Seriously, some of the overreacting I have seen on this forum over the past few weeks has been unbearable. Come on guys, sure drawing away at Wigan is tough to swallow, and just about overcoming Southampton at home after a very poor performance is frustrating but we are STILL in the hunt for a top four finish, don't give up on the team when the season hasn't even finished and the rewards are still possible. In fact, don't give up on the team at all.
I mean over the past few weeks, days even, I have seen things like "Lennon, Holtby, Sigurdsson aren't footballers" which is mind boggling considering the same people probably moan about pass and move and how we lack it when Holtby is one of the rare people in our team who actually understands that concept. I've also seen "Valencia is leagues above Lennon" now that has got to be the worst of all of them. Valencia? Antonio Valencia? The brick one from Man Utd is LEAGUES above Lennon? Really? Seriously? Come off it, you're just saying that to get a reaction now.
Not to mention other gems such as "Dembele is average", "we had a better midfield in the Jol days" - that one was a good one, how I miss those days of Jenas partnering the likes of Danny Murphy or Didier Zokora in midfield with Malbranque out wide, good old days, I mean imagine we had that midfield now, no doubt we'd be contending for the title, such a shame.
I just don't get it. You love this club right? Then get fudging behind them and show them, support them. It's like people just want to be negative because maybe when something positive happens it feels better? I know how that is, when we play some of the big guns I kinda put my hopes down so when we get a hard fought draw or a win it feels much better. This is why I love for the club. Win, lose, or draw we are Tottenham.
We are on to something big in my eyes. We have a young manager who has won things in the past, has good insight to the game and give him a few years and I know we'll see something special at the club. We have some real superb talented individuals, Lloris, one of the best goalkeepers in the league. We have Vertonghen who in his debut season has been voted by his peers as one of the best centre backs, we also have Kaboul who last season was arguably our best centre back, we haven't even seen what those two could potentially form at the back.
We have in Sandro one of the best players in his position in the world in my view. We have Aaron Lennon who has been a great servant to the club for near enough 8 years now, on his day still a terrorising winger who can run full backs inside out. We have a talented midfield partner for Sandro in Dembele who's footwork, skill and defensive ability is quite frankly scary. And of course we have Gareth Bale, one of the best players in the world and just got voted PFA Players Player, Writers Player and Young Player of the Year.
We're still fighting for a top four finish, we have 3 games left. We got this far despite not having our best centre back from last season in Kaboul, we have continued to fight for it even without Sandro who was one of our top performers and has been a big loss in central midfield for 4 months now. We have done it without a form striker in Adebayor or Defoe, especially Adebayor who last season was easily our best striker and one of our most important players. We've done it without the creativity of a Modric or van der Vaart who helped us last season greatly.
I think some of you expect too much. It's like after one season of Champions League football (which we all bloody well loved), you think by some divine right we DESERVE Champions League football. And maybe we did deserve it this year after finishing fourth in the league, but it didn't happen. If we don't get it this year, then it didn't happen, we dust ourselves off and we give it another go next year.
I just hope for he remaining three games, through thick and thin, through every misplaced pass, foul given, foul throw, miss, card, you stick by the players and support the GHod damn team because boy they need us more than every now. Starting with the away support at Stamford Bridge, lets go there, lets fudging destroy them on there own pitch for the first time in 20 years, lets give AVB his day, lets give us OUR day and for GHod sakes lets give TOTTENHAM THERE DAY.
