There has never been a better time to be a Tottenham fan in the modern era, the club are set to move into a beautiful brand new home on near enough the same turf that was walked on by legends of yesteryear, sitting pretty in an FA Cup semi-final and now look set to be playing Champions League football for a third successive season.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side represent something far more complex than a squad, Poch has built a family of warriors, spirited brothers taking hits for each other, pulling in the same direction and singing from the same song sheet.

This Ben Davies quote epitomises the spirit and togetherness of this side:

This mentality is a joy to behold, this is the type of passion and commitment fans cry out for.

In recent years, fans have lusted over the lushious skills of Bale, Ginola, Hoddle, Klinsmann, Modric etc, as well as warming to the not so talented players who wore their heart on their sleeve and gave blood sweat and tears for the shirt, i.e Steffen Freund.

For now, it is not a matter of choosing between style and sentiment. A side with a homegrown contingent blessed with dexterity but most of all passion, Mauricio Pochettino has installed a burning desire in each of those players to become the very best they can be for this great club.

“But what have they won?”

The job that Pochettino has done at this club is often overshadowed because let’s be honest…..”What has he won?”

You only have to look across the town at them lot down the road to see that one trophy will not be the difference between partisan unity and segregation between fans and players.

The age old “Lads it’s Tottenham” burden is slowly ebbing away, for the demons of yesteryear are being laid to rest. The battle of the bridge in May 2016, demonstrated the transition between being Spursy and successful. Giving up a two goal lead had us reminiscent of our old times and having our Spurs back, but the manner in which we went down fighting, and dragged Chelsea to hell and back in our downfall had put to bed the “soft underbelly” that we have been associated with for too long.

Times are changing, for now we are a real force in this country, and the sense of fear and competition is beginning to grow amongst rivals.

The truth is that after years of being inconsequential, this giant has awoken. When it comes to 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, we don’t look out for scores elsewhere unlike the so called “giants” of English football, we have our Tottenham and that’s all we’ll ever need.

At Tottenham it’s always a rollercoaster ride, and after years of torrential rain and downpour in North London, there is a new forecast for this city – Sunshine.

The future is bright,

The future is Lilywhite….

COME ON YOU SPURS.
