The hangover is nearly gone, and after a 3-month wait, the 09/10 season is starting soon (Ed: I know it had started with our London neighbours' victory over the guys in red from Manchester in the Community Shield, but for us Spurs fans, this Saturday will be the beginning).
A fresh season, a fresh start, and maybe a fresh stab at usurping the top 4.....
Or maybe not.
Throughout the summer break, we have seen the (probable) rise of the blue half of Manchester flexing its (financial) muscle a la Chelsea years back, buying player after player, and maybe even poaching (or good riddance?) one of our players over. Forget Everton, forget even Aston Villa, I would say Manchester City is the team to watch, but only if they have enough gel (not the hair ones) to go through.
What's worse, our defence is weakened, with Woodgate out for a few weeks, Dawson may also be out and King probable. Our start is really shaky.
But we do have a silver lining - we now have 2 ex-Liverpool players, or strikers - Keane (old news) and Peter Crouch. Both of them may even start at our opening match against their old club, and combined with Defoe and (maybe) Pavlyuchenko it would be a strike force to reckon with.
So, what holds for us Spurs?
Only time will tell.
And meanwhile, Audere Est Facere (To Dare is to Do).
And COYS!!!!
May the season begin!
