club plays in the 4th tier in SlovakiaI hope this is true.I would love to go there
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?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.

Decided to add Tottenham Hotspur Stadium option, you can change your voteMain 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.
Some entitled fuckwits think we should turn up our noses at this for some bizarre reason. Must be our massive recent trophy haul...I really don't get the hate for this competition.

Brilliant book (still surprised Billy Nick allowed it )
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.
This is why we should self-relegate to League One. One lower than the Champo just in case one of those clubs gets a bit frisky and tries to win it.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.
If we did get Gzira, I'd probably go to the away leg
acceptedThat was shameful even for my standards
Apologies
well, if Harrods can charge £1 for using a loo, then Levy probably thinks he might get away it.That would be brilliant
Although come the next home game there'd probably be a toll booth installed on the toilets or something like that to compensate
I've been to Sliema and I saw the winning team on their open top busYes, Gzira is just the next town along from Sliema

My local team is Birkirkara, the team that gave the spammers a fright a few years back
I'm sure they were the ones who had won the cup at the national stadium ?My local team is Birkirkara, the team that gave the spammers a fright a few years back
Is automatic entry into the EL supposed to be a good thing?I don't know why all the angst
Villarreal, Roma etc will all be in the later rounds and the residue failures of the Europa League.
AND if we win it we get automatic entry into the Europa League next year !
Yes, Gzira is just the next town along from Sliema
I'll see you there.Heh. My family is from Zejtun.
If we get Hibs away and the world has returned to normal I might pop over for that.
When we lose I'll pelt the boys with pea stuffed pastizzi. If we win, I'll change it to ricotta ones.
