... that's a good point ... Ranieri built the Chelsea team that first won the title and helped distinguish them from Fulham in most football supporter's eyes
On the contrary, Minerva ... you've been a continual and consistent source of amusement ... and have saved me the cost of buying my own spinning top I work in a pressurised world where stress can be a huge inhibitor ... but your internet version of the love child of Frank Spencer and Paul Daniels has certainly been an alleviator on that front ... Cheers!
I always do, Minerva ... always have ... when it comes down to it you can't keep depending on a guardian angel in the Sky to fight your corner
I’m sensing that a one time ‘we can conquer the brave new world’ is left with one trophy the they once deemed worthless.
Lots of good teams left in, City don't have the history in this comp but are in a better position to win it than ever before. RM, Barca and Bayern are always going to be hard to beat. Juve have an experienced team and may pull off a shock or two and certainly shouldn't be written off. Whoever gets Roma or Shaktar get the easy draw.
Spurs winning an FA Cup could be huge, it could convince one or two of their stars like Dembele and Kane to commit. Alderweireld is a gonner already, he clearly hates the club and will get his move this summer. Poch knows this so refuses to play him even in games as important as last night.
It's critical that they win that trophy. They have the advantage over every team now. The easiest draw and home ground fixtures afterwards. They should win it, Chelsea shouldn't give them anything to fear under Conte and they're capable of beating us at Wembley again.
It's a mental thing and they need to get past it. I made a comment on the Spurs board earlier to a poster who was trying to say that they cannot compete with the big money clubs, I stated that the first hurdle is to stop thinking like that.
Already written off as ‘meaningless’ by HIAG. They are lucky to still be in it after scraping past Newport and needing another replay against rochadale. But from here on in there are no excuses for not winning it. If they go all spursy and **** this up then it will confirm that they are the floppy cocks of the league.
This is a comment from the Spurs board... I shouldn't rise to the bait but it annoys me how the hacks and pundits are painting the defeat as 'yet another missed opportunity to win a trophy'. I don't think there's a Spurs fan alive who genuinely thought we had a chance to win the thing That's just crazy to me as a insanely delusional Liverpool fan but putting that to one side, you have to believe you'll win it surely that's the starting point to actually winning it.
