Who says we have a divine right to something? What is actually being said is that when we have this level of talent available- which negates the financial disparity between us and the elite it’s only right that there should be expectations to capitalise on that. Clubs like A. Madrid and Dortmund did just that we haven’t - and not only that some to revel in this supposed glory period. I guess it’s too soon for some to see this but give it a few years and there will be plenty who will acknowledge the opportunity missed.
I notice that the same fans who want us to win trophies are the same fans who want us to dismiss the Europa League or League Cup and focus on other things.
Atletico Madrid is looking more and more like a stars aligning freak league win by the season. Dortmund won the league when Bayern were at the weakest they'd been in the last 10 years and the Bundesliga was genuinely competitive. I mean, you might as well have added Wolfsburg to that list. Surprised you didn't bring Leicester up either.
It's strange how different some fans can be I guess. I'll look back at it as a great time with a great young manager and an exciting young squad. I don't think we've been good enough to win the league. If we were, we'd have won it.
Saying that, 16/17 was a great opportunity and I don't really think we could have done a lot more. We were beaten by a record breaking team and I think our points tally would have won the league in many previous Premier League seasons - but it also had an air of "White Hart Lane is ours and we aren't losing here this season" - to expect to improve on that away from WHL was always going to be a tough ask.
