The win against City was a wonderful result, a season highlight. As was the 4 points off Man Utd. These are the results that gave us hope. City was particularly special as it gave us the hope that we could do it, with our game against Arsenal.
In true Tottenham Hotspur style we then threw it away against a relegation fodder team that didn't even turn up to their own relegation battle. As it stands Arsenal are currently winning and so are Chelsea, and we are currently looking further up shit creek without a paddle.
Part of me feels like I want us to lose the next game against Southampton and Arsenal/Chelsea to win theirs, not as a "fuck you" to the club, but just to end this anxious state of frustration that we're in so that we can just concentrate on next season asap.
But another part of me doesn't want to let the fight die, Audere Est Facere, after all. There's always the "what if" scenario that could take it to the wire. Don't know if I truly want that either though. Perhaps I'm just being too pessimistic about it.
One thing is for certain though - throughout all the debates of whether Levy is taking us in the right direction, or whether our players are good enough, or whether the manager has got it wrong more times than he's got it right, or whether we've been unlucky with our transfer outs and injuries, we can all agree that we really should've, and could've, finished the job ages ago.
Football is such a fucker, and sometimes hope is too.
Edit: Utd have equalised. Forget everything I've put above, we're going to do it this time, I swear!
