    Bobby, given our relative size, we already punch above our weight.

    Not by much.

    You have sixth biggest budget in the league and five clubs are more successful than you in recent times: City United Chelsea Arsenal Liverpool have all had more success

    Pompey won the FA cup in 2008, The same year we beat you in the Carling cupfinal.

    You need to get past last 16 regularly to become a force. No point becoming Arsenal v2

    Rubbish.

    Look at the turnover, Arsenal are almost double ours.

    not saying you're not trying but just think it's outrageous that you'd prefer 3rd/4th for a few years than winning the title and dropping down the next season.

    Was it double yours when they won the league in 98 or 2004? Stop making excuses for decades of failure and bottling

    When you’re used to,what we’ve seen from our club over the last 10-15 years, consistency is a welcome change. A sign of progress.

    It’s you making excuses.

    Arsenal haven’t won the league since it was a two horse race, 14 years ago.

    You haven't won in for 58 years, even when you tried to buy it in the 80s.

    Bill for new Tottenham stadium soars from £400m to £1bn as club confront cost and complexity of project
    • Cost of Tottenham's new stadium has more than doubled to £1bn
    • Chairman Daniel Levy is trying to negotiate finance for the stadium build
    • The new White Hart Lane home was initially expected to cost £400m

    It happened with Arsenal and it will happen with them. Arsenal lost 10 years of keeping up with the Joneses hence where they're today.

    Levy’s Dream is to make them the new arsenal: breaking even and top 4 every season.

    Didn’t some, not all, Spurs fans mock Arsenal for achieving this?

    we were consistently finishing 8-10th then consistently between 5-8 and now consistently 4-2

    You might not be seeing the pattern here but I am...it's a work in progress and as a club we are not always beating ourselves up for making that obvious progress...why should we?


    I very much doubt Levy and the gang give too many ****s about what constitutes as progress by a bunch of dickheads on Not606

    That's because I suppose Levi and his gang are happy feathering their own nest at the cost of success,
