  1. That's true.

    My views tend to be more firmly rooted in reality.

    It's Spurs mate. I think we all know what will happen. They should dream though. If anything, HIAG lets himself down by talking of finishing above arsenal and not about still aiming to win the CL, but he's probably on a major downer after going from title contenders to fighting for 4th in the space of 2 weeks. Then again, Spurs could be 4-0 up in a game and I've known fans that still had something to moan about.

    Well i hoped that manager of theirs Pinnochio controlled his behaviour today and did no more of that running on the pitch bleating at the ref....it was so embarrassing to watch. Then have to watch him squirm and apologise afterwards, no wonder Manchester United went for Solskjaer and just looked at Mauricio and laughed, uttering as they turned their backs on him, seriously that guy is a joke! <laugh>

    Lol on the contrary, getting past their defence was a piece of piss in the first half. Actually finishing our chances... well that’s another story.

    He was banned from the pitch so no chance lol. In a pre-match meltdown he still insisted the punishment was unfair and he was going to examine future footage of all managers to see if they get the same punishment <laugh> I think we may have lucked out tbh.

    If Tottenham won the Champions League - **** knows what their odds are btw, can’t be arsed to look - they would rightly be crowned Champions of Europe.

    The more English teams that get the chance to “dream the dream”, the better it is for English football. It’s always better for England to be involved in Europe, on as many levels as possible. It’s called embracing the opportunities on your doorstep.

    Spurs are just Keegan’s Newcastle United of this particular decade. Flashy loserball brought to you by a useless gimp, being fapped over by completely deluded fans. Eventually they will fall at the feet of Manchester United.

    From a completely unbiased perspective ... we can't all be title winners ... there will always be some within our brethren that hold deep seated resentment for that which others may have achieved ... and it goes far wider of football ... just the way of the world ... <cheers>

    Simply put, it's like giving all the kids a losers medal at school these days. You used to just get one elite winner (European Cup) and now Tottenham fans can be winners too (not Champions League).

    I think that's a decent comparison but actually they're more like is under Bobby Robson. Great core of British players, consistently finishing in the top four but without ever really being serious challengers.

    Not sure if you’re just trying to wind up the Spurs fans? Nothing wrong with that if you are.

    But saying only last seasons domestic Champions should compete in the CL, is like saying only countries that topped their qualifying group should be allowed at the WC Finals; it’s a pointless argument, basically. They still have to go there and win it (or in Spurs case, probably not).

    It's the title of the competition that is rather irritating - the majority of the teams in it are not the 'champions' of their respective countries - the concept of the competition is OK ... and any winner of it deserves the recognition of 'best European team' for that season <ok>

    Well, they are still in it for now and have a sluggers chance in a WBA/WBC fight but at the end of the day it’s all about pedigree and winners and losers.

    Exactly mate the World Cup, top two in each group. We all remember in yer pop Leicester. I mean what a fooking embarrassment. Spurs one chance of winning the PL and they bottled it. The same as Pinocchio bottled it this season! If Spurs were to win the CL it would be a fourth/fifth rate team, dependent on Arsenal...not real Champions Elite. Even Nottingham Forest of all clubs achieved what Spurs can't.
