I got 99 problems and Spurs ain't one of 'em :nailbiting:

I did get a bit nervy and gave up watching the Stoke game at half time but that suited me as I felt like having a barclays anyway.

Strangely stress free in the main. Whatever happens ( barring utter capitulation from nowhere ) I'll be immensely proud and have been thrilled by this season.

Mostly stress free. I started the season thinking that it would be one one of rebuilding so I kept expectations low. The way I saw it we had a young squad and didn't invest much into it during the summer so assumed we were focusing resources on the stadium and developing youth to be ready when it opened.

Figures that the season where I've had the lowest expectations since the Alan Sugar years would be our best o_O

For years, our tendency to implode or do something so-called "Spursy" was what caused my blood pressure to rise. But that doesn't happen to our team now. I feel disappointed if we don't win, obviously, but I also don't expect us to throw anything away like we used to - that to me was stressful. So this season has had a calming effect on me, if anything. Just a lot more confident in our teams ability to get something from any game these days.

Or in other words, chill - we got this.

Not stressful for me at all, I'm loving it. Even our losses have only been by one goal, and they have then generally been followed by little runs of being unbeaten. The matches can get tense an edgy but I try to take the Poch approach and remain calm whether we're winning or losing.

Must admit I was almost banging the floor when Alli missed the open goal though!

Became a dad last year. My season ticket is my official 'me time'. Spurs are treating me this year. Bless 'em. I knew they'd pay me back when I needed it.

I posted early on that all I wanted this season was improvement in the team and a sign that we were developing a spirit and that the players were really starting to gel so I could be optimistic for the future.
I got my wish and more so I am feeling no stress at all and I genuinely believe we are going to win the title.

Not stressful at all.

This season has been wonderful. The football on show is an absolute joy and the only downside is the season will be over soon. I wait all week to see a game like a kid waiting for Christmas, it hadn't been like that for me for years.

This is the least stressful season i can remember.

I thought we'd finish about 8th and would have sacked poch by now.

Finishing 2nd would have been as good as winning the league to me.

Not so much stress, more a lack of concentration in everything
I do that's non-Spurs related. This season has consumed me completely. I am constantly checking the Internet, twitter switching over to SSN for anything Spurs related.

Found it more stressful watching Leicester and hoping they lose.

I am enjoying it. Wasn't expecting to do well at the start of the season so this is a massive bonus.

Most unstressful season I remember

not stressful. I didn't expect us to be top 2 and still going for the title. even if we drop n finish 4th I will be happy as that's what I'd have looked for.

still don't expect us to win the league just now.

No stress at all. Most enjoyable season in my 26 years supporting Spurs

I'll get back to you suckers next time we are three or less points from Leicester, they slip up big time and we have a game in hand.
Have your prozac ready.

Not at all, enjoying the ride. It's more stressful when you are struggling near the bottom.

However I am off to France 2016 for a week with 10 other lunatics from Northern Ireland and I am very stressed about that, will be carnage

This is the best season since 87 and really enjoyed the run but I will be gutted for this team if we didn't win it. So becoming stressful in the last few weeks cos 87 ended in huge disappointment and I might not get the chance again to go to a victory parade ( it's alright for you youngsters)

Not stressed at all.

The league aim at the beginning of the season was top four. Since midseason we have looked quite comfortable for this.

There was some title talk and due to the age of our squad I didn't believe we could do it and believed ourselves and Leicester would fall off the title race with Leicester falling outside the top four.

So as we have quietly gone above expectations it has been a stress free season, until now.

I am now starting to believe we could win at least 3 of our last 4 and Leicester will be dropping points. I look at the table and remaining fixtures constantly so last few weeks will be stressful now I am starting to believe we could go that one step further and actually lift the title.

Because of the way we've repeatedly bounced back from the odd poor result, I didn't even let the West Ham/Arsenal set-backs get to me. Lo and behold we've picked up 10 points out of a possible 12 since then.

Not stressful at all. While we might miss out on the title, the fact that we are even using phrases like that shows what progress the club has made.
