We had good enough players this season. End of that one.

Not really.
I want Champions League football as a fan, but I'm not going anywhere else. Why shouldn't we hold them to the fat contract they signed and say, you want it then bloody well earn it?

Which available striker would you have gone for?
No they don't but if they have an attitude that suggest they feel they do via the media then suitable adjustment needs to made in whatever form the chairman decides is appropriate. Bale especially over the last few months has had an almost untouchable look about him and those stories that keep popping up about potentially wanting to leave if we aren't in the champions league cannot be just writers making it up.....it is being fed from somewhere.

im not paid millions to make that decision.....im sorry but its a disgrace that both Redknapp and Levy have ballsed up the striker search, its a disgrace
Open letter to spurs players for next year
Hi fellas,
I'm sure your hurting as much as us tonight. A long seasons battle which has seen us play some glorious football all now seemingly wasted after ultimately not qualifying for Europes premier competition.
I want you to remember a few things everytime you step out on that green turf next year wearing the proud ****erel crest.
-Chris Foy's inept performance
-The ref ruling out Ade's goal v United
-Ade's effort rule out v wolves
-Martin Fulops performance v arsenal
-Chelsea's incorrectly given goal in the semi final of the FA cup
-Napoli's implosion at stamford bridge
-Messi's penalty miss at the Nou Camp v Chelsea
-Drogba's late equaliser in the CL final
-Robbens penalty miss in the CL final
-The FA's decision to sack Capello
And look at ourselves:
-Inability to beat Norwich, Stoke,
-Wolves at home.
-Defoe's miss v city
-Kings challenge on balotelli
-Our dismal performance at arsenal
-Our failure to score at the Bridge.
-Our failure to beat an awful side in Villa
It hurts. The feeling of failure hurts.
Use it.
You have the power to make sure you don't feel that again. Everytime you step foot on that green turf, remember what that 1 point or penalty miss cost you.
Please do not end the season thinking we did well but were unlucky. Whilst its true, it will not help you get over this feeling of failure. We failed. Not you, but us, the club. We didn't achieve what we set out to achieve.
You have the opportunity to make sure you never experience it again. Keep it fresh in your minds next year and we too can celebrate as Chelsea and Emirates Marketing Project have done this year.
COME ON YOU SPURS,
Let's go win the fudging league next year!!!

Should clubs also be forcibly held to contracts, so that they aren't allowed to sell any of their players that they feel are no longer good enough? Should we not buy Vertonghen out of loyalty to Dawson or King?

I love watching Robben but is there a bigger bottler in world football? That one on one chance missed in the World Cup final was another catastrophic choke.

Les Ferdinand

The season cheats DID prosper, thugs bullied their way to victories and Rascists ended up as winners.
Before i expand, i just want to say i have followed Spurs since i was five years old when my dad took me to a reserve game and later a Pat Jennings testimonial, where me and my dad chatted to Glen Hoddle, just a young reserve about to break into the first team, must have been a full ten minutes and an autograph on the match programme, those were the days. Just want you to know i have been there ,done it ,wore the suit bla bla bla.
Anyway, regardless of tonights CL final result i had already decided that i was done with football. This is not knee-jerk, been thinking about this for months.
How can you have a sport where so much is wrong with it?
Everybody has been saying that this is the best season ever and maybe for excitement and unpredictability thats true.
For me, its been the worst season in history, both from a Tottenham point of view and also from a moral footballing point of view.
CHEATS
I have watched divers and phoneys attempt to bend the rules to their advantage almost at will.
Watched Didier Drogba(great player that he is) dive and cheat his way through games, the Barca games were embarrassing but there he is scoring the winning penalty for his team and collecting the CL as well as the fa cup after Mata fooled the ref into giving the ghost goal with his phoney celebrations.
John Terry and Ivanovich nobble anyone in their way, knees and forearm smashs at will.
Watch every Chelsea player foul by any means to stop the opposition and generally go unpunished. Some of the treatment the Barca players and the Bayern players received was disgraceful.
I have watched players surround and hassle refs and get decisions later on through applying psychological pressure, while my team played by the rules for the most part and got sweet FA! How many times were we 'Foyed' this season?
So much for the respect campaign and the fair play league(which we are normally near the top of), whats the point of it all? What does it mean? Whats the reward for playing clean and fair? Playing the best football is almost irrelevant.
The Ballotelli incident, was it cheating or thuggery or plain assault?
All i know is he was in retrospect found guilty and banned but he was still on the pitch to get the penalty and score the penalty that cost us the game and the point that cost us CL football. Don't forget it also cost Man Utd the league title, while he celebrated a PL title. You see, cheats and thugs do prosper.
RASCISTS
I dont really need to elaborate on this, just to say Luiz Suarez has a league cup winners medal and John Terry has two winners medals.
Has there been a more sickening sight than seeing him lift the CL trophy tonight?
UGLY FOOTBALL AND BAD LUCK
See, it's not just about us,although we have been adversely affected by many of these incidents.
It seems that football has lost this season, Chelsea somehow knocked out Barca despite being the vastly inferior team. We have missed out on CL despite largely playing by the rules.
Ugly football (in Chelseas case) has won this season. Thuggery has won. Defensive,awful football has won. Maybe corruption has won?
Fulop,Lasagne,Webb,Foy,Ghost goals, Goal line technology.......can all these things possibly go against us?
Are we jinxed or are their darker forces at work?
I mean, after missing out on CL because of dodgy lasagne the Arse went and lost the CL to Barca.We would have made it that year.
When we do get fourth, Chelsea win the thing! It had to be that way didn't it? Arsenal would have have won the CL if we had got fourth under Jol because that's just the way it is being a Spurs fan.
Chelsea were the luckiest and dirtiest winners of the CL i have ever seen. Basically one or two shots and one corner in both semis and the final.
How incredible is that?
For example in other sports you get what you deserve right? Baskeball for instance, you run up and put the ball in the basket, the best team nearly always wins.
Cricket, you score runs or you get out. If there is a doubt, then the review system corrects it(most times). 99% of the time the best team wins.
I have made up my mind, football isn't like that. The inferior team can win by luck, cheating, intimadation and yes, possibly corruption.
The rules just don't work, they allow for huge margins of error, no system to correct mistakes and constant fouls and cheating that goes unpunished.
MONEY
I think the next time an Arab or Oligarch buys a football team they should ask him and the club what year they would like to be given the title. Let them choose the year and give them the trophy. Everyone gets a year off, fans,players,managers. They will win it at some point, it's a formality just as Cheatski and Emirates Marketing Project have proven. So why not just give it to them and be done with it.
We in the UK, live in a society that (used to) encourage fair play and believed in cheering for the underdogs.
Unfortunately, these new generation owners don't do romance. They come from a place where money talks, corruption rules and there is no room for sentiment and dreamers.
How do you think Roman got where he is? Do you think he cares if he bought the CL?
Where he comes from it's a way of life.
Believe me, i have worked and lived all over the world.There would be no feelings of guilt or cheating if success was bought with wads of cash in brown paper bags.
The greatest game/sport there is, has become massively flawed.
As i said, its been a diabolical season for football and for my team Tottenham Hotspur.
I am not going to put anymore of my time or money into football.It's not the fault of my team, its football in general, it stinks from top to bottom.
Sorry for the rant, this season has just been too much. The football gods must have taken a year off, i think i will do the same.

Just thinking about the transfer window makes me shudder.

Maybe the ultimate irony of this season, the one which confirms Spurs as Spurs, is that in what everyone's calling one of the greatest, most exciting seasons ever we've been shafted and had one of our most disappointing and frustrating ones. It's so Spurs it's unreal.
