UEFA Champions League: Whether Spurs Supporters Should Expect More - Cartilage Free Captain
For those on the outside looking in, there's little reason why Tottenham Hotspur shouldn't be doing this well in Champions League. We see the players. We see how they've performed for the last year-and-a-half in England. Why can't Spurs also compete in the world's premier club tournament? The lack of answers for that question explains why the club's knock-out round appearance has surprised few (and why many think they'll get past Milan in the round of 16).
For a Spurs supporter, however, it’s difficult to embrace current success with a heart full of past disappointments. Those disappointments, according to Cartilage Free Captain’s Kevin McCauley, are keeping one Spurs supporter from fully embracing the club’s new-found success. On the contrary, they’re causing panic.
And Kevin tell us who, exactly, is panicking.
This guy is. This guy is having an absolute panic attack. As you all know, before this season, Tottenham Hotspur had never qualified for the new and improved European Cup, re-branded as the UEFA Champions League. Last year, if you told me that we would get through the group stage before falling to AC Milan in the Round of 16, I would have taken that and called it a serious success. Of course, like any spoiled brat, I wasn't actually done wishing for stuff once I got what I originally wanted. No, I'm a small and petulant child, as we've discussed. I want more Champions League gimme gimme gimme!
Neurotic? Sure, but when the ethos underscoring your fandom expects disappointment, success is difficult to accept, potentially explaining the guarded tone at Cartilage Free Captain. That’s where you can go to get all of SB Nation’s Tottenham Hotspur community content.
