If we were to win the CL would you still say we regressed?
Do you have a year on year number for injuries and how many games key players have missed through injuries per season?
Goal difference means nothing to me.
We finished 3rd last season.
We got to a semi final of a domestic cup last season.
We got to the round of 16 in the Champions League.
We are on course to finish 3rd this season.
We got to a semi final of a domestic cup this season.
We are in the semi final of the Champions League.
All whilst playing 3/4s of the season away from home and having numerous players out injured for key periods of the season.
A man preaching vocab, meaning and interpretation insists semi final of CL isn't "progress" compared to R16 last year and grp stage the year before that. (3rd EPL last year and 3rd (tbc) this year just for good measure.)
CLASSIC!!!
...And "embarrassing".
We're talking about signings, flipper. It's the fookin transfer thread.
If your idea of a chairman backing his manager is simply improving contracts to existing players then it goes a long way to explaining unswerving loyalty to the board rather than the team.
I've got a weird unexpicable respect for you, Spursdem. But you've let yourself down badly with this nonsense mate
I would, yeah.
The structure of the CL means a team can have a couple of bounces go their way and end up on top, that's what makes it so much fun. We won that second City leg just as convincingly as the Starks won the Battle of Winterfell, but what a thrill it was.
Rather than the team?
Go look at who is on here more often putting faith in this squad and who turns up primarily after defeats to say they aren't good enough.
Then talk to me about loyalty.
You once said this side that came 2nd would come 8th-11th.
Don't chat about loyalty.
That's baked into the cake though. I still believe in this squad if fully fresh and healthy, with an addition here or there. But as it has played out it has not been as strong a side, which given the World Cup exertions was COMPLETELY foreseeable.
The biggest signings I want this summer are Christian Eriksen and Toby Alderweireld, don't get me wrong.
In all seriousness.... You don't seem like you're having fun.
Such a shame this wonderful phase of our club is passing the moaners by.
"Meanwhile I look outside my window and crickets"
I am not currently having fun because I'm terrified about everything Poch (and Levy) has built turning to rubble over the next few months as a result of the next week of games, but in general watching this era of the club play has been one of the great joys of my life.
ALL comes down to money.... No?
You claimed Poch had the begging bowl out.
Slimey fuck.
Wigan got to a cup final and won it whilst regressing by getting relagated and your point is....,
How's Foyth doing?
FEAR - Can't be a nice way to live.
Shame.... I'm feeling pride. Proud to be Spurs and all the more proud for the way we've got to this juncture.
I don’t think anyone disagreed with the club signing players, it’s more about signings the right players. I’m sure there’s plenty we could have signed in the summer, but were they better than what we had?
Yours seems to be "relegation fears are REAL". :vert:
He knows this already, mate.
I thinks it’s hard to judge Sessengon on this season. He’s played in a team that was poorly managed by 3 separate managers. I think in the right team he’d perform a lot better.
I see what you mean by wanting players that are ready now though, and I agree. We need players that can step in immediately and improve us. That’s why we should be looking at the likes of Tielemans, Zaha and Wan Bissaka for example.
