Spurs have got 4th because Liverpool failed pretty miserably this year. Fulham have got into the Europa League final after some mind-blowing performances while still achieving a solid league position after 60 games this season and 2 more left to go, Birmingham are set for a top half finish even though they are a newly promoted team. I know Harry has done a very good job but doesn't come close to Alex McLeish or Woy Hodgson, nowhere near close
Hardly.
With our points total, we would have finished 4th in the following seasons over the last 10 years:
2008/2009 - 4th (73 points w/ win at Burnley)
2006/2007 - 3rd (70 or 73 points would achieve this)
2005/2006 - 4th (as above)
2004/2005 - 4th (as above)
2003/2004 - 4th (as above)
2002/2004 - 3rd (as above)
2001/2002 - 4th (as above)
2000/2001 - 2nd (73 points w/ win at Burnley)
1999/2000 - 2nd (73 points w/ win at Burnley)
I get the feeling Spurs aren't getting the credit they deserve purely because Harry Redknapp is managing them. There seems to be a lot of animosity about him.
Either way though, the team and the manager deserve credit for finishing 4th, regardless of Liverpool's season. Even if they had performed well, we still may have been above them at this stage with a 70(73) points total.
