There is something I can’t seem to fathom in this Spurs side – is it that they have tried to pip their arch-rivals Arsenal for that all important Champions League place? Or the fact they blew a 13 points gap to finish third last season and four points this season? Or finishing fourth last season but couldn’t qualify for the group stages of the Champions League simply because Chelsea came out victorious in Munich? I don’t know.
Some would argue Spurs’s major problem is bad luck, but that’s just a few of the lot. And losing Gareth Bale this season could even cause more miseries for the North London club as they are hoping to guarantee a Champions League finish come next May.
And that leaves me with four words- LOSE BALE! FINISH FIFTH!
