Yeah not sure how this thread got derailed into Poch vs. AW, but I think top 4 is definitely more of an achievement for Spurs than it is for us and where they have come from and where they are today is damn impressive in the short time that Poch has been there.
But more importantly, if you just watch his team - they play hard, organized, are a serious PITA to play against, and are precisely the kind of team we have trouble against. No question we are bigger brand, club, etc. and have a lot more financial muscle than they do. It isn’t even that close really, which makes their achievements right now more impressive.
Their progress is annoying their achievements are only relative really so far. Had a big chance of the cup and failed their lines. On the up but lets see how dealing with expectation goes before we give them too many plaudits.
Yeah but their natural place is realistically 6th, with occasional slip due to a team like Everton or a lightning bolt like LC. They are overachieving the last 2-3 years frankly. Plaudits deservred just like they were for LC. Doesn’t mean they have “overtaken” us as a club and they absolutely will fall some - the weight of stadium and playing at wembley will hurt the.
I haven’t really been watching but yeah they’ve totally nosedived from last year going by results… lose so many of your best players it’s gonna happen…
