You needed a little help from your neighbours. Still do.
Spurs are in a similar situation to that of Wolves a decade ago. You will be better off when the last of the generation that can remember when you were good have passed away and you can move on with realistic expectations.

I miss the days when we were in the top 4 and looked like challenging for the bigger trophies than the League Cup. Anytime we've succeeded in reaching the final of the League Cup during the PL era we've been a mediocre team that did very little else in the season. This one looks like being no different.

Chris, so everyone over 50 needs to go away and die then ?
What a refreshing thought, and I am sure so deserving of all the older fans, including me. I am truly sorry for preventing Spurs from winning something, becasue I am older than 50.

This ^
Spurs in all history, bar the 1961-1963 period, have never been classed as aa dominant force on the World scene more than under Poch, between 2015-19 period.
Everywhere I have been during that period, people would say how much they loved Spurs, how we play and etc.
Now, people say oh well you're 2 points off the top
I would have loved to have seen what Poch could have done if Levy backed him properly.

Not much to chose really. I liked Harry, Ramos and Graham won Spurs a trophy, Poch did OK with a few top four finishes. None of them though have really taken Spurs back to where they were pre Prem.

Spurs had quite a lot of good periods after the early 1960s mate, throughout 70s, 80s and early 90s, they certainly had players, teams that performed better than anything under the Poch era.

Spurs had lots of top four finishes during the 60s, 70s, 80s mate and added trophies to the top fours. A few top four finishes now, without delivering trophies, means absolutely nothing.

Yes but the 80's is decades ago. I was barely even a football fan back then. I'm talking about the Spurs that I'm familiar with which is the PL era. The years under Poch are the best I've experienced and they beat a token League Cup here and there.

It may be decades ago, but that does not mean that those of us like myself have to forget Spurs used to win trophies back in the day. Something they clearly do not now. It is getting embarrassng how few trophies Spurs have won in the Prem era. As I said the years under Poch were nothing special mate, only winning trophies can make them special.
I can remember being at Wembley and the like and see Spurs winning cups, being at WHL when Spurs won a European Trophy. Just about the only thing I can remember from the Poch top four days is they didn`t lead to Spurs winning a bean, reaching a couple of finals, where they didn`t turn up. Sorry mate but I want a bit more than that.
I get you being a modern fan get excited over that, but sorry, I just cannot get excited over winning absolutely nothing over the five year period.

This is categorically untrue. Football is more about money now than it has ever been, particularly in the eras you've listed. Back then teams could get promoted the season before and then go on to win the first division title in their first season. It's a different game now. It's all about money. Being in the CL meant we could raise our wage structure and blast our transfer record nearly twice over. Before Lamela our record was £15M ish, then with Lamela and Soldado it went up to £30M, then doubled again to get Ndombele. You don't get to splash that kind of dosh unless you have the income. All of this money was gained before the new stadium money came into play so it was about performances on the pitch and CL runs. That's what allowed us to spend more. Our wage structure increasing to more normal top six levels also owes in no small part to continued CL participation.
To dismiss top four as nothing based on a lack of silverware is naive. It's a process and we are undoubtedly a different beast compared to 10 years ago, before we first got in the CL. The squad is better, the stadium is better, we offer players more money and we have the 2nd highest paid boss in the prem. You don't get to do all that without money coming in.

The excitement was in knowing we were going in the right direction, playing good football, and coming close to these trophies. We didn't end up winning anything and that is regrettable but I've already been through why I think we didn't win stuff and it's been a common denominator for why we haven't won more stuff than we have in the last 20 years, through various managers and decent teams.
Yes it is embarrassing how little we've won during the PL era. With a new stadium there is no excuse for the next 20 years to be as embarrassingly low on trophies. Covid isn't going to last forever.

The excitement was in knowing we were going in the right direction, playing good football, and coming close to these trophies. We didn't end up winning anything and that is regrettable but I've already been through why I think we didn't win stuff and it's been a common denominator for why we haven't won more stuff than we have in the last 20 years, through various managers and decent teams.
Yes it is embarrassing how little we've won during the PL era. With a new stadium there is no excuse for the next 20 years to be as embarrassingly low on trophies. Covid isn't going to last forever.
