Spurs: Your worst moments......

Bit of a random fact considering this table is at 23 games...

23 + 15 = 38.

So there was still 40% of the season to go at the point where people are claiming we bottled it or collapsed.

The point is that if you buy the premise of OP you are saying no more than that for 60% of the season we were the 3rd best team in the league, and therefore should have finished there. But since when do you have the right to anything after just 60%? Only past half way. That is a ridiculously early place to identify a perceived collapse from. We didn't bottle it at all - our sticky patch was just statistically grouped in that final 40%.
 
It's simple really, we overperformed in the first half of the season and underperformed in the second. It's not as simple as "you have won X amount of games up to this point, you should therefore carry on doing so". Players get injured, lose form, get tired, need rests etc. In the first half of the season we were quite lucky on the injury front as most of our star players were relatively free from injuries, so we became remarkably consistent. In the second half we'd let all the squad players go because they were getting fed up of not playing, then when the star players got tired or injured we had no real cover. Now perhaps if Harry had rotated more in the first half then we'd have dropped more points then but not collapsed quite as badly. If we'd stayed consistently in 4th place throughout instead of being miles in front, people would say it was a good season.

It is a bit early to call this season a success. A lot depends on the outcome of the European Cup final. If Chelsea wins then our forth place means sweet fcuk all in terms of Champions League. And qualification for the Thursday Cup isn't really an achievement. Even Liverpool will play Europa League next season. And they actually won a cup to get there.

This. Before the season started everyone expected us to finish 5th - and yet we've come in the Champions League places and got to an FA Cup semi-final. I'm happy with what we've achieved this season, and hopefully moreso if Bayern spank the Fascists.

Kunts are such wonderful, awe-inspiring things. Such a beautiful, complex and fascinating piece of anatomy. Source of endless pleasure. Point of origin of my children.

What did they ever do to acquire such a negative connotation in British culture? The only one I know of that makes such frequent and strident use of the word in this way.
 
i think it all started when those idiots started to run riot in tottenham...............put us on the back foot from the start......took us till january to catch up....:rolleyes:
 
what's your worst moment supporting spurs ?

still feeling pretty low myself but nothing really compares to devastation i felt after we lost that cup final to a crap blackburn side that had mark hughes who was about 40 at the time in midfield. can't forget les ferdinand who's supposed to be coaching our strikers missing about 4 sitters. couldn't shake that one off for weeks afterwards.

honourable mention goes to losing to coventry. i cried after that one. :cry:
 
26 years old. There's been a few.

I think my most miserable moment is still, sadly, Lasagna-gate. Genuinely heartbroken, devastated, took a long time to get over that.

Saturday night wasn't far off to be honest.
 
Saturday was certainly up there for me, another one in recent history was losing that FA Cup Semifinal to an abysmal Portsmouth side
 
After 30+ years of support there's been a few.

Spurs 3 - Utd 5
Spurs 3 - City 4

The one that actually made me cry though was the 87 FA Cup Final against Coventry. We were up for a treble that year and got nothing. I was devastated.
 
I'm fifty, so too many to count really. Maybe the semi of the FA Cup when ****ball inexplicibly decided to try to catch the ball in the penalty area. Was that the jurgen semi? I seem to think so.
 
The two stuffings by Saudi Sportswashing Machine in the 90's. I watched the 6-1 in my local and actually walked out at half time because we were play so badly I knew what was coming. That 6-1 hurt more than the 7-1! Blowing a 3-0 lead against 10 Emirates Marketing Project hurt a lot too.

But the most hurtful for me remains the 3-2 defeat by Coventry in the 1987 FA Cup final. Was absolutely gutted!
