It won't be the fans that move the goalpost.
We will all be delighted but a recent blog of mine was entitled
'Obviously this one won't count'

especially this year when so much has been disrupted by Covid,
We got a bye in the Carabao, its only single leg in the semi-final, and a very favourable draw .
The goalposts will have been removed entirely and cut up for logs for OAP's
long before whichever finals we get to
Let alone win.(I know they're metal but don't lets spoil a good image)
We have been asked a classic false dilemma question the 'Would you rather' one
like the old would you rather ' play well and lose: play poorly and win'.
Playing poorly however you define it is tedious, anti football and anti Spurs
and crucially unlikely to win anything in the long term
though with a favourable head wind we might pull off a Cup triumph
which is less demanding and therefore less prestigeous than winning a 38 game Premier League title.
or indeed the Champions' League trophy.
I recall the apocryphal Jermaine Jenas story which has the archetypal moving the goalposts template.
JJ scores a perfect hat-trick and clears two off the line as the opponents press.
He is awarded MOM and donates his match fee to charity
An old Spurs fan puffs on his fag, spits and says
'Aye but can he do it every week'
