Match Tottenham Vs Newcastle - 12.30pm - 2nd Feb

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I’m not one for bigging up footballers, but these lot are really digging in considering all the problems, fantastic.

Ugly tired football but they are battling, that’s all you can ask from them
 
Never understood the bottle tag, we are overachievers under Poch with a squad that has far less depth than the likes City or Chelsea on paper. To bottle would be us 15 points clear in the league then failing to win the title.

In the league the only time we ‘bottled’ was when Woolwich caught us during the Leicester season, we where too far behind Leicester but we should never have let Woolwich catch us.

We have disappointed in cups but that is more to do with us prioritising the league and CL due to our thin squad. When levy gives Poch real money (net spend) of around £200-400 mil (which is still less than City/United/Chelsea have used net) and he doesn’t win things then the media can complain but until then we are overachievers not bottlers.

Our squad on paper is the 4-5th strongest in the league and we are 3rd looking at 2nd.
2nd looking at 3rd, no?

Correction , we are second looking at first with 3rd very hot on our heels. C'mon man have some belief! On paper and on the pitch our squad deserves to be where it is. I do get what you are saying, Poch and Levy have done a fantastic job with the finances available, but please don't downplay the quality of our players.
