My son lives more than a hundred miles from me (not very far for you USA or Oz fans) but Saturday/Sunday after the game the call is the highlight of my week. Deffo seen me through tough times.

Yes, definitely.
I was a very casual fan of Spurs throughout the latter days of my time in college, but graduating in '09 and going into that job market was really tough on me. I worked some dead-end jobs to help pay the bills while I lived in my parent's basement, and had almost nothing in my life. I suffered through some mild depression through that time and wasn't very happy with my life, because graduating with my background and education and then being dumped into a grueling blue-collar factory job living paycheck to paycheck and not making enough money to get out of there was a cold, hard reality check.
Then Spurs went into the Champion's League, and that incredible run really gave me something in my life to enjoy, and something to root for, again.

The day my mum died I thought the end of the world had come. It was absolutely dire. Then I watched Spurs play Sunderland. Whilst it didn't make the hurt disappear, for 90 minutes I sat in a pub in Ireland next door to the hospital, clutching a pint of Guinness & with a bunch of lads who were well into their football, regardless of who was playing. I actually saw that life goes on, & that game lifted my spirits beyond belief. I actually felt able to make the phone calls I had to make & deal with the arrangements. Perhaps it was the game, perhaps it was the Guinness, perhaps it was the company. Maybe all three. But yes, Spurs helped me through that day
Danny Rose scored that Screamer against the scum a few hours after my nan passed away.Still a hard day
Just remember

Really for me the same, a continue implosion of non achievement , dissatisfaction and pain.
Owned and run by the 2 of the ugliest micro dictators on the planet.
I wish I could walk away but it's in my blood.
Lucky me.
Nah, completely fucked my mental health up actually, oh and my social and school life. You guys (and some girls) on the other hand have been the best, cheers
That's when the big bucks start roooooolling in.
If you haven't watched Coming to America then sort it the fuck out....and watch it.
Sounds like my pre-match warm up in the Bricklayers outdoor loo.
I thought you enjoyed a good raping?
