Go on then.
 
I have nothing against Spurs, I don't really associate myself with their fans or really have a clue about what their finances are, but I feel they've brought this situation on themselves. They scraped through infront of us in 2010 and went on to have a decent CL run. But what did they do with that money?

I didn't see investment in new players apart from a few quid to bolster the ranks. If my memory serves me right they actually got rid of players at the end of last season but made no real investment to take the club forward. This season we've seen them complain about us loaning them a Premier proven player, top scorer to boot, and not actually put any meat on the squad.

Spurs have tried to do it on the cheap and have fallen short, just as most thought they would. Levy was probably waiting for a pay-off from the FA for Redknapp and was hoping the renewed lucrative CL money would roll in the coin. He took a gamble and failed, Chelsea took the gamble and succeeded.

Who deserves to be earning that CL money, the Champions of Europe or a team who scrimped their way to 4th?

They may have been paying off the huge outlay that got them in that position in the first place. Didn't they outspend us not so long after we were taken over?

I suppose it seems particularly harsh these days to finish fourth and not qualify. With so much money being involved it's a terrible thing to miss out on when it's so difficult to finish fourth in the first place. With the whole thing being self fulfilling it's amazing that Spurs have done it twice, even in spite of their relatively high spending a couple of years back.

Browsing the spud forums, many threads on how to get their CL spot back

1. Appeal to UEFA
2. Take UEFA to court
3. Pay a team from a shit league to give up theirs


It's just like the club. When things go wrong, lawsuits and schemes. Just like they tried to do with the Olympic stadium. Then hack the phone records for West Ham employees. Any underhanded method to achieve what they can't achieve on the pitch. Their manager got out of tax evasion by claiming he can't read or write. The thief has an overseas account in his fucking dog's name. Many would say this is karma.

Some of the bitterness is just incredible. A large portion of them are convinced that they're more deserving of entry and the talk of suing UEFA is hilarious. 4th doesn't guarantee anything and it never has. 4th doesn't even get you into the group stages under normal circumstances, you still have to qualify. While it is a shit way to miss out, they should have (and could have) finished 3rd. Its not like we were responsible for them bottling a massive lead over Arsenal (and us) earlier in the season. After the endless bullshit we've had out of them all season its hard to feel sympathetic.

I think they should let Spurs play Barca, Benfica, Napoli and Bayern Munich over 2 legs - if they come out on top in each they can come in.

And you're champions of England. And United and Arsenal have fuck all. T'rrific season.
 
Yeah it's always satisfying to see the self-appointed 'old guard' lose out, and the only team that can realistically beat them to titles apart from ourselves is Chelsea. Very pleased with the way this season has turned out.

As for Spurs, they just seem like they'd find a way to be bitter if they'd just won the lot. A lot of forums are full of people getting carried away or being tits no matter the club, but no club's forum's seem to so consistently be dripping venom in various directions than Spurs forums. No matter the year, no matter the subject. Just had a quick look at a few threads on that 'Fighting Cock' one. Bloody hell.
