Just got back from the game today, obviously pretty disappointed with the result but strangely not as upset or downhearted as I usually am after we lose an important game like that or lose to the racist scum Chavski. I suppose I used to absolutely despise them and while beating them like earlier in the season provides a truly fantastic feeling, for me I've lost so much respect for their club due to their fans,players and Mouriniho and them being a plastic club for me losing to them doesn't hurt as much as it used to as they are just a nothing club.
It was refreshing chatting to other Spurs fans on the tube home who were actually still quite optimistic and agreed that whilst the ref had a bit of a shocker we were beaten by a better team BUT that we have a very promising young team and manager who are generally pulling in the right direction.
The Chelseas and City's of this world have bought the cream of the crop over the last 5-10 years and are way ahead of most of the rest in terms of quality and strength in depth, not many other PL squads have players of the quality of: Fabregas, Hazard,Costa and players like Remy and Oscar sitting on their bench.
This season for me has exceeded expectations, it has had its ups and downs but Potch has gradually figured out the players who are: a) Up for putting the effort in and b) Have the quality to take us forward. He is having to persist with players like Soldado as we have no other options because Ade doesn't have the right attitude and fair play to Potch for doing that but it has meant we've lost games where our 2nd choice players have let us down(Not Potch's fault).
We have a great young spine and need to offload some dead wood and players who don't pull their weight, bring in some pacey attacking options and maybe a defender either CB or LB and well be looking like a very good team.
Remember we've not won much for the last 25 years and have barely been in the top4 and have been getting regularly spanked by the 'bigger teams' in the last few years so to get us to a cup final and beating and outplaying the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea in the league this season for me is a huge step forward.
So my question is does everyone else still feel quite positive after today or are we being too optimistic and today was a bit of a wake-up call, i'd like to think we're moving in the right direction and lets see how we do until the end of the season, no-one expected or expects us to get top4 but if we can give it a good go from now until then, then great.
COYS.
