Winning trophies just feeds egos........
Is it just me, or is this the maddest thing that has been said about football in a long, long time?
I know that a short time double knockout can hit you hard (April 2004, anyone), but really not even Wenger ever spouted such utter drivel
For 'Poch' read 'cock'
SIMB link? I actually thought they'd disbanded years ago.
Anyway, it's football; like love, the unreality, sentimentality, of the thing is the whole point :shrug:

Really? I’m a paying supporter and it’s *exactly* what I want to hear. You may say I'm unusual, but no I'm not the only one. Take a quick look at Simb and you’ll see plenty of fans fighting Poch’s corner, justifying his comments on exactly the same grounds that I would.
You admit he’s right, yet you think he should pander to the Spurs fans who are too thick/immature/sentimental to face reality by bare-faced lying to their faces. This is akin to telling a bloke in a frock that he's a bird just to spare his feelings. Since when did you think this was the right thing to do? :shrug:
"Unless you think not bothering to win the domestic cups each year frees the team to concentrate on the winning the Champions League and the Prem".
No, I think not risking your best available player (Erikksen) in a winnable domestic cup game at Selhurst Park when you've already got key injuries to contend with, plus vital league games and a money-spinning CL tie around the corner, is by any rational and objective measure a decision that is in the best interests of the club.
