RSS61,
I totally agree with everything that you have said, how can anyone with a modicom of common sense compare our present team with that of 1967, but I am sure that we will be accused of dwelling in the past, unfortunately we now have a Chairman who is only interested in making money for his shareholders, whereas in 1967 we had a Chairman and board who weren't frightened to invest in players in order to bring success to the Club.
In my opinion this season has been a failure, we managed to achieve our highest points tally since 1967, SO WHAT, we reached the Quarter Finals of Europa League at what cost, I'll tell you, it cost us Top 4 and a place in Champions League next season, why because AVB put too much importance on trying to win it, he got his priorities WRONG, VERY WRONG, this should have been his list of priorities:-
1. Win the Premiership
2. If we fail to win it finish TOP 4(Thus qualifying for The Champions League)
3. Win the FA Cup
4. Win Europa League (Give younger players experience)
This is only MY opinion, but I also think that it is an opinion shared by the vast majority of Spurs Supporters, you only had to see the expressions on their faces at the end of the game on Sunday to realise that.
We now have to suffer a summer of constant fear of the possibility of losing our BEST PLAYER, and please don't anyone dare tell me that we won't, speculation is already rife and the season only finished two days ago.
