Sometimes this forum does remind me of an old Simpsons episode.It’s surprised me just how much of our supporter base has become like Liverpools. It’s always next year and always someone else’s fault.
But's that what you suggested though is it...you were asking for supporters to apply pressure to the club to get trophies...I'm asking how you're supposed to do that without looking like a cunt...
Jesus, just realised I'm probably going to have to write another article after this...

I’ll have to write one and watch Twitter absolutely explode when all of the real fanz heads explode.
Hood, re this post.
Would you have taken a LC or FA cup trophy over what we have achieved since Poch arrived? Im not being a smartass mate, I simply want to know.
As your your second paragraph, sorry it makes no sense. " Poch has nowhere to hide" ?
He was hunted by some of the biggest clubs in the world, was he not ? How is Poch ( as you later refer to ), related to the stadia project? Yet is was Poch that with a limited or no budget got this squad to a CL final, succeeded against great odds to secure again a top 4 finish, and has proven time and again that he gets it right more often than not.
I want silverware. I want trophies, we all do.
The Manager has delivered more than the occasional trophy. His decisions have led to where we are as at today, being able to sign quality talent, as a result of a combination of Poch's man management / and the clubs investment in facilities and a top level stadium.
Its a new era. It's been long coming. Yes, its been frustrating playing away from home, not signing players for 2 windows, not having the depth to go that extra mile when injuries hit, however, if anything since the CL final, Spurs are now perceived, as a major force.
Im sure you are a Spurs tragic, as we all are. Enjoy this period of growth and I am confident silverware will be delivered.
Why is the Hoods opinion so I'm palatable for some of you guys ?
I don't share his opinion at all but I can see how such opinions can be formed , as far as I can tell he's not abusive or particularly condescending.
You should write an article. We'll probably have a similar argument to this afterwards.
These are the facts - we have had one of the best teams in the league over the last five seasons and yet we are only the club in the top 6 on that time to have not won anything despite have the second highest cumulative points total in that period. When inferior sides have won multiple trophies and we have not questions should be asked.
As for Pochettino being hunted by the top clubs - which one? Where the official moves? And if you are taking about the likes of United and Madrid when given their standard of their managerial appointments in recent seasons that is hardly and accolade.
And can we please stop with this little Tottenham battling against the odds narrative please. We deserve to be in this position because of the players we have - many of which where here before Pochettino. We are largely in our current position due to the board and it’s strategy. As with Redknapp Pochettino is being massively overstated in truth he is the actual week link in the chain.
Seriously, what do you want us to be doing, I mean, do you want our fans to be like this prick?
I think the 6-0 and 5-0 hammerings had more to do with it...In the same way it is displayed when we play unattractive football it’s made known to the club that it’s unacceptable. AVB has one of the best win ratios as a Tottenham manager and yet the supporter base riled against it across a range of mediums ( and Levy even acknowledged this in his end of season notes at this time).
Tell why is the supporter unwilling to accept unattractive football and make it know but comfortable with the club entering its longest silverware drought since the ‘30s?
It’s crossed my mind but more of the Champions League and the falsehoods around it. The level of delusion that tournament elicits across supporter bases ( not just ours)
Nothing wrong with it....but when it's beaten over your head for the nth time it can get a tad wearying...Why is the Hoods opinion so I'm palatable for some of you guys ?

Yeah, within minutes of us breaking our transfer record, he was using it to put pressure on Pochettino...wasn't the first thing I thought about, I know that much...THIS... Plus, his refusal to enjoy/praise the upside to the Poch era..... Even the undeniable positives are framed (and only ackowledged when it suits him) in a way as to underline his negative viewpoint.
Yeah, I fucking hate reading about how people like our manager...makes me wish we had Neil Warnock instead...I take you also complain about the endless accolades levelled at Pochettino as well then? Im a drop in the ocean compared to that - you must take huge issue with that level of repetition.
