***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur FC v Everton, Sun May 24th, 4.00pm, The Lane***

I don't post much but in 60 years of being Spurs I have not felt such anxiety. Even 1977 didn't phase me much.
Being in the Dominican Republic the game starts for me at 11am and I shall watch alone at home.
I am also contemplating to have a concrete block with a rope attached to attach to my leg and jump in the deep end of my pool should the worst happen.
My only other quantum of solace is that there are no nearby goons or anyone to gloat. Any pain will be mine to endure in solitude (and on here)

Take a trip to Sosua to relax a little

Imagine going 2 or 3 goals up. What joy and merriment would ensue in yonder hostelry across the adjacent thoroughfare.

I remember a final day game back in the 90's (92 iirc) against Everton, we were 3 up at 1/2 time, ended up drawing 3-3, so even if we go 3 up I won't be sitting comfortably!

Edit was last home game that season, rather than last game - Tottenham v Everton 1992

Welcome to the forum as a poster.
I love to hear of our fans who suffer with us from far and wide. Keep on posting.

Very good to hear from you; I hope we start to hear lots more!

Got it on the anxiety, and am completely with you.

I’m not going to the game now, partly to do with logistical difficulties, but I may have been able to find a way around those if I’d really tried.

There is a large part of me that is happy to watch this at home, with one of my Spurs supporting daughters, with the ability to take a few minutes out in the garden, or to go walk the dog if it’s all going to s hit.

I can’t wait for the agony to be over tbh. Been awake at 5.00am every morning this week. Keep telling myself it’s only a game but… 🤦‍♂️😂

I hate the “journey” metaphor so I apologise in advance for using it.

People always say that life is about the journey, not the destination. The enjoyment is about getting there.

The opposite is true. This last few months have been terrible. This week, since Chelsea, has been pretty much relentless, worsening stress and worry. I know, to quote Klopp, that football is the most important of the unimportant things but it plays a huge role in our lives. I hope that, if we go down, relegation is something we just accept and deal with and it’s not a continuation of the last few months.

Boethius - Consolation of Philosophy. Amsterdam and the UEFA cup win were sweeter because we'd lived through Sugar, Gross and Graham. Our successes in a decade time will be sweeter because we've lived through Nepos, Frank and Mourinho
