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)

Always be mine. I was on holiday, back then no access to what was going on in the world abroad beyond newspapers.

I was walking in the sunshine having a nice day, when I walked past a blond haired scruffy little dickhead in an Arsenal shirt.

"Oi where's Sol gone?" he yelled towards me.
Unaware my confused retort was "I don't know".

He look puzzled and didn't say anything else. Myself, also puzzled, went to nearest paper stand, turned to back page and saw the news. I'll always regret not knowing and missing the chance to chuck that little shit in the sea.

Deep down he’d do it all again. He’s a ****.

Way too many to list. However I'm saying Chelsea beating Bayern Munich in the CL final.
Was like a bad joke. A Chelsea team having a miserable season, with a rookie head coach. Bayern dominated the game but Chelsea still won.
Losing the cup final against Blackburn sucked as well.

My darkest Spurs day will be a strange one to many but it was in 2001 when I heard that Glenn Hoddle was our new manager :(.

I just knew he would fail and unlike many just as bad appointments we could have made the fact that he was a club hero would mean he would keep his job well past the point when any other manager would have been sacked. And he did and still to this day many will say he wasn't given a chance :banghead:.

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!

Depends who you ask. I think most people would've rather we kept Walker but I get what you mean in the sense that Poch clearly sanctioned the move and wanted him gone after their fallout.

1986/7 was painful and to cap it off we lost Hod.

Lasagnegate was truly hideous, I'd spent the weekend on a stag do in Amsterdam signing Spurs songs with my mates, with the worst hangover I've ever known we were waiting to board the ferry when news was trickling in we were asking for the game to be postponed etc etc.
With no phone coverage until we arrived at Harwich the worst was confirmed and there were West Ham/Arsenal scenes of joy all over MOTD (can't believe I watched it).
I remember being totally flabbergasted that Lineker's sign off was a gag about the identity of the chef and a photo of Wenger in a chefs hat.
How could they make light of the worst moment of my life?? Fortunately I have a little more prospective about these things these days although the 2-2 with Chelsea and 1-0 at West Ham in recent years have come close.

Fuck typing that has put me on a right downer

Selling Chris Waddle to Marseille in 1989. We had just signed Gary Lineker from Barcelona and it looked like we might have a title chasing team and then we went and sold our best player and it became clear all was not well with the club’s finances. That was the prelude to the dross 1990s period of Alan Sugar ownership.

Not sure why it hurt so much, (maybe my age) but losing to Everton 4-1 in the semi really did me in. I was inconsolable that day.

Lasagnagate was a bad day. That really was a ‘aaaaaaaaand it’s gone’ type day. As was Chelsea beating Bayern to fuck us over.

when Hod left (as a player) I lost my childhood hero, my reason for going to the park and trying for hours to backspin, sidespin and volley my way into a dreamworld, while others around me kissed girls and sniffed glue instead. It had to be that cnt Wenger who took him away, and then our captain a generation later.

More recently I had a very bad vibe about the AVB appointment, which along with the stop gap which followed set us back years.

All this conditioning makes you think there's another shitshow just around the corner. As a consequence I'm pretty much happy with where we're at, and would be more than happy going into next season with exactly the same squad. As long as we can strike an accommodation with Toby, Danny and Mousa. Be wary of change and what you wish for.

+1 to BMJ getting the sack. Wasn't it a Euro game, and everyone knew he had been sacked, including himself? I recall him looking like a broken man in the dugout. That was hard to take. The worst kept secret meeting outside of MJ12 was a right humdinger too.

Losing Carrick, Modric, Berbs and Keane in a fairly short period were tough times. Almost started to wonder what the point was.

Captain Bellend and Ade saluting each other has to go down as most embarrassing moment.

3-0 up at half time vs Utd......you know the rest. Choker.

The game vs. Man City where Balotelli stepped on Scott Parker's head, suffered no repercussions, then scored the winning penalty. I'm not sure whether or not you can say that was the beginning of our slide in 2012, but in hindsight it feels like a watershed moment.

Was indeed - I was there and it was such a weird atmosphere. You could tell something was going on from the crowd, checked my phone at halftime and saw the news. There was a lot of noise for the big fella that night, was great but tragic all in one go.
