Tottenham are rooted bottom of the Premiership, with 2 points, -7 goal difference, and a whole area of North London whining and whinging about how they’re doomed to failure and they’re too good to go down.

No team is too good to go down.

Remember Leeds? Leeds are currently located in League 1 of the English Pyramid, after failing to get promoted from that league. However, 7 years ago it was a different story, going all the way to the Champions League Semi Final against Valencia. Leeds were too big to go down. They did.

In the late 1970’s Nottingham Forest were the best team in Europe, winning two European Cups, a league championship and three league cups. In 1993 they were relegated from the top flight, and bounced around the lower leagues. They are currently bottom of the Championship. Nottingham Forest were too big to go down. They did.

The same however is true, no team is too small to go up. Two teams currently in the Premier League - Hull City & Wigan Athletic, aren’t what you call big clubs. Hull City have never been in the top flight before this season, and they have struggled - 10 years ago to this week they were languishing at the foot of the Football League. Now they are third in the Premiership. Wigan in 1984 won the Unibond League Division 1 North - which is 10 leagues below the Premier League. They’re now a bonefied safe Premier League side.

Teams change, I’m sure that even one day Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal & Liverpool may have bad patches and will slip out of the Premiership. To be “Too Good To Go Down” is a lie, teams are. They always will, law of averages say that teams will slip up and go down, and the monopolising of the top spots by the richest clubs may one day end.

What about you? What’s your club? What’s the lowest they’ve been, and what’s the highest they’ve been.

And Now, some Tottenham Jokes

“David Blaine was gutted to hear that his record of 48 days in the box doing absolutely nothing has been broken by Darren Bent.”

“London Underground wish to apologise for the severe points failure in the Tottenham area”

“What’s the difference between Father Christmas and a Spurs win? Some people actually believe Father Christmas exists.”

One of the funniest videos doing the rounds is the ex Middlesborough & England manager and current FC Twente manager Steve McLaren, who has seemingly picked up a Dutch accent in his short period at the club

Well in Steve! Soon you’ll be offering people a Schmoke & A Pancake!
