Ok, just to fill you in. You can only be Spurs if you lament the passing of the Kangaroo cup like the death of a close family member. It has been pointed out to me that I’m as Spurs as Piers Morgan, and I’m certainly not fit to comment on our priorities or aspirations. This place is a cruel parish and I’m not going to stand in anybody’s way any longer. We are hopelessly shit and beating Manchester Utd and Real Madrid won’t paper over the cracks - we’re finished.

Cheers.
I've just been reading back. 32 pages in an hour and a half! I shit you not.

Things I have noticed so far.
Our resident Man U muppet is deciding who is Spurs enough.
Smoked Salmon Smoked Salmon has joined the ranks of old farts. (Congrats btw and watch out for those "sleeping injuries")
And of course every player is either shite or not shite depending if the post count is odd or even.

I actually feel really sorry for Sissoko. Scored a great goal that will never be remembered :(

2:50am, ugly wife in bed, just before you knock one out to some granny porn you think I know I'll log onto a forum of an infinitely superior team to say you beat us? Nice one son

We have a world class stadium and squad being built, you are a joke and you have already had the highlight of your season, enjoy that rented stadium prick, go home get your fucking shinebox

No, it’s not necessarily good, but football has changed. Poch wasn’t hired to win the kangaroo cup. He was hired to raise our profile in the wider footballing world with high league finishes and exposure in the CL. The fact that we’ve remained super competitive whilst building a billion pound stadium and training facility is something I never thought possible.

Hold on there a mo Tonto.

Correct me if i am wrong but isn't football all about actually winning things? If it's about building billion pound stadiums and remaining super competitive (whatever the fuck that means, possibly words meaning did not win anything but looked fucking good trying) then shouldn't we be supporting Barratts or Taylor Wimpey? They are rated number one and two house builders in the UK after all?

We all joke around about Woolwich going down the shitter, but do you realise how many trophies they have won over the past three seasons? Four. Oh and they have a nearly new stadium, and training facilities as well.

I say let's win one, something, anything to start a bit of momentum, because i'd take that right now rather than being known as the almost club. And people in here wonder why the fuck Walker wanted out.

Just to put things into a bit of perspective while most of you are asleep, I watched Son's Korean teammate Ki Sung Yong help Swansea win the League Cup a couple years back. It was glorious yes, but don't tell me that any Swans fan wouldn't trade that trophy and their mother to switch places with Spurs right now, both in terms of table position and direction of the club overall. West Ham wouldn't be far behind with maybe a sister to sweeten the deal.

Maybe it's because I'm an outsider (a plastic, I know) but don't take what you have right now for granted. A young squad on the ascendancy with no primadonnas, a manager with a long-term vision and the backing of the board, these are ingredients rarely found nowadays. To top it all off it's not some project for the future but you guys are going toe to toe with the big boys right now. Let the West Ham fans talk their shit because they're probably getting relegated and then all they'll have is their history and that one movie with Frodo, while Spurs are building a foundation for the future.

Come on seriously? Laughing at us, when your's is an abomination. Drugs or bumped your head?
Um, how is your Champion's league campaign going?
No shit, that's right, you'll never be in it. Remember last season? We finished just the 42 points clear of you.
Take all the potshots you like...
So. We only had more than double the points you lot need to be clear of the drop zone, you funny cunt.

Well done you beat us, enjoy it, hope it keeps you warm as you fight the drop.

You can't compare our bunch of no-hopers in '99 or a squad managed by Juande Ramos in '08 to what we have now. We have a project right now that needs trophies to take the players and our manager to a whole new level. Who is talking about convincing our players to stay? Players leave clubs regardless of trophies. If a player leaves, we replace them. Why does winning the league cup correlate to fucking up in the league and Champions League?

It doesn't - the point is fuck up the league and CL and win the LC, no one will care and it will have no positive impact. Do well in the league and CL and no one will care about crashing out of the LC. It's got no benefit, other than being able to say Spurs won a trophy and wait for the snickers.

Since we won it in 08 only 2 clubs have won the LC and followed it with winning the league (at any point since winning the LC) - Ferguson's United who were peerless experienced repetitive champions, and Chelsea won the LC/League double and the following season they revolted on Mourinho, flirted with relegation, then capitalised the following season with a blood money loaded club free of European fixtures. Spare me the LC as a springboard for success - it hasn't launched anyone anywhere, and wouldn't do it for this Spurs team either.

At best it's a footnote, at worst a LC run is a squad burdening fixture clogging point stealer.

The reason they try to laugh at us after the odd win here and there is because that is All They have..
They can't laugh at us about league positions ( 41 points ahead of them last season ) about the same this season.
They can't laugh at us about trophies won because they have 4 and we have 17. they haven't won one for 37 years.
They can't laugh at us about a stadium, because they don't have one and the one they borrowed is an absolute joke where as we are close to completing a state of the art FOOTBALL stadium which we own.
They can't laugh at us about having players in the England team because we regularLy have 5 and their captain or any other player can't get in.
They can't laugh at us about owners because we have an astute business man and they have the 3 most laughed at people in football ( one of which pays women to piss on him)
They can't laugh at us about the future because we have one and they don't.
They can't laugh at us about champions league because we play in it and they don't.
They can't even get past Astra Goo Goo in a qualifier they were handed to due to getting less bookings than anyone else.
They can't laugh at us for being relegated because they go down more times than Sullivan's mrs in the showers after a game.

So you see, winning a game in a competition that is very low on most clubs priorities is literally ALL they have and just proves where they are as a club.
