I admire your optimism.
Also.
You are clearly a madman.
:dierpochhug:
Just maths. With a little bit of faint optimism. I’ve been a spurs fan long enough, but at the end of the day to dare is to do.
Shame our transfer policy doesn't have a faint whiff optimism .
I think this thread is a good reality check.
We are now down to relying on a bench of 18-21 year old development players and senior players nowhere near the first team level. That’s not how you win the league.
I’ve seen the question posed “do you support the football team or the stadium?” from time to time on this forum.
It’s clear to me that the two are so linked it is actually impossible to separate them.
Our football club is more about investment in the stadium than the playing staff right now.
Support Tottenham Hotspur? You basically support an entity spending the better part of £1billion on property development. That money as people are so happy to point out is paid for by the supporters.
So our ability to challenge at the level we do on the football pitch is purely down to a perfect storm of exceptional Talent on the pitch and a great management staff.
Our “title rivals” City invest in the playing staff on a level never seen before and Liverpool have spent big on specific positions they have recognised as needing strengthening.
While the reality is that most of the money being spent at our club is on the stadium.
Imagine that same amount being spent on the team instead.
Then we are in a title race.
But instead I see us purely in a fight for top 4.

- to dare is to build a stadium - IMO that is the new motto for our times.
Doesn’t have a very good ring to it though, I still prefer the old one!

WE’RE IN ITCLOSE THIS THREAD.
Win against Newcastle at lunch time Saturday and they genuinely can't ignore us.
We'd be 4 points off top and sitting in 2nd place above Man City..
I don't think we are in it but we've gone a very long way tonight in cementing our top four hopes for next season. A truly brilliant gameweek for us.

Oh they can, and they will
with a game ahead of City and Pool, and I don't see Pool losing to West Ham. 7 points isn't a race when first place is flying IMO
This is all I care about right now. Champions League in the new stadium.
Oi Oi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picture of the year, if not post of the year, nailed down by January
Well it would be beautiful to go into 2nd on Saturday.
And become Hammers fans on Monday...... a couple of hours anyway!!

Are we going to win the league?
Nobody thinks we’re in with much of a chance, but of course we’re in it. Just unlikely
COYS!!!!
