Bigfooty Yid Army Thread

I would just like to see us do something better than we've done for the last 40 years before I die

Hard to do that when every season is a transition season. If Poch is still in the job come the 2016/17 season I'd say we'll be a lot closer to the top 4 and contesting for trophies regularly. Also last 40 years you've been somewhat lucky you've followed them for more than just the last 20! 3 FA Cups, 2 League Cups, 1 UEFA Cup (when it meant something) and quite a few top 3-4 finishes in the 80s

I think a lot of our achievements are dismissed because we made the champions league once and should have made it another time if it wasn't for those campaigners in blue from west London. Without having the exact figures on hand I seem to remember that across the last 5 or maybe 10 years Spurs are last of all teams that have been in the Premier League in terms of net spend; we've actually made money from transfers. For us to consistently remain in the top 6 in that period is a fine achievement in my opinion.

Yeah us and Newcastle are the only 2 sides (maybe Burnley too) to have that

I did enjoy the 81/82 FA Cup wins, although I was pretty young. I still remember Ricky Villa's amazing winner vs Crystal Phalus. So many great players in that team... Crooks, Villa, Ardiles, Hoddle, Clemence... great side

 

[kangaspurs]

Good win tyhis morning; not without nerves though. It would have been proper Spursy for Swansea to go on and get an equaliser.

 

[jd2010]

Hope our poor GD doesn't cost us an important spot in the league. We never seem to win by 2 or more goals. Can only think of 3 wins all season where we haven't had to hold on at the end or steal it

 

[kangaspurs]

So it's confirmed that Spurs will be playing Sydney FC at ANZ Stadium. Anyone going?

Never been to Sydney. Think its time i made the trip

I booked my plane ticket last week. At worst I'd get the SOO game plus the Swans on Friday night.

Am very much looking forward to it now

 

[jd2010]

Not sure if anyone on here is Spurs Australia members. Recommend it if you're thinking of going. Gets you tickets in a designated Spurs end + there'll be a function & open training sessions that you can attend. Can't believe this is happening while I've moved over here!! Impossible to get as close to the squad as you blokes who attend either of those 2 events over here

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Very disappointed as this coincides with a previously arranged Bigfooty meet up in Perth as that's where the cats play that weekend

 

[Tulip]

I'm booking Monday morn, just signed up to the Australian membership. So psyched.

 

[Tyler Durden007]

2-1 again! Happy with the win, but geez our goal difference stinks

 

[jd2010]

We were outplayed in the first half big time! Then we took over and got a 2 goal advantage but once again we can't do it easy!

Me too, if Everton win the EL then what is the approach next year?

It's been like that for years

Was, now I'm 50-50 on going as my car is stuffed and need a new car

 

[Father Jack]

The Park Lane area that is set aside for Spurs supporters is down to single seats, and the Bronze seats available at the moment are up the other end next to the Sydney FC supporters. I guess I'll just have keep checking

 

[FISTO]

There's always 2025

 

[lewigie]

Who cares about top 4 anyway..

 

[Tyler Durden007]

Our capacity to serve up absolute stinkers after good runs is unparalleled

 

[Tyler Durden007]

Southampton's GD is +21. We're on the same points with a GD of +5. Our defence stinks. Where would be be without Hurricane Harry?

 

[Father Jack]

We might find out in Sydney, Hurricane Harry could very well be with the England u/21s instead of his rightful place over here hard at work soaking up our adulation.
