Adding insult to injury time

When Livermore scored in the 92nd minute, it did strike me that there's no worse feeling in football than seeing your team lose in or after the 90th minute and my mind immediately went to two other occasions where Spurs have stolen defeat from the jaws of parity. The 1-0 defeat to Sunderland that was the beginning of the end for Martin Jol and the 1-0 loss to Fulham which was the first and only time I ever watched Spurs on pay-per-view and which I can best characterise as "90 minutes of utter shit and then it got worse."

The BBC have kindly informed me that no other team has inflicted this special kind of torture on its fans. Twenty times Spurs have done this in the Premier League. Twenty ****ing times. Thankfully, I can only recall the three above at the moment, but misery loves company, so if you have any memories to share on this, please feel free to do so.

And if that's all too miserable for you and you want to lift the mood, then please feel free to share your memories of injury time winners too.

It would be all too predictable of me to pick the Stalteri last-minute winner against West Ham, or the Dier last-minute winner against West Ham, so, for a change, I'm going for the Bale last-minute winner against West Ham....

Makes me sick watching that. I was in the lobby bit pacing up and down after going for a piss, convinced they would score. Then I came up as he scored or just after. The rest was a blur..

Both those goals from two World class players, unfortunately we have too few of them in the current team.

A recent favourite was the Harry Kane penalty against West Ham at the lane, and the fury that came from West Hams fans because according to them the ref should've blown the final whistle before he could put the rebound in to make it 2-2 but i remember it felt like a win at the time... 96th minute i think.

Another very annoying added time defeat - one up at Everton going into final minutes - lost 1 - 2 under AVB. In about two minutes we went from taking 3 points to getting nothing.

Man City away a few years ago was the worst. Defoe inches away from a tap in to put us up 3-2 and firmly in the title race, only for them to go up the other end and get a penalty.

Most sadly of all a penalty given away by a King who was clearly on his last legs by then :(, taken by Ballotelli who shouldn't have been on the pitch

So we've dropped four points in injury time this season, while both City and United have gained four, and Liverpool and Chelsea have broken even?

How have we returned to being the team who finish weakly, from where we were in 2014/15 when we scored last--minute winners for fun?
Quite simple really. Firstly we're in a situation where we're dropping points as of the 90th minute far less often, so there's far fewer opportunities to gain them, and conversely we're far more often in the lead and have a chance to lose it. Secondly you'll always see variation, and lots of it when the sample size (of however many games a season are level or only have a goal in them in the 90th minute) is tiny and one outcome (nothing changes) far more common than the other.

I remember 1-0 against Everton a few seasons back, and then we conceded 2 goals in 5mins in the 90th min.

Was given a retrospective 3match ban but that did sh*t for us.

That was the night before Chinese New year... and my gf kept asking me why I look so sad on what's suppose to be a happy occasion.

Bah!

Bad memory - Newcastle away along time ago. I was literally the last row with my back to the wall up in the clouds. After spending 6 hours on a coach trip down from WHL, I was treated to the dullest of stalemates. We had a chance to win in extra time, Frazier Campbell missing a sitter. Only for Newcastle to go up the other end and score with virtually the last touch of the game. Just what you want with a 6 hour return journey to complete.

Good memory - a pretty dull away game to Cardiff was lifted by one of the rare moments of quality Paulinho displayed in a Spurs shirt. A lovely little flicked shot in the last minute sent us crazy in the away end. Did something dodgy to my foot in the celebrations as I couldn’t walk on it without pain for a month or so. But it was worth it!
