    Good luck this year, It must be so gratifying winning nothing again. I'm sure that 6th place with a QF Europa match next season will be amazing. <ok>

    You're very nearly describing your last campaign, except that you didn't quite manage to reach the quarter final.

    I was describing your excellent seasons winning the 'finish above Liverpool' trophy - but good try.

    How about a team leading at half time in the semi final of the League Cup.The same club announces at half time how their fans can apply for tickets for the final,said club proceeds to lose semi final to their biggest rivals <whistle>

    In the last 9 years your trophy haul is the same as theirs - 1 League Cup.

    So how can you claim the high ground when they gloat about finishing above you, as if you've got a cabinet full of trophies that somehow trumps it?

    For a team that's presided over the biggest bottle job in the history of the PL, you sure have a lot to say about it.

    Funny how you pick '9 years' <laugh>

    I wasn't taking the high ground. Simply saying them finishing above us seems like a massive achievement to a lot of Spurs fans. Finishing 5 places above us maybe, but not 1 or 2 and winning nothing for their efforts. They're going through one of their best periods and we're going through one of our worst!

    Spurs fans have (for the most part!) become arrogant nobheads since they qualified for the CL. The reality is they're a little club from London that get's overshadowed by Arsenal and Chelsea.
