Rival watch

...wait, that isn't the Chavs reserves currently 2-0 down at the White Elephant?

Their team selection was a LOT closer to their best starting XI than Spurs was.

In 2015 Chelsea won it and went on to win the title.
In 2014 City won it and went on to win the title.
Between 2011 and 2013 Swansea, Birmingham and pool won and dropped off.
2010 United won it and came runners up in the league.
In 2009 United won it and went on to win the title and got to CL final
in 2008 we won it and dropped off.
In 2007 Chelsea won it and came runners up in the league
In 2006 United won it and came runners up in the League.
In 2005 Chelsea won it and went on to win the League.

Only 4 teams have seen their season die after winning it out of the last 11 winners.

4 of the other winners have ended up winning the title and 3 have come runners up. So I don't really agree with your logic.

Those three teams all had squads capable of competing on more than one front - something which couldn't be said for the likes of Spurs, Liverpool, Birmingham, Swansea et al, which is why having players put their feet up for the last dozen or so fixtures can be fatal - especially in Birmingham's case as their players easing off got them relegated.

That's the issue with us at the moment: we don't have a squad that can compete on multiple fronts as there's gaps in our squad, notably the lack of cover for Eriksen or Dembele, and add to that Janssen's teething troubles that means we're not covered up front either.

You've won two trophies in 25 years. It's not like you're Arsenal or Chelsea who actually should be winning trophies every season.

Should Spurs be winning 3 trophies every 7 seasons (or is it 7 every 22) ... ??

It's actually 2 in 25 mate

 

[The RDBD]

It's actually 2 in 25 mate

So if Spurs should be winning 2 trophies in 25 yrs, and they have won 2 trophies in 25
yrs, then they achieved what they should be, have they not.

Yep, I'd say that that's their level.

Are you a secret Spurs fan?

Are you a secret Spurs fan?

Is the Pope catholic ?? Is 3 in 7 greater than 7 in 22 ??

 

[AKCJ]

Are you a secret Spurs fan?

It's more that my not-so-secret workplace-pastime is laughing at Spurs fans.

Shameful, I admit. But it gets me from 9-5

 

[The RDBD]

It's more that my not-so-secret unemployment pastime is trying to laugh at Spurs fans.

I try 3 times every 7 days (or is it 7 times every 22 ... ??)

Winning the league was very exciting

Ask your neighbours, they'll tell you what it's like.
