Tottenham Hotspurs
I believe I heard the commentator yesterday say something like this was the 8th consecutive Fa Cup semifinal that they lost!
The media have tried in vain to convince the whole country that Spurs are some sort of high-standards and successful club that should be the envy of the rest of the Premier League
When was the last time they even won a trophy? Any trophy?
The likes of Leicester , Wigan and Blackburn have won more trophies over the past generation than Tottenham.
United were supposed to go on a long trophy drought after SAF retired in 2013 remember that?
Instead we're still winning more trophies and getting into more cup finals than Spurs and Liverpool since Fergie left. Oh and of course finishing above both of them in the Premier League but that's pretty much a guarantee , isn't it?
Not arrogant ... Just Better!!!

I think for the first time there’s been a real examination of Spurs after this defeat, combined with Juventus knocking them out of the CL, I would criticise Liverpool too much, they might win the CL...
Poch was playing down the domestic cups earlier in the season and he’s right in that the FA Cup and the League Cup doesn’t attract players, doesn’t convince players to sign new contracts etc, LvG lost his job after winning the cup, Wenger’s run of 3/4 FA Cups hasn’t been enough for Arsenal.
But winning them can have a knock-on effect, gives the the club a feel good factor and what have you.

Yes, and the point is that winning the FA Cup ultimately didn’t matter which appreared to Poch’s argument, teams aren’t judged on it and players don’t sign or re-sign for clubs bc of it.

OP celebrating finishing above spurs in 2 out of 5 seasons post-SAF?
Is that what you spent £600m for?

What média are you reading and listening to OP? I've not heard anything out of the ordinary, praise when they play well, brickbats if they don't. I have seen and heard a lot about Pep and Klopp which is fair enough, and plenty about Jose.

No no we actually win trophies, real ones, I know spurs fans are starting to forget what they actually are, in this dire post Fergie era we are on the verge of our 4th trophy in 5 seasons, you lot are on the verge of errr finishing above arsenal for consecutive seasons for the 1st time in decades

Pretty sure you didn’t win any of those for finishing above us though seeing as they’re cup competitions. Try again.

I think that my team Birmingham City has either equaled or beaten the number of trophies won by Spurs since the Premier League started...One?
