The shocking thing about that is i actually don’t...id give my left bollock to watch us win the FA cup, i know it has lost a bit of its shine but growing up watching/reading about the great Spurs cup sides but never seeing us win it is frustrating, my old man took me to Manchester in 01 when we lost to the scum and i cried my heart out and ever since then iv been desperate to see us win it.

I was quite young at the time, but I just remember we should have had a penalty for a clear handball, only for Judas to then give away a penalty for doing the same thing...

I just posted a highlights clip.

This reply.......

The dildos don’t understand, maybe this will help. The spuds are getting the Penthouse pet of the month, we are getting Razzles readers wife ( Joyce 54 from Preston ). No comparison.

Apparently Joyce has tweeted back she is suing for defamation.

Our decline was well and truly in motion by this point,

This was tragic, we should’ve won the cup that year and the manner in which we lost still hurts. I’m yet to forgive Stuart Nethercott.

We were mid table, they were one of the best teams in the country. Still, we were denied a certain penalty in the last minute of normal time when Dabizas fouled, right in front of me that was.

I genuinely believed we’d do it at 1-0. Campbell went off crocked and that was that.

This was disgusting, but also I think gave the team the fire to go beat Chelsea and Arsenal in the next week before finishing 4th for the first time.

This was a terrible day to support Spurs.

As so often v Chelsea, we were the better side but let ourselves down in key moments. Ultimately lost to two rockets and I still don’t understand Son at left back over Davies.

This is a very good summary but I disagree with 92/93 (point 1). We were really building something - I think about that season far too much - we'd gone from a tired team in 91/92 with the highlights being that welimped out of the CWC and got done by Forest at home in the league cup semis (we were shit at home all season).

Peter Shreeves was sacked again and Venables took on a more hands-on role. Livermore and Clemence were our joint coaches but Venables was pulling the strings. We bought Sheringham, Anderton and Ruddock (back) - who was brilliant, not overweight and with an amazing left foot (see his goal v Norwich and assist v Leeds for Teddy). Barmby came through and we were flying at times. It felt really fresh. Samways and Nayim stepped up and we demolished Man City away in the quarter finals (Nayim hattrick).

Even Andy Turner looked like he might be a player. And Campbell and Carr were on the edges of breaking through.

In the semi, Andy Linneghan (sp?) fouled Anderton at 0-0 in the box when he was clean through. Should have been a pen and them down to ten. It was a drab game but we were done over.

Some of the football and goals we scored was incredible. Norwich at home, QPR at home, four goals in four minutes 44 seconds v Southampton at WHL. Check out Barmby's header v Wimbledon and Sheringham v QPR, plus the ones above.

Then Sugar and Venables fell out and it all went to shit. Ruddock went to Liverpool, and never was as good again, Sheringham got done by Robson at OT and was out for almost all the season. And Ardiles didn't know what he was doing and we nearly got relegated in 93/94. That's when it really started...anyway, I'll shut up now .

I was very young still (born 1985) so I guess my mental image is that bear bankruptcy and losing Gazza was the beginning of the decline.

I think we should re-name it the Room of Requirement since it seems to turn into whatever the fuck people want anyway

I've been following Spurs since '81 and all those results really hurt. However, for some weird reason, I have no memory of that 5:1 Chelsea match at all. It must have been so horrific that I have erased it from my mind

That is the only game I have ever left early from. Was so humiliating. Just couldnt watch anymore, we were taught a lesson that day.

Sorry if I called you something bad. I was losing my shit at people leaving on 70 minutes. It felt that it made the whole thing even more humiliating.

5-1 away to Wimbledon. Walking away up the toad we heard the roar of the filth goal. A piece of me died that day

Usual shit: talk about anything you like and, if challenged, justify it by saying that it might have once been alluded to by a fan of an opposing team and it is therefore on topic.

Yeah I went to that Watford game. It was great!
Unfortunately I also went to that 5-1 shite which is for me the most single depressing experience as a spurs fan. The Chelsea fans were a total disgrace that day.

You know, the people complaining about the thread going off topic could always go and find some things our opponents' fans are saying about us...

TheChosenOne · Mar 21, 2018

Only an old fart's opinion but a lot of the stuff recently quoted could be construed as related to the fact that opponents accuse us of being dirty cheats, divers, con merchants etc when the examples quoted put up a decent case that we are as much sinned against as any other team.
