In 10 years time whats remembered.
I remember poch and its the best ive ever seem Tottenham be but other fans not so much . Let the scum celebrate their almost wins, i wont.
And they deliver the goods on the pitch of course.
The long and the short of it is that we simply have to get the right players in. I couldn't care less if they cost £5M or £100M. If they are the right players then get them.
- 2017/18 against Man Utd, who finished second in the league
- 2016/17 against Chelsea, who won the league
- 2011/12 against Chelsea
2009/10 against portsmouth with what I remember as a slippy pitch is probably the only one.
I don't know where 8 has come from unless you go back well into the previous century.
Our league cup finals since 2008 have been against Man Utd, Chelsea, and Man City. All at their peak powers.
I think you're mistaking over-performing in a lot of the above for "bottling" it. Even if we won that game against West Ham we'd have been level on points with Leicester. That Leicester who were on an unbeaten run and lost only 1 game in 2016 and 3 all season.
Not going unbeaten isn't "bottling" it - it's a complete misappropriation of the phrase, and belittles over-performing. If not going top of the league, and not winning a SF is 'bottling it', then all but one club 'bottles' it every season
Not least, it shits over one of the greatest phrases associated with the club:
It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. At Spurs we set our sights very high, so that even failure will have in it an echo of glory.
Reports that Thomas Frank and his coaching staff have been very impressed with Alejo Veliz in training and the thinking is he will be a key part of the Spurs squad this season.
100% to that sentimrnt, but much is about building confidence abd momentum.
I think that's what is required, partly driven by the actions of other clubs, rightly or wrongly.
I have long maintained that neither individuals and organisations don't and shouldn't always live up to their reputation
He’s an excellent player and has shown at his best how good he can be, thought he was immense in the euro run. Ok, consistency needs addressing and he can be guilty of a silly yellow but his natural skill set is excellent.
Let’s not forget he was out for 9months or so then another 3 almost immediately with injuries. Had a 7 game ban for being an idiot . All these stops don’t do anyone any good
Bit of toilet humour thereStan Bowels was shit mate
I couldn’t begin to contemplate following you around this site
I’d have to hand in my life
However for a first time you’re not totally wrong … it’s futile

I was at the WH away game at Upton Park in 2016 when we could have gone above Leicester.
I was in the WH fans as an imposter and the whole place was oddly tame.
All you do is follow these guys? The irony of you claiming you’re stalked by others. Every second post of yours is ah attempt to bully airfixx
We keep saying this
But I remember how shit we were when we won the league cup in 08.
I remember we were on the downward spiral.
I will remember forever how useless we were this season and what a shit final it was in so many regards.
It has been tainted.
Great that's our transfer window over then ....
It doesn't matter, we have had so many chances that we have pilfered.
Not saying we should have won all of them, but some of them.
The club's PR?
Mate...
If he won’t sign a new contract…just being a realist
