On reflection I think we all seriously underestimated how badly Bayern Munich took the loss of the Audi Cup.

I remember losing 8-2to Derby & having a fight with my best mate coz he was taking the piss.
I was 8,I think.
Funnily enough,I don't feel that pissed off about this one. I should do,but I don't.
I think I'm going senile.

14 May 1977, was anyone there for the last game of the season at home vs Leicester?
Before my time, we won 2-0, but were relegated ...
I was there.
That was the one where after the game the fans invaded the pitch and wouldn't leave until the players came out and took and ovation.
The players were embarrassed as they had just been relegated but were eventually persuaded to. Pat Jennings said afterwards 'you would have thought we had just won the title, not just gone down'.
That was different class from us and one of the reasons I will ALWAYS be proud to call myself a Spurs fan.

Been up all night drinking coffee and reflecting on the match (and that's not being overly dramatic but perfectly true). Ruthless efficiency by the Germans. Have a feeling Poch didn't get much sleep either. Can't go on like this...worst competition defeat in the club's history. I always believed Poch might break a club record....but not in this way. Such a sad,sad morning.
Can hunt glory all we want, don’t mean we ever going to catch it! 
I was at Anfield too. Three mile walk from the station to the ground and another three mile walk after the game. 41 years and 1 month today.

I don't get why people think this is the worst or most painful loss in our history.
Have watched us draw in the league and felt worse than last night.
Yeah it's a lot to concede and the players gave up, but it is also a group game in the Champions League. It wasn't a do or die fixture. We didn't get knocked out. It wasn't against a club with a fan base I can't stand - wasn't an English club.
Before the game I was speaking about how under Martin Jol or prior to that time, the idea of playing Bayern Munich in the Champions League at our own 60,000 seat stadium was simply not on the radar. To be honest playing Inter, AC, Juve, Barca, Madrid, Bayern for example - these were just not teams I ever got to see us play against. I have my profile picture as a photo I took at Wembley in a moment of disbelief.. My Tottenham are 3-0 up against Real Madrid!!
(Also want to mention how stunned I was at the amount of 'fans' pouting, smiling, taking selfies after the final whistle. I can only assume they aren't Spurs - but there were hundreds of them.)
I would rather look at this game as a stunning wake up call. The Newcastle and Leicester defeats were by 1 goal in games we could have won - we rarely lose by more than 1 goal. Last night will have given the players a lot more to think about than those defeats - about themselves as well as the club.
City should have done this to us, and I would rather it were at the hands of Bayern to be honest.
Can see us going there and getting a result though. A hard fought point against their reserves that squeezes us through to the knock out round maybe,

Wrong team to support for Glory.

Yeah, i had blanked that from my memory. But at least back then you could get a form of retribution.
Me and the daughter stayed 'til the bitter end last night, but didn't clap or boo the team. Just left, in shock.
I understand the team didn't come and thank the crowd for their support. That hurts somewhat if I'm honest.
As you say the crowd were brilliant up to the point where it got embarrassing. We deserved better than that.
