A couple of things that have wound me up a bit though if I'm honest, and felt the need to register and at least comment politely.
Firstly the attendance thing mentioned about us. We 90% filled the ground tonight for a game where we were 5-0 up and coasting from the first leg, I think that's pretty expensive, and our general attendance vs capacity for cup games is very strong, and for league games is impeccable.
On the note of us not being considered rivals anymore, I can understand the view that your spending has meant it's very very likely, if not a given, you will finish above us. What does frustrate me is the arrogance that seems to accompany this view, as looking at the last two seasons...
Season 1 - we finish 4th, you finish 5th. We beat you twice.
Season 2 - you finish 4th, we finish 5th. We draw, but most would agree by the skin of your teeth, and you beat us 1-0 after we dominate you most of the evening.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but to completely ignore us on the basis of the above seems strange.
Finally, Adebayor. I honestly believe you've just given us the thing we miss the most, a striker who can actually get on the end of our creativity. You will finish above us this season and good luck to you, you've done us a massive favour though, believe me.

We finished 3rd last season mate. But apart from that I agree with pretty much everything you say

A Gago - Adebayor deal would have been more sensible IMO.

Would would the spurs fan rather have Dzeko or Adebayour?
