeit the most minor of the 5 on offer. (Realistically for us there's only 3 this season, and pretty much any season in the Prem era).
League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup in a season would be a hell of a treble.
I think as log as we are not in a relegation fight it's fine I would take 15th if it meant winning the league cup and Europa league.
The Capital One Cup is possible, because many teams don't care about it. The Europa League gets very competitive in the final stages, so I can't see us doing anything there.
No, I don't think we're good enough to win the Europa, but the League cup is well on now.
Lets just start by winning the next game, then win the following game..... Sorry to say the obvious. Many of us would remember "Bull Durham" - i'm just happy to be here, just gonna take it one game at a time.... Stay in the mix for as many competitions as we can.
I want the League, EL, FA and League Cups.
Take that Daily Mail up the ar$e.

I couldnt give two fucks about coming 4th, said it for ages... History doesnt remember who was 4th best. Or even 2nd. Im all for the cups, preferably the FA Cup. The obsession with coming 4th is the result of the modern game and the money that comes with it. Id love us to get in the Champs League, of course, but realistically that ship sailed when Levy failed to back Redknapp when he needed players, and then AVB as well.
The whole economics of it though a few top 4 places and the money can fund more players and we can attract more as well. But I agree I'm more about the cups, a trip to wembley and the glory than top 4 myself.
Ok let's win a. Cup...
That's that sorted then

My history with Spurs has always been as a Cup side. My best memories are mostly to do with the FA Cup, it is still worth winning and it does have magic about it that other cup competitions simply cannot match. Although I really enjoyed our sojourn in the Champions League, maybe it has created an unrealistic expectations. Mid-table and any Cup victory would do me.
i've been thinking about it aswell. The league cup will be fun this year as us and liverpool are going to prioritize it. Would love it if we beat them in the final
My earliest and best memories of spurs are cup runs with spurs.Thats when I use to go regularly when I was a kid.
We should rekindle this flame and embrace it.
I didn't go for many years and my first game was last year against hull and was shocked by the negativity of those around although stuck in the west stand granted.
I feel we really should take the cups really seriously and some of these players should watch re runs of old cup runs and see what it means to the real fan.
Really enjoyed the Brighton game and priority for me is 1882 cup games and really get behind the team.Well done team.

The Champions league has almost become what the FA cup used to be in terms of the status and meaning attached to it, where as the FA Cup is now like what the Coca Cola Cup used to be. I'd like to see the magic return to our homegrown competitions especially the FA Cup and see this incredible obsession with Champions league and its money bugger off!
