QF's in their first (and only) season in it was a cracking effort. Spuds were an embarrassment to English football in both comps.
Bottom line is United have won 2 cups and made the C.L. Spurs would swap their season with United's in a heartbeat. Coming 2nd just makes you first of the losers. As Ricky Bobby would say 'if you're not first, you're last'.
Absolutely. I've paid my compliments, along with everyone else. I was merely making the point to some cocky Fox, that despite Spurs not winning anything this season (which everyone already knows, so it is completely pointless pointing it out), we will be completing in the CL, and LCFC won't. "Embarrassment" is clearly too strong a word. My way of putting it is that we went out of both competitions with a whimper.
It's not though, it's a matter of fact Spuds - 2nd in the league - CL place Pots = 0 Finals = 0 CL = embarrassed EL = laughed at Man U - 6th in the league - EL place Pots = 2 League cup & EL CL place
I think a lot of us on here is looking forward to the day when Poch & Spurs win the title of a European title, so that we can finally put to bed all the pointless and repetitive talk of "Yeah, well, what have Spurs won, huh?" and we can all concentrate on discussing just how good this Spurs team really is.
Yeah, that's quite right. Might as well shut this thread till then, eh? And indeed, not start anymore getting your bollocks out until such time also.
The media is, of course, going into hyper-drive over the Manc win. They are asking the question: "What next for Mourhino and United?" I'd like to have a crack at answering that. First off, for Mourhino, well done for avoiding getting sacked! You've managed to bungle your way through to at least another Season at OT. Secondly, for United, I think it's about time you finally managed to get to the CL on merit, and finish in the top 4 again. If you found it difficult to do it this season, next season is going to be an absolute killer, with the distraction of CL footy! Sure, you are probably going to end up trying to defend your Europa League title (after dropping down into that competition from the CL), but I am deeply concerned that The Lucky One is going to, yet again, sacrifice your domestic form. I'm not sure what you lads think about that?
it was definitely embarassing. Out of the CL by the 5th game. Lost to Belgium minnows in the EL. There is no other way to describe it. Only if you're a spurs fan . I think everyone knows how good the spurs team is, it's pretty special. Still not special enough to win any cups though. Maybe this golden period will bear some fruit next year
