    I think more of us would rather see you struggle like **** at Wembley next season, miss out on the top 4, Poch then ****s off next summer and your team breaks up as a result. <ok>

    It's a matter of fact.

    If you're not out to win trophies, what exactly is your purpose?

    United have won 3 pots this season. 1 is debatable of course but the other is a domestic cup and the other is a European one.

    At the end of the season they have Champions League football and 3 trophies in the cabinet. What do Spurs have to show for it? Apart from the "Finished above the worst Arsenal side of the Premier League era" trophy.

    Is that all the lads or United fans still excluded from offering our opinion?

    I'll give it anyway.

    Yes, well done on avoiding the sack. What next is pretty obvious, he will strengthen the squad, get rid of some players he doesn't fancy, and go all out to win the league next year.

    That's what.

    You've peaked mate, get used to it. The Holy Grail has been within touching distance and that's as close as you're going to get.

    Like getting a lap dance and having a clout waved about an inch from your face, you can even smell it, but you never get to touch it <laugh>

    10th but you said we wouldn't make the top 5 now we are on the cusp of our second domestic double. Bet you feel stupid don't you, I'm right aren't I.

    You've paid no (sincere) compliments. Anyway I didn't bring Leicester up, you did. I purely stated I'd fancy Man U to go further than some English sides and you not only took that to mean I meant Spurs but brought Leicester into it.
    Rattled?

    You can build a great team and still not win anything. The best teams get the job done.

    10th actually. And the 2 seasons either side of that we've won 2 league titles, the league cup, in the fa cup final in 2 days time and reached the C.L semi final.

    Spurs have won nowt in that time.

    No one remembers the plucky runners up - which is why Spurs have small club mentality. Finishing above Arsenal once is all you have to show for your best 2 years ever in the P.L. <laugh>

    This thread has not gone as planned has it? :wink:

    Why start threads about laughing at a side for being successful when your side has been as successful as Birmingham in the last 15 years?

    You didn't really think this through before you wrote it did you ? <laugh>

    I'm all for a mourinho piss taking thread, but only you could write one that ends up with you being the object of the piss taking.

    Extremely poor wum effort. You're just not up to it I'm afraid.
