Mousers should concentrate on trying to get above Everton first, at the moment they are languishing badly as the second team in a two team city.

Historypool, the club that time forgot.

Spurs could do what we did in the CL in 05 this season, they're not the best side in the competition but they have a good team and manager.

My only concern would be playing in Wembley, while it's London it's not home, if they can turn Wembley into a second home they could do it, why not? No one thought we'd go anywhere in 05, Leicester won the fecking league, it can be done.

"You don't seem to comprehend the 'losing' part of being in the final. Yeah I'd rather win in a final obviously"

Na, Spurs fans seem to think that finishing 3rd is an achievement. Actually challenging for trophies doesn't seem important. I find it weird considering you don't won that many.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's about where you finish and titles. And as I've said we've won as much as you in the last 7 years, and reached a final the season before last, yet we've also finished above Liverpool 6 times out of those 7 years.

Could be a good battle between the Merseyside clubs this season Sandy if we can both be more consistent in the league.

"Celebrating mediocrity....you just said you'd prefer to lose finals than compete in Europes top competition and compete at the top of the premier league"

Point is that getting to two finals means actually competing for trophies. Yeah losing isn't nice, but it happens. Spurs fans seem content with finishing above Liverpool and qualifying for the CL twice since the change in name & format.

Everything that's wrong with Spurs and its fans is losing a game
You might be onto something here
----------------------------------------------------------------------


No prioritising a trophy that you have no chance of winning whilst throwing a place in the only competition that you have been remotely competitive in, and that's a stretch, for decades and then compounding it by celebrating mediocrity. Again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You're all over the place here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

How so? I suspect it's just beyond your comprehension. By choice or ability I'm not sure though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Celebrating mediocrity....you just said you'd prefer to lose finals than compete in Europes top competition and compete at the top of the premier league.

What would you take this season....2 lost finals and 8th, or a serious title bid, 3rd and CL.

Answer honestly now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

If we're losing both it's all much of a muchness.

What has being in the champions league got either of our clubs recently?

Better players? Nope.
Trophies? Nope.

CL ain't the be all and end all.

As I said to you it's all relative.

Spurs consider 70 points success. We don't.

And the kicker is Liverpool spent more money in that time.

posted on 22/9/16

But we've got more money.

Claerly this game is the perfect opportunity to settle the debate, Liverpool have beaten Spurs in the majority of league games in the past few years yet have finished behind Spurs in the league, but Liverpool have reached 4 finals in this period winning one, Spurs haven't managed to reach one.

So taking all the above into consideration a 4th round EFL tie is the perfect game to finally resolve this, then we can all be mates again and gang up on some other club.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Spurs reached the League Cup final the year before you (Poch first season, losing to Chelsea)

No?

Last 7 years.

Highest league placing: Liverpool
Most points: Liverpool
Most Trophies: Liverpool

I'm sure you're right though

Really abhore all this constant back and forth WUMming guys

I think we are going to be two exciting sides to watch this season. Our downfall is our lack of creativity, your downfall is your lack of a good defence.

Liverpool have not beaten Burnley for even longer, suggesting that Burnley are better than Liverpool.

Any other argument is moot. If you cannot beat a team then how can you be better than them?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Liverpool beat Burnley 2-0 in Mar 2015 and 1-0 in Dec 2014 you thick senile old twаt.

Good answer....not. WHat would you prefer. What would be the most successful outcome for LFC.

Would Klopp even keep his job if you ended 8th again.

Im guessing you prefer what we got, and while it is not a trophy, it is an achievement.

You might mock 70 points but that got us 3rd, and it was a damn sight more than LFC managed.

No answer the question.

Said the same Edin.....2 teams with young beautiful managers doing it the right way
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Would argue that they aren't beautiful; Poch has fat face syndrome, and Klopp looks like he should be a lead in trainspotting.

You've been in 4 finals in that time and lost 3. The won you won was against Cardiff who any PL club could have beaten. You could almost count Slippery Stevie Season as another cup lost.

That isn't that successful. Together with two 8th place finishes and a 7th place finish. Or is it two of those?

Galv and Edin

Totally agree, two good sides with exciting managers and play a good brand of football that is exciting to watch, also two managers who demand their players work work work for the shirt, something I always like to see.

I don't get the animosity to be honest, I'd put Liverpool and spurs on about the same level, Spurs have been the better side for the past 5 years but think we've closed the gap with getting Klopp and some good signings who are bedding in well.

Just proves you are doing a Spurs.

Sell best player for millions
Waste the money
Sack the manager
Find a brilliant manager
Year 1- Average, leak goals, glimpses of promise, lost cup final(s)
Year 2 - Much improved, top 4
Year 3 - ???
