We put 2 past Ajax and Messi does his ligaments in the next couple of weeks.

It would be no surprise that we were hoarding money for the new stadium, the wheels were already in motion back then when Harry was in charge. There is no way the stadium would of happened if we were not careful with our spending.
I am hoping now the project is finished (albeit with some serviceable debt) Levy is finally going to put his money where his mouth is and get Poch some quality signings

So are you saying that you view Leicester and Wolves as rivals?
I agree.
Negatives of having Redknapp as your manager though, I guess. He was happy with both of them.
He also wanted Tevez and Cahill in that window... Tevez, who was on about 200k a week and Cahill who rejected us for Chelsea, who were also probably offering him more than what we offer 3/4s of our squad now.
Melts?
Championship is a figure of speech and not to be taken “literally”, I mean if I’d have said Everton, someone would have said “the way Everton play he would get a regular game, now if you’d have said Watford I might have agreed, but not Everton”.......
So which players, I’ll start of with Llorente, can’t help but like the guy but fuck me, Pochettino doesn’t even trust him in the league, the guy is reserved for League cup games at best and Llorente’s contribution in no way this season is why we are sitting 3rd, Yes we may all say it was his goal that got us to the semi finals, but putting VAR and was it handball aside, the ball just hit him and went in, his attempted header wasn’t even close to connecting, but the fact there was so much fuss made about the bloody hand ball everyone overlooked that small piece of footballing genius.
Big Vic is another one, he’s a broken man and has contributed pretty much nothing this season, not his fault, and it is what it is...
Sanchez, another bit part player, and the main reason (apart from injuries) that we resort to this back 3 crap, he’s fit, he cost 45m (club record) and he is the lesser of the 2 evils when it comes to really scraping the barrel for midfielders or forwards at the minute or going to a back 3, never underestimate an inform/injury free Eric Dier as the holding midfielder/3rd Centre half. If Toby does leave this summer having Sanchez as one of our senior centre half's next season scares the crap out of me.
It is what it is, we can’t prevent injuries, Pochettino can only do what he can do right now, the result isn’t the real disappointment in truth, the real disappointment is we couldn’t put our best players out there to represent the club in such a big occasion, if we did and we still lost, then you say fair play, but to get beat and get absolutely hammered in the press/media for it is more disappointing than the actual result itself....COYS
What the fuck is this........
What happened around Harry was really curious in his last season. However, historically what really happened is lost in the fall out of missing out on Champions League.
When Nelson and Saha were added we were 3rd and consolidating top 4 was the objective. What is forgotten is that the season before they had brought Elder Gjundson ( spelling ) in the same way, adding some depth and experience and he was a good success. It was in that context not as barmy as it subsequently looks to have signed a couple of really well regarded pros to add depth to the squad. Indeed neither player let anyone down. Also, both players contributed to the aim. The team finished 4th.
Yes we finished behind the Goons who, it’s easy to forget, had an astonishing run of results and even then they only pipped us by 1 point and in fairness they beat us from 0-2 down to contribute to their final tally of points.
Then, as far as I am aware they had lined up Vertonghen & Siggurdson ( possibly Lloris too ? ) for Redknapp and then he got the bullet, Back then there was investment, more than it seems when we look back, we had a cracking squad really.
In context that summer after sacking Harry, probably was a lot more damaging than we would like to admit, so many decent players were shipped out. I don’t think they would have been had Harry stayed on.
Shut up you wet lettuce if you think we are going to win a CL then you are deluded.
Oh, just imagine Sissoko hitting a 30 yard last minute winner to take home the Champions League...
And I mean imagine it coz it will never, ever happen!

If you're all about being "realistic" then why get so riled/dispondent about the extreme doping of City and the like standing in the way of us becoming champs?
Someone with your outlook ought to be able to remain philosophical, no?
It’s a strange time to be completely adamant that we have zero chance of winning it, when we are potentially 2 games away from winning it
Perhaps I should rephrase it and say it's very unlikely that we will win it does that sit better.
Yeah I know mate. I was just venting. It won’t happen again.
If we win the Champions League this year, I'm legitimately getting a tattoo of Pochettino riding Chirpy into the sunset on my butt.
Looks like we're going to start seeing a bunch of tattoo parlour ads at the bottom of the page from now 
this is just dumb, I now know what being apart of a mass hallucination is like. spurs, in a CL final, against puddle? off to checking myself into rehab. god bless
