We all are and those of us not old enough to remember 61 probably thought, like me, that they'd never see their beloved spurs win the league so I, for one, have loved every minute of this season.

Before I go on. .. well done Leicester! Hope you enjoy your year of being champions and hopefully we can continue to battle it out in the new season.

We are guaranteed 3rd place, which is an amazing achievement for us. We have been the only team to challenge the champions and have only lost 3 matches in 36 so far.

There are plenty of lessons to be learned for next season but what I am interested in is what are your favourite moments of the season?

Mine was not a single moment ... it was the realisation that we are no longer a soft touch. I have enjoyed our players standing up for themselves and each other all season. It is a vital ingredient which all very good teams have and which we have often lacked.

My second was being at the WBA match and at the finak whistle the whole crowd were chanting "we love you tottenham we do" and "tottenham til I die". Fantastic support imo!

I may still never see my spurs win the league but I have really enjoyed the dream of it.

Nice words from an ex-player

Former Tottenham forward Mido, who threatened to shave his head if Leicester won the Premier League, with a complimentary, if defiant, message for the Foxes, which our friends at BBC Monitoring have kindly translated into English for you.
"Congratulations Leicester City, yours is the greatest victory for football, but don't forget that the best team playing beautiful football this season was Spurs. Good morning!!"

Me too. I confess to a little tear at the final whistle from the level of support, it was amazing. You could feel disappointment, but absolutely no anger

We had no chance the Chavs would always throw the
last game of the season .
we lost it around ropey Europa and West Ham game .
For me seeing players look very good which l thought were
average , Dembele , Lamela etc.
As even top 6 seemed a miracle , this has to be
down to Poch's brilliance .
Needs backing to improve quality coming off bench but not
sure he will get it.
 
Favourite moment was the realisation that we just have a fantastic future ahead of us, I got that around December/January, I was optimistic last season about the potential of this side but this season has surpassed anything I thought I'd see. We have an unbelievable manager, with superb young, hungry and determined players with a real passion to succeed for the badge on the front of the shirts and not just worrying about the name on the back which so many do these days but with that passion they've shown us, they can rest assure that I will most certainly remember the names on the back for the joy they've given me.

I'll also stick Dele's goal at Palace in there as a single outright moment, I was literally right in line with Alli as he hit it, the celebrations were first a "Oh my god what the **** has just happened?1" to then "holy ****ing **** I'm going bat-**** mental" <laugh>.

I can add so many though, the demolitions of City and Utd were an absolute joy, the victories against Stoke, Bournemouth, Norwich and Villa are also up there, Chadli's goal against Palace, Kane's against Arsenal, like you said in regards to us all after the WBA match, I was so happy to see the rally from the fans when watching the pure dejection on our lads, hopefully it made them realise just how much we appreciate what they've done for us and to hold their heads high.

Off pitch :

Arriving at Heathrow on Feb 15 at 5am from HK, having no idea what the sunday
results were the day before, fretting about it overnight, picking up the Metro and
seeing Spurs had beat Citeh and were 2 pts from top.

On pitch :

Both of them IMHO were "a star is born" moments.
So without further ado, give me a Dele Alli wave and ...

- the nutmeg on Modric
- the goal against Palace
 
Son's late winner at Watford was certainly a great moment, as at that moment it felt like the team was starting to become something special...although Troy Deeney mouthing off about it like a twat took some of the shine off of it.
 
Highlight for me: The celebrations with the team after the Man City game was a great moment, with Poch hugging every player individually. For a brief week or so I allowed myself to believe we might just have a chance at the title.

I've been lucky enough to go to all the home games and most away games this season, there's been plenty of highlights such as city, West Ham and Utd at home etc.

For me the pick was Stoke away, the performance, score line, atmosphere and celebrations at the end we're all fantastic.

There have been so many good moments but this was the one for me. Our crowd, squad and management as one. This marked a statement - we are here to win, no matter who you are, we can come to your back yard and have you over.
 
A memory that sticks out for me (as a mainly armchair viewer, although delighted to be going on Sunday for the first time in a while <whistle> ), was towards the end of the first half at the Emirates.

And it was actually a commentary line.

We were swarming all over Arsenal, and they could barerly get a foot on it, and Gary Neville suddenly says, in genuine astonishment,

"I can't believe what I'm seeing here"

For me that was the dawn of Poch's super Spurs.

I think the way the boys stood up at Stamford Bridge was in some ways a similar moment. The confirmation that we have not just dawned in footballing terms, but in terms of an increidble togethorness and fortitude.

It's great to know for a change, that the future's bright. The future is something to get excited about.
