It's been a mixed bag for me this season in terms of stress or nerves, etc...
I was humble at the beginning, accepting that we were youthful and not able to see games across the line, but that we were at least pretty good value.
Then we clicked more and started climbing the league and I got a little stressed because we suddenly mattered. Then the Europa crap and tight schedule got my blood pressure up a bit and then I realised, bloody hell... We're actually solid. Properly, REALLY good at times and even when we aren't, we're still utterly effective.
I no longer fear the last minute equaliser, or the England batting collapse syndrome, its still possible, sure, that's sport, but I no longer fear its imminence.
When we go a goal down I now believe we can score 2, no longer hope for a dodgy decision to salvage something we don't really deserve. I ENJOY watching Spurs again.
Yeah I get nervous or overly excited at times, but that's because Poch and these groups of players have made me care again!
Under AVB and Tim I just lost it. Was so bored of our sideways play, that only Bale gave me any kind of reason to care. When he left I was devastated.
My six year old tears around the living room or garden with a (small - to reduce damage!) football and screams KAAANE, Lamella, Eriksen!!!
And I no longer feel embarrassed when his Bayern supporting mates and parents ask who the feck? You'll find out next year Bayern... (to be fair one of the dad's watched the Germany v England game and was flawed by how good the Tottenham boys were) Think I might start singing this instead.
We're coming for youuuuu, We're coming for youuuuu, Bayern Munich, We are coming for youuuuu!!!
