But people still say spending big is a waste of time BUT the reason those teams did better than us is because they spent big.

Mate, to be fair we have made many semis, and lost three or four league cup finals in that time.
At least he is consistent in this regard. Not what supporters want to hear right now, though.
All the elite teams have ego’s, that’s why they are winners because they believe they can win
That’s a really shit comment. A poor excuse for him throwing the cups...
I wonder if certain others will be able to criticise these comments
The team is built around Kane’s unique skillet - very few players can do what Kane does (scoring, passing, hold up play, and so on). Almost anyone else coming in is going to look shit because they aren’t Kane and it disrupts he the team attacks because of it. May as well buy a young up and coming talent or just have youth players on the bench.
Agree, not saying he should be two faced on the matter. Just wondering why he brought it up at all. May have been how the question was framed.
Also, 6-2 away games Everton Eriksen played 90 minutes Son played 80 when we had the game sewn up by minute 60.
Bournemouth 5-0. 3-0 after what 30 minutes, game tied up after 60 at 4-0 yet Son played until 88 minutes, Eriksen until 84 minutes.
Tranmere away, Son substituted 65 minutes with the game 4-0. Why not 10 minutes earlier when the game is clearly done?
Cardiff 3-0, Eriksen played the WHOLE GAME, Sonny played 76 minutes when the game apwas done 25 minutes in.
Genuinely what's the point if you know you have big games coming up, that injuries can happen when the sport scientists must know when fatigue could and will set in.
To my calculations Eriksen played 30 minutes more at Everton than he should have, 45 minutes more vs Bournemouth, 45 minutes more than he should have at Cardiff & Sonny 30 minutes more at Everton than need be, 45 against Bournemouth, 10 minutes more than he needed to at Tranmere & 45 minutes more than required at Cardiff.
How you can keep them on a field when you're 3-0, 4-0 up yet say one or both are knackered at the moment is absolutely insane man management. I love Pochettino but fuck me for both to be tired when in total both played 120 minutes & 130 minutes more than need be when smacking teams I just can't fathom
Agree with this. Still would give my left nut for one though.
Woolwich won a lot of FA Cups while on a downward spiral.
Better finish in the top 4 then.
What did Liverpool win?
....All them players extending their contracts for less money and no prospects?
How do we boost our spending power further?
Finish top 4 regularly and increase matchday and commercial revenues.
If peeps find that "unacceptable"; it's time they started lobbying the bodies that control the game...

And as I went on to say, again and again and again and again, because unlike you, I haven't changed my opinion one fucking iota, that ONE player (a new Dembele for recent fans of this series) was the utmost priority. If we only signed one, we should have signed him. At the time, you vocally disagreed, and often, to lots of people saying the same thing.
Do you understand what priority means? That others can and should come after?
Remember you disagreed then that we should make signings. Then later, against United, when it wasn't clear what Sissoko's or Kane's injury were, again, I said the the priority was a midfielder (understood here clearly that if we were to sign Isco AND Icardi, I wouldn't be too annoyed, y'feelme?). And you thought it would be cool to call me a cunt for prioritising (a) over (b).
And now I'm once again on the wrong side of the "strengthen squad argument", as I say without waverin.
(1) We need to sign a new Dembele
(2) We need striker cover
(3) We need to rethink our recruitment process
(4) We need more transparency, in general
I don't know, but I'll have an honest guess for you. Maybe he's not too crazy about our squad players. Maybe the drop-off in quality is too steep.
now thats it got champions league qualification, people are seeing it as a proper cup again.
the poopoo ing of the UEFA in the past was, I feel, a mainly english thing
The league cup in 2012.
This year? Fuck all. And I doubt they will - they practically sprinted out of the cups because they think they can win the league. Gonna look real fucking dumb if they don’t.
