Re: Signing you were most excited about but was actually shi
I always remember around the time Postiga joined I was listening to a Talksport phone in. We Spurs fans were all living in that horrible time of false dawns.
Always hoping the next season would be better than the last, before seeing all our hopes and dreams go pop in a puff of reality.
A Spurs fan called up and as I recall it went something like this:
'I just wanted to talk about us Spurs fans and how we spend every pre-season thinking the next one is going to be better.
This club is always letting us down, we're never going to be the team we were back in the 60s. I'm fed up of listening to all the optimistic Spurs fans banging on and then two games into the seasons it's here we go again.
We need to face facts, were never going to be good enough. We have our moments but we've got to stop living in the past'
There was various chat after this about all the disappointments over the years, lots of agreement from the host.
Then the real gem from the Spurs fan.
'Of course, now we've got Postiga we are making a statement. This season will be different because the Postman will deliver'
The 360 in that one call was beautiful and summed up being a fan at that time in a nutshell. Beautiful.
Of course Postiga could barely deliver a letter next door but then went on to score against England in the Euro's effectively knocking us out.
That was like watching a car crash in slow motion...
