I turned the tv off after the final whistle, I didn't see it and I do not believe you.Jordan Henderson lifted the European Cup as the winning captain
Let that sink in people
But we are not getting closer are we? That last the problem the same pattern keeps on happening and yet so many think we will get a different result next time - the definition of madness. This team is going to go through a rebuild - the scope for replicating the last 5 years in terms of the players we have hard is going to be extremely difficult.
No doubt there has been a lot of good I just don't want to look back and think nearly, almost or what if?You don't think the past few years have been a good reason to remember this Spurs team?
Im proud we got to the final. I get that.
It's a minor miracle from Poch and the players.
But not spending a bean on players. That's nothing to be proud of. Not when the club records an unprecedented profit statement.
We need to face up to reality. We ain't getting this close again without a major shift in the philosophy of the owners. Poch needs serious backing and we need to start acting like the big club we are. Not some pennyless paupers punching above their weight.
This summer is a pivotal moment in our history
That goal early sort of helped spurs more then anything. Had the game on the front foot from there and couldn’t take advantage on so many glorious chances. Kane and that questionable penalty are simply escape goats at this point masking a poor attacking performance across the boardThey are a very strong defensive unit so giving up a pen 30 seconds in fucked it. We played the better stuff in a very poor game but no belief.

Rather I want to look back and know that we did make it to the end we did win that cup and we did win.
That's what I want that's what a legacy is.
They might not have been the best shots but they were shots none the less.We had plenty of shots at Allison.
Not that difficult to stomach we are used to winning nothing poor performance from both teams tonightCorrect.
It feels like a lost opportunity to me. Just a loss that felt as though we could have avoided with a more coherent performance.
It's hard to take and I feel we handed the impetus to Liverpool by starting Kane, when Son and Moura's movement if not physicality might have been better.
Now it's a few days of having Liverpool rammed down my throat, reading how we could have started something (but haven't) and the inevitable doubts about a squad that will now get broken up and never have a trophy to show for it.
Been a long time since we tasted success. Really difficult to stomach.
Oh hey Hood, that's really helpful right now. Why not drink a bottle of bleach or something?
We were the better team in a shit final. Poor finishing cost us again, but you know what - we got to the CL final you giant bell end. Dared to do. Some fucking magical moments I'll carry to the grave. After 20 years of supporting a fucking disaster of a team from 1989 to 2009 I'll take this CL run thanks.
Feel free to do one.
No. But we shouldn't be congratuling ourselves over defeat either.So we just finished 2nd in the Champions League and we should be 'holding the clubs feet to the fire'......really??

Are you near death?
