This day three weeks we could either be 11th in the league, in to the next round of the FA Cup and Europa League, and in a League Cup final or we could be out of all the cups and 16th in the league. We’ve been in worse positions than this in my lifetime. Perhaps we should close the forums until after the Villa game ;)
 
Just spent 250 quid on a) £100 two tickets for Leicester (one is a kids bit obviously charged full price) and a single for £150 Liv away (x5 face value) :levylol:

My 2nd season following Spurs was the first time I experienced the type of vibe we are currently on.

78/79

Burkinshaw was up and down that season. Woolwich hit us for 5 and Liverpool lumped us 7-0. We rode it out and it turned out lovely by the time Keith quit in 84.

The next period I didn't enjoy was 87 / 88 under Venables. I have stated before how I feel Venables set up problems for Spurs further down the road, in the early 90's, due to the team / squad he built / dismantled during this period.

93/94 was a nightmare after the promise of 92/93. Oldham away was the low point that turned out to be a high point.

95 - 04 was the decade of despair but Spurs still manged to win a League Cup in 99 and a few semi finals and finals along the way. The Gross year was the all time low. Paulo Tramezanni's debut, away at Wimbledon, was my own personal low point.

Since 04 the lows for me were Juande Ramos, post League Cup win, AVB after Harry and everything since Poch was sacked.

This has been coming for 5 years.

You poor sod, you've had to endure about a third longer of this guff than I. I feel like you should release a book, something like this....

40+ years of misery, self delusion & despair.

I've been at it for 47.5 years now. ENIC have been here for approaching 24 years; which is virtually the half way stage of my unique Spurs journey.

77 - 01 my eyes saw the glory of 81, 82, 84, 91 & 99.

They also saw cup final defeats, in 82 & 87.
cup semi final defeats in 82, 87, 92 93,95 & 99.

01 -25 my eyes have seen the ENIC glory of 08.

They have also seen cup final defeats in 02, 09, 15, 19 & 21.
cup semi final defeats in 01, 07, 19, 22,

Tells you everything.

Went to my first game in Nov 1977 for my 6th birthday.

Been on exactly the same journey as you. We must be fucking mental.
