He calls the Carling cup paltry while lauding an era that won it, and one single FA Cup 8 years previously, played in Europe for five minutes, nearly went bankrupt and finished 15th three times, 14th, 11th, 10th and highest position was 8th. Nearly relegated three times but it was blinding because we had one good player.

REMEMBER WHEN WE BOUGHT KLINSMANN?!?
Yes, John...but he played with Justin Edinburgh, Stuart Nethercott, Jason Cundy and David Kerslake.
It's fair to say there are a lot of factors that go into "success" at a football club.
But I don't think it's fair to say that a completely barren trophy cabinet doesn't begin to dominate that calculation after awhile.
Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham are, by a country mile at this point, the greatest English team never to win major honors. That's a shitty thing to be, even though we've had to be very very good to earn that moniker.
(I guess Klopp's Liverpool are coming up from behind for that title, but if they can't hold off City I don't think they're there quite yet)
It’s really come to this mate.....he’s actually holding up the 90s as preferable to now.
Then says Rabiot should prefer us to Liverpool
I think they should have won a domestic cup by now.
But if you think I’m going to say it was better in the ten years prior to ENIC because we bought Klinsmann then you should be in an asylum
OK, you're a footballer with no ties to both and both Liverpool & Tottenham come in for you, same money, same amount of likeability for the managers etc etc, 9 times out of 10 who would a footballer with no bias choose if on paper everything matches up financially, all the other stuff that goes along with it?
As for the wage structure, we are building a poxy stadium I honestly cannot believe how many fully grown adults don't get the concept of its cost. We've never spent big on wages because we haven't got the revenue streams other teams we compete with have. It goes hand in hand unless you want the club to act recklessly. Shirt sales, commercial exposure, all the other stuff that goes along with it surpasses us AND we have to find £1bn from somewhere to pay for a new ground.
I really do think a lot of our fans expect far too much too soon from our football club. Four years ago when Pochettino took over anyone that wouldn't have snapped your hand off at 3 Chanpions Leagues in a row, a fourth on the horizon, a cup final, 4 semi finals against Sheffield United, Chelsea twice and Manchester United would have been absolutely insane not to take that all the way to the bank.
We can't pay the wages teams richer than us can, even without the stadium to pay off so why do people expect it to be any different in the midst of committing the largest debt not only in our history but world football at present? Madness
Did you read the headline of the article John quoted? Do you even read the posts you respond to
Entitled newgen brats.
So Spurs are more attractive?
What’s the problem then
For some people the desire to see Levy fail is greater than the desire to see Spurs succeed.
Certainly not, though that's a bit of fun with selected endpoints.
We weren't as strong of a league side or even as good of a team generally from, say 87-91 than the past four or five seasons, but you would be tempted to trade this era for that one, right?
Gazza et al, lifting the cup and not having to play any home games in Milton Keynes.
Or in some cases for Spurs to lose to prove a point.
Some people are just easily rattled.
No I wouldn’t swap this era for one FA Cup win and financial meltdown.
This era has just started.....I’m wet at the thought of this club after five years in the new gaff.
If people want Mitchell Thomas and Paul Walsh back, then great
For some the desire to support the owners is greater than the desire to support the football team.
Can you get your nose any deeper in his arse hole?
Says the guy who only turns up after losses.
Were gonna need a bigger boat..........
