Good grief.There is no argument to win.
Even your boy is against you in this regard.
And you're floundering.
Show me a trophy.3rd in the League, Champions League knockout stages, Cup semi-final...in as single season...is going backwards?
Christ, the new age fans are the worst.
Before you started supporting this club, I watched us lose 6-1 to Bolton.
Fucking backwards he says.
We have to stop looking to the 90s as an excuse it's gone on too long now.3rd in the League, Champions League knockout stages, Cup semi-final...in as single season...is going backwards?

That's by no means the only measure of progress. Especially for a club in our position.Show me a trophy.
The commentator in the first stream I watched picked up on this. I didn't see him out of his seat for the entire match. I did miss 15 mins at the end of the first half due to stream down. I made a note to keep looking to see if he did get up but cannot recall it happening. I was primarily focused on the game so may have missed if he did. So apologies if i'm wrong.The club doesn't want to win domestic cups. Domestic cups would not make us "big". The club wants to win league and international trophies.
Poch not managing to motivate this team tonight makes it pretty clear he doesn't give a shit about the FA cup
We aren't going backwards.We have to stop looking to the 90s as an excuse it's gone on too long now.
No one can defend 10 years without a trophy for a club with out funds and size.
"The mess we have now has its roots last summer. The vast majority of Spurs fans know this"I stand by my opinions last summer.
37 injuries and the sale of Dembele later though, I’ve changed my view.
And?
You think we’re gonna win either? Seasons over
Advancing in the champions league? We may not win it, but winning knockout rounds against the best clubs in the world is a huge accomplishment.Top 4 trophy is the only realistic goal left now
Spurs of 90s won 2 trophies!! And we were really shite then!We have to stop looking to the 90s as an excuse it's gone on too long now.

...and therein lies the problem... well, it's Levy's problem... but worryingly not his concern.Winning domestic trophies matters to the really small clubs for whom it's a huge deal to have any excitement, or to the really big clubs for whom collecting trophies is part of building their aura and dynasty. We are neither. We are growing our business and brand, trying to become one of the really big clubs, and we need money more than anything. That's the truth of it.
Yeah because we have attracted loads of top talent the last few years from being in the top 4 ....Spot on- winning the Carabao cup is not going to suddenly mean we will attract the top talent to sign for the club.
Clearly the priority is to get top 4 every year, whether the fans like it or not.

And?
We’ve won fuck all for ages, I don’t understand this mentality of being snobbish to a TrophyOh yeah the thrilling FA cup is more important than league and champions league.
Can you tell me where in that comment I said we are going backwards?We aren't going backwards.
