Rhineland said:GHoddle said:I certainly didn't expect to win this game anyway, in fact I'm astounded that we even won at Old Trafford, since clearly we're trying to implement an entirely different style of play with many new players. It's hard enough to play against a top quality team that has had years of stability and practice playing the same way, but playing away makes it even more difficult. I'm sure it will be a more even match at WHL later in the season.
A more even match? 100+ million spent and you don't ask for more?! Tottenham's season could well be over already by then: League Cup - out, FA-Cup - out, European Cup - Eastenders, PL - oh well, THIS was Tottenham's chance and arguebly their biggest match of the season (Sherwood: "Forget Old Trafford, Arsenal is the match that everyone wants to win" or something along that line) to keep some hope alive and put a dent in Arsenal's good run and they just bottled it.
To take a page out of THFC6061's playbook, we had a negative net spend. So it's not like we emptied the bank account to buy a bunch of new players, we happened to sell one of the best players in the world so it's not surprising that it set us back. I think we still have a better overall team now though. Arsenal actually spent 40 million in the window to buy a world class player.
All I really care about is the league anyway, we wouldn't win the FA cup or COC.
