Have to agree with Bungle here. It’s not healthy.

You make a good point here. Agreeing with @Bungle is definitely not healthy.

Hard to argue with this.

Still can't believe they won the Champions League. We're going on about consolation prize but it just seems like a defence mechanism. Reality is it's the biggest prize in club footy.

I just knew when we were singing 'You're going to win **** all, it was going to bite us. Silver lining it was the game which cost them the title and the fact is we will always have that. I just don't understand why we all decided to sing that out. Why were we so convinced? Were we all being caught up in the moment of how great the game went? Lads at work have been at me about that chant since June 2nd and it grates me that i have to answer for a small minority of our fanbase who got ahead of themselves

The lads at work think you're a tedious kopite

At least that damn Michael Apted isn't making another episode of 7-14-21 etc Up for another 7 years. Just like he did in 1977, 1984, 2005 and 2019.

The Champions league is a major trophy but it isn't the one they really wanted and it definitely hurts them.

Champions League is a misnomer, most of the participants were not champions at all. The finalists hadnt been champions for a combined total of nearly 90 years.
It's just a moneymaking racket for the tv companies this modern version.

I can understand some kopites being in denial over this, the one fixture they usually walk is the one that swung it to City, but there are some blues who wont accept it, mainly because they cant give them childish hate for Keane and Pickford up.

They lost it at goodison, you could see it in them, they were broken, never seen the kopites so venomous outside the ground , delightful.

The EFC in the user name was a right give away

Dutch papers linking them strongly with Ziyech. Please don't let them sign him. He's just the sort of depth they need backing up that front three.

This. Yet they hate it when someone in the Premier League has more money than them and want enquiries and think it's not fair. Hypocritical idiots.

They don't need him mate, they've got the Swiss Goblin to call on when the front 3 aren't firing on all cylinders/flying through the air winning pens

Sure about that chief?

I think most of us weren’t expecting much from Spurs.

I) We weren't....you said yourself in your final sentence that it was a small minority. We knew this was their best shot and we were ready for them to win it.... but not the League.
ii) You don't have to answer to them. Full Stop.
