Rsonist Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 When you consider the fan base, the tradition, the location, the money spent and the players they've had, Spurs are perhaps the greatest underachievers in English football.?

scared of who? Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Leeds closely followed by Newcastle. If spurs don't do anything in the next two seasons they'll be on the same level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 West Ham have a shout as well. I still dont know how they got relegated with the team they had that year.

Rsonist Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 yeah wednesday are a big team but they come like bari and napoli innitNot really. Utd and Wednesday share about the same amount of fans in Sheffield, no one says Utd are a big club.We have had amazing players throughout our history for a start, who we really should have done more with.While Wednesday, lets see, have had Des Walker?!

Rsonist Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Forest NEVER under acheived.People get this wrong all the time, they over acheived.They were not a big club before they won the European cup, and sure as hell 10 years after winning it, were still not a big club.Read the quote again in the first post -"Consider the fan base, the tradition, the location, the money spent" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadinho Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Newcastle dont have a big fanbase.They just have a big stadium and one football club in the city.Never won nothing, Spurs can be called underachievers as we were at least good in the past for a while.

LiamC Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Newcastle have a massive fan base when you consider the number of football fans : population ratio, and the lack of competition for said fans from any other neighbouring teams in their league. I can't be bothered to look for the story, but some years ago back when they had a 55,000 stadium the FA had to step in to stop them allocating all 55,000 seats to season ticket holders. They have some of the most passionate fans in the premiership. Consider Tottenham booing at the end of the first game of the season when they lost, compared to Newcastle fans who haven't done anything for decades turning up week-in and out.Anyway back on topic, Spurs and Newcastle are the top two. Both have legitimate arguments. Whoever said Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday and particularly Nottingham Forest, you're mental. Notthingham Forest won the European Cup twice, Leeds made it into the top 4 of the premiership and then the Champions League semi final in successive seasons. In what way is that underachievement?

Apache Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Tottenham have won things though. Newcastle, who've spent shitloads too, haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamC Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah my vote would probably go to Newcastle too, but there is a case for tottenham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
