I just thought of another comparison....if you had to choose between having Newcastle's season or Tottenham's season (it has to be one of them), which would you guys take?
Yes
No

HCZ...one would think you'd think twice with the way you vehemently dismissed Liverpool's chances for most of this season.....oh well.Originally Posted by HCZ_Reborn
Newcastle’s season.
Frankly I’d take Palace’s season over Spurs. Spurs are not equipped to be in the champions league…they need to fix what went wrong that landed them in 17th. A Europa league trophy where the toughest team they beat was Eintracht Frankfurt doesn’t gloss over the trouble they are in
The difference is last season when we went close Liverpool were also challenging until about the last 6 games. Spurs did finish 5th that season but they were miles away from the top 3.
They are absolutely nowhere near challenging
Edit - so while I also underestimated Liverpool this season, they were far more credible contenders than Spurs
Seriously are you kidding me?
First off Liverpool finished two points better than they did the previous season.
Second, to be honest with you…I don’t think you seriously believe they’ll challenge for the title. If United had won that final would you be suggesting they might be challenging for the title?
Well I'd definitely take Spurs over both Palace and Newcastle...as they've got the bigger shinier cup and the CL spot to brag about.
BTW the original question has to do with swapping achievements rather than teams....so I'm not sure why you guys are making it about the personnel they currently have. If I've misread the question, then my bad.
But to be clear I'd rather have a poor league season where I win loads of trophies than another meaningless 2nd place finish for the 3rd year in a row...a bit like Liverpool's "pauper" treble under Benitez.
I think I made my opinion clear that I don't think they'd win the title....I also made it clear that my opinion on that means F all since I've had us as favourites for the past few years.

I said challenging for, not winning it
Yes I know you would, that’s why you seem to think the way Chelsea was run even under Abramovich
I want consistency not a complete chaotic car crash that one piece of silverware is meant to make up for
It was bad enough for me that we lost two home games in the league this season, let alone the multi car pile up that was spurs at home this season (fuck me they lost to Leicester and Ipswich)
Like I said earlier, form is temporary, trophies are forever.
If your idea of 'consistency' is that you'll boast to your grandkids (and this is hypothetical as you've expressed your view on kids clearly) that Arsenal had some of the best players and best teams continually coming second every year but this was seen as an achievement...then that's fine.
When they grow up, and their friends are pointing out trophies their respective clubs have won, they'll come to the sad realisation that granddad was just full of bullshit, like we all eventually do
