Landslide, I think we will be there or thereabouts, but for a new (team that hasn't won the title in the last decade) to challenge for the title it means a whole new mindset, grinding out the wins, winning when not playing particularly well, having role players come in and do a job and win a couple of games for you, being lucky with injuries, and not being spread to thin across too many competitions, if injuries do hit you.
Tottenham haven't had to be in a dog fight of a title challenge, our movement into the upper echelons of the table has been kind of stealthy, as our reputation for stumbling at the final hurdle has kept expectations in check. Now with the Bale Money spent, everyone is looking at us, as serious title challengers and we need to think of ourselves in that light as well, and we need to deal with that added pressure.
Which is why you aim for Champions League football, whilst saying to yourself, yes we are good enough to win the league. But a lot of things need to go right for us to be in with a shout at the end of the season..
