Though the atmosphere seemed good and there was plenty of singing, it did come across on tv as though, there was a degree of nervousness in the crowd. I suspect every single Spurs fan in the world felt some sense of "we cannot fuck up with the title on line against WBA". It'd be strange if that didn't reflect in the crowd.
Still, as always I'm proud of the support, so well done to everyone there, and still proud of the team. Yeah, you'd always want - and as things are going now, dare I say, expect - 3 solid points at home to WBA. But just as with the Pool result, our response is just so tempered by our situation with a win being a necessity every single time, the team takes the field. A draw at Pool is, viewed in isolation, a good result, and a draw at home to WBA, though not a good result, isn't a disaster in a season where the gap between top 4-7, the middle pack and the bottom teams have narrowed significantly. It's just the nature of the league table that makes it feel such a disaster. Had it been in September, it would - for most of us - be, onwards and upwards.
As we've consolidated top 4, then top 2 and pushed for the title, it's gotten lost in translation that we still have the youngest team in the league by some margin. These lads will learn from last night and use it constructively. We should just be thankful that we've got a manager, who's not just filled our team and squad with HG and English players, but also with only winners. I cannot find a single Adebayor-like player in the squad, where I'd suspect that they don't care and go out clubbing after the match. These guys will make us proud and push on even more now against Chelsea, the last two matches and into next season.
