If someone offered me top 4 now I would bite their hand off. Not being defeatist just think Wembley could cost us points. Guarantee some mid table sides will walk away with a point where last season at WHL we blew them away. (i'm looking at you WBA, Stoke). One thing is for sure away form will need improving on.

9 hour overnight flight back from Florida into Gatwick, and then straight onto Wembley for 4pm. Then 3 and a half hour journey back home to Somerset. Work at 7am the next day. Going to be absolutely shattered but i have my priorities set straight, Spurs all the way hahaha
As much as i hate the doom mongers, i think that the stadium merry go round and the necessary frugality caused by the build will mean that we will see a slight slump in form all of which i feel is completely understandable and inevitable.
If anything our success over the last few years is ahead of schedule. Once we are established in the new stadium proper and we can start really competing commercially then the sky is really the limit. But for now a top four (three?) finish and maintaining a CL presence would be acceptable for me. Also massively depends on whether the "big dogs" under achieve again.
Unfortunately i feel that anything less than a trophy would be viewed as a failure by many for and against the club.
The promised land is closer than it's ever been, within touching distance, just need to be happy and patient with these rations until then.

Midtable finish. Poch sacked by Christmas.
I wrote about the upcoming season with regards to our troubles at Wembley so far: Preview: Tottenham v Wembley
These two fixtures stand out for me...
Newcastle and South Yorkshire for lunchtime kick-offs...
They really DON'T GIVE A shit about where fans have to travel from, and what time they'd have to leave to get there!
I imagine plenty of Spurs fans will be spending Saturday night in Newcastle.. . ...and stagger over to the ground, bleary eyed first thing Sunday!
My personal goal/expectation for us is the top 4. Getting the league win or challenging seems a bit farfetched 3 years running but would obviously be ideal. But getting a solid 3rd straight top 4 place and a 3rd straight year of CL football as well as one of the two cups would be a grade A season for us considering all the factors going into it with a home away from home and whatnot.
Who voted 8th or worse? Reveal yourself.
There wasn't an option for 10th
I'm joking , I put 1st
Wouldnt it be nice if the club put all the PL and Shelf renewals in one end...
As for next season, champions

I don't get this "the big boys under achieve again" they finished below us these past few years because we were better than them, not because they under achieved.
Eriksen player of the year.
If we can get to grips with Wembley early on, I would expect us to be around the top again. Why not? We have a great togetherness, a team full of players strong within a system that believe in the coach and believe in each other with the best defence in the league and the deadliest striker.
He just needs to hit the ground running in the first couple of games - and that's not meaning to have a go at him for the past couple of seasons: post Euros-malaise was pretty understandable for him and Dele last year.
A hatrick against Newcastle would do the trick.
