I've copied this from a Spurs forum on FB and it sums up pretty much how I feel. "I've heard an awful lot of bollocks talked today about "winning psychology" and the idea that there is something essential or definitive that meant Arsenal were always going to qualify ahead of Spurs. Of course it's frustrating to have it happen again, but, over a whole season, when the difference at the end is a single point, and when you consider the million little events that have won and lost points here and there, the idea that the final positions somehow proved that Arsenal had an indefinable winner-ness that Spurs didn't is, well, not supportable. For one thing, they haven't won a trophy for ages, which is not the behaviour of winners. Of course I'm gutted, but I'm not embarrassed or ashamed on behalf of Spurs. It was a very close thing, and, over the course of the season, we were a couple of points off qualifying. Not bad for a team that hasn't been collecting Champions' League money for nearly two decades or recently been bought by a bored billionaire. At the beginning of this season, we'd just got a new manager and lost three of our best players, and we ended up with more points than the previous season. Not bad, I'd say. Ultimately disappointing, but then we didn't necessarily expect to be this close to the Champions' League places so soon into AVB's period as manager and with a record points total in the PL. On the other hand, how much longer can Arsenal maintain their record of just scraping into the Champions' League every season without winning anything? How exciting it must be for their fans at the end of every campaign, wondering whether they can avoid sliding out of the top four. It's a bit like being one of those teams that regularly struggles with relegation but always just manages to stay up, I suppose." I would like to add that I'm so happy with AVB and what he's achieved, he's tactically brave and takes risks. I love the way he colludes and consolidates with Stefan on the touchline and is not not afraid to make 2 or even 3 substitutions in order to correct wrongs. Please don't forget that in previous seasons, when Spurs go behind we would generally lose the match, not so with AVB. I'm amazed at the number of times this season we've gone behind and won, this was unheard of in the Spurs of old. So fuck Ar$enal, they'll get knocked out of the CL again and be battling for 4th place along with us. But if we can keep Bale, ditch the dead wood and buy a striker or two, next season we'll definitely be up there again. Man U, Chelsea and Man City will all have new managers and we'll have the stability. COYS!!"
