In a way I know what you mean about spurs not being that good, the league is not as good as it was, the scum are walking away with it and they're not that good a team and almost anything can happen these days.
On the other hand, since beating us the end of November (with a bit of luck), spurs have gone on a good run, picked up some good wins against the likes of Arsenal, Swansea and West Brom, drew with manure and only lost to the bitters.
AVB has done well in his first season but he inherited a better squad and brought in a few experienced players. There was a lot more work to do with our squad and we've had to plan more for the future as well as sorting out the club finances. After playing the first half of the season a bit short in attack, we added a couple of signings and looked a lot better since January.
If we win today it will show how much progress we've made and it could mean us finishing a position or two higher in the league, it should help a bit that they played on Thursday. If we loose today, it's not the end of the world as really we're just building for next season so it won't help to criticise the manager and players if this happens. A draw could be the most likely outcome but I think we'll both be going for a win.
Come on the reds.
