I don't get his argument. Spurs tried to win the Prem but they've fallen short - and so have we, and so has every other club in this league. If you try your level best to achieve something but you don't manage it, you've failed, surely? This chap is pretty much saying Spuds didn't want to win the league, which is absolute bovine excrement. They bottled it, the same as all the other Prem teams.
There's no shame in having a go. Chelsea have been the better team this season, so sod feeling sorry for ourselves, let's all just lick our wounds, regroup over the summer, and next season (in the words of Slippy G) "We go again"!
