The reality is no matter what happens it is unlikely that Sabitzer comes here or that Levy sacks his crush Jose so neither of us get what we want.
Hypothetically two cups, not a cup.
And do you honestly think we’ll continue to play this way for the whole of his tenure? I just can’t see that happening. But no proof from either of us on that one.
One of those trophies also gets us into the CL (Levy licking his lips).
Football fans are a strange bunch!
Is there any reason to think that we won't?
It is the style Jose has played his whole career, the style that fits with the philosophy he has talked about his whole career, the style he has stuck with for the vast majority of games with us when it clearly is not what suits us best and the style the he returns to any time there is a the slightest bit of wobble while trying to open things up.
I don´t know, maybe it´s a choice. Do we want to be as wise as United fans?
Your comparison is a not accurate in my opinion, Totti. Since our last League Cup title, they´ve won:
- Champions League
- Premier League (4 times)
- Club World Cup
- Europa League
- FA Cup
- League Cup (2)
- Supercups (5)
That´s just from our League title, in 2008, until the present moment.
After winning everything, they (or most of them) are happy with Ole, because he is bringing back "The United Way". In reality, though, he´s been at the club for three years without winning a single trophy - their last title was four years ago (Europa League, under Jose). In my opinion, they are just fooling themselves.
Can we afford to think the same way? I really don´t think so.

My point being that fans of a club the size of Man Utd are HAPPIER with a club legend managing them, who to this day has won nothing, than someone who has the label of being their most successful manager since Ferguson retired.
They also disliked van Gaal - who won them an FA Cup.
That could just be United entitlement because they were so used to winning things every season - but I think if anything it shows that fans more than anything want that connection with the club. They want to feel proud of what they see, happy with the teams performances and something to really look forward to every week.
They didn't get that with Mourinho in charge. And going by the large divide, neither do most of Spurs fans.
Which is why we loved it under Jol, Redknapp and Pochettino. More so than Graham, Ramos, AVB - despite two of the latter winning us trophies.
Isn’t it amazing that everyone is so happy to be the entertaining nearly men, yet want the chairman sacked for making us exactly that over the last decade
If Utds last league title was in the 60s and they’d won three trophies since 1991, I find it laughable the notion they would have wanted Jose sacked after winning the EL and Carabou
Thr LC barely counts, as a competition it’s virtually meaningless
yes
Well, you’ve got the last 18 months with us and his 2+ years at ManU.

Good, then I won’t hear a peep out of you if we lose to city
The league cup wasn’t meaningless to me when Woodgate knocked in the winner with his face. I jumped about the place like a fucking maniac. And will again if we beat City.
It makes me question the premiss of this thread: "Everybody wants Jose out". A lot of people want Jose out, of course, but the negativity in this forum (which I love) don´t represent "Everybody" - it´s definitely different in other places.
So many pretenders it’s hilarious, we are above silverware mate, we lost a CL final three years ago and sit 9th so are now quite similar to Real Madrid
Good point.
It’s like the same 14 people saying the same thing every five seconds means the whole fan base agrees
Obviously just to show how far some will go to get rid of Jose. The sacrifices some will make.
And whilst I understand people wanting him sacked, I certainly don’t understand wanting him sacked if he delivers more trophies in 2 months than we’ve won in the previous 20 years.
Can you imagine playing down the Carabou as a Spurs fan, while Man City fans and their players want to win it and will proudly add it to their honours list
I used to take the piss out of people on here for them being embarrassed at threads in here, concerned as to how those threads would look to oppo fans. Any other club fan sees this thread and I doubt they’d believe the levels of entitlement. This is 100% laughing stock stuff. At least the “will we win the league” thread was misplaced confidence. I’m not even sure how to describe this one.
Now now, the League a cup is miles below a team like City that win numerous league titles. That’s why they never take it seriously and have only won it four times out of the last five years.
