And the year is a very favourable one as far as Spurs historically are concerned. Yes you guessed it it is the year of the 1.
Spurs have enjoyed plenty of success when the year ends in a 1.
1901 FA Cup
1921 FA Cup
1951 League
1961 League and FA Cup
1971 League Cup
1981 FA Cup
1991 FA Cup
A couple of decades where the 1 has not been so favourable should change in 2021 with a manager that knows how to win things.
Spurs two greatest ever triumphs the 1901 FA Cup win as a non league side, the only side ever to do that since the formation of the league in 1888. never to be repeated in my opinion, will always be on Spurs CV and the winning of the first 20th century double in 1961.
Those two events were sixty years apart, and guess what we are now 60 years apart from the double, so I am going to stick my neck out and say that the next greatest triumph will be this season, when Spurs lift the Premiership. Yes you heard it right, Spurs lift the Premiership.
They will I believe come from the pack this season, and snatch the title. Everything will come together in 1920/21. No injuries, players hitting top form, no silly mistakes, the whole team playing as one, led by a manager that has already won multiple titles. Oh and obviously there will be that little bit of luck, that all teams that win things get.
You may say I am being silly, but after the week I have had with my predictions (100 per cent success rate), then I am striking whilst the iron is hot, so to say. Get it on paper, loud and clear, so there can be no mistake at the end of the season, when everybody says how did that happen? Tottenham win the title.
Now I get not everybody will agree with me, but now is not the time to disagree, next May is the time to come back and either say you were spot on Sandy, or you got that completely wrong.
Anyway I say it as I see it, everything is looking to fall into place this season, so bring it on. The year of the 1 is going to be Spurs year. Kane to hit 40 goals, Son to hit 25. Dele to return to form, Lo Celso to become the best midfielder in the Prem, Ndombele to prove his worth, Aurier to become the best right back in the league. Hugo to save two penalties against United. Winks to bring on the half time oranges.
COYS
The new season will shortly be with us

Actually it isn’t completely irrelevant Sandy far from it. It’s an article by the same poster making the same overly optimistic prediction.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It is completely irrelevant. It is only your opinion that it is overly optimistic, that doesn`t make it wrong, even if the same is done 100 times. It is an opinion. I don`t get your concern.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never said it was wrong though Sandy I said it's overly optimistic. Also I think 99% of people would agree that a similar prediction by the same poster makes it relevant.

I couldn`t care less that 99 per cent of people apparently can see into the future and know for sure what may happen in May. I happen to believe Spurs have a great chance of winning the Prem, and that to me is all that matters, not what other posters think, they can post their own predictions.

Of course this isn't the first time you thought we'd finish the coming season champions is it

Sandy your optimism is admirable however it is misplaced I feel. I don't like Mourinho but he does know how to win trophies, the likelihood is that he'll win a trophy, it will not be the premier league.
Our squad just is not strong enough imo. Add in the fact that Levy will not fully back Mourinho I think you might be disappointed come May, though I'm not gonna complain if I'm made to eat my words!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bernie trawling back like two years just to try to point score Is for like for 10 year olds. You post like a sensible fella, so no need for it. Just make your point. You are not alone though in trawling back through posts to try to prove another poster wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not point scoring Sandy, just saying it might be best to temper your expectations slightly, your knee jerk predictions on what will happen have a tendency to end with egg on your face. I don't see a problem with digging out an old article to make a point. In a debate is it not best to have evidence to back something up?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why trawl back, it us completely irrelevant to the hear and now. And you have absolutely no way of knowing, come next May, whether I will be right or wrong.
This forum is supposed be about differing opinions. Now you may not like my opinion, but it neither makes it kneejerk or wrong, unless you can look into nine months into the future.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy why is it a problem if I do dig up evidence to prove that you do get a tad over excited and make kneejerk predictions, because that's what this is.
Yes this forum is for differing opinions and it is better for it, however history shows this will most likely result in you being sorely disappointed when levy refuses to properly back the manager and we don't win the league.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It`s not a problem to me fella. I just find it strange that you would dig up stuff from a way back and then try to correlate it with something that may or may not happen in nine months time. Very strange.
You talk about history, but next May is not history is it. So what is your point?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
To cut a long story short Sandy all I'm saying is sometimes it is best to think before you type. A man of your age and experience should know that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So in other words you are saying I shouldn`t post. Or if I do post follow the sheep and post what everybody wants to see. Got it fella. Censorship is it.

I think you're confusing yourself here Sandy, I said 99% of people would agree that 2 articles on the same subject by the same poster would make them relevant. I said nothing about people seeing into the future nor did I ever mention May.

Anyway we are just going around in circles as usual with posters that just want me to follow their agenda. And it simply is not going to happen. If I wanted to be a sheep, I would have been born one.

What agenda do I have here then Sandy?

Your agenda of going around in circles thinking you can change my mind, you cannot. Leave it fella and get on with your day. I certainly am.

Sorry Sandy you started off by trying to change other peoples opinions on whats relevant and irrelevant, have a read back if you need to.
