I know that this season isn't over yet; there is still all to play for on the final day. Personally I can see us finishing fifth, but that isn't the purpose of this thread. The prupose of this thread is to prepare for next season, and in particular, the Arsenal games.
We all know whats coming, and the sooner we prepare for it, the better; "10 points, and you fucked it up" is going to be rining around White Hart Lane, and booming around the emirates, so the sooner we take ownership of it, the better.
I won't be at the games, because I'm living too far away; but whenever I hear "two nil, and you fucked it up" - even on TV - it sickens me to the pit of my stomach; this is going to gall even more, unless we take ownership of it, just like we did with the "yids" chant.
"10 points, and we fucked it up" is the only way I can think of exercising this particular demon; even leaving the Arsenal taunts aside, I think we need to take ownership of this anyway; we need to sing it so the players can hear it. I don't think it is something we should sing until it is sang at us, but once it is I think we need to take ownership of it; sing it back in a manner that says, "yep, you don't have to tell us, we know we fucked it up, but this is a new season and we're [hopefully] wiser for it" (I'm not sure if the goons will be able to read between the lines, but we can sing that last part if needs be - just kind of see if the moment calls for it).
4th would make the bitter pill that much easier to swallow, but as I say, I can see 5th on the horizon; and if not, Chelsea will win the CL - we are Tottenham Hotspur afterall.
