Spurs have the winning mentality of the England team which faced Iceland.

Spurs, however hard they try will never actually go beyond what they are now. They'll actually probably regress when Poch leaves with his best players following suit. There is no room for them at the top.

Anyone but Rashford
Chelsea have ridiculous penalty takers to be fair. Still had Hazard.

To be fair, they don't need to have world class players 1-11 to pick up a cup here and there.

Another "we put pressure on" trophy for Spurs. They are the specialists ;)

Chelsea should have won it in normal time, tbh.

What trophies are they picking up? I see none.
That's my point. Everyone is talking about how this is their ceiling. Spurs fans might bemoan their lack of depth at times or talk about how great Poch has done.

They don't need to be better than this to win a league cup or FA cup every couple of seasons.

But they don't.

Much prefer Chelsea in the final hopefully they beat City now. I don't want them giving them that title momentum if they win. Can't trust Spurs against City, all their key players would be out for it anyway.

Why do clubs choose songs that their fans can't even sing to?? The way the Chelsea fans butcher One Step Beyond every week is criminal. Makes me cringe every time.

City would have bummed us silly in the final with our injuries anyhow.

We gave it a good go, but ultimately fell short. Chelsea deserved to win it in normal time in fairness to them, but that's to be expected with the way our team looks right now. Just gotta hope we can scrape through the next month or so of relatively tame league fixtures.

Oh come on.

You've won two trophies in almost 30 years.

Don't act like you're above any sort of cup.
I don't, I'm pissed off. It sucks to lose.

It's hardly a big disaster which makes a mockery of any claims that we're improving as a club though, we lost on penalties in a semi final to Chelsea.

We were by far the better team over two legs, only VAR failures kept them in it.

Utterly beautiful that it would be Dier to miss the important penalty, vile player that he is.

Spurs fail in another big match, even with help, something has to give with them eventually.

I can't tell you how devastating going out in the carabao cup is going to be for this club and its future.
Yawn. Your club has won feck all of importance for a decent time as well, buddy. Not so long ago Roy Hodgson was on your touchline. Your different level has been to finish below us most seasons in the last 8 years or so, whilst also winning nothing.

Seems like maybe you've got a bit big for your boots because you're mounting a rare title challenge, you're aware nothing has been won yet right? Bit weird to be on your high horse acting like our biggest domestic cup is beneath you, oh mighty vanquishers of Cardiff on penalties.
Don't be getting ahead of your boots now buddy.

See this is why people laugh at Spurs.
Because I'm trying to keep things in perspective?

Nobody likes losing a cup semi, but we gave the competition a go which I'm pleased about, and the better team won on the night. We've suffered crippling injuries and I'm not going to rip in to the team because we lost to Chelsea.

People acting like we don't care/don't try for trophies when we're putting out pretty much our best XI for these kind of competitions.
