It's difficult to argue whether we should care about being booted from this cup because it's completely subjective as to whether you care about it. We all care about Spurs, but even Spurs don't completely care about this competition. We kind of half-care. We field a mixed bag. We half-fill the stadium. Other top clubs don't even go that far. There's a lot of evidence that this competition, and even to a certain extent, the FA Cup, are no longer valuable enough appease the majority of fans, the management, the media or to attract or keep players. So, it can be infuriating for those who care when those who don't say they don't, but our club values it less, thankfully, because we have our sights set higher, possibly because reaching those heights will do far more than multiple domestic cups would for those important things like appeasing the fans and retaining players. A domestic cup will be a nice moment for the squad to celebrate together, but let's just say I don't think that's what Harry's talking about when he says he wants to look back on his glory-filled career (Well, actually Harry's probably one of the few that would).

We've got a massive match in the title race in a few days, and then Real. This will genuinely be forgotten in the next few minutes for me.

On a "how can we turn this into a postive" note, it's an ego check in what is certainly the least important match of the season. And Dembele's back!

I think the FA Cup is still important because of the history and because it is the primary domestic cup competition. You don’t need two domestic cups, though.

But why don’t we see you when we win? And by the way I thought ‘mouthy piece of cunt’ was a delicious insult. I’m surprised you deleted it. You’re a special bloke John, but expect no support from me in future.

Hi Joe. I deleted that bit because I thought maybe your threat to punch my face in was out of character and perhaps I'd overreacted.
I do often post when we win. But my passion for Spurs means my natural instinct for using this forum is to vent my anger and dismay at abject performances like tonight. When we win I'm happy. And when I'm happy I don't feel the need to waste my time on here talking to you. When we lose, posting on here relieves my violent tension. There you go. As honest as I can be.

It’s like trip advisor, what kind of cunt logs in to say what a great meal they’ve had?

You use it to bury the cunts who have just made your evening miserable.

This place is trip advisor and Wembley is currently rocking a 2.5 star rating.

Would you just walk into a pub; rant, not buy a beer and then leave?

More how i see the 'profile' of posters in question.
