Does anyone on here actually remember the 1990s?
I’m pretty hazy on a lot of the detail and 1995 has just upped and gone but from what I recall, being a spurs supporter was dire. We were awful, consistently drivel and consistently buying the most underwhelming dross and very occasional maverick star in the flair positions to cover up the fact that we were astonishingly weak. It got so bad that I’d be praying for an ageing and injury ravaged Anderton to play in Central Midfield.
We were always praying that we’d have one lucky season, where despite being crap we’d somehow sneak into the CL or win a cup…
If you look at most of the other threads here you would imagine that nothing has changed. We don’t score enough. We keep selling our best talents. We’re boring to watch. The manager is clueless.
For me, every time I go to the lane or tune in I do so with an expectance that we’re going to win or draw against anyone we play against. I watch an extraordinarily well drilled defence playing, in many cases, well above their natural defensive abilities. I see the most physical options at central midfield anywhere in the prem who can also play. I see a striker brought in at great cost, not to inject flair but to score goals. I see a huge array of attacking flair and talent across the AM 3. The only thing I don’t see is the fluidity that comes from players who know each other and the system well.
I’m starting to see encouraging signs in the way we play but, frankly even if I didn’t I’d still be optimistic. We have time; we’ve been waiting for over 20 years to have a team worth getting genuinely excited about so I for one am going to give this team a little more time and am going to enjoy every tortuous second of watching them develop into that team.
But what about you? Do you remember the 90’s or were you not even born then?
