If I scored the opener at Wembley for spurs in a semi final I’d probably end up arrested for streaking
it's why we're 4th, we're not consistent enough throughout the season to be any higher. If the collective don't show up then we're screwed... The weekend for me highlighted our lack of pace and desire to catch teams on the break. We are slow in build-up and allow ALL the opposition behind the ball which makes it sometimes impossible to breakdown without a piece of luck or brilliance. In years gone past we had speed to hurt players on the break but building from the back seems to be chocking us at times. I'm no coach so don't know the answer. Possession is fine but pointless if we're unable to do anything about it. City are lightning on the break and transition, so direct... too many sideways and back passes for my liking

It’s really troubling seeing it written out like that. Helps explain why each knockout has been so bloody painful. Am I right in thinking that we rarely piss away leads in the league? Why do we struggle in cups so damn much??
We've only dropped points in two games from winning positions in the league. The draws vs Burnley and Brighton. It's definitely a mentality issue in the cups, the team play with more fear when the momentum shifts against us.
IIRC, someone (I think it was
kingdawson
) suggested we held off brining Kane back for a recent game (Stoke?) so that he had a bit more time to recover. Not sure it was a universally popular opinion, but the right one with the benefit go hindsight.Depressing as it is this did make me laugh
Wowwwww we really are the laughing stock of football these days!Depressing as it is this did make me laugh
What a shoddy shower of shit the rest of the league must be, 'cos until about 6.30pm on Saturday (when man utd scored their 2nd, and APPARENTLY it was game over) we'd been arguably the 2nd/3rd best team in the league...
And WE'RE HILARIOUSLY SHIT apparently.
FUCK I hate how smug our Cuntry is sometimes... only too happy to jump on the bandwagon and gloat at something you know is infinitely better than the shower of negative shit you support...
But don't let us stop you in your moment of glory by mocking us!
They say one thing worse than a bad loser is a bad winner...
Well fuck that shit... I've tried being 'magnanimous' in defeat too many times, and yes, I MAY have lost my shit occasionally...
But every opposing fan seems to be SO happy and quick to club togethger in joyous celebration every time we lose a big game...
So Fuck em all..., when we DO finally win a trophy, I'm gonna be a right Cunt!
You can think whatever but the underlining fact is we lost 3 cup ties from winning positions, to add 8 consecutive FA cup semifinals. We have excellent players and fans expect.
Let’s see if Liverpool get the same treatment if knocked out the CL.Depressing as it is this did make me laugh
Doubt it.
We literally say this every single year....
How the fuck did that make you laugh??Depressing as it is this did make me laugh
Agreed.
Just to point out that at the moment Klippty Klopp has won fuck all but still gets a reach around and somehow it’s us who are shit, for losing a Semi ( a stage that both City and Liverpool failed to reach ) Yeah ok !!
I must've been the ONLY Spurs fan inside Wembley who just 'sensed we'd win'
...pre-match, you could just feel it in the air... we HAD this... FINALLY! Despite what History was SCREAMING at us... I wasnt listening to any of it... THIS time would be OUR time!
Well so much for fucking feelings...
I'm glad I kept the receipt on that 'lucky' Rabbit's foot! Fuck FOOTBALL!
* interesting fact; FOTZE is a VERY bad word in German! Coincidence? I don't think so...

Maybe if Poch grew another set of TEETH and started wearing glasses... and listened to Rock music a bit more... he might get the respect of the Media!
As it is, he's clearly not hipster enough... or doesn't lose his total shit on the touchline and SCREEEEEAM in the 4th officials' face when we aren't awarded a corner...
THAT'S what gets you respect apparently!
Imagine Klopp dealing with the snidey time wasting tactics Jose was employing at Wembley on SATURDAY?
They'd have had to pick up his eyeballs and gurning teeth from the OTHER SIDE OF THE FUCKING PITCH he'd have been straining so much!
But as it is... let's all laugh at calm, good loser Poch.... and speech impaired Kane.
Jeesus, he claimed ONE GOAL when maybe he shoulda just left it alone... and now he's public enemy #1...
But he's A MUCH easier target than anyone at protected mega rich clubs!
You'd have thought Kane had climbed on top of Kate Middleton and tried to fuck the baby back up her, whilst taking a shit on her legs and claiming "St. George's Day was really St. Harry's Day" Live on the BBC the way the Media are hounding and ridiculing him!
#toosoon?? Tough!
Just burst into a chorus of "we support our local team" or "you only live round the corner" in the middle of the office. That'll teach em.
How anyone else in you doesn’t see you as a Troll is beyond meDepressing as it is this did make me laugh
Because I know how to laugh at myself/ club and because I’m not a precious perpetually offended sole. Some of the memes I have seen today are quite humorous, they are nothing to get worked up by.
