We don't need to imagine, we know exactly how it feels....maybe not at a CL semi final defeat in the last minute, but we've had our fair share of heartbreaking disappointments over the years.

That’s literally ALL we’ve had for a decade

Nah we've had some good times in the last decade. Just no trophies.
When you compare 2009-2019 to 1999-2009 you realise just how good we've become in the last decade. In fact, it's quite astonishing we've not won a trophy in that time.

Fuck me, the arrogance of some of them though

"Any number of them will just be glad to be there, and they're far more likely to be star struck and overwhelmed by the occasion. Spurs will face a wall of red in that stadium. "

Star struck?? Fuck me Harry won't know what to do when he see's Jordan Fucking Henderson lining up against him, he will have to contain himself from rushing up and asking for an autograph.

I hope we twat them, in the last minute
I hope we twat them in every minute

Which technically is failure.

All we’ve done is lose finals and semi’s - please clarify which bit of this isn’t correct?

I saw us beat ac milan at the san siro. That was a fantastic memory.
I watched us get a 1-1 draw at the nou camp.
Singing north london's a shit hole in madrid.
I'll be going to madrid again even though i haven't got tickets. Even if we lose it is going to be mental.

You talk of failure, i have had some of the best times of my life with this team over the last decade. So you are wrong.

Liverpool fans are a bit moronic aren't they?
Read their comments that we don't have the experience for this kind of game and they do.

They have won the European cup once in the last THIRTY FIVE YEARS.

None of the players or staff from 2005 are still there.
I'm sure half the players that won their first 4 from 77-84 are dead.

So why are they so much more experienced than Spurs players?

It's in their blud fam

...but the whole of football is infected with this kind of thinking, including a lot of SC members. They have this concept that there is some kind of indelible "character" to a club that persists through decades, despite the ownership, the stadium, the players and the entire staff changing multiple times.

Fans of all clubs constantly refer to their "tradition", as if the successes of yesteryear have any causal bearing on the present. They don't, it's purely delusional.

There are clubs that serially underachieve, Newcastle being the obvious example, but that's attributable to the continuity of bad ownership and management over a long period. It isn't a mystical quality that is attached permanently to the club, any more than Tottenham are fated to remain "Spursy" in perpetuity. Nor do Arsenal merely have to show up to win because of what they achieved in the 30s and 00s.

This is a lesson that Man Utd fans have learned the hard way since Ferguson retired. It's a lesson that Liverpool fans should have learned 25-30 years ago. And it's something they know all about in Sheffield.

It's yet another version, well-camouflaged in this case, of the gambler's fallacy: the notion that past random (or in this case, unconnected) events affect present and future random events.
