I’ve done this before - notably the City league cup final in 2021, it was Covid so I just did gardening instead.
Can’t do it for this one, we have a genuine chance of winning this one
I am sick of watching us not turn up for finals, or just lose them regardless of how we perform. It's happened for so many years now, i include semi finals in that.
And we are having to play another English club just like in the CL final which just makes it worse.
On top of that we are managed by a fucking imbecile, and the team is utter shit.
I'm dreading the final. I know it might sound crazy, but I just can't be fucked with the shredded nerves. The CL final scarred me for life.
I say all this, but my mate wants to go out and watch it or come to mine, and I'm going to struggle to get out of that, so I might end up watching it with him.
I don't know. I'll decide on the day, it sounds mental but it really is 50/50 if I just record it and check the score after. I can't be dealing with another final loss.
As I say, I'm completely disengaged with Spurs at the moment, have barely been watching the games. Trust me if we win I'll be running around naked. it won't matter if I watched the game or not lol.
Same.
Just can't face losing again. I want us to win so badly it hurts.
Don't think my blood pressure can handle a tight nervy game. Will have to turn my phone off as mates will keep messaging me during the game.
I think I'd find it more stressful not being able to watch it

There's anger in Bilbao over the treatment our fans received in Manchester.
If we add to this the refereeing in both matches, Bilbao goes with Tottenham.
Good luck
I did it for that game as well but i fucked up by having my spurs shirt on.
Walked around the block without looking at my phone until I saw some gooner cunt saying we've bottled it again. I legit felt like testing his jawline.
They just can’t help themselves, can they?Exactly Right
Tottenham: Ange Postecoglou says Spurs can't afford more injuries before Europa League final
Ange Postecoglou says Tottenham's injury problems are so great he must rest players for the trip to Aston Villa as he "can't afford to lose another" before the Europa League final.www.bbc.com
Spurs can't risk more injuries now - Postecoglou
Ange Postecoglou has signalled he will rest key players when Tottenham play Aston Villa on Friday as he "can't afford to lose another" to injury with the Europa League final less than a week away.
Midfielder Dejan Kulusevski has become the latest first-team regular to suffer an injury that will rule him out of Wednesday's final in Bilbao against Manchester United.
Fellow midfielders Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison are both also set to miss the final, while defender Radu Dragusin is a long-term injury absentee after suffering a serious knee injury in February.
Head coach Postecoglou rested several players against Crystal Palace last weekend.
Plans to field his strongest side against Villa to "sharpen up" for the Bilbao trip may now have to be scrapped.
"The reality of our existence at the moment is we can't lose another player to an injury," Postecoglou said. "It's just too finely balanced for us considering what's at stake.
"Look, in a normal world you use this to be sharpening up, but we're not living in a normal world.
"Even with the best planning we're still getting hit with these setbacks. From my perspective I've got to take that into account when considering the [Aston Villa] game."
He may take the opportunity to try new combinations in midfield.
"We've always had to try to find creative ways to cover the absences we've had and we'll find a way to do that again," Postecoglou said.
"There's obviously a few players who will play [on Friday] who haven't played regularly or a lot lately who will get an opportunity."
Spurs are 17th in the Premier League table - one place above the relegation zone but out of danger, and one behind United in 16th.
Both Europa League final sides have endured dismal domestic league campaigns but the winner next Wednesday will qualify for next season's Champions League.
Tottenham have not won a trophy since lifting the League Cup in 2008.
Fair enough but I decided to go to Edmonton, stay the night and watch it in a pub in Tottenham!
(I may have a few!)
Mrs B won’t come and thinks I’m crackers (no change there!)
What is the point in supporting a football team if you are doing this? Next Wednesday is what it’s all about
So many great scenes.
When they come together for the first time as a team for the first time…

I thought about doing similar. I don’t know if can face it.
I’m genuinely concerned my heart won’t be able to take it.
Coz people want to win so badly it’s a crippling pain.
Care too much, that’s the thing.
It’s completely understandable.
If you can't watch your team play in a final despite all the BS this club has put you through then my friend I think it's time to call the samariitans, respectfully.
Fair enough but then what if we win?
Like imagine not watching Mouras hatrick live because you were walking the dog in an empty park! Football is all about moments and experiencing them, good or bad.
I get that.
Just saying I can completely see why ppl don’t want to put themselves through it.
For every amazing moment like the Ajax comeback, we’ve been burned about a hundred times.
That hat trick was one of the most amazing moments in my 64 years supporting us!
I’ve seen a few but that stands up with the best and I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!
Yeah I am thinking about a walk too. Only issue is my Spurs supporting mate has text me asking what I am doing for it. And I can't really say I'm not watching it as he knows I rarely miss a game. So am a bit stuck haha
Or when he visits him in the hospital and he says "are you blind? that's my brother"So many great scenes.
When they come together for the first time as a team for the first time…
