We don't have winners in our team. We sign prospects not proven winners so we will always lack that winning mentality. We go behind against a big team and the game is up

We're better off than we were five years ago. Or fours years ago. Or three.

We'll struggle to get a back 4 as good as that again...
People dropping Sanchez is just beyond me, his speed and reading of the game alone has saved us countless times this season
It's what being a Spurs fan is all about!!
Why in the fuck are they showing Woolwich highlights on a spurs game?
Is this a joke?
Is this a joke?
Whisper this, but there is one person who needs to shoulder a fair bit of the blame here...
ochsulk:
You must have missed us bossing Madrid, outplaying Juve, beating Woolwich, Utd and Chelsea. Not to mention comfortably in the top 4 despite no home this season. Easily done.
I think Poch was right to play Vorm, but I would've definitely played Toby in a back three.
Kane is still not 100% and Dembele took a knock early on which lost us the midfield.
The difference between us and the likes of Manure, Scum, Chavski and the Dippers is they spend big money on proven match winners, and have managers who know how to get a result in big games - especially domestically. It hurts, but we are on the right path, and I'd take this over mid table obscurity any day. COYS. TTID.

Absolutely brilliant post.
Love the bit about the we go again attitude. The kind of attitude thats held this club back for years. From the man at the top to the fan at the bottom
We should be hurt, angry and fucking embarressed by todays showing.
The first 20 minutes we showed how talented we are and man for man we are better than almost every team we face.
The next 70 we showed we are weak mentally as a squad when the going gets tough.
If any game could sum up what’s it like being a spurs fan it was that one.
Absolutely heartbroken again.

No fucking urgency at any point. Last year was disappointing as we gave it everything. this year dogshit after they scored. Becoming masters of the 'to me to you to me back to you' passing game
Fucking frustrating. 5 mins added time and still playing slowly. 10 passes and still not crossed in. We cannot play against the lesser teams or the master or anti football José. Cannot keep moving thr ball slowly and not going for the killer thru ball when we can see someone making the run in behind. All too easy and slow. Our start was exactly the opposite. But when it matters we fold if the other team score against the run of play. We can never get back in it after that. Also disappointed in poch. Wanyama for dembele at 2-1 down???? Get llorene and lamela on. Something that might possibly change the game.

I don’t need the insults or being called a problem, you know I don’t get involved in the handbags so you can lay off it
I am one of the most positive on here I genuinely thought we would win 2-0 today, it hurts, I just quickly look at big picture, champions league regular semi finals, we are in a spot where we are competing with the best, would love to win something to put a bow on it but let me ask you, did you prefer the times under Jol or the trophy under Ramos or George Graham?
I am loving the fact we compete every week with these rich clubs and cunts like Liverpool who dispise us being up there with them
I remember cheering when we came back to only lose 3-2 to Charlton, years in Paxton seeing a right mess, so if me enjoying where we are now is a problem then yes I am
Right. Caught up as best I can.
For me, the hyteria reflects just how much we wanted/expected in some ways to win this match. We have no God given right given to win any match - let alone an FA Cup semi final against Manchester United.
It fucking sucks. We’re all hurting. But I cannot shake a ‘baby out with the bathwater’ feeling about people melting down over this result. Fucking hell. Get a grip. In our season away from Tottenham, top 4 (and nothing else, unfortunately) is not a bad innings.
Quite frankly, I’m proud that the quality of our team means we are this disappointed from the match. Time was that we’d have just seen it as being par for the course.
It’s all a gradual progress. Big teams collect trophies like the FA Cup because it ends up being a routine for them (or sometimes, they have jammy fixtures). We’re getting there.

Ask him if beating West Ham gave them 15 points, because thats what they would have needed to go above us today
