Doctor Tottenham..

The Doctor will see you now :)

Now we have some, erm, time to stew over the current topsy-turvy league season, it might be a good time to explore those demons we know that are represented by the Good Doctor.
This isn't for all and certainly not for the faint-hearted. But it might be good therapy for some of us lol

So what do you think are the top 3 visits form the Good Doctor?

I'll start:

1) Half-time at White Hart Lane when we were 3-0 up vs Emirates Marketing Project in the 4th round replay of the FA Cup in the 2003-04 seaon AND Man Ciy were down to ten men after a sending-off (i think it was Joey Barton?). We ended up losing the game 4-3 in an incredible second-half collapse.

2) Dinamo Zagreb beating us 3-0 and knocking us out of the Europa league in March 2021: we had a 2-0 first leg lead and their coach had literally just been sent to prison for fraud after the first leg.

3) Losing the FA Cup semi-final against Portsmouth 2-0 in 2010, a team that had just been or were on the verge of being relegated and who as a club had gone into administration.

Honorable mention for yesterday's Ipswich game but in reality (and if we're honest) that was almost half-expected and funnily enough the last home league game against them (over twenty years ago) went the same way and was in similar ("if we in we go top 2/3/4") circumstances...
 
Did anyone hear Majesic on Talkbrick this morning? He’s come up with a song “Dr Spurs”

You’ll annoy a few people with this thread mate.
 
Annoying term as is 'sexy' but as much as I hate it (particularly Spurs fans saying it), it is there for a reason and doesn't look like being rid of anytime soon.
All those games above fall into those categories, there must be dozens more.
I'd add the home game v Arsenal when Kane scored that curled effort in off the post and we'd have gone top with a win. Against 10 men we went from 2-1 to 2-2 and almost even lost it bar a great goal saving tackle from Kevin Wimmer.
This team/club!!! :rolleyes:

I don't consider any of those games as Dr. Tottenham results. That is, for me, is reserved for when we lose against teams that haven't won in ages, not won against us in xx years/games, not scored a goal in xx..., missing their entire starting XI etc, AND are teams we should comfortably beat.
 
With everything we have done in the past to fudge ourselves over and to embarrass us fans i feel if we were in the league on our own, we would still finish second.
We did finish 3rd in a two horse race, so yeah, you're probably right.

Well, Dr Tottenham does bring charity relief to those in need..
 
That Portsmouth game was flimflam, pretty sure a perfectly good Crouchy goal was ruled out, standard bias against tall skinny folk, the bastards. Whether it would have changed things I don't know and we'd have probably just roostered it up in the final anyways.

I think I drank about 12 pints of Guinness in a couple of hours in pure frustration borne out of that game, which didn't bode well for various systems the next morning....

Reminds me of the League Cup Final 2002 against Blackburn.

Mark Hughes could have had 8 yellow cards in his late career midfield role. He was just clattering our players, with the ref doing absolutely nothing.

Then there was good old Les Ferdinand.
