Totally agree, wasn’t accusing you personally of that viewpoint.I think you misunderstand my point... Vitesse Arnhem ARE a great club.
Apart from the big 3 in Holland, they are up there with the traditional, well supported clubs, with a proud history - Not dissimilar to us you could say - which is why THEM caring about a trophy we seemingly have disdain for makes them a class above us!
If we DARE take this competition seriously, some would have you believe it makes us small time .. but it's good enough for a club with the history and tradition of Vitesse Arnhem... So why not us? Why are WE so above such a competition?
It was a slur on OUR disdain at virtually having to be forced to lower ourselves to participate in this Comp. ...not Vitesse's obvious delight in taking part!

Is that markanday?He’s learnt that off Dele
Don't spend a penny on Spurs until ENIC OUTI feel for the fans who travelled. That was hard to watch.
The fact that Vitese are taking it seriously really is not a stain on our reputation in any way. The history you speak of is just that the past. The demands of the leagues that Vitesse play in are now so different to ours in regards to squad attrition and finance they can no longer be compared.I think you misunderstand my point...

Desperately unfair on the kid to be thrown in against grown men, get no service and depend on dross like Winks. Everytime he gets a game it's a hopeless cause.Seriously, this could be a major problem. Things like this could destroy his full confidence and this game time isn't helping him or the team. He needs a loan somewhere with more regular time and not so much of a spotlight on him.
Who said all our MFs are so shit? Winks and Dele are.
Gio's absence was in large part due to the South American fiasco/injuries not about his quality.
He is never a right winger and he shouldn't be stuck out there.
Not saying he's been great for us but when you see what he does regularly for Argentina you should want that at Spurs.
He offers better ball progression than Skipp and PEH
but is worse defensively.
Nuno is going with a solid two sitting for now and it's working but I see Gio getting in there soon enough.
YesIs that markanday?
He'll get his chance in a couple of weeks.Should have let Kane flat track bully them motherfuckers.
There is absolutely no reason to wet the bed on this. Yes the squad is in a rebuilding phase and this result is not an indication of where we are on the path.

This tournament is a bogus afterthought by Uefa in a misguided attempt to hoover up what little cash is left. In terms of prestige it is below us and if Vitesse played in the Premier league because of the finances and media it would be below them.
We were champions league finalists under three years ago whatever our historical parallels we are now on a different trajectory to them. I don't like the way the game has gone, but pretending it isn't so is just denial. I'm delighted we are not seriously commiting our first team to this joke tournament we just can't afford to.
Take your boots, I'm sure you can show them how it's done.We'll probably play half of our proper players and hide some of these Muppets, hoping that Burnley will do the same
TrollDon't spend a penny on Spurs until ENIC OUT
Seriously
Boycott those MFers
But Nuno should sit the useless cunt down, play that to him and ask WTF was he thinking ofWell if Nuno can't motivate players, can't get them to play together, can't improve them or coach them progressively WTF does he do? Have a nice beard? Getting someone better looking or the bearded lady.
Tell me, what does he do to earn his money?
Nightmare of Royal Antwerp stiĺl remainsThing is, that end of things ought not to be a consideration. We have 11 players that ought to be committed to forcing their way into the starting XI, yet the most senior players on the night can't embrace the opportunity to do so.
We had £158m vs £5m on the pitch tonight (with no doubt a similarly astronomical wage difference)..... I don't blame, Nuno, history or ENIC(*) for tonight.
(*even the striker issue should have been at most an inconvenience)......
Whether or not one gives a crap about the ECL trophy itself; the shit we saw tonight is a common occurrence and was just as evident in the Europa league last season.
