Because that’s what I said was it.
The point is unattractive football is deemed unacceptable but a decade without silverware ( despite having two top sides) is.
That tells me the mentality and mindset of the supporter base is clearly not right.

Done surveys have we or is the original claim (as i suspect) hyperbole on your part?
See you've moved the goal-posts now.... Of course a truly great manager typically requires silverware to cement their legacy, but that's not 'next season or bust' is it?
"and a couple of good runs in the cups"
Oh God just fucking kill me now
ochfacepalm:
Not to go too over the top, but I'd be perfectly happy to put your out of your misery if things are as bad as you project as a Spurs fan....
Walking away might be less dramatic tho'.
How many seasons does he need to win something?
You gonna give him another 5 years, fuck 10 years without a trophy let's make it 20.
Everyone no matter how lovable has their limits I praying to God we do win something next season not just to end this drought but for the sake of this squad.
Even the loyalty of the most faithful of spurs players will be tested should they go even longer without a single honour to their name.
No that's quite right , many people do place expectations on things tho.
People pay to see football to be entertained that's the whole fucking point, not every team can win trophies but if they play decent football fans will happily pay money to see it....If every fan was only in to see trophies being won then what would be the point of existence for 99.999999999% of all football teams?
But you have an issue with repetition or is that just with viewpoints you don’t like?
So I’m clear it’s perfectly fine if you agree it - got it.
Your "expectations" are futile if they don't take into account what's going on around us too....
In case you hadn't noticed the richest team 'ever' won the domestic treble last year.
Meanwhile another team that finished above us pipped us to the ONLY other trophy available to us.
We're not categorically the best team in the country so to DEMAND (expect) a trophy is delusional entitlement.

Go on give me another disagree airfixx I love it when you do that.
Chat less shite and they may turn to agrees...... Kinda how it works, y'know.
More hyperbole...
Evidently, you have very little in common with the more loyal end of the SUPPORTER spectrum so I don't bother speaking for them.
Your "expectations" are your own. You should be able to argue for them accordingly without some mythical consensus behind you.
So if they don’t get that ‘entertainment’ then they are perfectly entitled to criticise until they do? So I’m clear it’s acceptable for the supporterbase to do this when it comes to playing style but wholly unacceptable to place expectations on one of the best sides in the league to win a trophy?
On the contrary, I said "needn't" - Look it up.
(I didn't say don't)

I'm sort of in the middle here.
I feel it's an absolute must that we win a trophy asap.
I recognise the difficulty in winning trophies with Man City around.
I understand the pragmatism of prioritising a top 4 finish over a domestic cup win, the fa cup wins done little for Woolwich.

It's petulance like this that puts people off of you.
I agreed with with you that expectation "needn't" come into it ,and offered that it often does regardless.
Grow up. They're only given from a personal point of view.
