I'm damn proud of our Spurs!
We may not get the 'Holy Grail' that is Champions League footy next year but we've shown yet again that we're a side not to be taken lightly.
AVB has done a stellar job considering it's his first season. He's had to overcome media pressure when he took the job after his humiliation at Chelsea. Had big boots to fill - even if you're not a Redknapp fan, you can't deny that he really did well during his tenure. AVB has also had to deal with a squad depleted of creativity from the loss of Modric and VDV, and in return not had a lot of financial backing in order to rectify this. He's come into the team with a new vision and philosophy and worked hard to implement this. It hasn't helped that we've missed Kaboul all season, Sandro half the season and that our strikers have been woeful this year. I think he's done brilliantly all things considered and I really hope Levy backs him this summer so that we can fully achieve our potential next year.
On the subject of transfers though, it hasn't been all bad. We've discovered excellent talents in Dembele, Vertonghen and Lloris. Hopefully we can add more players of their calibre in the summer.
We've seen Bale become a real dominant force in the Premier League and, as a result, will raise the profile of our club. It's great to have a star like him at the team and a privelage to watch him however long he remains here.
We've had our best run in the Europa League in a long time. Had some great results this season in the league - finally beating United at Old Trafford being a massive highlight for me.
We could equal or even beat our highest points record, which IMO, shows that we're not a club going backwards and we're on the right track. It just shows how much harder it gets every bloody year, but considering we're competing with mega-bucks teams and other clubs with huge reputations/history it's not a bad job at all!
And who knows - by this Sunday we might even be celebrating what may seem the impossible! But even if it doesn't happen it's been another great season for the Spurs and I bloody well look forward to the next chapter in AVB's Spurs career.
