The ones I know couldn't even bring themselves to discuss the possibility of winning the league for fear of jinxing it.

Apart from a very few weak moments, I never seriously thought they'd win it. I don't know why. On paper it was perfectly possible - even likely. But the fact that they're Spurs just kept coming back to me and I ruled the possibility out.
