So how is everyone coping?

[Lo Amo Speroni]

So how is everyone after a shit week Sunday to Sunday in Spurs World?

Why don't you just f**k off.

 

[Liquidator]

I won over £ 2 K at Cheltenham so just fine

We'll still finish at least 3rd and win the Wafer Cup so all good

Perhaps don't put the entire £2k on that double though, eh??

(I HOPE I AM WRONG)

 

[teok]

A cliche, but it's the hope that kills you.

 

[CosmicHotspur]

We need Townsend and Rose back for more options.

 

[kazzah9]

now is not the time to panic..,.

 

[dontcallme]

I'm down. Starting to feel like the last 2 seasons where we fell apart at the end and Arsenal caught us.

I could handle the Liverpool and Inter results but the Fulham one has pissed me off no end.

Need to beat Swansea to get the spirits back up again.

 

[Zammo]

I'm getting by. Thanks for asking.

 

[WestBelfast Spurs]

great so everyone is in fine form

 

[panoma]

Wish i didnt care so much

 

[RichSpur58]

I think all the regular posters on football message boards need to get a life and go outside, stop overanalysing football matches and enjoy themselves. Find a woman, and shag the shit out of her.

 

[thePessimist]

dissappointed, obviously, but still i have never actually thought we were good enough for 4th so was waiting for a poor run to kick in. have to say i'm surprised if we manage to hold on to 4th now, but who knows....

 

[EastLondonYid]

Things i do when we lose....

Never watch the game again
Avoid ssn
Don't read the papers report on our game
Avoid all gooners..( mainly for their safety)

Things i do when we win....

All the opposite of above.

I think having Kaboul on the bench for the next game would be a great little psychological stunt for AVB to use. Give the squad an air of extra solidity and security. It's gonna take something like him coming back, his presence, to shake us out of this.

AVB has to do something significant i.e. start Carroll, give Coulthirst 30 mins, something different that changes the energy of the team and injects some fire and lift's everyone.

If he thinks Ade of Defoe are gonna come good, or Dempsey will wake up and start being effective, he's in denial. He has to make a few bold decisions that may piss some people off but will jolt us out of what is clearly the beginning of a slump.

 

[Blake Griffin]

whatever will be will be. if we blow it, we blow it. we'll still be here next year.

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

Nice one mate.. fuck Spurs!

 

[Sauniere]

Nice one mate.. fuck Spurs!

Cheers mate, I'm still buzzing now!!

 

[idontgetit]

There's nothing to even talk about which is the stupid thing. We had it all so perfect after the Arsenal and first Inter game, some injuries forced some changes to the side which AVB then over tinkered with and fucked the set-up. On top of that the players are shattered and we didn't have the strength in depth in certain locations. It was all obvious stuff that everyone had already seen coming. It was was all un-necessary. Arrrgghhhhhhhhhh

 

[Spurs1960]

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.

It's quite simple, Dawson and Lennon are injured and need to recover as does Bale who seemed to be carrying an injury. Dempsey is not match fit and will get game time with the USA which adds to our options and Huddlestone will be able to get some training in, having only had 45 minutes of a youth team game.

An international break allows players to forget club troubles and come back mentally refreshed.

Our season depended upon how we perform against our rivals and nothing has happened to change that. It was always going to be the case and so it is.

Walker screwed up at Liverpool, AVB screwed up in Milan which resulted in knackered players for Fulham.

 

[antlesh]

Perhaps don't put the entire £2k on that double though, eh??

(I HOPE I AM WRONG)

Why don't you be really smart and wack that 2k on arsenal getting in champions league and us not and then either way it is a win win! I have started to do this a lot recently, buying games.... because I never win my acca's or bets I have started taking odds on silly turn arounds i.e. 2-0 up against scum I put 20 quid on Arsenal to pull it back, money well spent imho so I then thought I would do it in uefa cup again just the tenna this time but although nearly went against me it was money well spent wish I did the Fulham game at the weekend which was something like 6's before kick off.....

 

[Leachie]

I have totally switched off from football since the final whistle on Sunday. I need a little break myself as I am no longer feeling confident. Feels like we have been here before.

The one thing preventing me from totally losing faith is the fact AVB has worked on things in the past to turn things around so I believe he can do it again.
