Tottenham Vs Gent: Match Thread

Deleted member 27995

Anyone who isn't angry whenever Spurs get knocked out of a cup competition is watching the wrong sport.
I can't get that angry, it's a sport. I certainly wouldn't get angry on the internet either, that's hilarious.

Like I said it hurts when you read it.

Why did we give them 10,000 fucking tickets tonight?

It's hard enough trying to pull back a 0-1 deficit without the opposition being roared on by a huge support in their bloody cup final

We are so nice. What a load of bollox. Give them a few tickets right in the far corner

It was inevitable there would be a lot of anger after going out tonight but it might be a blessing for us.

We clearly don't have the squad to cope with injuries and, given our progress in the FA Cup, that is a far more realistic shot at a trophy.

If we could do that and also get into the top 4 I'm not sure anyone will look back at tonight with any particular emotion come the end of the season.


How could it be stated that it "might be a blessing" by going out of Europe's second biggest Cup competition pray tell? I mean if we can't beat Gent over one hundred and eighty odd minutes do you truly think we will beat Arsenal, Chel$ea of Man Ure over ninety ?

I don't think I've ever used the word chappy before or fam. No sure if you are from Windsor or Islington with that. It is good to hear that someone on here knows how all the fans react after a loss. It must all be what you quoted (usual for a Windsor boy but if you is from Islington you must have swallowed one of them word books innit). I look forward to hearing your pearls of wisdom in the future Vinny. Can I also say you were the ugliest muthafucker I have ever seen in our team. Tally ho
Not really talking football now are we sunshine?

Seems like you want to argue on the interwebs and throw class in for shits and giggles. Not my bag treacle, I'll let you be as someone who wants to poke people to get a rise on the net isn't someone you can have a decent conversation with in my book.

Me, you and the rest of us will have to wait for European glory next year ... This year it's all about the FA Cup and securing 4th, right?

;)

Not enough were on target but that wasn't a reflection of the quality of chances. Kane should have scored when clean through. Son should have scored when clean through. Those were all very good chances.

Agreed, but my point is they weren't put away, and how many times can you put that down to bad luck, before it becomes recognition of poor finishing?

Tonight was on the surface a much better performance than some of the crap we've served up in cups in recent years (it helps Poch seems to finally be learning his lesson and is actually putting strong teams out) but when you step back from what you saw on tv/at Wembley, the facts are that we conceded two goals, had a player sent off, and lost a tie to a mid-table team from an awful league. Once you take that step back you suddenly realise that anything but a comprehensive win is actually a poor result.

Why does it matter who you go out to? You're that bothered by what others think? How many people besides those who come up with those bullet points BBC post or the Sky stat men, will remember this result at this exact point next season?

I'm bothered by performances and results but really couldn't care what other people think long term, it's a sport thus meant to be enjoyed, if you hold onto much more that that ... Well.

Guess we are all different. :)

You're a WUM, clearly. We got knocked out, so the result was crap. So you should be bothered by your own reckoning

Not about what other people think, losing to piss poor teams should hurt you as a fan. You lose to a good team, you at least can say you were bested. We best ourselves, time and again, and get stuck in a cycle of self-doubt. Winning is a habit, and not one we look to be acquiring any time soon

Lap that up all you want.

A WUM?

LOL

I don't think it's the end of the world and it's not something I am bothered by. Now the Liverpool game and the result against Chelsea end of last season, that hurt. This, not so much.

Label away, another hilarious generational thing, this result is shit but I'm more bothered by what happens next in the league and the FA Cup if I am honest.

Crap on a cracker some of you are sensitive.

Well we knackered a full strength team, so you lets see how we bounce back in the league eh?

Generational thing?! How old are you, 70?!

The second Alli got sent off it was pretty much game over. I do give credit to the team tho, second half they really did fight for it. But we just don't have a big enough squad to challenge on multiple fronts.

Nah just someone who finds it hilarious that everything and one has a label these days.

As for the bouncebackability (see what I mean?) Yeah we will, be a good indication of how far away this team truely is. Maybe a wakeup call for some fans aswell, or not as the case maybe.

Getting angry is one of the major points of the Internet. I think you're doing it wrong
Nah, I'm really not. If you come on here to argue with people facelessly I think you have more wrong in your life than you're letting on.

It's only a game show ...

I don't think people are sensitive, I just don't think they like being told that they're immature for being bothered about yet another abject cup defeat, and that they shouldn't care.

It probably doesn't help that you're doing it in a patronising tone either, intentional or not.

So you think WUM is funny but you use LOL? I think you're confused, mate

I don't think our full strength side losing to Gent is a wake up call for our fans beyond those who think we're too good for Europa

I hope it's a wake up call for the players, they're the ones who need it

Or beat the eighth-best team in the ninth-best league in Europe over two legs?

I don't think this was about the squad.

They've needed it for a while, maybe Gent will be the one they need then, the true one.

Fingers crossed for Sunday then!

You're the one arguing with people mate, so I think you've hit the nail on the head

And if that's a Big Break reference, you got the lyrics wrong. And if not, I have no idea what that last line means

I was just suprised at the outpouring of dismay tbh. I genuinely didn't realise this is how much the Europa meant. I also satnd by what else I have said.

If it comes off as patronising then I blame the internet for that.
