pressure is on, we collapse. same old.
started with the league cup final. when it really matters. its a bit too much for us.
you can not say this team is any different to spurs teams of old YET.
they have to prove they are different. so far they haven't.
the league will be a lot harder next season. I think we will do well to get top 4.
and that isn't to be scoffed at just because we got 3rd this season.
I don't want anyone turning their noses up at 4th next season!
So AVB still has our highest points total then. I stayed after Southampton and clapped the players round the pitch. Yesterday I felt no pride in our players. It just shows most of them could not give a fuck. I suppose it is a good reality check for us supporters, we have a long long way to go.
Like absolute clockwork, the minute we ''fail'' the same old characters arrive to wallow in the misery. Been suspiciously quiet all season then bang! post after post after post.
Transparent idiots.
On that note, see all you beautiful people in July. I'm gonna ''forget'' about Spurs until then and recharge the batteries. It's been a long old season. Plenty to look forward to next season.
COYS!
P.s. COME ON ENGLAND!

The narrative is already ready written, with our role in it determined as perpetual failures. This is set in the minds of the fans, the media, maybe even the players? How do we correct this? It's a difficult one. To have an adjective for "Failure" named after your club.
A lot was said about this young squad and their fearlessness, how their age rendered them immune to the the years of recurring disappointment. We as fans have to be responsible for perpetuating this belief, as we are the only aspect that remains consistent.
There are worse positions to be in by far, but we are so focussed on own predicament and how we have fallen short again that we fail to acknowledge the plight of others. Imagine being a Newcastle fan, relegated for the second time in ten years. Or Villa, Jesus, the years of bad management. Absolute clowns in charge.
Do these teams have a "why always us" mentality? It could be a lot worse and we need to remember that.
Either that or we are cursed by the gods.
Can't help you mate!
I'm 62 and definitely a moaning, spiteful old cunt!
As Nick Hornby once said supporting a team like Spurs is like staying in a bad marriage.
You know it's never going to work out but you hang around in the forlorn hope that it might!
And, like Royston Vasey, I can never leave!
I'm local........
..."Joe Clash" - lol - you're about as punk rock as Sam Smith...

Fair point and the players actually did put a shift in in the second half. Even at the end they were trying to score a consolation goal.
But we were only in the position of needing to rely on the ref not making a shit decision because we were "on holiday" in the first half. If we went out there and played our usual game we would have probably been 2-0 up by half time. The first half was the problem, effort wise, much more so than the second. In the second half the problem was more the Chadli sub and trying to play without a defence when there was still 15-20 minutes to go. If we had calmed down and kept our position we would have found an equaliser. I even fancied us at 3-1 to get a 3-3, but then Toby defends comically for their fourth goal and it's all over.
Haha true - brain says no, but heart says it damn well hopes for that too!.
The guy has just signed a 5 year deal and he will be fucking furious no doubt about that
The summer activity has just become a bit easier for him for those who may have shown heart and loyalty to cause but end of day just won't cut if for the Champions league and his aspirations for the club

it isn't the same set of players so it can't be the same or the result of repetitive and systematic failure
Only positive, that and Woolwich most likely keeping Wenger and not changing their team much now they got 2nd 'most likely.
I really reckon we could lose 6-7 and buy 5 players over the summer. Some players are either not up to the task or
Don't have the heart, if anything our team development will speed up.

posted this in the Rose thread.So apparently Rose went out on the piss with the Sunderland players on Wednesday night - missed his flight home and training on Thursday.......
I love this club blindly and also would follow it to the Champions League or the Conference. IMO slagging off the players is not the same thing as slagging off the club itself. You can be critical of the players, the manager, the chairmen all you like, it doesn't make you any less of a yid. Those people come and go, and they are mainly in it for their own gain, it is the fans that make up the club, combined with things like the area, the stadium, the culture (e.g. our way of playing football, the colours, the badge, the hatred of our rivals) and those players or managers who became legends due to their service to the club like Billy Nick.
