Tottenham’s dream and nightmare ends to season with trophy on the line amid 47-year record
Tottenham have lost more than half their Premier League games under Ange Postecoglou but could salvage their season with Europa League success albeit a new low could still be suffered
Tottenham have endured a throwback this season – back to a time when they were not considered among the Premier League’s ‘top six’. That title largely derives from their financial success, rather than their on-pitch performances, and is an extension of the old school ‘top four’ that existed in the mid-2000s.
Back in 2008/09 they lost 15 games – their highest number in two decades – en route to an eighth-place finish. This year they’ve already lost 15 games with nine more still to play and finishing eighth seems like a tall order.
