My stomach is churning..
OP is missing:
I was watching the clip from the UEFA Cup Final in the 'On this Day' thread (for which many thanks, @TheChosenOne) and I'd forgotten how the Spurs crowd reacted when Danny Thomas missed the penalty that would have won us the game. They didn't shout 'FFS, Danny', or 'get rid' or 'I told you he was shit'. Rather, they spontaneously burst into a rendition of 'There's only one Danny Thomas' in support of a player at the lowest ebb in his career.
I know it's asking a bit much of the Match Thread, but these players have come through a ridiculous number of injuries and setbacks to drag this team to potentially its greatest ever triumph. In many ways, one could argue they shouldn't be there. But they are there and, in many other ways, they absolutely deserve it for their bravery, their mentality, their never-say-die attitude in this competition.
So, if at all possible, it would be great to have a little more of the 'Ohttps://twitter.com/footballjoe/status/1133843521717325826?s=21' attitude in this thread and a little less of the 'Oh, fuck off, Trippier' approach. Asking a bit much, I know, but, hey, worth a try.
Oh, and if you haven't seen the 'On this Day' thread of which I speak, enjoy...

I agree with the sentiment, but people very rarely turn on each other in match threads.No matter what happens on Saturday evening (though we're winning) let's not turn on eachother in here.
This season has provided moments & memories that are extremely unlikely to be repeated in our lifetime. Be grateful for what we've had & enjoy the occasion.
COYS

They turn on the team, the manager, and Levy.
Some people just aren't very good at handling disappointment, god knows why...we've had enough practise. I fully expect the usual digs of 'legends' and 'spursy' to come out if we don't win, which is utterly ridiculous when you consider everything.
Ill be in here before, and the day after, but I won't be anywhere near it during the match.

I'm sorry but I would have to give that to another photographer!I can't believe that I'm going to miss the most important game of our recent history and certainly the biggest game of lives as Spurs fans. Little did I know that a year ago, booking a wedding (a wedding photographer) would mean me missing the most important game ever. I think we can pull this one off. Something is telling me that this season was meant to be for us. The injuries, the stadium fiasco, the lack of spending - everything we did brought us to where we are now. Matchday I won't be able to get on here - let's hope Saturday night when I eventually get home (long after the final whistle) that we are basking in the glory of being called Champions of Europe! COYS!!
I know. Listening that I feel like I'm going to be actually playing!My stomach is churning..
Agreed. I'll be at the screening so thankfully will miss this thread during the match. Fully expect the following:
FFS Trippier
Kane looks unfit
FFS Trippier
Eriksen why can’t you beat the 1st man /our corners are shit
FFS Trippier
Salah you diving c**t
FFS Trippier
This squad needs major surgery in the summer
FFS Trippier
…and that’s just inside the first 10 minutes of the game ?
But in all seriousness, enjoy the ride everyone.
The TV build up here in Ireland starts at 18.00 on Virgin Media which is great but the match will be just about one minute behind 'real time' so I will be totally offline for the duration .. I get various news alerts from news
agencies, during the last minute of the Ajax victory I was as low as I had ever been but RTE flashed up that
"Tottenham Hotspur" had reached the final etc etc while I was still in match mode. I thought it was a cruel
trick and could not compute. The bestest WTF spoiler I ever received.
To conclude, I'll be a minute behind but come the final whistle, win or lose I will be back. Proud of the lads.
Win or lose.
I've heard of this before. How comes?
