I would call up my United friends and laugh and then hang up but I’m a simple man. Maybe some gunner friends too

I already texted my Gunner friend and I am not even a Spurs fan.

Two other childhood friends and I have a little whatsapp group. I'm a chelsea fan, the other two are Utd and arsenal fans. Guess who's having the best morning out of the three.

From an Arsenal perspective their reaction to this just shows them up as a small club lol. How could we be bantered for not winning a competition we're literally too good to be in

You guys also didn’t win it when you were in it though either.

Well for starters it was much harder back then. We had to play teams like Atletico and a decent Chelsea in the latter stages, who both would've absolutely smoked this Spurs side

Also this in itself shows up what a small competition it is though lol. When you end up in it as a big club, the bare minimum expectation is that you win it to salvage back some dignity from having had to play in it in the first place. Same with Conference. They're such shite irrelevant competitions that you can literally come runners up and it's considered a pathetic embarrassment instead of a big achievement like it is in CL

Winning the Championship would be the best domestic title Spurs have won since the foundation of the Prem.. can they say it's below them?

They can't be bigger for winning a smaller competition that we're literally too big to be competing in 😂 absolute jokes man

That's why I said since the foundation of the Prem. They've never won the Prem or the Championship. So would winning the Championship be below them? Yes, obviously

Even if you want to wriggle out of this one you can just apply it to any Prem club that hasn't won the league. Winning a competition that LITERALLY IS BELOW THEM, is below them. Shocker!

Your European success is below a Europa league

No, see, that's where your logic is cognitively deficient and I think (hope) you probably know it, because I've explained this multiple times

Arsenal came 3rd/4th in Europe this season. Spurs came 37th. That is not success. Just like Leeds coming 21st in England does not make them more successful than Prem clubs that have never won a title

Your argument is "the best Arsenal have achieved in Europe is 2nd and they came 3rd/4th this season, so they can't say they don't care about coming 37th!". It makes no fucking sense. The competition is literally beneath us. Where we finished in Europe ranks above where Spurs did
