Yeah it’s a shame as he has the ability , trouble is I guess for some people it’s more about the money ?
well played and thoroughly agree... only modern fans who don't realise the history of the UEFA cup call it second rate because to them, the media driven finishing 4th has always been better than the fan driven lifting silverware. I got no joy finishing 2nd or 4th but watching my 18 year son experience first hand Spurs lifting a trophy and visibly struggling to contain the tears of joy will forever trump any 2nd, 3rd or 4th place finish.Second tier cup, my dog's hole.
If it were down to me I'd make it a perma-bannable offence to belittle our European glory. As it is, I'll just have to use the block function. Now away with you.

My glass is half full, and I really enjoy supporting Spurs. I am really excited to watch an attack that has players like Xavi, Muani, Kudus joining it! Life is great!
WTAF has losing games in a domestic competition go to do with winning a European trophy
?Why would any Spurs fan use the winning of any trophy (never mind the biggest trophy we have ever won) as a weapon
to mock and denigrate?So what if it's second to the CL we haven't won that either ffs!
You like a bit of Math hey what? Try this one for size....out of the 25 times the EL has been competed for only 8 times has the team dropping down from the CL been successful which kills stone dead the idea that the comp has in any way become weaker.
In any case it was never (imo) right that the 3rd placed CL teams could drop down to benefit from failure since the new format in both comps has put paid to it happening by removing the groups format.

All good points. I don’t have a way to fix it.
Even though it is a capitalist sport, capitalism fails without regulation as the wealthy just have an easier path to more wealth and eventually the inequality can’t be overcome.
The PSR rules by UEFA are a start and at least they are limiting teams like Villa and Chelsea, who are trying to buy success without the revenue to sustain it.
In retrospect, spunking near 150m on Sessegnon, Lo Celso, and Ndombele is a sackable offence in its own right.
But there wasn't a timeline where hanging on to Poch any longer was going to change a thing. You could tell the club wanted it to work out but it was going the exact same way as Ange, minus actually winning something - team looking hopeless week in week out.
Still think it was a mistake to sack Poch.
Should have committed to the rebuild. Instead they longed it out with Jose and Conte.
Ange probably did more than anyone to accelerate the rebuild because he was willing to work with teenagers.
I can agree that even if we owe him big time for the EL and minutes given to kids last year, it was time for Ange to go but I still think sacking Poch for Jose was Levy’s hubris.
Grow up big baby..its just an opinion, just because levy bought you some some shiny new players to suck off, that doesn't mean that he and the club should get away with again leaving us short...
We signed 2 players on loan, I'm assuming so we had more money to actually spend to fill the squad out...but no they fucked that up again...
Round and round in circles every transfer window..
We have needed a backup left back for about 3 seasons now, and a decent left sided player was obvious as soon as son left.
Mark my words, we are one or two injuries away from being in the shit again and struggling to ply 2 games a week...
But you just blindly follow and love what they do, which is the same shit every window...
We buy the bare minimum and never actually take a step forward, we just stay where we are, getting left behind year after year..not so long ago we finished above Woolwich for i think it was 5 seasons..well they fought back and acted like a big cub and look where they are, whilst we were happy to barely be above them and that was enough.
Too long didn’t read.
Look where they are? Trophyless?
Dumbass.
I think at the time he did what a lot of us were thinking, quite rightly - that squad was good enough to win things, and should have. Every final was bodged in one way or another.
The misfortune with Jose was him coming in just prior to a huge once-in-a-century like event that meant we couldn't really push on, having been crippled by the financial impact shite 2019 summer signings, coupled with the economic impact of no crowds in a big new stadium.
In a timeline without COVID, we'd have been such a different team under Jose.

I think a start for smaller teams on the continent would be to demand a fairer split of their TV money. All the lopsidedness kills their long term hopes of finding and keeping good players, and in the long term, the quality of the league declines.
I think it’s a decent signing that fills a big hole in our squad in a low risk way . Having said all that not sure how it gets in the top 20
It's because The Athletic is run by a bunch of failed wannabe journalists.
Could also be "New father has a shocker after getting fuck all sleep and can't get within a Marinakos of shagging his missus"
Was 100% the right thing to do.
I don’t know if you are genuinely smoking crack but he scored 23 league goals last season, and 21 the season before. 54 league goals in 80 odd appearances.
This is the weirdest vendetta I’ve seen in some time.
Hes a bit toxic.
