Is Winks likely to make it? Would be such a fucking bonus..
It could come back up, however.
I know the feeling, I almost dropped my 2 month old when the Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 86 years.
I sorta didn't want to post this, but fuck it, I'm going to anyway. 3 days before the City away match, my Dad got diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Understandably, I was distraught. I was in a very bad place. I was having some dark thoughts. Seeing as we've always bonded over football, we got together to watch it. I was thinking how awesome it would be if we went on to win this motherfucker. That night I realized that I don't have a Dad that's dying, I have a Dad who is very much alive. We bounced around the living room and we won in the last few minutes of a classic. One of my fondest memories, even though it was only a month ago. I decided I was gonna get to him for every big match so we could watch it and enjoy it together. At this point, he decided he was gonna postpone his chemotherapy until after a family trip to Menorca was over at the end of May. Obviously the home leg against Ajax didn't go as planned, which was a bit of a downer, but it wasn't the worst case scenario. Our get together today was still on. And holy shit, what a day it was. At half time, I was your typical melt, as you'd understand. My missus had the text messages to prove it. I was so depressed it was unbelievable. I'd hoped to have this glorious last football run with my Dad, and we'd fucked it. I decided to roll some spliffs. I'd given up and was watching the beginning of the second half on a stream on my phone in the garden, which wasn't the best and I was 2 minutes behind. Then I saw him run up to the window holdings up a single finger. Fuck yeah! Then he ran up holding up 2 fingers. What the fuck? I abandoned my smokes and ran inside. For the rest of the game, we were on the edge of our seats. We had all but given up and then.... A FUCKING LAST MINUTE WINNER! We both jumped up and sprinted around the entire downstairs area while Mum frantically tried to keep control. She failed miserably. Spurs gave me such a moment tonight and the date Dad put his chemotherapy off until? The day after we get home from holiday, which is the day of the Champions League Final. Come on Spurs, do it for me and the old man! I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get tickets to that motherfucker so we can stay in the Spanish region and witness it for ourselves in person. As unlikely as it may be, wish me luck people. It'd be priceless.
Soak up every minute of it together mate.
I'd love it if my dad was here for this. He'd have slept through most of the matches though lol
Nothing but the best to you both and the rest of the family!
You bastard. I'm blubbing like a baby, in the bath at nearly 1am drinking wine like some kind of Bridget Jones wannabe.
you're drunk, that is a mirror.
I think so yes, very minor op he had
Some beautiful posts on here tonight wow
Just noticed that we have been missing one or two of the 'regulars' on here tonight
Enjoy your time with your dad, the memories will be so precious.I sorta didn't want to post this, but fuck it, I'm going to anyway. 3 days before the City away match, my Dad got diagnosed with inoperable cancer.

I honestly can not believe it, SPURS ARE IN THE EUROPEAN CUP FINAL. Fuking amazing
A lesson to all of us as well. We should never try to bash a player for playing some bad games. The players that made the difference these games were Llorente, Lucas and Sissoko (among others). If one would say that last year, he would be put to the nearest asylum for the rest of his life. Trips has been a scapegoat here, I've bashed him as well for the smallests of things, but maybe, he will win us the Final. I doubt it, but anything can happen. We should cheer for every player that puts on our beautiful shirt.
I'll still take him.
brilliant.
