Can Tottenham actually win the Premier League? Of course not, but ask Ange Postecoglou and the Spurs manager would not discourage the question, even though he would be the first to point out that it’s still only October football
It is Postecoglou’s belief, and the Australian would say it is also his responsibility, that football football fans are allowed to dream football
Spurs supporters have had little reason to get carried away in recent years but after making their best start to a top-flight season since 1960-61, the last time they won the league, now is as good a time as any football
Postecoglou could not have asked for a football better start: as the Premier League returns following the October international break, Tottenham sit top, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference football
Postecoglou’s side remain unbeaten, winning six and drawing two of their opening eight matches football
From the misery and perpetual sense of chaos that took hold of Spurs last season, Postecoglou has revived the doomed pulse of the club and its fanbase football
That, above the early look of the Premier League table, has been his greatest result so far football
Whether Tottenham’s fast start can last is one of the questions that will define the next chunk of the Premier League campaign football
There are only four rounds of fixtures to be played before the next hiatus, for November’s internationals, and Tottenham’s upcoming run – against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Wolves – is favourable football
Based on their early season form, there is reason for optimism that Spurs may be able to enjoy their view from the summit for a while longer football
Yet, a year ago, it was possible to say the same football
Having beaten Arsenal to fourth place the previous season, Tottenham started the new campaign under Conte with seven wins from their opening 10 matches, a good enough return to sit one point off the top by mid-October football
Given Tottenham went on to win just three of their next 10 and Conte’s fractious relationship with the club finally came crashing down within six months, the foundations were nowhere near as strong as they initially appeared football
Are Tottenham flattered to be in a lofty early position again? Postecoglou’s side have already played and beaten the Premier League’s bottom four, including the three newly promoted sides football
One of those wins required a 99th-minute winner at home to Sheffield United football
Another tight victory, against Liverpool, came after the visitors had the opening goal incorrectly disallowed by VAR, had two players sent off, while Reds defender Joel Matip put a 96th-minute winner into the wrong end football
Tottenham were the benefactors of the “well done, boys, good process” derby football
Yet Tottenham have also earned some fortune, and it is becoming clearer with each week of Postecoglou’s influence that Tottenham may not have picked up those points last season football
While their opening fixtures have been kind, Spurs have also shown resilience and spirit in winning away at Luton with 10 men, after Yves Bissouma’s red card, and equalising twice to earn a point at Arsenal, a fixture at which they had crumbled in previous seasons football
It was a performance that led James Maddison to declare Spurs are shedding their “Spursy” tag football

The fact the departure of Harry Kane has not yet felt as significant is another sign of how Postecoglou has managed to bring the divided sides of what appeared to be a broken club together football
While Kane has gone, there is a freshness about Spurs football
Through the impact of signings such as Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario, the relationship football between players and fans has been repaired football
What has stood out about Postecoglou’s team has been backed up, too, by the numbers football
Last season, Tottenham were often passive and frequently easy to play against football
Even though they carried the threat of Kane, Spurs would appear to pass through games without showing any urgency or ambition; opposition teams would find it alarmingly simple to play through a static, immobile midfield football
But under Postecoglou, Tottenham have become one of the most active teams in the division, progressive with the ball and disruptive without it football
Spurs lead the Premier League in shots on goal, passes into the penalty area, forward dribbles, but also in tackles won and interceptions football
If it reflects that Tottenham now press higher up the pitch than last season, when they barely engaged under Conte, Bissouma has been the key piece in a revamped midfield a year after being frozen out by the Italian football
Maddison, meanwhile, has helped ease the post-Kane transition, a role he appeared ready to step up to when he took the No 10 jersey previously worn by the club’s record goalscorer football
Spurs will never be able to replace Kane, but Postecoglou has so far been able to negate his absence through Maddison and a resurgent Son Heung-min, who looks back to his clinical best after moving to a central forward role football
Maddison, though, has been integral as Tottenham’s creator-in-chief, with five assists so far this season football

Tottenham, really, shouldn’t be near the conversation of title challengers, but timing has played a part football
The win at Luton, which moved them top, came as Manchester City lost their second Premier League game in a row at Arsenal football
If it’s a sign of what’s to come from City this season, it was a result that widened the pool of potential challengers to include Spurs football
The manner in which City eased away from Arsenal last season, however, showed how inch-perfect title contenders must be as long as Pep Guardiola remains in England football
Tottenham, who finished eighth last year, are coming from an even lower floor than Mikel Arteta’s side, albeit with a more dramatic transformation under Postecoglou football
As a side who are still developing together, Spurs should be allowed some inconsistency, even if they are yet to show it football
The early evidence this season suggests they are one of the four strongest teams in the top flight, alongside last season’s title rivals and Jurgen Klopp’s refreshed Liverpool football
In the past, signs of promise around Spurs have often been followed by a swift yet crushing crash back to earth football
But now as Tottenham head deep into October with two winnable London derbies next week, starting with Fulham on Monday followed by a trip to Crystal Palace on Friday, Postecoglou can continue to show why this Tottenham is different football
