diary of a spurs fan

Can Tottenham fans please start being more realistic in their valuations of our team. Sure, it would be brilliant, fantastic and all the rest of it if we made the top four, but its no coincidence that the same teams are competing for these places year in year out. It takes time to build a side that will challenge for the title. White Hart Lane must become a fortress, and while it is important to consistently beat the likes of Middlesborough and Fulham who stand for midtable mediocrity, Martin Jol also needs to find the right recipe to take on the big guns. The recent losses to Arsenal and Man Yoo were massively dissapointing not least because we created a lot of good chances, and competed for much of the game. Perhaps that is the very crux of the problem. Maybe we do need to park the bus like some old Chelsea manager Jose something once said. You can't afford the big teams chance after chance they will simply punish you by virtue of their extra quality. Enough ranting for now. It would be nice for Spurs to realise their potential immediately, and turn this season around. For now rebuilding a league campaign must come second to successful cup runs domestically and in Europe.
