Still a chance for silverware yet?

[DanielCHillier]

They still have that? It's just a friendly though.

No such thing as a friendly against Chelsea.

 

[dagraham]

Would be good to win as it's at Wembley, but I'd be genuinely embarrassed if anyone at Spurs ( fans or players) celebrated winning the community shield.

 

[Graysonti]

Not silverware

 

[buttons]

It's a lot more meaningless than the league cup. It's viewed as a glorified ore season friendly genuinely. A bit like when we won the peace cup!

Ah the Peace Cup, great day that was...

What do you want them to do at the end of the game? Slink off, shamefaced, holding the trophy at arm's length by the fingertips?

 

[Shadydan]

We're still gonna get mocked either way if we win or lose, the real trophies are handed out at the end of the season but it would be nice to win the CS.

Obviously not. I'm mostly talking about the fans. Would hope the players wouldn't exactly be bigging up the significance of it in the media etc.

IF we won it the fans myself included will celebrate and love it accordingly as it would mean beating that filthy bunch of scum bags again
The silver plate would just be a bonus and the first of hopefully much silverware for our new empty trophy cabinets

 

[HobbitSpur]

Lol well I think it's about as meaningless as the league cup in some people's eyes but as we keep on hearing, silverware is silverware. It would represent a start wouldn't it. Breed the winning mentality as it's a final and all that. Especially as it's Wembley.

This.

To win our first home game of the season would be a massive monkey off our backs!!

 

[DJS]

Trouble is, if we get in it and lose it they'll be banging on about our record at Wembley instead!

We're damned either way!

I don't know what the point is in supporting a club if you can't take pleasure in watching them win something? I want us to win every single match we play, friendly or otherwise, and any tournament, be it League Cup, Europa League, Charity Shield, Peace Cup or Premier League. It being a dead rubber didn't stop me being delighted with the Hull win, nor would it have prevented me being pissed off had we lost.

We need to hit a winning streak at our temporary home ASAP, it would also shut the Chelscum fans up. For those two reasons alone we need to take it seriously and go for the win.

Never said I wouldn't enjoy us winning it or not be bothered losing. I just think celebrating it like we've won a trophy (even though technically it is) is a bit desperate.

It's not desperate it's the beginning

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

I mean, its no 4th place Trophy, but, it will do for starters...

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I'd rather we wouldn't need to play it and could focus our efforts at getting the actual season underway.

 

[Amo]

I thought it was the other way round?

It's definitely one of the two.

Problem solved.

What's the difference between playing this match and a friendly which would have been scheduled in the same weekend anyway?

And it would be played at Wembley where everyone is clamoring for us to get in a few matches...
