I don't think we disagree... the difference is that you still got fight, I haven't anymore... I'm just fed up of not caring about my club. I don't even care if we lose anymore... I feel nothing... this is the first season in 30 years that I haven't bothered watching a bunch of matches... I've always missed the odd one but this year I've missed 10-15...

Which is rather odd, since it's the first time in many many years that we are competing for a major trophy.

I guess the 'top 4' trophy really is the all the fans care about.

That statement contradicts how many fans are acting. Upset we gave up on the 'race to 6th' to instead focus on winning 2 trophies.

I don’t know what the fuck you’re on about with this, you don’t have to end up borderline in relegation battles in order to get past the mighty AZ Alkmaar. Our shit league results aren’t a symptom of cup focus.

It is when you have 9 players out injured, and only 3 of your 1st choice players available.

You have to pick your battles.

What are you even on about? We went out of the FA cup early. We haven’t prioritised cup matches for players. We’ve played players when fit in the league too. The idea we’ve deliberately fucked off the league is hilarious cope.

We’ve not even been fucking good in the cups other than the league cup. Europe has been mixed and the FA cup disastrous.

If we lose to Frankfurt in a quarter final and then finish 16th/17th, was it worth all this imaginary focus?

I see a lot of posts on this forum that suggest this is as low as it can get... personally, I don't think the demise is even close to bottoming out. I am not talking about league position etc... under previous ownership we were a solid 8th - 11th kind of team with the odd flirtation with the bottom five or six. Our status in midtable was built on not trying to be as good as the Sky 4, but being better than 10 or so other teams occupying the lower half of the table. We were experts at that. For me, those teams finishing 8th - 11th were far worse than this team finishing 15th or 16th. You see, back then we started every season knowing we weren't good enough to compete with the Sky 4. We dreamed of a cup run and maybe sneaking into the final UEFA Cup place. For the last decade or so we have been a team who does think we can compete and this is why this season hurts. If this season was recorded back in the mid 90s it would have been par for the course. Maybe the answer is lowering of expectations. We had our golden opportunity, a few times over but failed to take it and now we shuffle off into mid table with our joy being the annual demise of rivals and the odd cup run. Forget about Europe, forget about buying established world beaters, forget about keeping your best players. Back then, this was us and football seemed way more enjoyable than it is now. That will be my outlook on Spurs for the foreseeable future. No more delusions of grandeur.

I understand your view but it seems as though Levy has browbeaten you into submission. This is exactly what that bald cunt hopes us fans feel. So we will just 'accept it' and shut up, whilst him and his cunty friends make a ton of money (that isn't invested into the club).

We're Tottenham Hotspur FC - a footballing giant - and we need to remember and hold on to that.

NEVER FORGET THIS:

“ 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.”

If we are to lower expectations then perhaps they should lower ticket prices . I’m sure they’ll understand
