Anyone else feel fucking miserable. Don’t feel like I can face the world today. Might just stay in bed and mope
Yes.
Never participated in the 80s,but thinking of taking up glue sniffing. And smashing up trains...
Hugo's remarks, whilst honest are going to do fuck all to improve our season.
It was a repeat of the NLD,we only started playing when it was too late. Now if we had killed the tie at home,we'd all be having little chuckle,and say "god ,what are we like".But we didn't and we are not. We have fucked up royally. This is going to have major implications on us and our progress as a club.
Sorry for being such a miserable git,but I really feel this has screwed us. And certain favourites won't be with us next season.
 
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:


If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Sort of. But there's an acceptance that we're in the dog mire right now and something will change soon.

I took a lot of stick last night in my son's football parents What'sApp group. At times like this I try to remember it's 'only football'.

It's not easy, but chin up, brighter days are coming.

What can you do when you are beaten by some absolutely top shelf goals.

Two years ago, we were eliminated by Benfica. Won the first leg 1-0 at home, down 1-0 in extra time of the return leg before copping two goal of the year contenders. Whats worse is that we missed an open goal from 3 yards to make it 2-1!!

There's nothing more heartbreaking than being eliminated in a tight Euro tie. Dinamo fans know this more than most.

You'll be fine.

Actually no. After 50+ years supporting this lot and always feeling pissed off when we lose (I still haven’t replied to my Gooner mate’s message from Sunday), at FT last night I just turned it off and watched the last episode of “Your Honor”without a second thought. We deserved nothing and got nothing, and the result was almost inevitable once they scored their first. I didn’t even swear at the TV every time we did something pathetic or they scored. So I’ve decided to act like the players and not give a shit for the rest of the season*

*probably until Sunday.

We were beaten because the players jacked it in and played shit. No heart, fight or bottle.

Sorry but we beat ourselves. And until there’s big changes, we most certainly won’t be fine.

Oh go away
 
I don't post much but need to get this off my chest.

I think the biggest fuck up in recent times was when dembele was sold half way through the season, he was key and a massive reason we both made it to, and failed to show up in the champions league final. This is when there was no denying Levy's balance sheet over football mentality. We'd seen it before under his failure to back redknapp but this cemented it.

Fair enough football is a business and we have a great training facility, one of the best stadiums in the world and a fancy Nike sponsor but it's just an embarrassment of riches at the moment.

The happiest I've ever been with spurs was under redknapp, bonkers score lines. We'd concede three but score five. Thrilling stuff. Amazing nights in the pub. When it looked like he was just about to kill it, he got skanked in the transfer market by levy. The proudest I've ever been was under pochettino, he did so much and so quickly and with so much class and affection. His remit was to get us into the champions League in five years time. He did it five out of five. Levy then skanked him in the transfer market. Then along comes Jose who despite his record, everyone can see a mile off he's both devisive and usually short-lived with embarrassing fallout at the end but there's levy chucking millions at him like he's in a strip club.

I love this club. I've supported spurs since the early nineties when I got in to football as my dad and brother are spurs fans. Apart from redknapp and poch eras, it's not been easy. Until poch it was usually one talisman in a bang average side. He crafted a team. Redknapp similar, despite very different methods: 'i just told him to get out there and run about a bit.'

We see to dare is to do everywhere but the fact is levy isn't about daring, glory or football. He came off like a snake in the documentary and it doesn't take long to research and find out he's only in football to make money.

I mean fine, you have Mike Ashley at Newcastle as an example of how bad things could be and in comparison levy ain't soooo bad.

However, I was a courier for ten years up until a few years ago so I know what it feels and looks like to work for a company with incompetant management that's always trying to pull your pants down while expecting the best out of you but really just looking to make a quick few quid. This is how Levy's reign at spurs feels.

Change my mind. PLEASE. I love this club and can't support anyone else. I just feel like it's history repeating again and again and I don't want to see it again. I've never been so close to giving up on 'modern football,' and supporting Leyton Orient or the hipsters on Hackney Marshes. I feel dirty typing that but didn't someone very clever say something like, 'idiocy is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results? '

With football you never really know what's going on behind closed doors but I do have a pretty good idea what's like to bang my head against a brick wall.

I genuinely don't think I could take seeing Harry Kane in a Man United but at the same time I couldn't blame him.

*Insert arnie as terminator going into the lava giving it the thumbs up gif*

I'm a mess right now.

Edit for reality check: yes redknapp had his head turned by all the talk of the England job and Pochettino made a fucking huge mistake talking openly about leaving if he won the champions league before the final.

I agree with every word.
You should post more often.
 
Literally no hope, right from the first whistle to the bitter end of extra time. That was the most depressing game of football I've watched for a very long time.

Oh well. I should'a knowed it.

COYS!
