"It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low. And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory."
Is it time we re-set our sights and aimed higher? We've been targeting finishing fourth for a few seasons now and I think we'd probably all agree that there hasn't really been the echo of glory on the occasions that, for one reason or another, we've missed out on our aim of Champions League football. I've read a few times in the past that it's always going to be difficult to achieve our aim of finishing fourth when there are four other teams in the league competing to finish first.
It feels as though this season has potential to be a turning point for us and we need to shift our mindset, we need to aim higher and believe that we can win the league. There may be a short window of opportunity whilst other teams are in transition with new managers etc we need to go for it - I believe we've got a genuine chance, and in any case that we have more chance of finishing fourth by aiming for first than we have aiming for fourth.
Am I delusional?
