Aaaaaaaaand it's gone

Chelsea getting CL is probably up there.

Losing both Keane and berbatov in the same summer was just brutal.

 

[goughie1966]

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.

And losing Gazza a couple of years later just piled on the misery.

Chelsea winning the Champs League at the time was so bad. It really did feel like if anything could go wrong for us it would. Watched it in a bar near Paris. Full of North Africans cheering on Chelsea. I asked why they were supporting England’s racist club, the club that hates North Africans. It did confuse them.

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)

Oh yeah?

Hearing that Scholar had bankrupted us and that Spurs could possibly go into receivership.

Lose your Captain to a rival is bad, potentially lose your club?

Nothing was, is or could be worse than that.

But want you said never happened.

 

[Kingstheman]

Sol Campbell to Arsenal.

3 - 0 up to a ten man Man City, at home, when they were on a losing streak with striker issues, half time? 3 - 4.

Chelsea beating Barcelona and then Bayern. Knocking us back down to Europa.

Those three.

 

[scat1620]

It's clearly not objectively the worst moment we've had during my time following Spurs (since 1995/96), but as it doesn't seem to have had very many mentions so far I'd have to put the failure to finish above Arsenal in 2015/16 up there in the mix. It was SOOOOO avoidable, and we should have had the 20 year old hoodoo put to bed that season rather than the next opportunity in 2016/17. Easily the lowest point of what has been, on the whole, a fantastic time to be a Spurs fan under Pochettino's management.

Chelsea 2012


I was on stage at a not so great gig and could see a T.V. from the stage.

We had to play to 11pm and I had to look slightly interested...oh yeah, I drove to the gig so no commiseration beer either


hated Chelsea utterly from that day

Chelsea vs Bayern 2012.
Was dating a German girl that was a huge Bayern fan at the time - was meant to be my first time, needless to say Spurs got screwed but I didn’t.

A few that hadn't been mentioned already:

Crouch's red card in Madrid - it was our first year in the Champions League and we'd shocked everyone to reach the quarter-finals, and after beating some of the teams that we had done then our fans were getting confident. We were in uncharted territory, nobody knew how far we could go, because nobody had expected us to get this far. Maybe we could even go to Madrid and win? 15 minutes into that game and we were well and truly brought back down to earth.

Higuain and Dybala scoring twice in the space of about two minutes. Again, after such good results against European heavyweights in the group stages, beating the reigning champions and then having done so well to get into a winning position against another big side with just 25 minutes to go of the two legs, to concede two goals so quickly and have the campaign come to an abrupt end absolutely stunned me. I just remember leaving the ground with my brother and travelling the entire way home in complete silence, neither of us could say a word. To this day I've still never watched the highlights back.

And a strange one, but I'd say the end of the summer 2012 transfer window, in particular, the collapse of the Moutinho deal. Because I realised that after enjoying the most exciting Tottenham side in decades play brilliant football with Modric, Van Der Vaart and Kranjcar running the show, I was now going to have to suffer through AVB's boreathon with our midfield of Livermore, Sandro, Parker, Dempsey and Dembele passing the ball sideways at snails pace.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

So many moments have been shite down the years but in addition to the many already mentioned...

Losing 3-5 to Yanited after being 3-0 up
Losing 7-1 away to Newcastle
Losing 6-1 away to Bolton
Losing to Kaiserslautern 2-0 away when fucking George Graham drops Ginola
Losing to Arsenal...ever.
Drawing to Chelsea away when we we 2 up at half time
Losing to Everton at home 2-1 in '85 when we shouldve won the Canon League Division 1....

Fuck I could go on night, but now I am in a very dark place...

Think happy thoughts think happy thoughts think happy thoughts...

 

[TheChosenOne]

Greavsie leaving and signing for West Ham.

He didn't want to go, he was the makeweight in the arrival of Martin Peters.

Him leaving was probably my first 'aaaaaaaaaaand-it's-gone' An end of an era.

 

[Spurslove]

Chelsea vs Bayern 2012.
Was dating a German girl that was a huge Bayern fan at the time - was meant to be my first time, needless to say Spurs got screwed but I didn’t.

I must admit, Robben missing a penalty against Chelsea that night, in his own home ground, nearly turned me into a homicidal maniac.

Hard to say, as I began supporting Spurs in the mid-90s when I was in primary school (I'm 31 now) and since then we have, slowly but surely, just got better and better.

My first big memory as a Spurs fan was the glorious 6-2 win against Wimbledon which kept us up, and it's been onwards and upwards since there, really.

I've been accustomed to us losing our big players as if it's basically an inevitability, from Sheringham and Campbell, to my hero David Ginola who I met when I was 11, to Carrick, to Keane, to Berbatov, to Rafa, and ultimately to Luka and Gareth, and somehow we always seem to come out stronger in the end.

I guess the two standout moments for me when I thought "ah fuck it, what's the point?" were firstly not the sacking of BMJ as such, but the harsh reality of what we'd thrown away once Juande Ramos had begun to make his mark on the club, and secondly losing Modric and Bale to Madrid within a year of each other.

Looking over all of those names above, though, one thing really stands out - the last time we lost a huge player against our will was September 2013. That's five years ago now.

Providing we keep hold of Poch, Eriksen, Kane and Alli in this window, which I think we will, we'll have gone half a decade without losing anyone we really want to keep, in spite of having the best squad we've ever had in my lifetime.

Happy days indeed.

Come on you fucking Spurs, you useless bastards.

 

[TheBlueRooster]

When Marseille called our bluff.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Wiliam about to sign for Spurs then all of a sudden he was in a Chelsea shirt that was another wtf moment

Still a shame as he is a superb footballer. But he made his bed. Let the house it's in collapse around him. Not so sure he'd make the same.decision if it was the same situation now though.

 

[longtimespur]

John White's untimely death on the golf course. Nothing more to add except, for those too young, imagine losing Christian Eriksen from todays team.

 

[gp13tot]

Losing to blackburn in the worthy cup final and their midfield of tugay and 38 y.o Mark Hughes. I'm quite a pessimistic spurs fan but i was absolutely certain we were winning that game after the arfa arfa game vs the chavs. Made me realise that hoddle wasnt the messiah and that spurs werent going to win many trophies
