Tottenham fans found their voices once again in the Transfer Tavern this week as their team registered two hugely important victories in league and Europe.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men were beaten by Chelsea and could only manage a draw against Burnley in their opening two Premier League clashes at Wembley this season, this all after opening up the campaign with a 2-0 victory at Newcastle United.

Nonetheless, Spurs fans were in a jubilant mood when lining up at the bar over the weekend, with a brace from Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen’s first goal of the season securing a 3-0 victory at Everton, and thus propelling the North London outfit up to fifth in the division.

And Pochettino and his side produced arguably their performance of the season so far to see off Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, thus finally getting a win at Wembley in a game which could saw full-back Serge Aurier make his Spurs debut.

The 24-year-old left Paris Saint-Germain over the summer to link up with Tottenham, but was subject to interest from Premier League champions Chelsea as well.

And Blues legend Didier Drogba has recently joked that the Ivory Coast international ‘plays for the wrong team’, although here are THREE reasons why the defender did indeed make a mistake signing for Spurs…

Missed their title chance

You sense that, by temporarily moving away from White Hart Lane to Wembley, and then moving to the new stadium for next season, it’s going to be a tricky few years of transition at Tottenham, and some that are unlikely to see a serious title challenge mounted.

Thus, the last two years, specifically the 2015/16 in which Leicester won the title, have seen Spurs miss their golden chance to win the Premier League.

To say they lost it last season would be unfair, they were never really in position to lose it, but the season before you could certainly argue it, with there a few occasions during the campaign where they had to chance to usurp Leicester, but were unable to get the points to do so.

Arguably, Tottenham needed to have won the title before moving to the new stadium and certainly before this term at Wembley, as you sense that, with Wembley as home, it’s unlikely to happen this time round.

One departure could spell tricky few years

Tottenham’s inability to win the Premier League or indeed a major trophy in the last few seasons, as well as their well-documented stringent wage structure, means they are possibly one key departure away from things going wrong.

Clearly, Spurs were up there with Chelsea as one of the best sides in the country last term, but had no silverware to show for it, and no decent Champions League run either – thus, players will eventually have to ask themselves whether this team can indeed go on and win trophies.

And with it evident that several other clubs in both England and around Europe pay substantially more than Tottenham, the money factor also comes into it.

What if Dele Alli is snapped up by Real Madrid, or Christian Eriksen is tempted by Barcelona, or Toby Alderweireld by Inter Milan or Manchester City?

Things could change very quickly at Spurs in the coming years, and although things are often always changing at Chelsea, they at least continue to pick up major honours.

Chelsea are winners, Spurs aren’t (yet)

Quite simply, Chelsea turn their dominance and quality into silverware, and have done ever since Jose Mourinho led them to the League Cup title back in 2005.

Since then, they have won five Premier League titles, the same as Manchester United in the same time, they have won the Champions League back in 2012 and the Europa League back in 2015, added two further League Cup crowns, and secured four FA Cups.

In the same time, Tottenham have one trophy to show for their efforts, back in 2008 when they beat the Blues in the League Cup final.

Regardless of the vast amounts of managerial changes and turnover of players at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea are winners – they have had just four trophyless seasons since 2005.

Spurs haven’t proven themselves to be winners just yet – they clearly have the players to do so, but haven’t been able to get over the line.
