Onya bike Spurs!
Gifted a home semi and still failed to get it done. Herrera the Wembley specialist does it again!

How's St Totteringhams day going for you this year? ;)

To tell the truth I don't care about the FA Cup these days, it lost its prestige a long time ago. Can only assume Poch feels the same playing Vorm instead of Lloris. Not that I saw any of it after partying a bit too hard after North and Geelong got up.

As long as we finish top 4 and compete with the big boys again while other clubs are playing in Somethingstan or some other Third World country is all I care about. ;)

Funnily enough if Arsenal win the Europa and make the CL they would have had a more successful season than Spurs. Big if though as Atletico are pretty decent opponents

Not worried about useless trophies, only being a big club and not worrying about playing in Turkey or an unheard of country in the middle of nowhere.
I quote enjoy smashing Real instead.
Don't worry, I do remember what it was like to be a small club doing that, wasn't that long ago, my sympathies. I hope you enjoy St BloodFam Day. ;)

sounds like spurs don't like winning any trophy :lol:

I'll guarantee you the spurs fans in England wouldn't of gone oh well just another useless trophy we didn't win, especially when they've won **** all for 70 years. :lol: you don't make semi finals to lose. Once the stadium debt kicks in say goodbye to buying players.

Mind that gap

Spurs are not a big club :lol: what have they done over a period of time in any era to be classed as a big club? Put the pressure on? Beating Real Madrid?

I do agree with you there, the older Spurs fans were gutted. Having had North Adelaide and Geelong win that day I was so drunk that I couldn't even stay awake for the game.
I'm not sure which gap we have to worry about while you battle it out with Burnley though. ;)

the FA cup yes i agree isnt really the big thing it use to be.
But for tottenham it would have been a stepping stone to maybe for their sake, bigger things.
You have to admit wedgie you haven't won anything for a long time, and well overdue . You talk about the SANFL, well you are like south adelaide FC or in a way North Adelaide. Not won anything for many years

Like MH says, when the stadium costs come in, you will return to average at best when the current squad want out for more money and to win things, and you cant really afford to buy better then good players.

Sure is. To be fair it’s over the course of 27 years and I wonder how many of them they went in as as favourites apart from the weekend just gone. Portsmouth would be the only real big choke for memory as they were about to be relegated but in all the others Spurs would have been the underdog and not expected to win

I’d say like North

In fact now I think of it North and Spurs prolonged absence from trophy world has one common denominator eh Wedgie ;)
Will you go and support Glenelg for a bit and his North a chance of a flag, I’m not fussed about Spurs. :D ;)

I meant the home game. Then it dawned on me everyone plays on a neutral ground for the semi’s do’h :lol:

The Leeds Rhinos have been going alright since I first started following them in the mid 90s. ;)
