I'm alright. I don't really understand how so many of you are glad for the international week though.
I can't wait for the next match as it gives us an opportunity to turn around our bad form.

Strange.
Whenever tottenham win, im relieved and dread our next game.
Whenever tottenham lose/draw, im angry and count down the days until our next game.
Suffice to say, fuck the international break.

I think Siggy was right, we could have done with another game to put it right, preferably yesterday! As much as I hate the international break, it couldn't have come at a better time to get Lennon fit again. It'll be worth the wait to have him back.

I'm using up the last 2 weeks of my holiday before the end of the month but am having my bathroom re-fitted this week so I'm stuck in the flat moping around just refreshing spurscommunity and reminding myself that we lost at home to Fulham on Sunday. So not great really.
The international break sucks because we have to wait but if it means some players get the rest and treatment they need and we can regroup and put some things right then good so be it.
Gonna be a long 2 weeks though.

Saturday morning my sons U10 team (i manage it) had a crunch game. If we won, we guaranteed our place in the B division next season. We were up against it, this is a sunday league and the fixture was changed to a saturday by the home team which caused huge problems to us. We had big players missing and had lost to this team earlier in the season with a full squad. The pitch was a nightmare, muddy and waterlogged but with fixture congestion the game had to go ahead.
At u10 we play 2 teams and combine the scores. My first team out lost 2-1 so the team that my son plays in had a deficit to make up. We got to half time and it was 0-0 in the second game so still losing 2-1 overall, on the plus side we had absolutely battered them but couldn't get the ball in the net. Second half we scored quickly, evening the game at 2-2, they quickly hit us on the break, back to 3-2. Another goal from my lads evened things up again. We were still bossing the possession and creating most of the chances but were being punished for stwarming forward - but we wanted to win, we needed to win to ease the pressure. 5 minutes to go and my son was fouled and the players stopped waiting for the free kick. The referee said advantage but my players never touched the ball again! Where was the advantage? In the confusion one of the opposition picked up the ball in midfield and shot and scored from long range as the goalkeeper was off his line. The ref blew the whistle and pointed to the centre spot. Now I don't condone referee abuse but i gave the useless biased bastard a right bollocking from the sidelines. Where was the advantage? He pointedly ignored me and avoided looking in my direction, with it being so late on we looked like losing the game. I was fuming and screamed to my lads to give it their all....
With two minutes to go one of my boys picked up the ball in midfield and carved his way through the entire team, he got to one on one with the keeper and slotted it past him into the corner of the net. 4-4 The rest of the team dived on him and were rolling around in the mud, completely wet through and covered in filth. I shouted that we hadn't finished we still had to score another, the job wasn't done. The other team kicked off, we won the ball in the centre circle and the same boy who had just scored ran through the team for a second time, levaing everyone in his wake. The keeper came out.... time stood still. I thought for a second he was going to blast it, he shaped up to do so, feinted to shoot and as the keeper went to ground he took the ball around him and side footed it into the net. 4-5. The crowd went mad. The goalscorer was swamped again, some of my boys did the old Klinsmann dive into the mud. Chaos ensued. When the referee got the game underway again there were seconds to go. He blew the whistle and we had retained our place in the division with 2 games to go, easing the pressure and condemning the other team to relegation in the process.
So in summary, bearing in mind the above, even a lacklustre toothless Spurs losing at home to a shit Fulham couldn't dampen my weekend

We should be used to setbacks by now but every time we lose I still feel emotionally bruised.

In all honesty I'm starting to feel acutely jaded. If we crumble again this season then the knock to my love of football could be so catastrophic that it will never be the same again.

When I saw the score I went a bit green, ripped off my shirt and shouted 'you wouldn't like me when I'm angry' at my wife before smashing a hole in the wall of our flat and setting off on a demonic rampage around the Warlingham area.
I'm better now but the bill for setting fire to the local petrol station might be a bit steep.
Bloody Spurs.

I'm still numb out from last season tbh. I was never comfortable with 7 pts on the arseholes anyway, not with our fixture list, not knowing the players as I do, not after last season. But THFC has embedded itself into my genes over the last 30 yrs and I just can't stop caring. And these are the times when I wish I didn't care so I had to convince myself I didn't care just to get through the rest of Sunday without getting snotty with my family (who really don't deserve a moody husband/daddy). It works most of the time and fades over the following days so long as I avoid the media and limit my exposure to the internet. Cheaper than a shrink anyway.....
Glad of the break, Get Bales ankle better, Lennon too. Time is no healer for what our strikers have though.....

Not read a paper or any report/blog online since Thursday nights shambles. Not visited any other forum apart from a united one where I have a account and post undercover....
Hate int breaks as we needed a game to set things right asap. Gonna spend the next couple of weeks perving at milfs....

it's just the wind down to what is gonna be another typical season for spurs. We should be used to this. Peak mid-season then drop off. Psychologically, the loss to Liverfool was devastating.
Not so much that we lost, but the way in which was lost. Worked so hard to get a lead from a losing position, then threw it away through two stupid mistakes.
Something about our club just oozes nervousness, an inability to deal with pressure.
All we can do know is look out the window and watch as Assnil overtake us. Again.

Have just avoided every other media source, no SSN....no papers, nothing. Just hide in SC like a little depressed fuck.
Last week was gruesome. For me the moment it went wrong, aside from the obvious Walker cluster fuck, was when Lennon got injured late on in the 3-0 against Inter. I remember that AVB had asked if he wanted to come off....5 mins later, arghh....fuck.
It really has got me down this time and I'm praying we can recover. Next two games against Swansea and Everton, need a minimum of 4 points, well we need 6 really and Swansea havn't much to play for at all.
I think we would of beat Fulham had we not played 120 minutes or AVB had picked two sensible sides allowing for fatigue etc. So in that sense we probably would of responded to our defeat at Liverpool, however circumstances and naïve decisions dictated that we didn't.
What's absolutely crucial is that we respond away to Swansea. Another limp, tepid performance and I really will be shitting bricks.
