It's slightly more pallitable to compare us to Liverpool....
They lost the 2018 CL FINAL, then regrouped, strengthening in key areas, came back stronger and won the CL the following season... THAT'S the way to build on narrowly missing out.
WE were effectively in Liverpool's position in 2019, having lost that CL FINAL.... yet we failed to build on our near miss, and if anything, went backwards!
That just doesn't happen if you have true ambition and a win at all costs mentality!
It fucking hurts to realise the reality....
City have been playing a back four of four centre backs on occasion, they have more centre backs in their starting XI than we have in our entire squad.
Of course we have made some great signings. Not all of them were a result of going big though. That's the point..
It was the inclusion of Danny Rose in the list that completely baffled me.
Please just let this happen.
if they're paying his full wages just accept it and move on, not a single minute in asia. And he didnt look injuried to me as he was in fulltraining with the group inbetween games, just not wanted
100%.
I think an even better comparison however, it could be argued, was when we finished second in 16/17. Our team was close to their peak, all we needed was a little push in one or two key areas.
What transpired? We didn’t make one signing, not ONE, that strengthened our first team. Absolutely staggering looking back on it now.
Compare that to how Woolwich have reacted this summer to finishing second.
Chalk and cheese stuff, and it sickens me to the core.
Shocking wasn't it, and yet it looks like we are starting the season with it.
If there's anything moronic going on; it's just the simple fact that a basic and factual contradiction can't be made without it spiraling into being cast as something entirely different.
I've spun NOTHING. NOTHING.
Woolwich have spent more than us so far this summer. Also fact; one which has not been denied.
People making false claims (intentionally or otherwise) about their prior spending deserve to be set straight; whatever their motivation.
If that offends you and leaves you needing to result to name-calling; then that's your own fucking issue.
Won't happen. Piers Morgan will see to that.Just wait till they do a Leeds though
!
Both sound about right to me.
I've also remembered this was the summer we "tried" and failed to get sadio mane over a wage dispute despite poch having a prior relationship with him at Southampton
The rise of Sadio Mane, Tottenham's one that got away
Pochettino got as far as taking the Senegalese around the club's Enfield training ground in 2016 before he ultimately chose Anfield. This weekend he'll face them in the Champions League final

Imagine an attack of son, kane and mane!!
I think the "we tried but failed" should be the new club motto, replacing the old motto on the club shirts etc.Both sound about right to me.

It seems very fitting, unlike some of the shirts
Vast majority sounds like hyperbolic revisionism.
we have signed a number of duds, we also signed some incredible players whos names you have sung and waxed lyrical about and given you the best Spurs team you would have seen for years upon years, silverware aside.
Why must people change facts and history because they are frustrated?
Yea I saw that :02 clip and immediately came to the same conclusion
I have to admit if we don't get a whiff of movement on a CB this week I'm gonna melt big time.
The scathing verdicts on his time at Napoli are starting to surface too....... Despite some quarters insisting that his time there must have gone well cos he's a champ.
Tapsoba, who was hailed as "dangerous", could set Spurs back £42.5m, something which has been perceived as one of the reasons why the deal has struggled to advance quickly.
However, despite a lack of recent updates in the media, transfer expert Romano insists that a deal is still "absolutely on" and that the Lilywhites are "still working" on making the transfer happen this window.
FFS just pay the fee.
