How did WBA play when they last won it Sandy.
Did they deserve to win it that season?
Wow didn't realise you were almost double as bad as Everton.
Proper bad that.
Oh good... we're doing better than Burnley, Wolves, Newcastle, Huddersfield, WBA, West Ham, Bournemouth, Watford, Crystal Palace, Southampton
Cardiff & Fulham... Thats a relief
Here's an thought.... Maybe it all comes down to MONEY !
Anyway....Nice "glass half full" article

Showing that to win a title or any trophy for that matter is not as easy as it seems.

its not easy Sandy that's for sure,and Spurs were horribly mismanaged in the 90's when really we should have been amongst the top 8ish teams consistently. It's taken us ages to get back to this level and will probably take quite a few more to go further.
I remember going in the 90's week in week out, and watching poor football and the most Spursy things possible - one highlight, going 3-0 down to Villa at home (making Dean Saunders look like some barsteward love hybrid of Pele and Maradonna) pulling it back to 3-3, only to let in a last minute winner.

Well Leicester won it just two years ago, so no it doesn`t really all come down to money. Obviously money helps a lot, but you also have to have a bunch of players and manager with a mental will to win. Spurs haven`t got either. That needs to change.
Spurs have only won it twice, so it's not a surprice it's been 50 odd years as you aren't exactly title winning material.
It's ridiculous we've gone so long without it, we just haven't been good enough but still you'd be more surprised to see Spurs winning a title than Liverpool just to do with the history of the two clubs.
So you're about on par with Burnley

Nowadays I don't think that's true. I'd say we're very slightly better than you and have been a better PL side for about a decade now.
If somebody asked me who is more likely to win the PL out of Spurs and Liverpool next season, I'd say it's about 50/50.

I would agree, athough add a caveat that we almost went bust in that time...
Why would you say it's 50/50? We had an arguably better season that you lot and have already made one big signing, have one of the best young midfielders in the world joining as well and have continually made progress since Klopp joined. Spurs seem to be stagnating a little, haven't really added anything significant to their side in a few years and have another year in unfamiliar territory.

The window has just opened, plenty of time for us to sign a couple of top players, possibly a statement signing like Bale for the new stadium.
No way is Salah going to do as well next year either, so the rest will need to step up. The keeper situation is still as dire ever at Anfield, Klopp can't stop losing finals, and Lpool have developed a habit of letting things slip when the pressure is on.
Neither of us will get near City for the title, or United likely, but I fancy Spurs will finish higher than Lpool and Arsenal again which will see us back in the CL

It always strikes me as quite amazing that West Ham haven't won the top league at some point. Maybe it feels different to Londoners but they always strike me as a club that's big enough to have had that glory on 2 or 3 occasions.

In terms of trophy haul it is has been very unimpressive considering the stature of the club. The few times I have been at the Olympic Stadium they have the trophy successes around the stadium and it really is scarce/amusing to see how they spread out the letters so wide to fill in as much space as possible.
