Tottenham will get 3rd BOTTOM next season

Spurs are rich because they're a London club who were very successful when the baby boomers were growing up. Spurs have a large fanbase of rich supporters.

Just look at how much Spurs charge for tickets. My season ticket is now £862 a year!

Don't forget our Kayman Island-based owner is a multi-billionaire too.

Lets not forget that our Cayman based owner isn't actually the richest man on the board either, there are two people backing Spurs with more wealth available to them than him.

Also, we don't have any debt like the big 4 do, so we can afford to spend the profits we make each season on players rather than reducing the debts that we have.

As for who's spot in the top 4 we will be nabbing, well, going on current position and rumours, it will be Chelski's :D
 
I wouldn't be suprised if they are European Champions in 2 years, they are that good.

47 Years without a League title, speaks volumes.

1. Bringing in the players - Woodgate, Modric, Dos Santos. These players have claimed that Ramos was instrumental to their arrival at Spurs.

2. Tactics - Unlike the typical Jol 'Bring a sub on in the 70th minute' Ramos is making subs which will actually affect the game and as has been said by Keane, King etc. his motivation along with Poyet before big matches is the thing that is pushing them that little further to get results.

3. Youth Chances - Under BMJ, the reserves didn't get much in the way of a run of games but with Ramos, we have seen O'Hara become a regular in the first team and players like Archibald-Henville and Taarabt also getting their chances to impress

4. Deciciveness - Ramos done something Jol wouldn't. He dropped Robinson. Cerny then put in performance after performance until he also began to make blunders, which then gave Robinson his spot back. This shows that he is a fair manager and will make you work for your spot in the first team.

1) Jol bought in players like Berbatov, Carrick and I can't remember off the top of my head any others but I'm sure there are.

2) Jol also got you fifth two seasons on the trot so tactically he must be doing something right. The current players are obviously gonna praise him when in actual fact it was partly their fault Jol got the sack.

3) Lennon and Carrick got a fair crack of the whip under Jol from what I remember and both were fairly young when they joined. Who else have you had who is good enough? I'm sure Tubby played a few games for your lot last season as well.

4) Why would Jol drop Robinson when only this season he was starting to make mistakes? He had been solid in years before and you need to show some faith in players before just chopping and changing, added to the fact he was under intense pressure due to your clubs demands and the board screwing him over I wouldn't be surprised if his judgement was impaired because his mind was elsewhere.

Still clinging on to that old one :D You may want to mention your Euro titles whilst at it :p

Arsenal 2-1 win in December showed that we closing the gap. We were desperately unlikely and made a side chasing for the title look pretty average. That said, its games like that that shows class when a club can turn a bad performance into a win.

First game last season was 3-1. Then 2-1. We then managed a draw... 1-1

Then we finally beat Ar5ena1 5-1.

We have been linked with bucket loads of defenders. The latest link is Carlos Cuellar of Rangers, and Gordon Durrie has come out in the press today and stated that they feel Rangers will not be able to resist the financial pull of Spurs as we are also in for their keeper.

In addition to this, we have been heavily linked with Richard Dunne (he was due a medical) and Jar Jar of West Ham.

There are also a couple of Spanish defenders too, but I cannot remember their names, Jarque I believe was one.

Thats very true actually and i stand corrected :)

would have been great to great Dunne but now that Hughes has turned it seems he's reconsidering his postion.

I heard rumour we were in for Capel of Sevilla but i cant see them every selling anyone to us cause of the way we snatched Ramos off them.
 
I can remember exactly what I said last year when people were saying Spurs would pip Arsenal to 4th spot:

"If Spurs finish in the top 4 I'll go out, buy a hat and eat it."

I stand by this for next year too, they're just not good enough.
 
We are not good enough for 3rd place, not yet and maybe in 3/4 seasons when the youngsters have the experience and have grown in stature.

Yes, we are making good signings and some will slip straight into the 1st team but others are for the future, not now! We need another Keeper, centre half (King isn't fit, knees are done!!), left winger, right winger (Lennon can't deliver a final ball, costs us dearly!!) and a striker, seeing as we only have 3. Once all of these are in place, they we *might* be able to challenge for 3rd.

Going by that argument Birmingham could argue they are closing the gap despite being relegated, they drew with us twice, Chelsea had two narrow wins against them, Man utd even had two narrow wins against them and Liverpool drew with them home and away ;)

You weren't good enough mate and couldn't handle the pressure when Arsenal finally got going, nothing to do with luck. We had be struck with the mother of an injury crisis and were in the CL as well meaning our players were getting tired and we couldn't rest many yet still found enough to get the job done.

Spurs last 10 games, W5, D1 , L4 - 16 points
Arsenal last 10 games, W7, D2, L1 - 23 points

You bottled it ;)

twas 2006.

Spurs tailed off at the end of last season and in general looked anything but a top four contender. Heard it all before for about the last 20 seasons or so and spurs fans always seem totally convinced...
