Tottenham bit, which sums up my mindset, not sure if I'm actually being overly optimistic, or a realist in that we're as good as anyone else whose in the mix for a champions league place, and as long as Kane stays fit and in form we should grab fourth, maybe even third. But then I can't help but think the league is wide open this year and we could win the whole damn thing. This could be our year. Though realistically we're a year away..
2) There is no cure for Spurstitlephobia
"You can see them all over the place. Men and women. Young and old. Doubt in their eyes. Confusion in their hearts. Their minds foggy with uncertainty. Their steps stuttering, their direction aimless. They can’t eat. They can’t sleep. They can find no comfort in the grape or the grain. “What’s happening to me?” you can see them asking themselves. “Why do I feel this way? I know it’s not right, I know it can’t really be true, I know these feelings are silly … but I can’t help how I feel. It’s an illusion, a mirage, at best a passing phase. And yet … and yet … and yet … I really think Tottenham are genuine Premier League title contenders.” The title race is one of the most open in years, there doesn’t seem to be an outstanding side about to steamroller the rest, Spurs are only four points off the summit, and they’ve torn apart a series of sides in stunning fashion … it’s no wonder the condition is contagious. The temptation is to suggest that this weekend offers a chance for Mauricio Pochettino’s side to go out and prove they are in this for the long haul by battering the reigning champions. But, let’s face it, even if they were to beat Chelsea, and even if they did it in a style similar to the thrilling 5-3 drubbing they handed out to José Mourinho’s side at White Hart Lane on New Year’s Day, you would still be left with that uneasy feeling, the sense that all isn’t quite as it seems. Given that the last eight games between these sides have produced 35 goals, perhaps an unremarkable 1-0 home win would be the most disquieting result of all."
