AVB wants to lift Spurs first European trophy

AVB wants to win Spurs first European trophy... for four decades.

He sees the Europey Cup as crucial in turning Spurs from a losing club into a winning club, as the unfortunate club enters its third decade without a major trophy.

Not gonna happen with teams like some of the Spanish sides they have in the competition

 

AVB is a master of europe already

 

I bit unfair to compare Totnum with THAT Porto side.
They had both Falcao and Hulk remember.

 

Anyone that can do that doesn't deserve just a bonus or a few million a year they deserve their own Island.

I'm in the lab at the moment currently working on a formula to make pigs fly but if AVB achieves his objective before I achieve mine then fair play

 

Walter Mitty!

 

The Spuds will be lucky to win the mickey mouse cup in the next 20 years .

 

Yep because apart from that Valencia game at home he really spurred us (a team that saw the Champions League as the holy grail) on!

 

.

 

make your mind up,3rd decade or 4th decade?

 

Hi Totsfan

 

hi D/L,hope you are well!

 

Third decade without a major trophy; Gazza 91
Fourth decade since a European trophy. 1894

 

Likewise Totsfan

 

cheers D/L

 

Sutton playing tonight?

 

It's that problem you have with basic maths again. If you're talking decades as in 80s, 90s, etc then we've gone one without a major trophy, the 00s, two without a European trophy(90s and 00s). If you're talking about decades purely as a measure of any 10 years then it's been 28 so approaching 3 decades without a European trophy.

 

no,the next game is saturday at home to Bromley in the FA Cup

 

For us Spurs fans, you've got to understand that most of us take the Europa seriously, and see it as a competition worth winning. Harry treated it like a joke.

Thing is, of course, that we have half a chance of winning the Europa, whereas you don't stand the remotest chance of getting that lucky again to with the CL.

You did well last time out, but now's the time to get real, again.

 

Love the banter here between Tottenham and Chelsea. Regarding Tottenham's chances winning the Europa League - to go all the way is the equivalent of playing another half season of Premiership games. A very tall order. Where do your priorities lie? Teams like Atletico Madrid focus on this trophy as they know they haven't a cat in hell's chance in La Liga. To win the trophy you need to put out your strongest team even against apparent mediocre teams. Look how you came a cropper against some unknowns last season.
My personal choice are Atletic Bilbao but I would rather a team win the Europa League that progresses through all the group stages than a drop out from the Champions League! If they are not good enough for the Champions League, why then are they good enough for the Europa. When the two Manchester clubs exited the tournament after dropping into it, I was quite delighted.
