This season. We have a nice shiny trophy in the cabinet. The other season we should have finished higher than 5th way before the last game of the season. Rewards for the two seasons were the same, one ended with the team spewing their guts up, the other saw them with some medals.

This season.
We've won cups for ever, but the league only once.
Winning trophies is brilliant. We used to be good at it, that's what I want back again. So what if Ramos is considered as a cup winning manager only, fine for me IMO.
Let Sky and THE BIG FOUR do what they do, OK it would be good financially to finish in the top four now and again for the dosh the Champions League brings, but.
When we won the cup this year, apart from the fact that we had a trophy, the big news was the we were guaranteed to be in Europe next season. Well, we were already in Europe this season at the time. What is point of fighting like fcuk to get into a European competition of any sort, if we aren't good enough to get to the final at least.
So next season, lets forget this top four shite for once and try and become a team that has a good chance of actually winning a European trophy. :shrug:
Sorry rant over.

Football is about winning trophies, nothing more, and certainly nothing less.
There may be a few people who remember our final league positions in the 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's but I'll guarantee there will be a damn sight more who remember our cup wins in those decades. And the only two league finishes we all know about are the two we won.
Forget about money or the CL, when you see a big shiny trophy with all those great teams names engraved into it you realise you are seeing the history of football.
And when you win that pot you become part of that history, your name becomes written into it (quite literally), and the more you win the more you write your name into the history of football.
Our fifth place will soon be forgotten, but the glorious day we beat Chelsea in the League cup final is permantly engraved into the hearts and minds of all those who watched as well as into the record books.

How anyone can say lasagne season is beyond me. We failed. Never mind that it was only because of some dodgy Italian cuisine. We didn't make it. It wasn't pleasurable. It was fucking heartbreaking to have it all whipped away by cruel fate at the climax of the season after waiting so long and having so much belief. This season we won a cup. Was that more pleasurable? Well Duhhhhh.
If we'd finished fourth, that would have been more pleasurable than winning the cup.

The Lasagna season ultimatley ended in failure, even last season had a more pleasurable ending (due to perception we won 5th place rarther then losing 4th place) Last season and this season have both seen better football played then the lasagna season in my personal opinion, espically the genius of Berbatov.
The bottom line is the carling cup season bore the same result in terms of Uefa qualification but included a trip to Wembely and our first trophey of the decade its a no brainer that this season was better.

I think the media have built the Champions League up to the point where some people see only winning the league as bettering Champions League qualification. I've seen a number of fans say they would rather qualify for the Champions League than win the FA Cup. The bloody FA Cup!
As most people have said here, give me silverware over a semi-success that brings in a bit more TV money.

Are some of you on fucking drugs or something?
How can choking at the final hurdle be better than ripping the Arse apart (how gay does that sound?) and outplaying Chelsea to go on and win our first trophy in years?
There's no hope for some of you there really isn't.

There's nothing like spectacularly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, causing multiple brain aneurysms, several heart attacks, a couple of strokes, and maybe the onset of AIDS to really make you feel like you've had a great season. :up:

I was actually bigging young Gareth up on a Rangers forum yesterday.
Can you imagine, lad... if both Hutton and Bale fulfil their potential... We're going to be quite tasty from full-back in a couple of years time :-D

I'd have to say Lasagna, and I don't see why people can't understand that.
The cup was great, but it was a couple of one-off games (however fantastic) that don't really reflect this season. The Lasagna season had a real sense of us arriving as a team, that we could at last compete. I know we're used to false dawns, but that was the brightest one so far for me, that we sustained our form over a season, that people started to fear us, that the media actually began quite liking us and thinking we'd developed a spine, we were suddenly everyone's second team.
The irony is that our football has been more attractive on the eye this season and we've got something out of it at the end, but we are also back to the 'same old Spurs' of being frustratingly inconsistent. Yes, that's the Spurs way, but that's why i took more pleasure from the Lasagna season. It seems an anomaly in our recent history, and hence one to cherish.
Here's hoping next season eclipses them both. I'm sure most of us think it will
