After a terrible night's 'sleep' I have come to the conclusion that irrespective of our inability to finish third, Chelsea's win is definitely down to witchcraft and the dark arts - it's the only answer: Barca battered them, BM battered them and you couldn't have written the the rest of the script. That is why Roman is so rich - he's sold his soul in a Faustian pact but it will, at least, mean an etenity of suffering and soul munching from devils when he shuffles off to the other side.
This summer will be very interesting now.
But - the club is moving forward. This is a real blow as it's put us back two or maybe three years, but we will have a beautiful new stadium soon, we are Spurs, we nearly nearly nearly did it and DL will certainly need to be serious about freshening up the squad. We should - should - use this as the motivation to know we were that close, know we are competing aginst teams with almost bottomless pockets.
That said, Chelsea need rebuilding, Arsenal need rebuilding, Liverpool are and will still be brick, Everton will do what Everton always do - this is now the test for us. Like us, Saudi Sportswashing Machine will probably be under a real pressure to sell some of their big guys, but we're better than them, just.
Let's get over this blip, see who's got the grit to take us forward. All this talk about Bale and Modric, well, who knows - they stay: great. They go: bucket load of cash and energised, incoming players who know where we are and are only looking forward.
And, we get 6 point of the horrible Hammers and witness Big Sam's lovely football up close.
We are Spurs, we will be fine, we've come a long way in four years, we're heading forwards - we have been unlucky, but at the end of the day, we create our own reality and our bad Feb/March is what did for us.
Let us embrace the future.
