I unashamedly blame millennials. Any discussion is completely null and void the moment context is abandoned. When Woodgate scored I went nuts, and here we pause the tape. Ajax away in ‘that’ Champions League game was crazy, but we’d not played brilliantly and so the goals from Lucas Moura were atypical. That was confirmed in the final which was utterly awful.
In that final, Spurs were absolutely not favourites – but we fought and we turned it on. My brother by another mother Teemu Taino messed with Didier Drogba. Since that great highpoint, we’ve been steadily fed a deeply disturbing narrative from context-free people that everything is groovy.
We have even had to sit through Pochettino telling us that winning domestic silverware was self-indulgent.
ENIC are up to their undercrackers in debt, and I am genuinely struggling to see a way back from the direction of travel they embarked upon; one that cost us a billion-plus.
