We seem to be everyone's favourite second club at the moment, everywhere I go people keep commenting to me how great it must be to be a Spurs fan at the moment.

Two of them sun employees tried to distance themselves from it while not outright condemning it. It was just all a bit awkward.
For every claim of someone leaving the club, there will be a premium rate phone call, an internet click or a paper sold.
Feeding the machine is all that's happening.
As fans of the club we know just how far we have come.
Where would we be without the Man City and Chelsea money being thrown around?

The above reads well but could do with a comma after 'windowless'?

Don't usually watch this but working from home this morning, and apart from Neil 'Chelsea' Ashton they were all very fair about spurs today and summed up the game well I thought. We're a talented side on the up but Chelsea are full of experienced winners who found a way.

Didn't watch, surprised they weren't carving up our team - Eriksen to Barca, Dier to United, Alli to Real. Poch to Barca, yada, yada, yada....

Martin Samuel, Matt Law, Neil Ashton and Andy Dunn on today.
They were quite positive about us this morning as far as not being legends as we were always playing catch-up.
Still saying the team could possibly break up, and that this will be a very difficult summer for Levy.
They all expect Walker to go to Man City, think we'll keep everyone else but doubt we'll sign anyone who will go straight into the 1st team as we will not match their wage demands.
Of course they said we'll struggle next season because of Wembley and that the "big clubs" will strengthen.

If the Walker-City thing does happen, the fee will be ridiculous. At least £50m I'd say.
The big clubs strengthening is a worry of course, afterall, we had to endure that last summer and look how we struggled! Not only did they improve their teams but a couple of them managed to get the "best" two managers in world football. That's the sort of approach we simply can't compete with...
Oh wait

This is what I don't understand, how do you bottle a chase where your destiny is not in your own hands?
Bizarre, just throwing out "legends" is an inane lazy statement by attention whores.
legends can only be the chased and never the chasers AFAIAC.

I don't think any team that loses after nine wins on the bounce can ever be described as legends. We did brilliantly to narrow the gap on the runaway leaders, but the title was only ever a pipe dream. What our great form has done has pulled us away from the fight for CL qualification.

If we do lose Walker, then I think it's a case of us needing to see the silver lining. Yes of course, he's a very good player, and I love his grit and the way he's been steeling himself over the years into better and better performances, but there are certain drawbacks in keeping unfulfilled teams together 100%. The improved league performances of the past two years haven't surprised me, if for no other reason than with such a young team, they were bound to get better. Last year I fully expected a top four place, and this year I fully expected a full on title challenge. But next year it's a little harder to see what will happen. The fact that we haven't picked up a trophy en route is a factor. It's not that our ambitions should be defined as to pick up a trophy; our ambition should be to have such a good team that a trophy becomes inevitable; and the measure of having that "such a good team" is the league position. But not having one does leave a sense of unfulfillment, and that has to be addressed. Plenty of other teams have been in the position of being the dominant team over two seasons but not having won the league, and the fact that they got a trophy here is only a consolation prize, but it does sort of mitigate the failure to win the league.
I'm not averse to selling a player here or there. I've had a lifetime of seeing us make big signings, breaking transfer records, being treated and lauded as one of the "top five" and so on, but it never got us anywhere. Then in recent years, we've sold our best player every three years or so and yet managed to get better and better. I mean, we've really bombed since selling Bale, haven't we? We must be doing something right, and that's on the backs of having what, the 9th best attendances or whatever rather than being up there in the top two or three or even top as it used to be a long time ago when we used to win all those cups but still bottle the league almost every time we had a shout. And Walker isn't our best player, probably not even in the top half of our first eleven.
The sad fact is that this year and last, our team wasn't quite good enough. We can probably expect some improvement of the players as a whole, just as we've had these past couple of years; and yes, without trophies, sooner or later, time will run out and the team will break up, but that's the measure of any top team, to be able to build and rebuild. That's something we simply have to do anyway, and even if we had been good enough to win this year, some degree of rebuilding would still have been needed. How do improve our first eleven? Where are the weak spots? Respectfully, I'd suggest the right back position is one of them.

Making a big deal out of Walker going to Citeh, probably, is ridiculous, he's obviously looking for a last big pay day, well they're welcome to him, he'll probably come flying out of the blocks , but his cranial flatulence will soon kick in, the fact that he's earning shit loads will dull him even more and Citeh fans will be wondering why they paid £50mil for a brain farting greyhound.
