I really don't get the hate for this competition.

The teams aren't close to as bad as people want to make it out to be and it is a good chance for us to get young players key minutes.

If we make the changes that most hope we do we will want games to give young players a chance and to evaluate them.

For example, it would be great to have these games playing Rodon-Tanganga together as a CB pair, get them minutes together and see how they work as a pair against Qarabag rather than Salah-Mane and LIverpool.

Get a chance to play Sessegnon at LB so he can work out kinks against Feyernoord and not City.

Lets hold it at new White Hart Lane, pack the stadium full of fans that might not get the chance to go to the more expensive games. create a fun atmosphere and have some fun. There is such a lack of excitement and fun around this team for two years why not enjoy some midweek football in games in which we should dominate and watch some young kids get a run out.

That's the book on my nightstand at the moment. I'm sure most of you have read it, if you haven't, fix that immediately.

It's about the Tottenham Hotspur of legend, the romantic notion of Spurs we all love, and the figures who made this club what it is, the thing we're all so proud of and desperate to see succeed.

Pictured there on the front cover is the tin-pot new trophy cynically cooked up by UEFA as a third tier competition, then in its very first season. One of the great nights in our history.

The point of the game is not to climb the Deloitte Money League, not to gain the respect of Sky Sports pundits, it's to compete, and lift trophies, and if you wouldn't take joy and pride in winning this competition that's your own problem, you've lost the plot.

Main stadium. £10 ticket prices to get the stadium packed, play our young players and fringe players to blood them. Treat it as a bit of fun, don’t play our first 11.

This £Billion stadium was built for Uefa Champions League, it was built to watch mighty Spurs against the Real Madrid of this world, not some goat herders from Steppe. It would be a fucking pisstake to use this stadium for that joke of a competition.

Home matches for this peasant competition should either be played at Hotspur Way or The Hive Stadium which is used by Spurs Ladies.

The u23/reserve team under Ryan Mason should be the team for this competition.

What are your suggestions lads and lasses?

I think the hate isn't so much hate as that fact that if we don't win, what happens to the confidence of the players? Does "we can't even win a 3rd tier shit competition, how can we win anything!?" set in?

This would be an odd way to look at things. Should we just not enter any competitions in case we don't win them? Just fold the club.

Levy would be mad not to, this is the cups fledgling year, UFEA obviously want it to be a success I’m sure, and no better way to gain some favour from UFEA than to showcase this thing at a packed WHL every game....We are one of the biggest, if not the biggest draw in it, and we should advertise the club in that way....

Fantastic book. I was on the Coventry trip.
 
Remember there will be two teams playing - sure for our millionaires it's just another game at NWHL - but if you play for mickey-mouse nobody then to play in one of the best stadiums on the planet, in front of a crowd bigger than your entire season's attendance, that would be a dream come true.

We are the "big boys" in this 3rd tier competition, it's very much up to us to give the minnows their once-in-a-lifetime experience ... it's what the glamour of cup football used to be all about.

Show a little magnanimity on the rare occasions when we can these days.
 
Honestly, I get you people don't like this competition, but saying it's the same as the Audi Cup is just mental. It's not the same as the Audi Cup. That was a preseason friendly tournament.

We rallied against Levy entering us into the Super League because it's a closed shop, goes against the spirit of the game, everything should be on merit. Well guess what, we're here on merit. We've had a disaster of a season. Now we've got people on here sulking, claiming we shouldn't even have our manager at matches, claiming matches should be played at the training ground with no fans. How entitled and spoilt do some of you sound for fans of a team with two league cups in 21 years.

It's not the inter-toto fucking cup. It's not the Audi cup. Yes it's not as prestigious at the Champions League, but we're not fucking in the champions league. And nor do we deserve to be.
