As Churchill once said History is written by the victors and more often than not over the last 50 years (older generation of football fan) the victors have been United and Liverpool with Everton, Arsenal and Spurs having relative success in between, that was until the mid 90s when the "natural order" began to change. First Jack Walker at Blackburn then Matthew Harding at Chelsea.

Chelsea dubbed "The club with no history" yet historically have been by far and away the best supported club in London in comparison to success, also the first to qualify for the European cup. The Chelsea side of the late 60s with Cooke, Osgood and co absolutely annihilated European Champions Manchester United at Old Trafford, it was a truly great side but never has nor will be remembered like current Chelsea sides partly due to the fact it underachieved given the undeniable talent.

Arsenal the club that have a "tradition of attractive football". Clearly days of Herbert Chapman and George Graham, the foundations of The Arsenal's success are long gone.

Liverpool the club "with a great history". Undeniable but before the 70s, Everton were arguably the bigger and more successful club.

United dubbed the "perennial top dogs", "superior to noisy neighbours City" - Again, City were much better than United for large periods during the 60s and into the 70s.

Spurs "The underdog" compared to Chelsea and Arsenal. Spurs 61 side was one of the best ever in English club football and played stunning football. Arsenal could not hold a candle to Spurs from 50s up until late 80s. Though it shouldn't be forgotten the 61 side cost double more than anyone else's. Billy Nich wasn't called chequebook Bill for nothing.

I could go on all day but conceptions of clubs are based on the media (who by enlarge support the winners/flavour of the month) and..... us the fans.

Interesting!, so in essence at least a 35yr period of dominance...in trying to return that feat, looks like they've fell short of that in recent times. When you bring it down to basics, who's in who's shadow.

Benitez was, and remains, an utter clown. He inherited a good team, and slowly, over his time in charge, reduced it to a mid-table side. He's inherited a good team at Chelsea, but slowly, as time passes, he will sap the spirit out of it. He was always going to get the sack, because he could no longer match the deluded expectations of you Mousers.

As for Dalglish, do you really want to get me started? The was an old fool, with both feet planted firmly in 80s football. He had no right managing any team, let alone one that has aspirations above its abilities. Kenny-boy was on a hiding to nothing from the moment his vanity led him to take the job. He was rightly sacked, because he should never have been appointed in the first place.

Far from exposing "holes" in my argument, these are two prime examples of why my argument is sound.

Totally agree.


Utter clowns win La Liga and the Champions League and get offered top jobs in European football.

That's right, Someone knows more about Rafa, a manager that never managed Spurs, than the entire European football profession<ok>

But your little dig wasn't the quality of those managers, it was that we would be 'crying out for manager after manager to be sacked' because we are so deluded we think we should be winning all in front of us when actually we supported those managers.

I thought this little thread was to expose our delusions not your own?

These are just the myths that circulate around the press.

Arsenal have "always" been better than Spurs
Liverpool have "always been better than Everton
United have "always" been better than City

United have "always" been on top etc.

Selective memory by a selective few.
 
Tottenham doing their best to prove there really can be such a thing as a one man team.
 
Looks like Spurs are doing the traditional wobbly end of season thing.

You're through and that's the bottom line but a win needed in the next PL game bigtime

Ah! Mr Astroturd. How nice of you to pop back and see us! Sorry to disappoint you, but we did just scrape through. And, it wasn't the absence of Bale that caused our poor play, it was idiotic tactics.
 
And now they blame it on the tactics, haha you ****ers are miserable without Bale and that's a fact.

You may want to look up the definition of the word "fact" before you make such a poor use of it.

Wow that's some serious teams you've beaten there. Inter being the only genuine side you come across(still a largely struggling side themselves) and gets a proper thrashing. Why don't you lot build a statue of that half evolved ape already, before he leaves next summer. Spurs only 'so called world class player in the history of their club, Worship the ****er. Without him you lot are truly miserable hahahahaaaaaa.
 
Aren't Spurs the only big team Liverpool have beaten this season? Probably shouldn't be trying to belittle our side...

Also if Suarez is better than Bale and Bale's a one man team for Spurs, why aren't you guys still in the Europa League and why are we ahead of you in the league?

Redbummer does seem to be on to something, though, Tots.

Crack, would be my bet.

You have to be joking

1. Need to differentiate between League Cup and Fa Cup, We WON the League Cup and LOST the FA Cup to Chelsea.

2. Redbummer? Really! Really!

I didn't think it was possible, but you seem to have got dumber since your previous post. Let's just stat off with Klinsmann, Davids, Jennings, Greaves, Hoddle, Waddle...just a few world class players to play at Spurs, but since you started off as Dougal McGuire you have to regress to Forrest Gump in order to continue your journey towards reverting to some footnote in the evolutionary table which wouldn't consider you a complete moron. Seriously, I bet plankton call you "thicko."

The rest of your "post" might have ironic quality when Suarez leaves in the summer.

So you;re saying that Swansea are no good? Really? This time last year winning the Carling Cup was supposed to be the epitome of footballing greatness, wasn't it?

#Talkaboutcompletelackofvindication

if you manage a mug this year, Watch you're trophy cabinet's door doesn't fall off when you open it.
#hasnotbeenopenedsincegodknowswhen nor is it part of the Spurs tour:) Just a dark area people are rushed past as they tour WHL

<laugh>
 
I honestly think Bale is a strong candidate for player of the year though, to get Spurs to third all on his own is a fantastic achievement<ok>
 
* Making fun of a team for still being in the Europa League
* Saying being Carling Cup winners is irrelevant, a complete reversal of the opinion from this time last year
* Making fun of a team for being nine points and three places ahead of you in the table
* Using hashtags even though Not606 isn't Twitter
* Saying another team is a one-man team as if Gerrard didn't dig you out of holes for a decade

Are you lot going out of your way to justify this thread this evening or something?
