Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Hate to piss on the bonfire of a very good article...
...but unfortunately, modern football, Sky Sports, finishing 4th in the Premier League, Champions League priorities, and a win-at-all-costs mentality came along to ruin it for the rest of us!
 
Unfortunately, this the norm now. Getting into the CL is like winning the Carling Cup. Take the Scum. They havent won anything for 7 years, but Wenger's job is/was always safe because he always get CL football.

Ok, he is a bloody good manager, but would he still be in a job if he finished 6th for the last 7 years running?

Yea, but he hasnt won anything for 7 years. But the Woolwich board are happy just to have CL football for the last 7 years. That is my point. Not many chairman care too much about winning cups anymore. It's all about CL dosh.
 
But if CL qualification is their minimum requirement each year, then yes, he's been a success for pretty much the entire time he's been there!
Based on trophies alone, they've got a relatively poor (recent) return, and are pretty much living off the glory of 'The Incuntibles' a decade ago!
