  • Like Liverpool two years ago, this is Spurs best chance to win the title in a generation. if they blow it, they'll wait a long time for another chance.

  • I'm not sure I agree, I still think as a team, we've still got a ways to go in terms of maturing , and the window of opportunity for a title run still being open, obviously it depends on how the teams around us push on, can't rely on Man U, Man City, Chelsea, to a certain extent Arsenal and Liverpool, still being duffer next season, or the season's after.
    But if we keep the core together (always a big if, when you can't afford mega wages), and Master P isn't whisked away by a team with deeper wage pockets, I think we've got another two or three seasons of pushing on, and challenging for the title (fingers crossed), and if he's in for the long haul (Pochettino extends his contract for another 3-4 years), probably Champions League challengers/and hopefully League challenrgers for the next decade or so.

    Am I being hopelessly optimistic? Think the TV money changes a lot of things, making the field more even, and allowing teams with good managers, players who are hungry and a youth system to top them up if/when established players go looking for bigger bucks, to keep you in contention.
    But, big But, you need the right manager to select and motivate the right players, which is what Pochettino is doing so far...

  • Am I being hopelessly optimistic?
    Yes.

    I think you are.

  • If any of Bayern, PSG, Barca, Real, City, United or Chelsea come in for your better players or manager in the summer, (and they will), you'll be back in the cycle of 'rebuilding' next year and the 'bigger' clubs will be back on top form. You have to win the league now.
