Our most important month in fifty years

As anyone who reads my blog, I am quite the conservative if not pessimistic fan. In my thirty years of following Tottenham, they have only delivered to satisfy my personality. This season has been the best Spurs season in my time as a Spurs fan. OK 1982 we had a shot at the title, lost the league cup final, won the FA Cup and were semi finalists of the Cup Winners Cup, but this year is something different. I think when i was a kid I had an expectation we were the best team in the county, as ill founded as it was.

Beginning today with our FA Cup tie with Stevenage and only Chelsea and Liverpool as big opposition left in the competition, this is surely our best chance to win the trophy since 1991.

But as good as the FA Cup has been to Spurs over the years, it is the league which I am more interested in. We are probably 15 points from a Champions League place, which would have been our target at the start of the season, but there is probably a chance of greater success than that. I did the BBC's predictor the other day and actually had us winning the league by two points.

Of course to get to around the 88 point mark needed would mean a fantastic run to the end of the season. That is 35 points in 13 games. Eleven wins and two draws! We do have a very good run home, with no other team to face who are currently in the top 7 after we play Chelsea next month.

However our fight starts next week going to Arsenal, who will be smarting after their disastrous last two games, and I imagine they will want to make a point against us. This is followed by games against Manchester United, Everton, Stoke and Chelsea. I feel if we come out of these games and still within six points of the leaders we have a real shout.

On Spurs blogs we have always debated about players we need, being short in this position and that, but for the first time, barring injuries, we are not short, we have all we need, we just need to win now, score goals and don't concede. Its a simple plan.

My heart yearns for another double success, I would accept just one of the two trophies we have a chance of as long as we finish in the top three, but what if we win the league. Wow, that is something I am really dreaming of.

COYS!!!
