I think they had to slow down their spending this season. Took them about three months to get Amrabat on just a loan instead of the rumoured £30m asking price - lucky for them they did though, bloke’s ****ing pony. Pretty sure ten Hag said they couldn’t make any Jan signings either. Yeah Liverpool operate within their means too I believe. They were excellent for a few years when Edwards was working with Klopp on signings, think they had like a 90% success rate with arrivals, that was a catalyst along with Klopp’s management in allowing them to compete with City’s much larger finances.
26 major trophies, might be wrong but think that’s the 6th most in England. First English side to win a European trophy. Been barren recently but let’s not pretend Spurs don’t have a history.
Sure you've googled the 6th bit ... ... but here's the thing; I've personally witnessed my little team winning 3 League Cups, an FA Cup and the Premier League title in my lifetime ... what have you witnessed your 'Big club' winning?
Yeah that's fair enough. I've always considered you at a similar level to Villa and Everton in terms of stature. I wouldn't call any club who's not won their domestic league for over 60 years a big club though. Only two league titles too, the same amount as Burnley. Edit - that 26 seems quite high though. Is that including charity shields and Norwich hospital cups?
Depends on your criteria but Spurs, like Newcastle, are massive but underachieving. Trophies and fanbases are quantifiable but there’s just a vibe about certain clubs regardless of their success at any given time. Chelsea and City were still big clubs when outside the top division and even when Chelsea were getting the lowest Prem crowd ever excluding Wimbledon.
I remember Manchester United winning the European Cup, I even know Celtic are in the history books having won the European Cup, the first British side to do so. Even Liverpool, Aston Villa, Chelsea, even little ole Forest have won it, not once but twice! Spurs however, well, we all know you have never won it, so it appears you are not as big team as your fantasies lead you to believe. Billion pound stadium makes good gift wrapping, just a shame you don't have a CL title to match lol. Even West Ham have won a European trophy recently, sorry remind me again how big a club you are?
... funnily enough, if it was based on the last 30 rather than a couple of hundred years we would be .. and if it was based on the last 10 ... there would only be Citeh, Chelsea and Liverpool above us ... How the times have changed eh? ...
The only thing right about that list is the top two, everything else you can throw in the bin, because it's irrelevant and just fanatic bolloxs. Although I'd argue Man Utd and Liverpool should be joint top, but I'm bias, so i'll accept it. Putting Newcastle at ninth is for the clowns. As for Spurs I remember Ossie Ardiles, but that's like me remembering the Falklands.
Big game of the day is Chesterfield v Bwood on TNT. Bwood need something to avoid slipping into the relegation zone and on a **** run. Chesterfield need a point for promotion. High probability of Lonsdale-clad scruffs invading the pitch.
I never said Spurs have won the European Cup/Champions League. First British side to win a European trophy though.
I never said you had said Spurs had won the EC/CL I was just reminding you of that fact. So in the grand scheme of things you are very much the Newcastle of football, that bangs on about history, despite Kane being with you for TEN YEARS, and not winning a single domestic or European trophy, not one, zilch, zero, fook all lol. Just because you've got a trophy list of clubs, does not make it any more useful than bog roll.
History counts though. That’s like saying England can’t mention the World Cup because it happened so long ago? Turst me, all Spurs arw well aware that the club haven’t won anything for too long and were desperate to see the club win something
