Supporters of all clubs make the mistake of basing their predictions based on hope. Last year I would bet that nearly everyone on here thought we would top four. For what it is worth, I was wrong as well, as I said 6th. Let's be honesty, if it wasn't for the genius of one player, we would have struggled to finish mid table.
Now the manager has his own team in place, I would amazed if he hasn't been told by Levy that finishing top four isn't an option, it's a necessity. I believe that if we finish outside the CL positions, AVB will be gone. Although I have little trust in AVB, I feel sorry for him in the sense he has had no actual money to spend, as the clubs net outlay was £3m to the positive.
Smoked Salmon, you must try and look at Spurs as if you are not a supporter. You predictions and beliefs are all based on your allegiance. I look at Spurs as I would any other club, and this enables me to make mainly accurate predictions. When I can, I try and drink with away supporters, as their opinions of our players and club are generally far more accurate than Spurs supporters. Needless to say this is not unique to the supporters of Tottenham. I think this thread should be pinned, so we can all look back at it in May. I am sticking with 6th
