The Tottenham Hotspur "Spiral" Watch

Leicester and Atletico Madrid won titles on smaller budget than spids

 

HIAG owned again

 

Or I just don't like ****ing chicks that weigh more than a hippopotamus.

 

Not for me either. Like trying to **** a waterbed!

 

Well money matters but it's not the only thing that does. Leicester was a total one off and not something any aspiring team can learn from. Atletico Madrid are the third wealthiest team in Spain. You'd expect them to win the title sometimes. Spurs were in the top three wealthiest clubs in the 60s and did pretty well then.

 

Only if talking irrelevant bollocks counts as 'owning'. Although this would explain why Ginger is so convinced he owns people.

 

It's hardly 'irrelevant' to point out that Atletico and Leicester have won titles on smaller budgets than Spurs. For somebody who places such a big emphasis on finances, you seem somewhat hasty to dismiss this fact.

 

The fact would only be relevant if Spurs and other English clubs could learn something from the achievements of Atletico Madrid and Leicester. I'm eager to hear what lessons you think Spurs are missing.

 

Leicester was a freak, a one off. It’s happened once in the 25 yr history of the PL, and probably won’t happen again for another 25 or more.

 

as far as i'm aware, atletico are still challengers and managed to make 2 CL finals in the past years with a budget that is less than what you guys run on....

 

Double-ouch!

Skiddy and Pixie will be raging after that superb owning, mate!

 

Fcuk me!

You really gave Pixie a pasting with that flurry of blows!

 

... the once will do nicely ... it's THE perfect WUM ... some will never, ever, get over it

 

Ouchio ... as they say in Spain ... Quentin will be coughing and spluttering on his unlimited soda pop refills at the Basingstoke Harvester after that owning ...

 

You know me so well, Bambs.

 

^^^Rattled to ****

 

**** me you are desperate.

Perhaps you could explain then how Atletico won their trophies and are still doing so today, despite having a smaller budget than Spurs ? Or how Leicester won the league, despite having a massively smaller budget than Spurs ?

(I realise that this is a direct football related question, so not really expecting a valid response)

 

It’s about as valid a comparison as suggesting that as Arsenal scored three times in 5 minutes last night they could easily win a match 50-nil if only they could keep it up. Leicester did brilliantly and I don’t begrudge them their success but they are not a model for how to win the PL. Neither are Atletico.

 

All conjecture mate. The facts are that Atletico and Leicester have won trophies on a much smaller budget that spurs. Atletico in particular have proved that they can challenge and sustain that challenge.
