Then, around February when it moved from being possible to likely, to inevitable to mathematically certain it just stopped being interesting for them. It was just a thing that had happened. Given the fourth / fifth thing looks a bit like it's going to make no difference and it looks like the current top five will probably end the season there, there's limited mileage in them talking about it.Add to that, I know this all feels incredible to us because of where we've been. But look at it from a neutral perspective: we have a top six squad and a top four manager. It's not that much of a surprise that we'll finish fourth or fifth, is it?

To be honest there are very few things (in the general scheme of every day life) I’d rather not do than watch MOTD when we’ve lost, especially when we’ve been smashed.

You will have a running commentary on how they spent so many minutes commenting on Spurs winning and how they would never have done the same if Villa had won. It is all a conspiracy.
