My predictions/dreams for Tottenham Hotspur this season

Heading in to the 25-26 Premier League season, my thoughts on the Spurs are summed up as “could be better; could be worse.”

Given that my favorite coach in recent memory and favorite player of all time left the team this summer, I consider this a decent place to be heading into opening weekend.

Given all this past summer has entailed, if you had told me before the Super Cup that we would lose to PSG in penalties, I would be thrilled. How we lost that match—up by two in the 85th minute—is another all-too-common Spurs story. But a key take away is this: Thomas Frank can coach. It was a great display of planning against the opponent at hand.

My predictions for Tottenham this year:

• Another trophy, perhaps most likely FA Cup or Carabao.
• Top 5 finish in the Premier League
• Survive of the Group Stage League Phase of the Champions League

N.B. One might argue that the line between my predictions and my dreams is thin. Sure. But also, a fandom that includes blurring that line is the only sort of fandom worth enjoying.
