4th Place Beckons.

Spurs will sign Werner. We all know it. We will then be told there’s not enough money for the actual players we need.

Club has ZERO ambition past making money in the champions league. Levy has proved this time and time again.

But, unfortunately for us...it IS over!

Remember how far into their projects Klippety and Arteta are and look at those shambolic results when the pressure is on. Ange is in his first season, let’s get behind him and the team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Again, the voice of reason and sensible perspective!

We are behind the team.

They just keep letting us down.

I have been saying all along I fancy Spurs for 4th but changed my mind yesterday. Villa really Impressive with that big win. Very well coached team too.

Spurs look like a team that almost needs the summer break which is ridiculous really given you've had no European football and got knocked out of both cups early.

Spurs did remarkably well at the start of the season but a team will always face adversity at one point or another and how they respond to it comes down to several factors. A key one is the mentality of the group and i feel ours has been pretty strong this season.

The other is having the experience of dealing with struggles. This for me is a learning process and teams, even like Villa, who have had that continuity and time together (18 months for villa), can draw on that and the complete understanding of the strategy and how it should be applied in certain circumstances.

Spurs are still quite new to the current strategy and when we start to run out of ideas or go through a rough patch when it suddenly isn't clicking, we look like we don't know what to do, individuals make mistakes or these mistakes just get magnified. Suddenly the whole strategy gets questioned.

While we are totally right to question whether this strategy is sustainable we have to remember that we are still very much in a learning stage and things are not yet 'muscle memory' and we have to learn different skills, such as grinding out a result when the form isn't quite there, or managing in game moments better.

We are short of a few players and some quality in the squad and this needs addressing. While we have not had a massive burden of games it has been pretty stop start for the last 2 or 3 months and this also doesnt help.

Overall we are pretty well placed considering the stage of our development, it's certainly big progress in many areas. Whether we are able to make the next step will be down to how we reinforce and whether the strategy proves effective after we have developed the squad and broadened our experience.

It must drive you bonkers never being able to shift that tag. The longer it goes the worse it seems to get too.

I have always had a soft spot for Spurs and I can't really figure out why that is.

Gazza, Venables, Hoddle, Iconic shirt, we had a good record against them.
