This is the most Mickey Mouse of Mickey Mouse competitions. We’d have been better off finishing behind Arsenal and not having European football at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ace, we don`t know it will be mickey mouse, it may be a good competition. And I am pleased Spurs are in it. Otherwise most of the squad players will be getting zero game time for most of the season.
Any European football is better than none. The Cup Winners Cup didn`t always have the stella clubs in it, but it was a very decent competition.

Rubbish. That's like saying we would be better off in the Championship and let Arsenal play in the PL.
Any European footie is better than nothing. Apart from anything else it's a cup to be won ( like we don't need that as we have soooo many already ) a chance to give some fringe players valuable first team experience, and keep Spurs profile in the public domain.

It’s a 3rd rate European competition let’s be honest. Whatever way we look at it, we will be taken the p** out of. If we don’t win it, we will get completely battered by just about everyone. If we do win it, we will get laughed at for playing some European farmer in a 20k stadium. It’s a p** poor competition like the Inter toto cup. The only reason I’m looking forward is to see maybe Dane Scarlett get some games.
Who?
I mean, I’m familiar with both Larne and Pacos de Ferreira...

Exactly Don, it’s a hiding to nothing. Should be used to blood the kids and get injured players back to match fitness, great opportunity for that but nothing more.

Do me a favour Sandy, we will be playing Romanian working men’s teams in front of two men and a dog on potato fields near Transylvania at all hours while our rivals are relaxing ahead of the weekends PL fixtures.
Even if we were to win it it would be derided, not respected. There’s so little value in this - it’s not proper European football, it’s a third tier of European football created to generate more sponsorship. Great for the little clubs from Bulgarian hamlets, but an unnecessary headache for us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But it gives the squad players games so is very useful. Otherwise most of them will get little or no game time. With the massive modern squads of 25 players, essential that clubs are in as many competitions as possible, whatever the opposition.
I always think it is arrogant of supporters to think they are above Spurs competing in any competition.

Absolutely, I cannot believe the arrogance of our fans, thinking this competition is below them, when Spurs have not won a bean for years.

Sorry mate, I am old school. Learn to respect any competition Spurs are in. I bet 15 years back when Spurs were scrambling to get into any kind of European competition our supporters would have been over the moon to be in this competition.
I would imagine given the chance clubs like Leeds and Villa would kill to have some kind of European stuff, even if it was only this Conference stuff.
For those supporters that are dismissing this new competition, I have to assume they think then that Spurs are in with a chance of winning the Prem then, if they think Spurs should be concentrating on other competitions.

You should know all about that fella, were not your club a regular in the Full Members Cup before the Oil money turned up.
Competed in it once, got to the final
Micky mouse competition Sandy, end of story. A trophy for clubs finishing 7th and near mid table is nothing to shout about. Like I say, good for the youngsters and playing the fringe players, nothing more

Man City have won 1 European title in their history and have been to as many CL finals as we have
This is a competition where unless a decent team drops out of the Europa, the only teams it is acceptable to lose to are Roma, Feyenoord and Basel, and we’re a lot better than the latter 2. People might say that’s arrogant, but look at who is in this and compare it to the league cup, the league cup will be far more difficult.
I do feel like we are destined to get knocked out by Roma at some point with Mourinho really rubbing it in.

Spurs were a good cup team back a while, either of those would be a starting point for this squad moving forward, not entirely sure why they created this new European comp to be honest?
