All right guys and gals…Everything comes down to a shocking end on a nerve wracking month of May, where our legacies will begin to be cemented in stone or perhaps delayer for a year or so.
Let’s keep #theGrind going!

It’s always nice to get the recognition of course, but it’s not a priority for me at this point. Our mind is squarely facing bigger issues.

Well whaddatanow? Danny showing signs of life as he is “happy for me”. You know what would’ve made me happy: a transfer budget of 150 you cheap f!ck!
Anyway…

Well that was a sh!t start to the month now wasn’t it?
We had a chance to clinch the Prem yet again and the kids, for the 2nd straight match, clearly felt the pressure and weren’t up to par. Wolves were by far the better team and we relied on luck and individual talent really to escape alive from the Mol. Shout out to Hugo Lloris for finally simulating what he’s like in real life, when he literally passed the ball to an opponent to score an easy goal. He’s already on my exit plans, and with these moves he really doesn’t make a case to stay with a lesser role or in a coach capacity. We pretty much played 10 against 12 with Hugo in there. His little present was the beginning of the end and Maddison was the only one that was able to save us wih an impeccable solo effort that will likely end up in the season highlight reel.
Disappointing overall. We wanted to lock in everything today to play relaxed for the rest of the season, but these kids just weren’t up to it.
And even though we couldn’t lock things up, we got a new accolade:

After this sh!t performance we must now face Barca…. Oh my. I can’t say I’m overly hopeful.

Talk about bouncing back. We were the better overall team. The N’Dombele, Lucho, Maddy midfield just keeps getting stronger. Bad things happen whenever I break them up. As you well know, I didn’t expect us to fight through Liverpool, let alone Barcelona. As it turns out, we had an easier time getting by the Spaniards than the reds. For the second year in a row, Spurs will make a finals appearance. Some teams haven’t done that in 100 years! We’re not getting our hopes up, there’s a long way to go and we have other priorities, but we couldn’t be happier! Last stop: PSG at the end of the month! (they beat Madrid 6-2 in the aggregate Sweet Baby Jesus)
As it stands, we need to find a way to close this out and get that Premier League title now up against a strong Norwich team. But at Spursville nothing ever comes easy for anyone, so let’s do this!

Can someone explain this to me? I haven’t won anything and I’m going to a tourney only played by Champions? I must be missing something… FM buf? What am I missing? Help me out fellas!!

I’m truly at a loss. Just kind find the words. It’s as if this group just doesn’t want to win. They’ve sabotaged themselves to such a point that we might not win the Prem at all, something that seemed like a given 2 fixtures ago. If Liverpool wins their match we have to go over at Bournemouth and win no matter what. This group really shot themselves in the foot and it’s disgusting to see. I’ve no idea how we got here but the hard work is going down the shitter so quickly. I’m pissed off. Depressed. Disappointed. This f!cking group will train hard tomorrow and now we have to start praying they actually play like men next week. I made a couple of rotation changes -plugged in Dele, Todibo, and Haaland- and all of them couldn’t live up to par. Perhaps that’s my mistake for giving too many opportunities to youngsters that aren’t quite ready yet. But unfortunately that’s the basis of the entire project.
What a f!clking mess. At this point, if we don’t win, it’ll be seen as a biggest f!cking choke job in the history of the Prem. And that’s not the type of history I want to make in my first year as manager. But, they play Manchester United AT OLD TRAFFORD, so my rant perhaps will be for naught…. Hopefully.

We’ve DONE IT!!! WE’VE DONE IT!!!
Champagne all around, Queen’s “We are the Champions” is played throughout Spursville, confetti and gold rain comes down from the sky, and every corner of the UK chants our songs. Who knew such happiness could come after such a bad game! But who cares!!! (for now).
The road to greatness isn’t far away, it’s here!
Liverpool couldn’t handle Man U as they lost 3-1 which means Spurs are the Premier League champions!!! (mind you my previous rant still stands, that result was unacceptable).
There’s not much to say. We blended youth and experience throughout the season, we rotated plenty, used as much as 35 players overall, and somehow managed to reach our goals way ahead of schedule! Yes, this hurts statistically some players, and our constant tactic tweaking doesn’t allow players like Kane to have real monster seasons, but our culture is based on team play and sacrifice, and they certainly did that. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve begun doing here and what we can accomplish moving forward. I can’t promise silverware, but I can promise improvement from key players.

