I know that Spurs have always tried to play atrattive football (I ma not a youngster by the way).
On the issue of strenght in depth of la liga and the Premiership I think that in la liga any team can pass the ball well, and all or almost all are tactically good. Spain has had the influence of Dutch football and Intalian football during more than a decade, with Johan Cruyff, Van Gaal, Capello, Rainieri, and now there is a distinct Spanish style of play that has accomodated the best of both styles. The top English teams have great players and great managers, but after that the gap is much wider than in the Spanish league, although recently it is starting to appear a second group of teams with a good level, but still there is too much dross in the Premiership IMO.
I don't think Chelsea, United or Arsenal would ever get more than 90 points like they if they were playing in the Spanish League. The Barcelona team of 3 seasons ago got 84 and they certainly weren't worse than any of those three.
