The question of comfort is irrelevant - it is the results that matter. We had back to back home victories against Chelsea, back to home victories against Liverpool ( with the 4-0 victory being one of the best performances I have seen by us) beat Woolwich at home and won our first and only away win at the Emirates and beat City away to qualify for the CL. So actually we had a fairly decent record against these sides under Redknapp, we even managed to win back to back away victories at Old Trafford. So the notion that we were not positioned to win a cup game against such sides is completely false and and our league record against these sides has only improved since then but surprise surprise our cup record hasn't. That tells me that there is culture and mentality issue at the club.
Yes we were favorites for the Semi final last year, had a huge advantage of playing in Wembley that season and did the usual complete no show again which is becoming a pattern emerging with Pochettinho
Is that a joke? Patience? We have gone nearly the whole decade without winning anything this despite having two of our most talented sides in a generation in that time. What are we waiting for exactly? If inferior sides are winning FA Cups, UEFA Cups and League cups why shouldn't we? The delusion here is the belief that this team wont break up the reality is that you have to look at comparable clubs such as Dortmund and A Madrid to see that is not the case. We have been good enough to win silverware for 13 years, clubs like Sevilla and A Madrid have a won a combined 8 UEFA Cups in that time, a mediocre Woolwich side as 3 FA Cups to it's name and your solution is more time is required? Do you really believe some of the horseshit you come out with?
No one outside of Woolwich and Chelsea's supporter base gives a shit, I constantly have United supporters tell me how they want Spurs to win the league if they cannot and how they like our team (I have had many Liverpool supporters do the same). The reality is that few actually believe that we will anything - which stems from our continued failure to get over the line - most acknowledge we are a good side but the narrative is that this is still Spurs at the end of the day ( which we have done nothing to dispel).
We are not seen as a title rival, we are seen as part of the top 6 but only City and Liverpool are considered that this season. And we weren't considered that last season given that we finished 23 points behind City. The closest we got was a 7 point differential with Chelsea. Take Spurs away from this and no one would consider this a team that is challenging for the title. Apologies but I don't think I have ever come across a more delusional Spurs supporter as I have with you - it's a level of delusion that is only really seen with Liverpool supporters.
