As much as i hate the doom mongers, i think that the stadium merry go round and the necessary frugality caused by the build will mean that we will see a slight slump in form all of which i feel is completely understandable and inevitable.

If anything our success over the last few years is ahead of schedule. Once we are established in the new stadium proper and we can start really competing commercially then the sky is really the limit. But for now a top four (three?) finish and maintaining a CL presence would be acceptable for me. Also massively depends on whether the "big dogs" under achieve again.

Unfortunately i feel that anything less than a trophy would be viewed as a failure by many for and against the club.

The promised land is closer than it's ever been, within touching distance, just need to be happy and patient with these rations until then.

This. I couldn't have put it in better words, everything you said
 
I don't think Wembley will have as big an impact as some think it will. I think we'll progress again and win the title, I don't see anyone else being as good as us even though I think some of our rivals will improve also.
 
The squad is still young, but now has two years of experience of effectively being the sole challenger to the eventual winners. Keeping the squad intact is the primary concern & this is why I wouldn't entertain selling Walker to city (unless it's Poch's decision to fire him off). If he wants out, he can go abroad.
There's no reason why we shouldn't go close (or better) again if we can keep the squad happy & healthy, Wembley or not. I've got over my Wembley jitters & think it will be just as difficult for the opposing teams. We don't concede many after all.

Winners next season - with the caveat of keeping the squad fit.

For me Wembley is the issue.

We can ignore it but our form there is abysmal and anyone who went to CL nights and even older UEFA/ EL nights at the Lane will know that Wembley was the difference in us doing so badly last season in Europe.

In the League it was our away form so we could be double fucked this year.

Saying that if we can sort those two things out I expect us to win the League.

These two fixtures stand out for me...
Newcastle and South Yorkshire for lunchtime kick-offs...

They really DON'T GIVE A shit about where fans have to travel from, and what time they'd have to leave to get there!

I imagine plenty of Spurs fans will be spending Saturday night in Newcastle.. . ...and stagger over to the ground, bleary eyed first thing Sunday!

9 hour overnight flight back from Florida into Gatwick, and then straight onto Wembley for 4pm. Then 3 and a half hour journey back home to Somerset. Work at 7am the next day. Going to be absolutely shattered but i have my priorities set straight, Spurs all the way hahaha
