Yeah, for longer term Spurs fans, it's so much better to be nearly men than nowhere men, but it's still biting at times to fall short. There's no doubting the bar being set in the last few seasons by the eventual winners are just phenomenal rates of consecutive wins. And we can't quite get there, despite points hauls that are still fantastic.
This season would require a near-miracle for us to win it, but I still hope that a wobble by the top two could happen and would like us to be in the right spot to capitalize, especially if we move in to our new home in March.
Bar the league title loss to Leicester and even then it was the Chelsea game which decided our fate we have lost out on recent silverware to the likes of Man United, Man City, Chelsea, Juve to name a few. The level of funding of those four teams with oligarch, country backing and leveraged financing means we have been unlucky in who we have had to compete against.
It is not a case of being Spursy either because if Spursy means second in the league (right now), in the last 16 of the CL, fourth round of the FA Cup and 1-0 up after the first leg of the League Cup then I am sure there are 86 other clubs in England who would swap places with us.
