We are on a very poor run of results, certainly. But we're third in the PL and in the quarter finals of the Champions League. We bossed Liverpool at Anfield in the second half today in a manner which few other teams have done this season. Poor sides don't do that.
Injuries have taken their toll - as have playing "home" games at Wembley and the lack of a summer rest / pre-season preparation for a high proportion of first choice players who played in the World Cup through to its final weekend. And yes, the lack of investment has contributed to the current run too.
Poch made no overtures to Utd or Madrid. If he spoke ambiguously to the press, it was only to put pressure on Levy (and to acknowledge that it is also possible that he could one day be sacked). He is very happy where he is; believes in what Spurs are doing for the long term; and wants to bring silverware to the club.
Vermaelen used to play in north London - for Arsenal. Now plies his trade at Barca. Perhaps you're thinking of Vertonghen (who is certainly not old for a defender and getting better like good wine)? Sanchez is still young for a central defender. He's also as fast as they come - so defending against players with pace is not a problem. Decision making is where he has greatest room for improvement.
Rose has been excellent this season. He has just become injury prone.
Other than all of that, I make you right. You could easily beat Spurs 3-0 in all three games. You're good.
