In the past week, we've seen the fortunes of clubs potentially go to shit in the blink of an eye. Whether it be ZZ signing off, Roman downing tools or Salah 'popping out', the respective fans of Real, Chelsea and Liverpool have all seen their hopes crumble in a way none of them can have expected literally minutes before.

As a Spurs fan, my sense is that this feeling is not an uncommon one for us. Steed trying to clear off the line. Howard Webb giving that undeserved penalty against Gomes. Hearing that Sugar and Venables had fallen out. Or finding out that Keane was a boyhood Liverpool fan. There have been countless moments on and off the pitch where I've sat there and thought 'And now we're fucked.'

Probably the one that sticks most in the craw for me was the resignation of Pleat. We were superb in the one full season we had under him and I thought we were going places fast. Sadly, he went places slow and our long, steady decline into the 90s started. Reading the news that morning was probably the time when I've felt most certain that everything had gone tits up. Literally. But what about you? What Spurs-related moment do you recall when you sat there and thought...

Funtime Frankie fucking off to Chelsea was a bitter pill. No matter what we did they could just waltz in and buy our progress off us.

  • When we announced that Tim Sherwood had been appointed on an 18-month contract
  • When Chelsea equalized in the "Battle of Stamford Bridge" game
  • When I saw the team sheet for Dortmund away in the Europa League semi (midfield of Carrol and Mason :LOL:)

Yep, this one for me too. The worst part is I spent the rest of the game going apeshit at the players when in fact I should have sat back and tried to enjoy them kicking the shit out of Fabregas etc

The year I was born. I apologise.
I blame your parents to be fair.


Martin Jol getting sacked. Probably still the most fun I’ve had as a Spurs fan was his era. There’s too much added pressure under Poch to actually enjoy it so much. Qualifying for the Europa League was glorious.

Messi missing that penalty against Chelsea in the CL. You just knew it wasn't going to end well for us.

Saddest moment was losing Keane and Berbatov. So many high points and all building onwards and upwards. Then to lose our best two players at that point was devastating.

If Poch leaves in the next 5 years that moment will be the all time low for me. I have every confidence in him being able to build a great team no matter who goes. If he leaves it will be a massive hole to fill.

My dad's always blamed the second bottle of wine.

I remember feeling really despondent when we sold Carrick to United. Made a crater sized hole in the team that took years to recover from

Nothing can beat Sol Campbell our captain at the time walking side by side with Arsene Wenger.

Any other club, Sol would of had our blessing. (deep down i'm sure he regrets what he did)

The moment I got off a flight to Vegas with dozens of "hhahahahahahahahhahaahahhahaah" messages after Chelsea won the CL. We lost out, hazard joined them and the momentum we had started stopped instantly.

Gareth Bale going was the last time for me. Just couldn't help feeling that after Robbie Keane, Berbatov, Carrick and Modric all previously going when we started to look good, that no matter what we do, how good we make players become, they'll always fuck off to somewhere better when the time comes.

That was pretty much the last time we let a player go that we really wanted to keep, as far as I remember. So, that either means we've upped our place in the pecking order, or it's due to happen again anytime soon!
