I know Red NS. But where does that leave us and me in particular? £800 on ST to hope we finish 5th. Its enough to make a grown man cry. The thing is Stanley what we face now is what all the teams below us have faced throughout there supporting life. just that we are not used to it. I am afraid all we are now is what the likes of Spurs where back in the 80's where they saw a good season as a top six finish and maybe an F.A.Cup win. Tell you what Stanley I would in all honesty snatch your hand off for a season like that now, still think it's a disgrace that Liverpool Football Club still have'nt played at the new Wembley when teams like Millwall, Cardiff, Southampton, Pompey and even the Toffs have all played there in Finals.

maybe this is just me being stupid, but why do you think that Spurs have better squad depth than we do? I really can't think of where they have more depth other than the goalkeeping department, and if they lose modric, I would go on and say we have a midfield which is quitea bit stronger than theirs. They have a decent leftback, IMO Bale is not World class, just good and had a great season. I don't see why they should have preference over us for 4th spot. Also if they lose Modric, for them it will be like when we lost Alonso, a big setback, because it's hard to replace players that are the creative force in the team, and even when you replace them, it takes time for them to settle in a gel. I have high hopes for next season, I am realistic so I won't say we will win the title but I think a top 4 position is very very realistic. Marko2709, you only have to look at what happend last season when we had a few injuries we were forced to bring in kids like Flannagan and Robinson even Johnson had to play out of position on the left this shows how thread bare the squad is. Spurs have experienced depth from back to front and there midfield strenghth is particulary strong with Bale, Lennon, Palacios, Huddlestone, Jennas, Modric, Van Der Vaart, Sanderos,Kranjaer and Pienaar thats 10 players after 4 positions, we have a one or two injuries and Jay Spearing becomes a regualar which says it all.

i think your being a bit harsh on Jay there. I thought he had an excellent finish to the end of the season.

Nothin at all wrong with Jay as he is a good lad, just think he is no youngster and will probably fall into the Danny Murphy, Davie Thompson category of just not top class enough to win you leagues.

Well, spurs did finish above us last season so its not unreasonable to think they that they have a better squad and will finish above us again.

You could say that about every player we've had in the last 20 years..
