What? You replying to me? Read my post again cos I’m not ashamed in the slightestSo what? We lost and rightly so over the 2 legs. Fact is we play against a club that pays twice the wages that we pay and we got nudged out missing 75% of our goalscorers.
Ashamed? Not even close.
Fully agree, they are fantastic all I feel is pride for them.
Our day will come.
If this is how you feel why do t you support a team that will buy you the “success” you crave?Ali got knocked down once against Frazier. He got up and lost. He went on to regain the heavyweight world championship winning a fight people were saying he was going to get killed in and then beat Frazier twice.
Comparing this Tottenham side to Muhammad Ali is, well, ever so slightly stretching it a bit!
Henry Cooper is a better comparison. Tried to mix it with the big boys and looked half decent for a round or two but ultimately always came up short and was never really in the discussion when the prizes were being handed out!
He also suffered with injuries too!
Or a Woolwich or a Blackburn or a ...Yeah! Be careful what you wish for, we might do aLeedsMan City

Genuine question. No snark. You bought into being a Spurs fan. This is the best we have been in a generation- maybe two generations - if you can’t support this and be proud of moments like tonight what’s the point?
That was my point about my Aussie rules side. Look up their history.
Ok just was a bit confusedNo I'm not. But if it stops you fighting with your kids then OK.
We are still naive. We are not savvy enough to get through these games. It kills me. We need an older head out there giving the bollockings out, we don’t have that. Toby and Jan should be that guy, but they’re not. We need a leader, a vocal on pitch leader. I don’t care if the modern ‘leader’ does it on the training ground, we need a leader on the pitch. We need it to learn how to see out these games.
We’ve just finished third again, in how many comps over how many years? Come on, we all know, we should have won something by now. Gutted

absolute quality post mateNo. Clearly not.
I said I've experienced the thrill of watching your team be the best - over and over and over.
But I've rarely been prouder of a performance than what I saw second half tonight.
Do people really not realise how on the ropes we were? Have been for months. Thought United was the knock out blow. Wasn't.
WE. KEEP. GETTING. UP. OFF. THE. CANVAS.
That is what sport is all about. Getting up off the canvas.
Like Ali when he LOST to Frazier. Didn't matter. He kept getting up off the canvas. That was what showed he had truly transcendent Champion qualities.
We are fucked and won't win fuck all this year. But if we keep doing what we did tonight I'm excited and, more importantly, want those players to know how fucking proud I am to support them.
I hope you’re right.
The more big games we lose the more I think in a few years people will look back on this side like they do with the Leeds and Newcastle teams of fairly recent times.
‘Remember when Tottenham had a very good side and almost won something’
We're all a bit fucked off but equally a bit accepting of what was likely to happen tonight. No need to turn in on ourselves.Ok just was a bit confused
Hmm
I agree - I thought he struggled to find his footing early in the match - not sure that spot in the diamond suits him - but he never gave up, and began to assert himself as the match went on.Can I just say I thought Harry winks had another really good game tonight.

I don’t support this side anymore than I supported the sides of the mid 90’s when I started following the club. I didn’t buy in to anything, it was forced on me as a kid. Given the choice now I wouldn’t follow football at all to be honest but it’s there and not going away!
I don’t crave success at all. I’m not overly fussed by it. I actually felt more comfortable when it was clearly obvious we had fuck all chance of winning anything and the season was over and done with in February every season! This lot have the horrible knack of looking like they’re going to do something yet falling when it matters.
Oh for Doherty and Gardener back...
