You asked for an explanation of again, I provided one, though it seems you were able to Google the answer yourself, which is very impressive. I'll leave your colourful imagination to work out the rest.

Severely stretching the term title there. The title is generally seen as the league. The charity shield is most definitely not the title

Looking at the list of league winners doesn't do spurs any favours , a third the amount of titles as Chelsea........and Sunderland. 1 less than Huddersfield.

Did you just decide that only League titles count ? :rolleyes:

I fixed the post above for you.

Chelsea - 27 TROPHIES
Tottenham - 23 TROPHIES

There is a fair amount of trophies won by Chelsea and Spurs that nobody would give a toss about now, well, I'd hope nobody would.

For Spurs

Sheriff of London Charity Shield - 1
Anglo-Italian League Cup - 1
FA Community Shield - 7

For Chelsea

Full Members' Cup - 2
FA Community Shield - 4

I'd only count the main three domestic trophies of holding any weight in a dick measuring contest. So take 9 off Spurs and 6 off Chelsea.

Rooney off to the MLS, where the pace will suit him better.

Bad signing by Everton. He should have gone straight to America by right.

Rooney was done a few years ago. He kept getting picked on reputation and then shoehorning him into a deeper position to try accomadate him. Its a shame for him as I think he has a genuine love of playing football unlike a lot of others but he just doesn't have the legs for it at the top level anymore.

I dont think his physique and or lifestyle has helped his longevity at all.

Look at Ronaldo, hes going to slow down physically yes but he still has the fitness and work ethic and drive of a 21 year old.

Sure Arsenal might as well count the Emirates cup as part of their trophy haul, or Ireland can claim the Celtic Nations cup.

Im not moving goal posts, I'm pointing out the futility in passing off any of these (Sheriff of London Charity Shield, Anglo-Italian League Cup, Full Members' Cup) as anything other than tinpot cups that I wouldn't put on the fire place at home. :pac:

I won a Full Members Cup for the best score in a midweek golf competition in my local club about 5 years ago. I didn't know Spurs were a member there as well.

Greenspurs has to be on the pints since last night at this rate. Incredible Stamina.

If only Spurs had that Stamina over 38 games they might eventually win a league.

As a fellow Spurs fan, I hope greenspurs has his tongue firmly in his cheek.

The Bale money was spunked on rubbish - Capoue, Chiriches, Paulinho, Soldado and Chadli. Only Lamela and Eriksen were value for money.

Our upward trajectory started with Levy appointing Jol and changing the club structure the previous summer. Pochettino has taken it to another level.

Because he’s been so consistent, his achievements are now becoming undervalued. What he did this season is remarkable given that he’s managing on a smaller budget, played no home games and has had to manage a situation where one player is refusing to sign a contract and another is running his mouth to the press. You can bet he’s managing much more behind closed doors (which is not to say the players are wrong by the way but it’s tough to manage).

People here are right though - we’ve actually won f**k all and it could all unravel very quickly unless Levy loosens the purse strings and gets some names on contracts.

But for all the no-trophy talk, for me football is about winning games and hopefully trophies follow. I enjoyed little of Juande Ramos’ reign because despite winning the league cup, we were muck in the league under him. Similar for George Graham.

However, Pochettino has won loads of games and done it playing great football. I’ve gone into most weekends expecting a win and have usually got it over the last three years. That’s had me feeling 10 foot tall on a Monday and in good form for the week. My little boy supports Spurs now because most weeks I can say “Spurs won” and “Harry Kane scored”. All that means more to me than a FA Cup or League Cup (as much as I’d like one of those too).

Like many Spurs fans, I was getting disillusioned when Sherwood went. Pochettino regenerated my love for the club and, however stupid it sounds, made my life a bit better over the last 3 years. The record books won’t remember that but I will regardless of what happens from here.

Yes they count in a clubs roll of honours, but when it comes to a "who's the biggest club" argument like the one in this thread, I think the general consensus would be that only major honours are considered. Tier 2 league titles don't have much relevance here - is it a bigger achievement for club A to win that while club B is comfortably mid-table in the tier 1 league?

thebaz

Carvahal sacked today - he does seam a bit full of hot air - starts well and then fades - 10 games or something with no win no goals - similar thing at Wednesday - seamed more interested in telling jokes than doing his job - likeable character (in small doses)

Satisfactory result. Second place wrapped up which is the highest position United have managed since Fergie retired. Represents solid progress from last season's dismal finish.

Also means Jose can rest as many as he wants for the final day of the season with one eye on the FA Cup final.
