To be fair, after we won the league cup we were utterly shit. I think he and Keane realised Ramos was useless and wanted out ASAP.
The big shame of course was not having those 2 in the same team as Modric.

Definitely. Problem is that we are a way from winning the major ones and we won't prioritise the ones that we have a better chance of winning. Like it or not, we can't complain about the media doubters when we're not winning trophies. We have a great long term strategy but the media are interested in successful sides and successful sides are those that win trophies. I think that on the whole we get decent treatment from the media. The media aren't Spurs fans - they're not obligated to blow smoke up our backsides just because we have a team with potential.

Do you honestly think those 8 fa cup semi finals or two league cup finals we weren't trying our hardest to win?

I didn't say that. I just said that the media focus on winning teams - teams who win trophies.

You said we didn't prioritise. Yet we have got to a lot of semis and a couple of finals and been beat. I don't think it's because we didn't prioritise those games just a mixture of bad luck and possibly mentality of the players.

Fair enough mate. Yes, I think that mentality does play a part. My point was though that we can't just expect favourable media coverage.

Totally agree. Although i don't think we have had negative media coverage. At least no more than we probably deserve.