Most glory chasing managers would use it as a springboard to reach much higher grounds, such as Real, Barca, etc., but we’ve began something important here and we’re going nowhere!
![]()
We might be ahead, but we’re just beginning. The season’s been magical, but there’s a lot of work to do. Mind you, our last Prem League Trophy was lifted in 1961 for f!cks’ sake. And in one year we lift two and put ourselves in a position to win 3!! Everyone’s absolutely buzzing and ecstatic we managed something so special and tremendous. Huge shout to Man U for keeping Liverpool at bay while my boys came inches away from choking historically.
As our week moves on we get some good news
![]()
Despite all our spending, which might’ve seemed way too much, our finances are doing very well and our decision to sell key players at the beginning and mid season have proven to be favorable for our overall play and finances.
Now we focus on closing strong in the Prem.
![]()
I’m really happy about this one, not only because we won, but because we went with a completely alternative starting XI: Russo; Mukiele, ABK, Todibo, Bard; Camavinga, Tonalli, Bellingham (now known as Hey Jude); Mo, Saka, Greenwood.
After a questionable 1st half, we made specific adjustments (moved Greenwod to AMR pulling Saka, using Henrichs as a LWB for Bard, and inserted Sigurosson late in the game for a Mo that had an average game). Literally the future played today against a strong team away from home, and the future certainly lived up to all their promise. Bournemouth were extremely lucky from a set piece SIX minutes of extra time (and the officials had given only 5), so to say they were fortunate is a MASSIVE understatement. I’m not mad or disappointment, I had some championship level talent out there and they played well. Hey Jude got himself in the scoresheet twice (of many to come I’m guessing) and Haaland got back to his scoring ways. I’m taking the positives and I destroyed the referees in the press conference of course.
As the week advances we receive news:

It’s important to embed winning in the DNA of this club, and setting records like this one certainly help matters.

Jude Bellingham’s making news for all the right reasons. Some following this story were rightfully concerned when we spent so much money on this kid, but he’s showing already what he’s capable of, and he’s only 16!!!

These upcoming weeks are going to be filled with news like this one. Barcelona sacked Valverde the second La Liga finished (Atlético won it), and now, 10 seconds after the last Premier League game finished, Pep got the sack. It’ll be interesting to see where he ends up. Perhaps a Barca reunion?
![]()
Another sign the universe has provided us in terms of selling Lloris. Audero had a very solid season finishing second in Golden Glove awards. Lloris’ appearance in the Champions League final will probably the last one of his Tottenham career, something we can say of many others as well.
![]()
A 71% win ratio and a surprise Title were surely more than enough reasons to get this prestigious award. One we’re very proud of and hopefully one of many more!
![]()
Thanks for the public support, Danny. I guess this means I can approach you about a new contract before time right? God knows I deserve it. Perhaps this also means that you’ll start coughing up more resources for this team, like BETTER YOUTH RECRUITMENT!!
On a positive not as well, N’Dombele and Kane made the team of the year, so that’s always good. After our game against PSG I’ll be making an entire chapter dedicated to player evaluation as we wind up #theGrind in its first season.

It’s also nice to know that our finances are all safe and sound as it stands, so all in all, despite our spending, we’ve been fiscally responsible.
And all of a sudden….
![]()
Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!
So f!cking typical. I could’ve sent the team on a beach walk and Harry still would’ve gotten injured. I could’ve kept him locked at home and he would’ve fatally injured a nostril for too much breathing. Not the best of signs with 8 days to go….Kill me now.
Meanwhile:

They may not have gotten the Prem, but Klopp made sure they’d walk away with something this season.
Now comes the most important game of our young career…

Heartbreaking.
Just completely heartberaking.
This game had anything BUT defending and too many mistakes. Lucho, Milenkovic, and N’Dombele chose the worst time of the year to have their worst performance as Spurs’ players. N’Domb had a series of mistakes that were later compounded with a stupid penalty the Cavani cashed in. Lucho literally gave the ball away two meters away from goal, allowing Cavani to score again. On the counter part, Haaland scored in similar fashion: a penalty and a mistake by Marquinhos. With set piece we were able to get the lead. I brought Olmo in to stabilize the midfield and he was just flat out awful, while Chiesa continued his disappointing 2nd half of the season without being able to do anything from either flank -just super disappointed in him. Dele continues his lackluster football right next to Son. I guess it only makes sense that Lloris and Son underachieved in the most important game of the season, which coincidentally makes for their last games as Spurs players as well. 2 set pieces allowed PSG to tie and later score the late go ahead goal, and it was curtains for us.
At one point, when we were up 3-2, and Halaand had that 4th and his hattrick on a very easy one on one, but as we all know, scoring in one on one situations is almost as rare as finding unicorns in this f”cking game (I’m very sad and pissed off, pardon my French).
Now it’s about fining certain players, having them train non stop for 5 hours, and then releasing them for vacations and paid trips to sports psychologist for the WEAK MINDED LITTLE BOYS THEY ARE! It happened to us throughout the season: we just could not pull out results in big matches It happened against Arsenal and Liverpool TWICE. Today, the biggest game of our career by far and the lads came up short.
I take solace on the fact that this group is so young that the chances of us being right back here next season are high, and if we’re consistent, many of these kids will be even better. Big decisions are on the horizon for us in terms of who stays, goes, etc., but for now we have to lick our wounds and do our best to pick ourselves up and get even stronger, something I’ve no doubt this group will be able to do. This is all part of growing pains. Nodoby expected us to do so much in one season, yet we did it. Who knows where this group can be this time next year.
And that ladies and gents is how May wraps up. Mixed results and emotions. Happiness and tears. Joy and hatred, laughter and sadness, glory and doom, etc. We see our heroes rise only to see them fall… But our time will come. Of this I’m sure.
Now it’s about evaluation. We’ll regroup, review, and have massive analysis on all our players this season.
That is how #TheGrind in its first season comes to an end!
Up next #playerEval and #SpursAwards – stick around!
Let’s keep #theGrind going!
