Ok, just humour me, what are you expecting from Spurs next season and what will you do if those expectations are not met?

I will take any cup at this stage - I’m despite for us to win the FA cup. It’s absolutely criminal that Tottenham Hotspur have gone nearly 30 years since our last win.

As I said earlier in the week - there is no hiding place for Poch now. The stadium is finished, we have spent big this summer and we still have an excellent squad. It’s time for him to deliver.

Take the banter aspect of that as seriously as you like (There was a context to the post I made the other day, which you're no doubt choosing to overlook), but people will do what THEY see fit regardless... I have no sway around here.

But KNOW this: It's special treatment for YOU. Read above.... I've no problem in singling you out.

and you always try derail the topic of discussion.

Rubbish... I just grant YOU no time nor effort as you proved yourself to be a waste of 'debate energy' a LONG time ago.

It’s quite clear that you cannot defend your position ( I actually dare to engage for once because I will enjoy slaughtering you) rather than doing you diversion tactic and disagree spamming.

See above... You're a special case.... My position on all sorts is stated and defended on here on a daily basis...

Your Fake news style deflections may make you FEEL better about both mine and the broader communities feelings towards you but KNOW there is little reality to your accusations here; much like your "Airfixx thinks he's the best fan ever" meme bullshit.

You yourself are just a tired, boring meme.

On the contrary, I've simply built an impression of you and your motives based on my interpretation of you and your output. Maybe i'm wrong about you, but that's hardly the same thing.....

Wake us up when you actually answer the fucking question.

But's that what you suggested though is it...you were asking for supporters to apply pressure to the club to get trophies...I'm asking how you're supposed to do that without looking like a cunt...

In the same way it is displayed when we play unattractive football it’s made known to the club that it’s unacceptable. AVB has one of the best win ratios as a Tottenham manager and yet the supporter base riled against it across a range of mediums ( and Levy even acknowledged this in his end of season notes at this time).

Tell why is the supporter unwilling to accept unattractive football and make it know but comfortable with the club entering its longest silverware drought since the ‘30s?

He asked me what I’m expecting next season and I said silverware because with the team we have we should be expecting that.

As I said before there is no hiding place left for Pochettino - the stadium excuses is gone, the spend excuse is no longer there. If he fails again next season I suspect manager more are going to start to wake up to this.

Hood, re this post.

Would you have taken a LC or FA cup trophy over what we have achieved since Poch arrived? Im not being a smartass mate, I simply want to know.

As your your second paragraph, sorry it makes no sense. " Poch has nowhere to hide" ?

He was hunted by some of the biggest clubs in the world, was he not ? How is Poch ( as you later refer to ), related to the stadia project? Yet is was Poch that with a limited or no budget got this squad to a CL final, succeeded against great odds to secure again a top 4 finish, and has proven time and again that he gets it right more often than not.

I want silverware. I want trophies, we all do.

The Manager has delivered more than the occasional trophy. His decisions have led to where we are as at today, being able to sign quality talent, as a result of a combination of Poch's man management / and the clubs investment in facilities and a top level stadium.

Its a new era. It's been long coming. Yes, its been frustrating playing away from home, not signing players for 2 windows, not having the depth to go that extra mile when injuries hit, however, if anything since the CL final, Spurs are now perceived, as a major force.

Im sure you are a Spurs tragic, as we all are. Enjoy this period of growth and I am confident silverware will be delivered.

These are the facts - we have had one of the best teams in the league over the last five seasons and yet we are only the club in the top 6 on that time to have not won anything despite have the second highest cumulative points total in that period. When inferior sides have won multiple trophies and we have not questions should be asked.

As for Pochettino being hunted by the top clubs - which one? Where the official moves? And if you are taking about the likes of United and Madrid when given their standard of their managerial appointments in recent seasons that is hardly and accolade.

And can we please stop with this little Tottenham battling against the odds narrative please. We deserve to be in this position because of the players we have - many of which where here before Pochettino. We are largely in our current position due to the board and it’s strategy. As with Redknapp Pochettino is being massively overstated in truth he is the actual week link in the chain.
 
Why is the Hoods opinion so I'm palatable for some of you guys ?

I don't share his opinion at all but I can see how such opinions can be formed , as far as I can tell he's not abusive or particularly condescending.

It’s crossed my mind but more of the Champions League and the falsehoods around it. The level of delusion that tournament elicits across supporter bases ( not just ours)

Honestly, you should, it will spark debate.

What falsehoods do you think the Champions League elicits?

I take you also complain about the endless accolades levelled at Pochettino as well then? Im a drop in the ocean compared to that - you must take huge issue with that level of repetition.

I think most will agree that Poch simply must win something next season with increased spending and a full 5 years to work out the squad.

"Must"?

Nah.... "most" haven't been found to be saying as much thus far this window.
 
I have some questions

What are other posters expectations for next season ?

Is there a point in the Spurs "project" that there should be an expectation trophies should be won ?
