Glory Or Adequacy For Spurs, A Tough Decision
By: Robert Reed | February 16th, 2013
Sitting in my car a couple of days ago I was listening to a phone in on Talk Sport regarding Arsenal’s fall from grace and the attitude of it’s board and fans.
It was pointed out that on Arsenal’s official website there is a poll for fans to vote on whether, if it were one or the other, they would like the team to actually win something this year, or just qualify for the Champions League.
Fifty three percent of fans were in favour of Champions League qualification, and this was deemed by the presenters to be very poor form. The poll itself was deemed unsuitable for the club’s official site and the results of said poll a damning indictment of the club’s attitude and ambition.
It got me thinking though, are Spurs fans any different? Champions League football is indeed vital this year, but wouldn’t it be terrific to actually win the Europa Cup? We should be aiming to WIN things, but the Champions League is so important to the development of the club. Could winning the competition we are in now bring it’s own rewards which are comparable? Is it acceptable to want to be just good enough in the league rather than chase the glory and the memories which we could cherish? In twenty years time we won’t all be reminiscing about the time we came fourth in the league, but we would certainly have fond memories of lifting a cup in Europe.
It is a toughie. Any opinions?
COYS!

Who’s to say we can’t do both, win the Europa Cup and qualify for the Champions league. I believe!
-
That would be the ideal obviously, and I don’t think that impossible. For the sake of argument though and in line with the original poll; if it were to be one or the other.
-
I also think we could do both this year. However, for the sake of the poll I say we need to qualify for the CL, or the guy that’s going to win a trophy for us will be winning it for another club!
-
That is kind of the problem isn’t it. No Champions League this year equals no Bale next year. But then, maybe, if he had just won in Europe with this club? It would give us some credibility as regards actually winning things. I guess last year was the time to have won it. Pity Harry treated it like a joke.

I’d rather win the europa but then I am a romantic old fool. But to also finish fourth is achievable, be great to see us lift the trophy in Amsterdam.

Like old times
-
It appears Tottenham could go so close to champions league football again but what if they don,t and they don,t win anything?
-
Neither is a possibility if we can’t start getting the other 9 outfield players amongst the goals. What happens if Bale gets injured?
The Lyon match saw one snatched shot from Adebayor and that was basically it – all other chances fell to Bale. Spurs fans jibed l’arse last season about RVP but we are becoming even more of a 1 man team !
Sure avb is working hard on the problem, though Levy hasn’t exactly made his job any easier. -
I’ve been exploring for a bit for any high-quality articles or weblog posts in this sort of house . Exploring in Yahoo I ultimately stumbled upon this site. Reading this info So i’m happy to express that I’ve an incredibly just right uncanny feeling I discovered just what I needed. I such a lot certainly will make certain to don?t fail to remember this website and give it a glance on a constant basis.
