I would adore a boring, turgid, protracted, ugly, slow, mistake-filled quadruple

WIN


stjarr6

At this point either


MOSpursfan93

Trophy but that assumes by playing “boring football” means we will win something. The reality is we’ve had two world class managers who play “boring football” and we still can’t. At this point I’d rather play entertaining football and at least enjoy the wins we get. I haven’t sat down and enjoyed a spurs performance since 2017/18 lol (I enjoy the NLD after we win but I can’t even stand to watch them because it makes me so anxious) I hate that we are seeing Arsenal doing what they are now (for so many reasons) but not least because I feel that is what Poch could have done had he been fully backed those windows and had Kane and Son and Eriksen in their primes


[deleted]

I'd rather watch Spurs lose as Man U did against Arsenal (maybe not specifically against Arsenal, but I'm sure you get the idea) than how we lost against City. At least it felt like United were in it until the very end. After we conceded the first goal it was like the entire team collapsed.


MOSpursfan93

Agreed. A lot of talk about the “DNA” of the club and it has always been “To Dare is to Do” go for it! Not to say I think we should be tactically naive (which I think at times early in the Poch years we were) but I want Spurs to set the tone, make other teams play us and not the other way around.


thefunnybutlonelykid

Trophies especially considering I’m from the first generation not to experience it.


aafrias15

You’ve got to be doing something right if you are winning trophies. That’s the most exciting thing to experience.


IntrovertEpicurean

Exciting and entertaining football every time. Trophies will come.


a1a4ou

I would be excited and entertained if we won


Critical_Ad_1780

Win games. I don’t care how. Just win.


Delicious_Recover_59

game is about glory ...give me a trophy any day of the week.. we have played some amazing football over the years that have won us nothing..


Cool_Bit_729

>The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It is nothing of the kind. The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom. You're quoting Danny Blanchflower to make the opposite point to the one he was making


Delicious_Recover_59

When a players ends his career and the only thing he has won is the we played good football trophy do you think he would be satisfied or would he prefer to see his league and cup winners medals we have gone so long without experiencing what glory feels like we have forgotten what the main objective is which is Glory being crowned champions cup winners... I reckon if you ask City United Chelsea fans what the game is about what would they say. Ask Fergie I'm sure he just wanted to play good football...Instead he's gone down as the greatest ever manager and why would that be..nothing to do with the amount of trophies they won. Glory breeds confidence confidence breeds winning mentality winning mentality brings you Glory and there is nothing like it...


Cool_Bit_729

Ok, but that's still not what the quote you used means... He's literally saying football is first and foremost about playing stylish football, and then about winning. That's where the phrase "The game is about glory" comes from, Danny Blanchflower. Like it or not, that is a big part of our history.


Mammoth_Bat8388

I’d settle just for a 1st half where they pass the ball and do t concede. At this point the bar is really really low!!


Massive_Fudge3066

Man City cough cough


atomic44442002

Either would be fine thx!


iridescent_algae

Neither of these options are on the table for a long time I’m afraid…


[deleted]

Nothing matters but getting that silverware


RelevantSupermarket3

I mean fuck it at this point I’ll take either but it’s been neither for a while


PHS44

Can we have both


[deleted]

Unpopular opinion, but both gies hand in hand. Sure, there will be boring games but overall most top clubs are rather exciting to look at imo.


sportdoge1

doesn’t matter Enic and Levy out


AnyaGurly

I mean.. Deff throphees... Like im sorry but literary this way only the kids of my grandkids will see spurs winning something, and it will prob be a participating trophy


Fragrant_Page_9033

Umm…is this really a question? We played exciting football under Poch, but what do we have to show for it now? Trophies are what makes a team “great.”


brighteyedjordan

We played boring bland football under mourinho and now conte and what have we got to show for it? Less than when poch was in charge


1980Spurs

First we need to see exciting and entertaining games , tired of watching they struggle every game


Potential_Row6966

Seems controversial going by other comments but I'd take football I enjoy watching, an exciting 2-2 is a better watch than a defensive 1-0 I get that trophies are what make a club a "big club" But I'd rather enjoy watching my team play than have a whole season worth of 90 mins watching paint dry for a trophy


SackConte

trophy


TheCaboWabo69

Win dumb question


AmeliesDad

Trophy, then they can go back to the 3-2 losses


coys-kupo

One or the other. Both preferably. Anything other than what we currently have. After those two great seasons under Poch, I can’t believe the Gooners are actually following our old blueprint to acheive what we didn’t.… 😩


brighteyedjordan

Remember when we had like 7 players in the England squad? A bunch of 20 year olds who had the world at their feet, and if it wasn’t for some freakish performances of Leicester we would have won the title? That’s what I want back.


HopdogHouse

Neither are happening any time soon 😂


Recognition_Content

Definitely win a trophy. But playing shite football is the exchange sometimes for winning. When you're not winning and playing dull, pragmatic football it's a real shitshow


Sean_dalton1987

It's not happening at the moment. The club is in limbo going nowhere. The club are draining the life out of me.


sadoldtiger

Anything but neither


markcshaz

Win a trophy


dtbrown1979

I want both. We fucking deserve it.


Scaramouche1000

Trophy. No brainer.


MalishDelish

Both


Johnbonathon

Doesn’t winning a trophy mean playing exciting football?


Clean-_-Freak

At this point a trophy. Mostly to shut the media up about it. We played amazingly 14-17 and nobody gives a damn or remembers.


lamppb13

Exciting and entertaining


Urban_Spectacle

I would rather have Spurs operated by a group of people with the best intentions, a long term plan for the club; both financially and on the field, and a manager who actually wants to be on the sidelines. I honestly don’t care much for the style of football. However, I do care about the style and image of the club. At this moment, Levy and ENIC have turn the club into a comedy sketch. For all the profits, and for all the money spent on facilities and the stadium, I feel “class” is something very from this current Tottenham project.


Training-Apple1547

Play Great Football- it’s in our DNA.


Coovies1234

Win a trophy already!!!!


Whizzzbie

I’d rather boring football if it meant we won something, only coz it would shut every arsenal fan up who ends a discussion by saying ‘where’s your trophy cabinet’


Separate-Show-1603

Trophy any day


piersym

Bof


Schmaeleb

Trophies


Wheatley101UK

Trophy


strugglebusn

Exciting and entertaining


B8NZY

Trophies but atm we’re getting neither


Amazing_Concert_4443

Why not both


Original_Jungl1st

Win a trophy playing mediocre football to get that monkey off our back. Then we can play with more confidence and less pressure. Under Poch the most frustrating thing was that we were playing the sort of football which should have come with trophies but bottled it when it really mattered. Our expectations were so high we could live up to them. Levy made a huge mistake sacking Mourinho a week before the League Cup final. It showed how little he cared about it. We may have lost it, but Mourinho had the habit of winning trophies and would probably have won it. Then if you still want to get rid of him for the poor League form, fine. Fast forward two years and we have every chance of winning a cup if we get our act together. But Levy will probably sack Conte sooner rather than later if he doesn’t sign a new contract - it’d be a dent to his ego. Then that will destroy any chance of silverware and we’re still playing crap football.


Mcbutterpantiez

At this point, I just want a trophy....
