Absolutely spot on.
We were within a whisker of having an aura about the club.
Fcuking disappeared in claret and blue flames.
Awful evening and a lot of ground lost.

Also, ill just say this before people start trying to play the blame game and questioning the clubs decision making.
£100,000 is the prize money for winning this comp. £10K. And a place in the Europa League.
Barely enough to pay Sissoko's wages for a week.
The pedigree of the competition is at an all time low with them not even bothering to hold the draw in this country any more.
Now, i'm not saying it's right. I am desperate for us to win a trophy with this team, if anything to get the fucking pundits to stop saying "well they need to win something" in order to justify how good we are. And this clearly is the easiest competition to win.
But when we took home £38m for participating in the CL last year without even getting out of the group stages. You can see why any club that wishes to remain financially relevant prioritises finishing 4th in the league over winning this sorry excuse for a domestic cup.
Again, im not saying its right, hate the player not the game and all that.
By all means say that this is just damage control because we lost, but i have made these points plenty of time before (normally during a massive cunt off after we've been knocked out! lol!)

Didn’t Ramos get fired after winning the League cup?
We don’t need the League cup to take this team to another level, either.
Disappointing, but some of the bed shitting is a bit much. If we have our starting back 3 we don’t lose this game. We didn’t and we did. Move on to United.
And that’s all
Back to meaningful games next week starting Saturday against Maureen
Positives tonight include a good run out from Rose and Dembele and useful performances by Sissoko and Foyth
N’koudo can fuck right off
We've been taken seriously for 3 years. Tonight changes nothing. Real Madrid took us seriously. Man United will do on Saturday. Who gives a fuck what others think anyway?
You're having a shocker here mate. Just chill out.
People aren't getting the point.
The draw of winning this competition isn't the money, the lack of prestige or what competition it sets us up for - ITS A FUCKING TROPHY, that's the draw.
Pochettino gets his hand on a trophy with Tottenham. The players get a sense of what it feels like to win a cup. The 'easiest' cup to win.

You must be a West Ham fan, a complete cunt or both.
If we gave a shit about the competition, We'd have played our strongest possible 11, and won.
That's the bottom line for me. Yeah, it's a bit annoying to have to put up with their shit, but they'll get smashed in the next round and be back to fighting relegation this weekend.

What? Meaning you are as good as your last game and we just lost.
You can't sit that glowing. You keep being professional and clinical.
I didn't say they have fallen because they won the cups. Totti was saying that winning a cup will be the catalyst for the players to up their game.
Are you honestly saying they care about the League cup? Yes, they all won, but that doesn’t mean they care about it. Christ, City went to penalties against Wolves.
Like I said, I wanted to win tonight and compete for the cup, but we shit the bed in the second half and we are out. This doesn’t derail the team or the project. People are acting like it was all pointless now and that the results against Dortmund, Madrid and Liverpool mean nothing now because this loss.
Perspective.
Either go for it or just play all the kids. That was just pointless.
A game we are very likely to lose so good luck with that wish.
Change your name to Notabadaura
You're only as good as your last game is a nonsense cliche and means nowt in this context.
Just saw the result, who gives a fuck. Cant believe we made Alli and Dier play in this shit compo
Why do you care? a couple pages back you said you don't even care if we beat United?
Just stop.
