Tottenham Hotspur are a club haunted by failure. The stadium may be new but it sits on the old White Hart Lane site and the ghosts remain.
In the quieter moments the club's Australian manager Ange Postecoglou has walked the corridors and studied the photos of past glories: Bill Nicholson's 1961 double-winners, Keith Burkinshaw's 1984 Uefa Cup winners, Terry Venables' 1991 FA Cup winners.
The most recent winners' photos date back to 2008, and that was the unheralded Football League Cup, a minor trinket for a club of Tottenham's resources and ambition.
