Can Spurs Play In Europe Every Week?

Whoever said this European football lark was difficult was talking a load of old cobblers. Five games into Tottenham’s 2006 European Tour and with five straight wins we’ve finally found the natural home for our style of play.

Unfortunately our natural home seems to be on the continent rather than the bread and butter of the Premiership but if we keep up the fantastic form we’ve displayed in Europe, both home and away, then there aren’t many of the sides who will join us in the last 32 that we should worry about.

The threat of Barcelona dropping down fron the Champion’s League still looms large although, as with any cup competition, if you have aspirations of lifting the trophy then eventually you’ll have to face the very top teams and, still surprisingly for me despite our 100% record, Spurs are right up there with holders Sevilla as one of the UEFA Cup favourites with the football bookies.

After another clean sheet and another Berbatov goal on his old stomping ground all I can say is bring on allcomers, we’ve been so engrossed for seasons in getting that elusive European place that we’ve forgotten what it’s really all about - getting out there and beating the cream of Europe and bringing home that old pot to White Hart Lane where it belongs and who’s to say that 2006/2007 isn’t shaping up to be as good as chance to do that as anyone could possibly have dreamed before a ball was kicked in Prague the other month?
