i was there v leicester when we were relegated, we won 2-0 and from the reaction of the fans, you'd have thought we stayed up, pitch invasion, fans in the directers box waving flags and going mental, my how things have changed in football. i think the poorstmuff semi might have been the worst, and the win at citeh might have been one of the best because of that.
yesterday had an air of inevitability about it.
im constantly depressed and overjoyed, thats been spurs for the last 40 odd years.

I was there that day too. Depressed and sad we were relegated but never have i been more proud of my fellow spurs fans than on that day.
I remember being on the pitch with thousands of spurs fans, no one was going to leave untill the players appeared in the directors box, and when they did it was to the sound of "we'll support you evermore"

I agree with big les, this term we have failed to see out the job at the business end of the season. Mental strength has been lacking, and that should come from the manager, trouble is his head was turned. Far to many quotes from players earlier in the season about winning the league in my book. Management should manage and give far less "media soundbites" you don't see that coming from Old Trafford.

The Man U 3-5 and the City 4-3 are ones that make me cry thinking about them.

This, was at both of these and I just wanted to make people bleed after both games.

I have to say that as a long term feeling now hurts really bad. We had it in our grasp and it has all come tumbling down, that hurts.

It almost feels like both of those games but stretched out over the whole season.

Still, it's not all over. If we win the next four games we'll finish fourth. They're very winnable... It's the fucking hope that kills you..

That is why we love this club, I want us to do well, I hope we do well, but I love the shirt anyway.

My BEST memory this season is the Ultras game, it was like it used to be....fucking loved it.
 
I actually find it more depressing to think that the likes of Defoe, Jenas, Lennon & co. have all the bling and trappings that go with success but don't have the silverware/top four finishes to show they've earned it.

As far as our decline is concerned the depressing thing is that it was all too predictable. When we finished fourth two years ago it was enjoyable precisely because we didn't buckle and saw it through.
 
I know in perspecive, this season is not that bad- we'd have all been happy enough to be here at the beginning of the season.

But the last two months have been as depressing I can ever remember. when you consider what we have let go of, it's utterly criminal.

Whilst I would never fall out of love with Spurs, I'm losing interest and love of football altogether.

All this to finish fourth? It shouldn't be that way. I really hate what money/television Is doing to football, and it's getting to the stage where I might have to start following something I still consider sport.

I know this may be considered a flippant remark, and a bit of a knee jerk by some but I assure you this feeling has been brewing for a good few years now.
 
Losing to Blackburn in the League Cup Final....on my birthday sucked balls.

This is a different depression - one that makes me wonder why I bother.

Pretty depressing yesterday walking to the tube from the ground looking at the gurning cunts that are QPR fans, how could we give those egits that smile.

It was horrible, even on the tube it was horrible. It was horrible when I got home and its still fucking horrible.

Most depressing for me was the Pompey semi-final. I almost felt as bad last week as I did after that. Don't think I spoke all the way home (3 hours+ trip)
 
Pulling together the money to see Spurs play, then watch them be beaten by FUCKING NORWICH and to make it worse there was no atmosphere in the Shelf!
 
I think a one off game maybe the Everton FA Cup Semi Final at Elland Road in '95, fuck me that one still haunts me today.

As a whole, second half of this season is pretty much up there.

You're not alone. Despite my love of Spurs/football, I've been feeling an increasing sense of detachment from 'modern' footy for a few years now.

Many to choose from, but most depressing moment for me: losing the Carling Cup 1/4 final on pens against a Liverpool fucking reserve side at home. Kanoute handball in extra-time, etc. My old man and I didn't speak all the way home, plus I had to be at work 5 hours later. Felt awful.

I can never look look back on one single result and call it depressing, it tends to be periods and phases for me.

The only one off results that upset me are the ones that make me feel that football is no longer sporting.

I will never, ever get over the Roy Carroll incedent for example, still leaves a sour taste.
 
No moment is depressing when supporting our glorious side because We are Tottenham from the Lane :dawson: :rafaaaa:
what would be depressing is supporting that pikey lot from south London. :goonermong:

What am I saying the last 2 months or so when you look at it has been like having a loved one slowly die in front of you but your unable to do anything about it, you want to put them out of their misery to make the pain end but you can't. As always though theres a faint glimmer of hope that somehow we can come back from the jaws of perennial underachievement and grab that Holy Grail that is the Champions League which hopefully would propel from Sleeping Giant to Super Giant. :coys:

I wish the Champions League wasn't what everything relies on but sadly it is if we want progression with out a mega rich sugar daddy
 
Can't I just push the fast forward button to the end of this horror show and find out if we survived or not?

The thought of having to watch the Blackburn game is literally giving me palpatations.
 
Surprised no-one has mentioned it but the last 2 minutes at Eastlands this season absolutely destroyed me. Knocked me for six. We were 6 inches away from being the real deal when Defoe slid that effort past the post. The whole Yid end just collapsed to the floor. Heads in hands. Disbelief. I looked up and 4-5 of the players were on their knees.

City then go up the other end and we all know the rest.

That was the moment when I knew the wheels would start to come off. It was SO Tottenham.

But even I didn't think it would be like this. Walking out of Loftus Road yesterday I just felt empty at the prospect of another 5 years of mediocrity. We were on the cusp of something special. At a crossroads in our history. But we've taken the well trodden 'Spurs' route rather than the unchartered glorious one.

*sighs*

Yep nasty one,

If I still want to cry when I recall it in a couple of years I'll put on the list.
 
The scary thing is looking at a life full of this shit in front of me with how deeply I've become involved. People say its like a shitty relationship but its not, cause I'd have no problem walking away from a shitty relationship. Its more like heroin, 'cept it prolly won't kill me (I hope).

I'm pretty down right now but I'd still say lasagna-gate. We were right there with a squad that probably didn't deserve it in retrospect but to lose out on CL to our biggest rivals in that fashion was soul-crushing. At least this season we know we were in the drivers seat and fucked it up, that shit was out of our control which made it all the worse.
 
I had obviously sunk this into the deep recesses of my mind.

Losing to West Ham

Woolwich going above us

To finish in the CL place

On the last day of the season.

That is the most God awful day of my footballing life.
