I don't settle for being better than your biggest rivals for a few seasons as a massive accomplishment especially as we have had a team good enough to win things in that periodBeing better than your biggest rivals is always a big deal. Especially if it's the first time in 25 years.
You can aim higher whilst also celebrating the lower things.
Using your logic, there's no need to celebrate a League Cup or F.A. Cup win if you're in the CL.
You can do both.
I'm not saying finishing above the Scum is huge now. It was huge when we did it for the first time in over two decades.
Again, you can celebrate more than one thing at a time.
P.s. As to your ''difference in mentality'', even when they were winning Leagues and Cups they still celebrated 'St. Totteringham's Day'. So no, the mentality is no different.
They won things when their team wasn't as great imo
It feels like our time has gone and there is a rebuild that needs to take place in order for that to happen
Now man u and Woolwich won't stay shit forever so i feel our time to get some trophies in our cabinet has gone
