By Frustrated_me Go To PostHEY SCUM HAVE SPURS WON YET😒
Viva is right, trophies mean more than showing up to hear the CL anthem, this current team would be nought more than passive participants in the CL. Look at Arsenal, proud of 4th every year culminating in a yearly ritual of getting sent home by Bayern or Barca.
Spurs hammering City would make this an acceptable weekend, strange feeling it wont be like that though
Its silly to say that Man Utd are unaffected by CL. Obviously there are still players that are willing to move for the money and the hope that they improve the next season, but you never hear about the players that would just never be interested in a move without CL.
You don't get stories in the newspaper unless players have already been sounded out and are interested anymore really. Unless you're west ham.

By Vivalapizza Go To PostYou've seen that Deloitte money league right? We are rich as fuck.
Obviously we need to get back in the CL eventually. But not just to get back. Just being in the CL doesn't mean you get the mega commercial deals. You need to be winning things regularly.
In order to build a winning team in the long term you need 1) money 2) foundations. We have enough of the first. For the second I'd rather win a cup than finish 4th and pat ourselves on the back.
Ideally you'd do both but if you're picking one it has to be the winning habit.
Rich as fuck based on being in the CL. It seems several of our newer deals have a CL clause and we have no idea how often we need to be in to count. The clubs wealthy obviously, but 4th has to be the bare minimum target. Or win the Europa which is pot luck.
By FortuneFaded Go To Post7 points from safety. Fucking hell. We haven't won a league match until the 1st of November.

The bare minimum target should be a title challenge. We've already failed.
I'm talking about what we need to do to be able to be a better team for the next 5 years. Just getting 4th doesn't do shit.
By Francis Go To PostTottenham look wank.
Spurs bottling it on the big stage! Never!
By inky Go To PostCity 0 - 4 Spursloool
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostLook at Arsenal, proud of 4th every year
This is bullshit.
So proud that they want the manager sacked.

By Fergie Go To PostSpurs midfield look below par. Getting swamped.
They'll rebound. opposition CM and defense are too dogshit for them to not sneak by once or twice imo
Side note, I can't believe Wilshere is playing well and hitting his stride (no pun intended). Maybe our training methods really are dogshit.
By Francis Go To PostTottenham look wank. Had their opponents been more competent, they would've already been up by 2-0.okay but wheres the surprise
By Baconsaurus Go To PostRooney is going to score.Fudgesicles.
By Esch Go To PostSide note, I can't believe Wilshere is playing well and hitting his stride (no pun intended). Maybe our training methods really are dogshit.
Maybe?
Martial is done for under José if his attitude (which I assume is the problem) doesn't improve.
He won't get many more chances to prove himself either.

By Vivalapizza Go To PostIf it's just based on being in the CL- why isn't every club in the CL getting deals as big?Viva pls, you know why we get the deals we get, the club is huger than huge. But sponsors are clearly a bit twitchy about us getting them maximum exposure and so holding some money back if we don't. Adidas means we can only be out 1 year, others might be 1 year, or 2, or none. I don't know.

Just getting 4th again and again means we're nothing but Arsenal, so you're right, winning things is important. But if we win the League Cup and FA cup we'll still just be playing Europa league and fucking the team over having to play Thursday/saturday. The team needs to be either in the CL or not in any European competition. The middle ground is a shithouse.
By Esch Go To PostSide note, I can't believe Wilshere is playing well and hitting his stride (no pun intended). Maybe our training methods really are dogshit.
His last injury was a result of Gabriel being shit at football so who knows.
Excited for him to come back this summer.
By Vivalapizza Go To PostYep - this is why finishing 4th means very little to me. The usual advantges don't really apply to us.
Obv it's preferable but I'd rather win any of the cups than finish 4th now.
Same. Finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th means nothing to me if we aren't winning things.

No, we just refuse to embrace the blood-spinning ways of the future.
By n8 dogg Go To PostSame. Finishing 2nd, 3rd, 4th means nothing to me if we aren't winning things.
I don't buy this.
You knew after 10 games you weren't winning the league.
By Wedward Go To PostI don't buy this.

So? I like winning football matches. Don't really care if we get CL or not, that's just a nice cherry on top of winning matches.
Would much rather the FA Cup every year over third or fourth place.
