Is Tottenham Hotspur’s trophy cabinet destined to gather dust for eternity?
Seemingly yes after Championship side Middlesbrough condemned Spurs to their 14th consecutive trophy-less season by dumping them out of the FA Cup on Tuesday night.
It must be a hard life as a Spurs fan. Last summer the club miraculously kept ‘he’s one of our’ talisman Harry Kane out of the clutches Manchester City and then won their first three matches of the season. ‘Tottenham title contenders’ predicted some optimistic supporters. Unfortunately not.
Six months later and Tottenham have lost nine times in the Premier League, been knocked out of both domestic cups and been embarrassingly ejected from the Europa Conference League after refusing to field a team against Rennes.
