Negative style of play?I don't think so Greaves.Maybe you've been watching Spurs in a parallel universe to me.The last 5 years have been the best football I've seen from us since ...errr 1963 ?
ha ha ha ....maybe some games have reached the heady heights but we have gone from high press a few years ago in early poch days to slow slow sidey build up.
I yearn not for boring consistency. My spurs used to excite with open attacking play, We won more trophies with exciting inconsistency than the boring consistency we have now (odd games apart e.g Dortmund at home)
Yes I know we never got into the CL before Harry and Poch but we won trophies.
Your ?? 1963 comment is rather far fetched mate IMO..
The 1967 1980 1981 teams for example were a joy to watch as were the klinsman, Ginola Lineker Gaza Hoddle periods to name but a few!.
Somewhere on this site is a recent post with video showing the 3-2 away cup victory against Chelski in the 80's . Now that was attacking fun and a joy to behold. We are still inconsistent, so will never win the league, but in a really boring way now...so in my opinion your comment about the best footballl for decades is insulting to those previous teams / players/eras.
If best football is possession without end product , then you are right...go figure.
All about perception and opinion, but I beg to differ with you mate.
