Before I go into total meltdown mode I need to be as optimistic as possible lest I murder the next person I see.
A taste of a cup final and a loss means that our players are developing a hunger. Naturally I wanted a win but how often do we see one hit wonders or the promising fizzle out because they progress too quickly? Things were falling on our plate. If everything had happened in the first season, what more is there to gain? Maybe I'm just trying to rationalize the outcome of the game. But I honestly believe that sometimes to go forward you must first take a step back.
Let's look on the bright side. We have a great manager who has brought us this far and is instilling a 'never fucking give up attitude.' We have young player who are hungry for silverware. One of the most promising strikers in the world (I know. Maybe jumping the gun) and definitely one of our best players has openly said that he only wants to play for Spurs. He is Tottenham til he dies. The academy is so productive. Everything from here is positive. The future is bright. It's lily white.
At the beginning of the season I personally and many of my mates thought we'd be placing 7th with a decent Europa showing. This season and cup run have blown away my meager expectations and I am impressed.
That's not to say things couldn't have gone better. Potch could have rested players on Thursday. Potch could have started Lamela or Fazio or subbed walker and half. I'm not too pleased with the subs.

enic could have done more in the transfer window. It hurts to see silverware slip from our metaphorical fingers. Hopefully (and I so very honestly believe this) we will have many more opportunities in the near future.
Last year and even the year before I would say I support sues when asked. I wouldn't volunteer the information. I was who I was behind closed doors. Now I can't fuckin g shut up about Spurs. It's eriksen this, lloris that, and Harry fucking kane. Last season I trudged through conversation about football but this season has been such a step up from the last that I am proud to be tottenham til I die.
Ok perfect. I've gotten rid of all that positivity. Now where's my shiv? I'm gonna teach costa that it's not always the defence that is full of holes.
Tl;dr I'm positive. Now I'm gonna stab a bitch
