You DO NOT GET silverware for finishing in the top 4 !!??
How else will the "neutrals" remember the 20 consecutive years that
Wenger achieved this ??

Wow, I am shattered by this.
What next, you telling me the tooth fairy does not exist ??
Are you sure, surely a silver medal.
 
That really doesn't change anything. My point is still valid.

You guys/liverpool didn't consider 4th place to be as 'important as a trophy'. All of a sudden it's 'more important than the Cup'.

Will winning the FA Cup help Spurs to :

1. Increase their global fanbase (merchandising etc)

2. Earn at least 40m quid for playing just 6 games

3. Attract the quality of player needed to maintain/improve the
performance shown in the PL over the past 2 seasons

1 probably
2 no chance
3 not a hope in hell
 
Am I missing the point here, or is the key issue not that Tottenham got 86 points, playing some of the most attractive football seen in England for years, had comfortably the best defensive record in the league, and scored the most goals in the league, whilst being a season away from moving into the biggest, most state of the art stadium in the country, and having some of the most talented and prospering young players in the league on their books and committed to the club, whilst Arsenal had a pretty awful run of league results, and face the prospect of potentially losing their two best players and a manager who half of their fans want to leave anyway ?

It's not so much, as I see it, a question of who won the FA Cup this season, but of who looks likely to be one of dominant forces in English, and potentially European football, for the foreseeable future.
Yes you are missing the point.

To address your post.. We've had countless Seasons were we played great football and won zilch. We got nothing but abuse from the media.

What are you struggling to grasp here?

When we qualify for the Champions League but don't win a trophy. The criticism is that we are 'wrongly prioritising a Champions League place and winning a trophy is more important'

When we win a trophy but don't qualify for the UCL we get ' Qualification is more important than winning a trophy'.

If you cant see the hypocrisy in that frankly there's no helping you.
 
Gold Ore, 2 grammes a tonne and you should make money, 8 grammes a tonne and you can look forward to a years salary as a bonus at the end of the year. Less than 0.5 grammes a tonne, it's a waste of space, a bit like l'arse. Happy Thursdays goons.

Thank you for your insights.

What about "ore" mined from 'Library' ground ??
I have heard stories from one mine owner that he extracts
60,000 ( + 1) units every week from just a 100 x 75m area.

This season Arsenal finished 5th in the league, and Tottenham finished 2nd.

Looking forward into next season and beyond, which of the two teams do you regard as being on the up and being the likely to continue to improve in terms of performance and influence ?

Because I think most people would regard it as being Tottenham.

This season won't be remembered as the season where Arsenal won another FA Cup. It will be remembered as the season where Arsenal faded from the top tier of clubs in England, and where Tottenham took over with Chelsea as the force of football in London. THAT is the point.

60001 ounces of gold is currently worth £59,391,038.41. Which incidently is about what the goons have paid Ozil in salary plus what it cost to buy him. I'd rather have 60 gold bars, or even 30, or even 10, or even 1 actually.

Fcuk me, my post has put things into perspective. To make 60,001 ounces of gold it has taken 800 people working for 6 months 12 hours per shift sweating their balls off. 3 people have died. Ozil has yet to break into a sweat.

Arsenal finished 2nd Last Season Tottenham finished 3rd. So that negates your point really. I don't think the last years form is that relevant. Look at Chelsea

Arsenal always have a Feb/March collapse but nearly always finish this Season strongly. This year our poor form carried on far longer than it normally does..(but Wenger did right the ship at the end and only missed UCL by 1 point) I think 9/10 times this team finishes considerably higher than they did this year.

Plus you need to consider it is harder to maintain good form in the league when the Champions League games start coming in thick and fast.

So yeah - I would actually bet on Arsenal to finish above Tottenham next Season.

You think Tottenham finished 5th last season ?

Seriously ?
