Yes it’s another tournament I’d like us to win and the bonus of qualifying for the CL of course
Winning it in it's own right would be an incredible achievement. I do find it odd that some of our fans are now entitled enough to think we're above it. It's a very Premier League attitude.
No. I would love us to win domestic cups. I think we could make a better run at the FA without Europa League. Jose will be trying to create a new team and maybe fewer distractions might help. My opinion.
Lousy player recruitment going back to the summer of 2016, for which I hold Poch and Levy both accountable. Pochettino has a hideous eye for a player, IMO. Biggest mistake of all was probably promoting Poch from head coach to manager.
'Defence'.......and.....'spastic'.....really??Hairy’s Post Match Thoughts
1. More ineptitude on offense. Can’t blame defense with a clean sheet. Granted Watford are an improved side lately, but one would expect all 3 away to a relegation team. Can’t say I’d put this on being Kaneless either.
2. Passing remains disjointed, spastic, and difficult to watch. To me it looks like we’re either passing way too soon, not allowing the run off the ball to develop, or way too late not seeing the early runs. Hit and hope.
3. Why is Eriksen playing?
4. Liked what I saw from Fernandes. He big and fast with decent foot skills.
5. Son, Lamela, Lucas, LeCelso, all show good energy, just not getting the proper end result.
6. We’re a world class middle third team, but suffer immensely from ”boxiphobia” once in the final third. Dele is the champion of this disease.
7. Nice save from Gaz, he needs a confidence boost.
8. Thought Tanganga did OK, not understanding why he’s getting so much stick.
9. Fuck goal line technology

I went to both Slavia Prague games. Lovely city. Froze my balls off though.
Least their popcorn was only 75p.
I think this is a word that doesn’t have the Offensive qualities that it does in the U.K. over the pond.
Get in it and win the fucker.... Let's not act all billy big bollocks about it.

EL is surely more prestigious than the FA or LC?
Because he was being skinned over and over again by Saar.
Why can't we play players in the positions they were brought up to play in, coached in and played a thousand times in? (Before you start quoting those that have been a success transitioning to a new position - most don't) . Whatever Tanganga is, he isn't a left back.
Brainless tactics and play. Moura as a false 9 who had to contend with balls coming down from the sky with snow on and the Watford giants at CB. Not a hope!
Lots of rose-tinted views here. No-one had even a reasonably good game. There was universal terribleness (as there has been for months).
Oh and they missed a penalty!
The job of rebuilding this team is monumental and will take several windows and several hundred million pounds.
Additionally, I'm not sure Kane will want to play in a mid-table side for whom Everton, West Ham and Wolves are competition.
Today was the first match in ages that I haven’t watched live. Opinions would indicate that wasn’t an unfortunate position.
I do think we need to hang in there. It’s not quite coming together but, apart from Redknapp, it rarely does too quickly with a new manager.
This Mou episode reminds me a bit of Poch’s first season. We’ve got a decent set of young minds and experience in Mou’s backroom staff, and it will take time to land the messages - and recruit the talent.
Mou needs our backing 100% IMHO. We will not find a better management team anywhere right now. We can grow and evolve together, but we have to accept that this season is an “anything positive is a huge bonus” season.
A point at Watford right now is OK. Not great. Not a disaster. Things will click and new players are coming through.
Keep the faith.
COYS.

Because it's an awful competition that forces you to play Thursdays and Sundays ,and travel to and from places like Azerbaijan and Outer Mongolia.
We been there before!
Kane isn't quite the same player in terms of where he wants to play on the pitch. Neither for that matter is Sonny. The former is probably more permanent than the latter.
When ENIC eventually cash in on Kane, which I am certain they will if he wishes to leave because of the lack of ambition shown by the owners, it will be justified by his recent record of injuries and some of the money will be reinvested as to make people feel better about it.
Make no mistake, without Kane we will be significantly weaker, I don't think many clubs in world football would turn down Kane coming to them, if any.
