That seems to be the reality for Spurs at the moment. Whether we like it or not, it seems that most of the players are now looking forward to the summer and the season to follow. This is not what we as fans would like to see and I am a tad bit worried that Juande has not got them flying until the end. It may be that he and Gus Poyet feel that they will learn as much from the players at this stage without pushing them – perhaps they will see who is self motivated and who requires a kick up the rear.

It is a funny position for the fans to be in. Of course we won a trophy this season and feel really good about that but at the same time we have become used to end of the season games with a lot to play for. Two seasons ago we were very close to that key fourth spot, only to lose it in cruel fashion, and then last season we ended up charging in late and getting the fifth spot at the end of the season.

As our eyes turn to the summer we will have to consider who comes in and who leaves. Before then we should probably cheer the squad who got us the cup even if we have drifted a wee bit since then – so to all you lads – cheers!
