The season Poch took over we finished behind Everton in sixth place in the league so we aren't the only top six team in that time not to win a trophy.
It's all well and good saying that we should have won a trophy, but no-one would have expected us to win the league in that time. No one would have expected us to win the champions league either so it really comes down to the FA Cup and League Cup. I can't think of too many occasions when we've gone out of a cup to a team that we were expected to beat. Most of our defeats have been to fellow top four sides where the difference between success and failure can often be down to luck, injuries & refereeing decisions as much as tactics, motivation and coaching. If we'd spent the money that City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool had over the last five years I could understand the frustration at not winning anything, but Poch has been fighting with one hand tied behind his back for the last five years due to the stadium build.
All valid points. We've come a long way but I also feel now is the time for trophies and no more talk of transition or projects. We don't win something soon and Kane will walk and is going to be horrible
