the last gong Spurs won and it was ten years ago does not make it worth winning ever again at the expense of other important matches surrounding a league cup match.

In the following fixture list, which match would you focus least on:

Real Madrid (CL)
Liverpool (EPL)
West Ham (worthless cup)
Manchester United (EPL)
Real Madrid (CL)
Palace (EPL)
Arsenal (EPL)
Dortmund (CL)

It sort of looks like a murderer's row, even Palace (!). And since West Ham live only to beat Spurs, that makes the cup match even more difficult. As far as I'm concerned, West Ham can take the cup as consolation for going down, which is where they're headed.

Not making excuses, but if you look at it, you can see why less attention might have been given to that match.
