I think if Tottenham are going to be top four side, the fans and the club will need to get away from the philosophy of 'pretty football', that's got to go.

The most sublime Alan Hansen quotes you will be delighted to read
Manchester City have been in the doldrums for a while, they came up and went straight back down again.
The World Cup needs a brilliant Brazilian team.
In '82 Brazil showed that you can't win the World Cup without a solid defense.
I played against the Brazilians in '82, who were definitely the best team never to have won the World Cup.
Souness critics must eat humble pie as he transforms Newcastle.
The second half was easy to sum up - and absolute shambles! (on England losing to Denmark 4-1)
Everybody likes Brazil and we want the Brazilians to come out.
We got stuffed 4-1, but it was just great to play against, it was like an education. You think you are half good and then you go and play against a side like that!
Even though they won't finish in the top four this season, they will still be of the contenders next season.
I go by records and Bob Paisley is the No 1 manager ever!
The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.
It's incredible considering the public perception that he was tight fisted and he was more than prudent, and lacked ambition to take Tottenham to where the fans wanted them to be.
You'll never win anything with kids
The Italians are very strong defensively. They showed in Euro 2000 how good defensively they are.

I don't miss playing football, but I do miss going into the dressing room every day and having a laugh.
Live television is always stressful and the more you do it, the more you realise what can go wrong.
When George Graham was there they complained, harking back to better days, but I think that's a fantasy.
Potentially he could be. He scored the goal four years ago in France against Argentina that was extraordinary.
The boy can do anything, but to be the star of the World Cup you have got to get to the final and win it!
He's sharp, he can score and he doesn't worry about missing.
I was surprised, the triple-stack package produced eight to 15 more bushels.
These guys live and breathe football;
they get something out of going to the training ground every day.
I think the reality is that, that money was probably badly spent.
I think when people talk about ambition and talking to him, it might have seemed that he wasn't ambitious.
I don't think anyone enjoyed it. Apart from the people who watched it.
I don't expect to see them in the top six but I think of all the teams that have come up in previous seasons, I think Manchester City are the biggest club.
