Arsenal winning the League at White Hart Lane, for the second time (2004). Watching Henry run to their fans wasn't as painful as Madrid (I cried my eyes out two days later, true footballing heart break), but it is hard to take still to this day. The only way I'd get over that is if we won the league at their place or beat them in a UCL Semi-Final at their place before winning it.
For me it's that. You can have all the games against minnows that ended in defeat, the big leads thrown away (5-3, 4-3, 3-3) and the absolute spankings (5-0, 6-1, 7-2, 7-1) dished out in the past but it's nothing in comparison to your arch rivals winning the League at your place. That's why Lasagne Gate when Arsenal pipped us to fourth after defeat to West Ham in 2006 and Munich when Chelsea won the Champions League (first and still only London club to do so) before qualifying for the competition is up there.
I'm surprised no one mentioned it...
- Arsenal winning the league at our place 1971 and 2004
- Munich (the whole World laughed at us for that)
- Lasagne Gate (we actually shat our pants and was the first footballing meme).
Writing and editing this post has been like therapy, after all these years I know why I react to certain defeats the way I do.
I guess the biggest problem for us Tottenham fans is trying to compensate, let alone over compensate, for all the dissapointments these past 30 years (26 years for me).
Because Arsenal aren’t seen as our main rival by most on this forum. They’re kind of looked at the way most spurs fans in real life look at Fulham.

One match always sticks out in my mind. This was awful.
Sheffield United 6-0 Tottenham Hotspur (March 1993)
Tottenham Hotspur: Erik Thorstvedt, Dean Austin, Gary Mabbutt, Pat Van den Hauwe, Jason Cundy, Andy Gray (Steve Sedgley 64), Paul Allen, Vinny Samways, Darren Anderton, Nayim (John Hendry 64), Teddy Sheringham
Clemence & Livermore joint managers.
There's highlights here, it's actually worth a watch, very nostalgic!
But matches I felt the worst from: Lasagna-gate and CL final

Indeed. Typical Tottenham fans, just love wallowing in s h i t.
No wonder the rest of the world laughs.

I had considered this one as it stands as our (joint) worst Premier League defeat on record (of course I am aware that football existed pre 1992 and I think someone has already listed the 0-7 defeat at Anfield). This defeat at Sheffield U was a really bizarre one....we'd been in excellent form prior and the Teddy, Sheringham, Barmby axis was in full flow - we'd won 6 on the spin scoring 19 goals going into the game.
However, it was a Tuesday night, so probably got lost a little....and all attention was on the Emirates Marketing Project FA Cup game 4 days later which we went on to win 4-2 in one of our more impressive performances of the era so this Sheffield U game was a real outlier in what was otherwise a really positive period. Im actually surprised to see that the starting XI was that strong as from memory we'd kept several players back in prep for that Man C game but looks as though it was just Edinburgh (for Van Den Hauwe) and Ruddock (for Cundy).

One of the worst feelings i have had walking out of a game was our cup final defeat by Coventry, we never turned up for the game and none of our players put a shift in. We could not even get the shirts right.
We had played well that season and Allen was magic but we were so poor. It was our first defeat in a FA Cup final and what was worse it was the end of a player who imo was the best i have seen in a Spurs shirt.

Oh my this brought up nightmares. I recall playing a season on PES to help my mind combat this. This thread is dangerous.

So was I...I stayed to the end...by that point we (the fans) were just entertaining ourselves, as what we were witnessing was so bleak.
I was on my way to Manchester for the Sunday game....when everything was glorious again.

Think we were all (players included) still revelling in the glory of having won at Emirates Marketing Project 3 days beforehand. Ben Alnwick randomly started in goal and chucked a couple in (just as he had in in his only other appearance for us...also at Burnley in the 2009 LC SF). We actually went into that Burnley game with an outside chance of finishing 3rd above Woolwich - we had to win and hope they would lose at home to Fulham (they won convincingly in the end).
From memory there have been 7 occasions in my lifetime that we've gone into final game of season to avoid a St Totteringham's......
We got the results in 1990 and 2019 but went for them in 2006 (lasagnegate), 2010 (the aforementioned), 2012 (mind the gap/Chelsea CL season), 2013 (Ghost Goal at Saudi Sportswashing Machine) and most famously 2016 (Saudi Sportswashing Machine).

Sat and watched this game in Stockholm in O'Learys on my own as all my colleagues had flown elsewhere for the weekend. Booked a 4 person booth and waded through 3 pitchers of beer. Kept explaining to the waitress my "friends" are coming shortly as they needed the 4 seater table.
Was very tinkled by half time and annoying most of the bar telling them all Tottenham are the greatest team the world has ever seen.
Managed to finish a fourth pitcher before making a hasty exit at the final whistle.
MOST EMBARRASSING GAME EVER
