Surely somethings wrong with the culture if Spurs are consistently being poor in the business end of the season.
They’re still celebrating 💀
This is narrative construction at its finest. I can do that too, ready?
Tottenham hotspur, at the tail end of Anges first season in charge, are about to cement 5th spot. While some are keen to paint that as below a club of Spurs’ stature, 5th represents a significant leap forward in the league in a season that has already demonstrated a complete overhaul in playing style, epitomized by some of the most exciting young players in the league in Micky Van Der Ven, Vicario, Sarr and Udogi.
A Europa league spot is a long way from the pre season predictions of many ‘respected’ pundits and journalists. Many of whom, following the sale of Harry Kane, unironically suggested that Spurs may well find themselves in a relegation battle this year, a fantasy many rival fans took glee in repeating. Even if that were hyperbole, it was widely accepted that Spurs stood no chance of finishing above such well established juggernauts as Chelsea, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Brighton and Wolves – all a whom were deemed to be much further along in their far more ambitious projects.
Now that Spurs have out performed them all, the narrative changes to ‘why haven’t they done more? Why not beat an excellent Villa to 4th? Why not make a genuine push for the title in Ange’s first year? Why did you lose 5 out of 6 when all five of those loses were against those teams we all agreed you should be finishing behind?’
We see the progression. If people outside of the club don’t, that’s totally fine with us, you will do soon.
