What if those disallowed VAR goals last season, for a toenail being offside, had stood.

What if that lasagne game v West Ham had been postponed rather than played with a less than 100% squad?

What if that rule where Chelsea got our CL place because they won it didn't exist? I get they had a right to defend the trophy, but should have been a 5th entry.

What if Mendes' goal was given?

What if Willian actually signed?

What if we had won that game at City? 3-2 I think it was, Bale cracker. Or what if Balotelli was sent off for the stamp?

What if we had managed to get Alex Ferguson before he changed his mind and stayed at Aberdeen for another couple of years?

Don’t think Fergie would have made much difference to Spurs at the time, weren’t we on our knees financially towards the end of the eighties?

What if Laporte had seen red and Gio's shot had crept in?

What if Harding’s helicopter didn’t sinisterly crash.

What if We had beaten LC at home to go within one point .

What if we beat Liverpool in the CL .

What if the back pass rule hadn't been introduced in 1992?

I sincerely hold the belief that every tactical innovation we've since in recent years is a consequence of that one rule.

My memory isn't what it used to be, but I'm sure that when we lost to City 2-1 in the 2012-2013 season, we had a really good chance of scoring a goal in the 87th or 88th minute. I think the chance fell to Defoe and he missed it.

City then went up the other end of the pitch and got the winner.

We finished a point off Arsenal (although with a substantially worse GD) that season, so it would have made a huge difference if we had won that game; we would have made the Top 4!

And it would have certainly had an impact on AVB's stint with us.

And perhaps Bale would have stayed for at least another season?

Tbh, even if I'm not remembering the first part of my post correctly, I'm sure there were other moments in that season that could have gone either way and seen us into the CL.

A game of fine margins indeed!

Come with me now on a journey through time and space, wherein we discover how John Terry being a racist led to the emergence of Harry Kane as a world class footballer, as we find out...

What would have happened if John Terry hadn't done a racism on Anton Ferdinand.

Terry doesn't do a racism on Ferdinand.
The FA then don't strip Terry of the England captaincy.
Capello doesn't quit the England job.
Harry doesn't have his head turned by the England manager's job and agrees a new contract with Tottenham.
Instead of winning just 2 of the next 10 matches while the England situation rumbles on, Tottenham solidify 3rd position.
Tottenham qualify for the Champions League in 3rd with Arsenal missing out in 4th due to Chelsea winning the Champions League.
AVB never becomes Tottenham manager.
As a result Tim Sherwood never gets his big chance as 'the gaffer'.
Harry Kane never gets discovered as only Tim could realise and release his true potential.
QED.

What if Sissoko had kept his arms down, or stepped out of the box?

What if Lampard's goal v Germany had actually been rightly given?

What if Rooney hadn't been sent off v Portugal?

What if Henry's handball v Ireland had been given?
