So many really.

Campbell saying he'd stay at Spurs

Gomes' mistakes v Madrid, Villa, Chelsea and Fulham

Robinson going from a top goalie to dreadful, and that horrible hoof every week to the other goalie where it was just a personal game to him to smash it as far as he could

Kyle Walkers blind pass at Anfield

Gazza 91 that tackle

Acimovic missing an open goal

Soldado squaring the ball against Fioretina

Gilberto's stinkers in Europe

Rocha against Arsenal

Ghaly throwing his shirt

Eriksen shouting "ahhhhhh" after a miss rather than saying "fucking hell"

Scott Parkers pirouhette

Ian Walker and Bentley playing with their hair every 48 seconds

Darren Bents miss v Pompey

AVB's voice not cured after two packs of lockets

Walker v Chelsea and having that feud with Mata

Anderton telling four four two magazine he was raring to go but on match day he was in his wheelchair

Huddlestone and Reid using up the world's kethcup

Dean Austin, Nethercott and Edinburgh in defence, how was that acceptable?

Armstrong having a face like a slapped arse when scoring at the lane
These ones for sure, and add to this Caulker going deaf at Goodison a few years ago.

Crouch against Real Madrid for me. The first yellow card was bad enough but to make such a rash challenge when he'd just been booked, so early in such a big game, was unforgivable. Have never been so angry at a Spurs player.

Although this, even though the stakes weren't as high, was shocking:

Couple that haven't been mentioned yet:






Also there was a game where Ian Walker let in a really bad goal and sat there grinning. Don't remember who it was against but I was furious with him


I love Dawson's belated reaction to Jan going down

To be fair, the more you watch that, Jan leans in but the guy does give him a bit of a nod

Many good memories here...

I'll add one. So, we lose 5-0 at home to Liverpool, and BAE and Adebayor (both put on naughty step by AVB) decides to do some tweeting:

I remember being irrationally angry with Les Ferdinand missing a 1 on 1 at end of Blackburn league cup final.

Know it's only league cup, but after smashing Chelsea in the semis, was such a letdown

Nethercott against Everton in the FA semis too. Having got reinstated in the cup, and Klinsmann up top, it felt like someone stole our destiny. And his name was Stuart

That reminds me.......

We're away to Man U. Last game of the season and they need to beat us to win the league. Drop points and the league goes to Arsenal.

Step forward Les Ferdinand. He had been shit al season, would have made Soldado look like Marco van Basten. Spurs punt a long ball over the top for Les to in onto, he brings it down and knocks it forward a few yards before smashing it from the outside of the area into the roof of the net. It was an absolute rocket and gave us that rare moment of being in the lead at Old Trafford. I was fuming.

We beat Southampton 3-2 in the following game, they were predicting the future.

There are loads of bad things, but I'm stumped to offer up one as the worst.

I do remember that horrendous few minutes Vlad Chiriches had for us in, I think a Europa League game where he fouled, handball and never played for us again (or only a few times) under AVB I think.

Was it against Besiktas? The worst individual performance I've seen.

Every goal Lloris has conceded against Arsenal & Manchester City.
Seems every time we play those two teams he develops foam hands.

I remember Gregorz Rasiak jumping to head an uncontested ball that was bouncing near the half way line and entirely missing it.

It wasn't the most heinous mistake in the world, but I remember thinking that I'd never seen a professional player show such a lack of coordination and judgement of the flight of the ball under no pressure whatsoever.

It's not the worst but somehow I remember this one clearly. In 'Arrys last season, 2 games to go, beat Villa and some other crap team and we finish above Arsenal. Danny Rose gets himself sent off for a two-footer on Alan Hutton. It was on the half-way line, totally unnecessary. I was fuming after the game, how the fuck could you lose your head like that?

But Danny has won me over since then, t'riffic player. (y)
