Nah mate I haven’t done too many European aways unfortunately, you’ve gotta have a crazy amount of points to get a ticket. Only way I get tickets for European away days is via my cousin who’s got mates that have been ST holders for like 15-20 years.

Anderlecht and Dortmund are the two European grounds I’ve been for Spurs away. I’ve also been to Ajax-PSV too, amazing experience that one, highly recommend to anyone ever considering it.

That isn't comically wrong mate, that's seriously wrong. How do you link the two together?

Tel us all how getting to one final (which you lost inside 2 minutes) is better over 5 years than winning a final and a league title.
Leicester are still in with a very good chance of playing in the CL next season too, Spurs are not.

Explain to all the migrants from the pond life board (and most of your own board from the reactions on here) what has made Spurs last 5 years better than Leicesters.

Quite easily, thanks for asking

Tell me how mounting two title challenges and reaching two finals in those five seasons should just be ignored for the sake of auditioning for SpursFanTV? Because that is what KingHotspur was doing, and somehow this point is going over the heads of quite a lot of Pond Life regulars to the surprise of...well, probably a lot of Pond Life members, since a few of them haven't figured out how to look up judging by the dreck they usually post

So let me explain to you what has made our last five seasons better than Leicester's: we haven't spent most of the time between A and B in midtable. And this is the point: if we'd won the league and spent three/four years not only out of the title race but nowhere near qualifying for the Champions league, do you honestly believe that the reactionary wing of our support base would be happy? Let me answer that: no, they'd be moaning that we went from winning the league to finishing seventh one season to the next

And that's the problem with The Great Unread popping over, that never occurs to them because all they know is talking **** at great length and getting arsey when they get called out on it

Which reminds me, where is that mardy Newcastle fan who didn't like me having a better understanding of why their club's takeover failed than they did? I haven't seen them waddle in here yet

Yeah, think you have had a few trips out there in the europa. I know one of my mates went and had a great time. Wondering how much better it is in real life

We played them once in the Europa, IIRC. Match went on forever and then we had Chelsea on Sunday in the FA Cup and were knackered.

I remember watching a game a few years back where the ground had a shear cliff face behind one goal, not sure where it was though.

You appear to have forgotten (or are pretending to have forgotten) what you actual posted, here let me help you out.

Here’s the post from @KingHotspur

Leicester have won the PL and FA Cup in the last 5 years.

But Spurs have accured more league points so who’s had the better time

https://www.not606.com/threads/rival-watch.112743/page-3411#post-14892465

And here’s your reply;

We have, given we've actually done something in the three seasons between A and B

Remember how you said other Spurs fans were disagreeing with me, and I pointed out the only one who had was KingHotspur - who posted the comment I replied to? Yeah, you copy/pasting a couple of comments doesn't disprove that, it merely makes it look like I pissed you off by pointing out that you were talking ****e

And the point remains: we didn't win the title, drop into midtable for a few seasons, then win an FA Cup. And this is the point that you are either being wilfully ignorant of, or need to urgently call a plumber over because you really should have figured out why your drinking water tastes funny, but do you really think Spurs fans would accept that? Or do you think the reactionary berks that shout the loudest would completely and utterly lose their **** about us dropping from 1st to 7th from one season to the next would do what they usually do and be a bunch of insufferable, moaning idiots and remain insufferable, moaning idiots for the season afterwards?

If you're going to insist on wading in, perhaps wear wellingtons instead of pink bunny slippers?

So "mounting challenges" is better than winning stuff, fair enough <ok>

Have you taken into account the perceived size and expectations of the clubs involved? Leicester have been incredibly successful over the lat 5 years while Spurs have been a lot of bluster and a bit of a let down in truth.

I dislike Leicester with a passion, both the City and the football team. Maybe because I used to work for the Alliance & Leicester and spent many hours travelling from Kent to Leicester for increasingly dull and boring meetings, then finding that the City centre was equally dull and boring when we were out after work.

Then there generally average football team went and captured the most of the nations imagination by having a title challenge that kept gaining momentum until suddenly they were everyones 2nd favourite team, the media loved them and ignored many of the less appetising aspects of their play and even refs started reffing matches to their own rules to help them. Well not me - I respect their achievements which are amazing, but I was never a fan and once they had appointed Rogers that was the final nail in the coffin.

Oh and Paul Dickov played for them too.
