Exactly. You only missed social media and the cunts that infest it and you would have had Bingo.
No. It’s not.
I think losing a CL final was pure shite for my soul.
I had real hope and expectations that night. Think it fucked the squad up a bit too.
This season all a bit meh. No fans. A dickhead manager.
Worst case scenario we might even make a profit!!

This is me in a nut shell I even said so. Never belived what I was watching was sustainable and was a bit supprised it lasted as long as it did.
I’m always hopeful and will be watching on Sunday when Harry is on the bench with Dier and Winks and Son
Scarlett up front with Lucas
Rodon CB
And
N’Dombele running the show taking on oxygen every ten minutes
You are right the 90's were far worse. I used to cheer very year we got to 40 points )still do to be honest) but I didn't expect any more, perhaps the odd cup run.
Its the sense of the collapse now that has got to me, from competing in the PL and CL to potentially losing some of our best recent players.
We have been in this position many times before and we will turn it around eventually (who knows it might happen this summer). I just don't want to return to mid table mediocrity waiting for a scrappy draw at home to Woolwich to claim some sort of bragging rights.
Club feels rudderless at the moment.
Don't know why but this feels worse.
Maybe it's because of being competitive recently.
But I think that the main reason is that the players seem to rule in the club but not try on the pitch.
Dier says he must play CH
DELE just sulks
Bale doesn't seem bothered
Besides this We don't seem to be able to pick the right team

This captures it exactly right. Sure, there were objectively worse years and eras. But to fall from where we were in the final of the champions league to now just feels like the spursiest spursiness in the history of spursy, and I goddamn hate that concept, and I believed we were finally putting it to bed. Fool.
I voted no before reading the introductory post. Then switched to yes.
Fucking hell its been a horrendous 6 months. Hard to believe 6 months ago we were in the thick of the title hunt....then Jose tried to be Billy Big Bollocks, like a few on this forum implored him to, and refused to rotate the squad in December. From that moment forward its just been one giant clusterfuck.
At least I was right.
Depends on your definition of "modern history" if you say last fifty years then not even close ... 1976/77 clearly massively worse .... as were most of the 90's and early 00's from 1991 to 2004 we failed to finish higher than 7th ....
If you say the last decade then arguably yes, even then a cup final makes it not a total disaster, the issue of course is expectation versus reality .... we all expected better so we are all disappointed, but if you look at it purely by numbers it was just an average season. Of course football is more than just the numbers ... empty ground, nightmare manager, terrible performances when it mattered ... on that basis it was a shocker, lose tomorrow and finish below Woolwich will sum it all up very nicely ... a year to forget.

Yes, but during COVID with no fans in the stadium for basically a year and a half? Makes me feel like it’s almost surreal or somehow just doesn’t count.
now let’s see if we’re this bad next season when things will hopefully be more normal, but while this was bad, everything is so off this last year it seems to not matter as much.

Add in the fact that in amongst the gloom have been spikes of really good stuff where you think "excellent we're getting our act together" and then follow it up with another shitshow.

One thing that won't be worse next season is that we won't have such a smug, egotistical dinosaur prick as our manager. That's one thing to look forward to
Every week this year the main crumbs of hope seem to come BEFORE we play. Teams around us lose or draw and I think 'Right! This is our chance!' And then we play OUR game and foul it all up.
For me this is the worst season since the 2003/4 David Pleat caretaker season.
That 4-3 FA Cup defeat to Man City literally broke me at the time.

That 94/95 Klinsmann season was one of my favourite at the time and I had a great time.
We finished 7th and lost a semi final 4-1!
