1) **It's a new manager and team, the results are only going to get better as everyone gets used to it, **and the young players get more experience.
2) We'll be buying players in the new year.
3) We haven't spent money on the basis of being in the CL (so don't have to sell them all when we don't).
4) We aren't a bunch of nasty cunts that everyone hates. Oh, wait...
So what is Tottenhams excuse for doing well right now?
