You would think we were the only team ever to get injuries.
I'd like to see barca without Messi xavi iniesta and that.
You're all talk. You rabbit on about being fucking spursy, you're as melty as the rest of the mugs.

You didn't get it at the time meltdown, it doesn't surprise me you are still missing the point.
Seriously if you are going to spend your life arguing on the web...you need to grow a brain.
I pity you.

I've always believed in a philosophy of "cheer when we're winning, cheer louder when we aren't"
Moaning about how shit someone is does nothing, does it?
To be honest 'melt' is kind of my word-of-the-day so it was more of a case of using it for the sake of using it. But it does get a bit tiresome when a result doesn't go our way and certain people go apoplectic and spout all sorts of nonsense about our players.
Personally (and I know this isn't the case with everyone) if I feel a player has been poor, I'll say so, I may even allow my annoyance to show by excessive swearing, but for the sake of coming across as someone reasonably intelligent, I'll do it in a reasoned and structured manner, I wouldn't ever assume to know a players' innermost thoughts, what their motivation is, or just slander them for the sake of having something to say, because it's at this point you* become a melt.
(*not you specifically Raitei )
Yeah this club doesn't need fans who crave success, this club doesn't need fans who want the team to give a 100% (everyone), this club doesn't need fans who call out shit overpayed cash whores who play in strike yet can't hit the target with a fucking penalty, yes indeed this club doesn't need these kind of fans.
This club needs fans who use the term 'spursy', this club needs fans who are willing to accept 40% effort, this club needs fans who don't desire progress, this club needs fans who make 'mind the gap' threads only for them to backfire spectacularly making us all look like tits, this club needs fans who thinks beating Woolwich one game a season is a trophy, this club needs more fans like you....
You really dont get it do you?It's not about losing to them hell it's not even the fact that Adebayor is a disgrace it's the fact people seem to think this sort of loss is a good thing and something to be proud of.
On the whole quote business, let's not forget that Bill once also said:
I rest my case.
Yep, tell that to the 'I love ENIC' brigade
One Lge Cup in 13 years, our worst trophy haul for over 60 years. Billy Nick would not be happy with that I suspect.
It's not about being proud that we lost. Or proud of a glorious defeat.
The fact is, lloris, Kaboul, BAE, sandro, bale, Lennon and Defoe all didn't play. That's 7 first team players. Everyone else had written us off.
Basil arent mugs, they made us look silly at white hart lane at times, Tottenham teams of old would of lost 5-0 the way they played last week.
So the fact that a borderline reserve team came a couple of shitty penalties away from going through.. Even after going down to ten men. Should be something to feel optimistic about.
The futures bright. The futures lilywhite.
What Tottenham teams of old would have lost 5-0 at home to Basel.
We didn't even lose a home game in Europe till the mid 80s and than that was 1-0 to Real Madrid. We used to be one of the most formidable fortresses in Europe in the old days. It's the modern teams that are letting us down in Europe I'm afraid. Partly because our current crowd, where even the Swiss completely outsing us over the two legs. In the 60s 70s and early 80s away teams never outsang us at the Lane. That was one of the many reasons we never lost, let alone 5-0. I'd love to know where you've got that idea from.
AFAIK even since our heyday, even the more modern teams haven't even lost by 4 at home in Europe let alone 5. From memory, I think our worst is losing by two, but may be wrong. (Inter Toto doesn't count BTW
I'm not at all optimistic that we lost an eminently winnable tie, and once again we were let down by a modern team, not the Tottenham of old who I would have backed to win the tie no danger.
No semi-finals in nearly 30 years that's what the modern era has left us. The old Tottenham used to win European trophies and get to semi-finals fairly regularly.
