Well, nobody remembers the year they came 2nd and got knocked out in the Semis.
Everyone remembers a trophy.
So you don't believe in luck overall?
If so fair enough.

I'm sure any McDs security guard would know more about rocket science than you do about football given the guff you've continually posted to defend the indefensible fraud.

China then. Even lower level than Japan
I'm not sure what this fictional scenario is referring to, as we've never been 2nd in the league + gotten to CL semis. It was FA Cup semis in 2016/17.
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I'll remember that season (and the preceding one) much more fondly than stumbling our way to a Europa Cup this year. 2015-2017 is the most complete Spurs team I've ever experienced. Well coached, free-scoring, fearless, resolute in defence - all despite a fairly bodgy squad. It felt like we were making real progress then.
Winning a Cup this year, as special as it is in isolation, flies in the face of all of that perceived progress. All of the empty corporate epithets about 'attacking football', 'The Tottenham Way', and the ever-promised Great Rebuild(s)... none of which would have been necessary had Poch been supported 7 years ago, when we were on the cusp and falling forward.
We'll never get there again under this ownership... but I'd still rather enjoy watching my team put up a challenge every week.
100% on ur last paragraph - this is the fraud’s first and last “Big” job- So absolutely no way he walks away from a 10 Million quid payout - and in fairness, none of us would either.
So the the fraud will stay until our Bald Cunt puts the fraud (and us) out of our misery.
I think Chris Sutton is still a fan 
My mum died during covid. Cancer. Couldn't really get adequate treated because she didn't have covid. How ironic.
Needless to say, I wasn't keen to stand outside and clap for the NHS in that whole period.
Yeah fuck that nonsense. I used to take the bins out
Watching PSG and Woolwich last night reinforced just how appalling our fraud at the helm is.
Sorry, I was replying to the discussion on which clubs' season would be considered more "successful"
Woolwich - finishing 2nd, without a trophy; and semi CL.
Spurs - finishing 17th, winning Europa League.
At the end of the day, football is about winning trophies. There is no prize for 2nd.
Sorry to hear that. My dad died in 2013 and it took me up until about 2019 to get over it. Then the final happened and honestly it took me probably 4 years to get over that. Since that time I’ve had these weird thoughts that the grief from the death of my father passed into the sadness I had from losing that final. Probably weird right and just the passage of time, but I felt free from the death of my dad at the same point as that game in Madrid. Feels more than a coincidence, I don’t know, I’m no psychologist. Agree though, football has not been the same since that sweltering night in Madrid.
I’m tipping spurs to win by 4-0 or 4-1. Ange will be back at the helm for the next season. There is no way they will sack him. As long as the heat is on Ange it’s off Levy. If we get rid of some dead wood and get some top talent we’ll make top 4 next year. We’ll also have a decentt run in CL if we qualify. At least quarter finals . Main thing that needs to change is the reliance on Romero and Micky. Another year with them getting injured without decent backups and it’s all over.
I don't think that's true at all, people are already miffed that Levy hasn't taken action to relieve Ange of his duties on multiple occasions this season, if he were to leave him in place then those voices will just become louder and louder.
There's no scenario in which Ange cocking up more and more isn't ultimately seen as Levy's doing.
I assume the rest of your post is satire though, there's nothing at all to suggest we could threaten top 4 next season under Ange, or even make it through the league phase of CL.
Sorry to hear that. Tbh I was pleased my mum had died before it all happened.
I can’t think of anything worse than spending your last days being stuck in a care home or hospital bed unable to see family & friends.
Ill have some of that concoction please
I think I football was intrinsically part of our lives.
From my mum taking me to my own football as a kid to my first time at WHL as a family.
And I chose not to go to Madrid to soak up the final atmosphere. Instead to be with my dad and family in the room we watched all the away CL fixtures. Season started with my mum in the house with us. She died before the Knock out stages.
Felt like she had a hand in destiny for the QF and semi final with the luck we had.
A crazy superstitious feeling if we were all together as a family we couldn’t lose the final.
Then we got SISSOKO’D!! FFS.
Glad I didn’t go tbh. Would have been 10x more gutted and convinced I made my own bad luck!
