Deflated

[Sevens]

It's ridiculous because we've just finished 3rd, our best ever Premiership finish.

And yet I STILL feel utterly deflated. I am still livid at failing to finish ahead of Arsenal. The banter and memes are still relentless even though I am simply not allowing myself to be goaded. To be honest there isn't a single one I've seen that isn't in some way justified. It's the most humiliated I've ever felt as a Spurs fan. One week we're being talked about as title contenders and four weeks later we're an absolute joke.

On my facebook feed I've seen a few interview headers from Spurs players and I don't even want to watch them. I am sick of Spurs players trying to be positive about it or saying what a great season it has been. I wish they'd show some humility, shut the fuck up and let their football do the talking at the beginning of next season. It would have been a great season. It should have been a great season. And yet somehow we still manage to conspire to fuck it up.

I have absolutely zero enthusiasm for the Euros despite this being a promising England team full of Spurs players. I really couldn't give a flying fuck about it. I have never felt as let down by a Spurs team as the team of 15/16 and it's killed my passion for football completely.

Is anyone else still sick as a parrot or am I just going mental?!

Sorry dude, it's probably the latter.

 

[Dougal]

I think you're mental.

Definitely mental, we finished 3rd, had the most exiting season for ages, actually in the title race in April ffs and have masses to look forward to.

Yes it all went a bit tits up at the end, but don't left that lot down the road get you down, fuck em, don't get hung up on em, and actually enjoy being a spurs fan.

I do however agree with you about the euros, I couldn't care less either.

To be honest it was really deflating to finish the season in such a way. I haven't even watched the Newcastle highlights yet and the embarrassing thing was others just said typical Spurs. It was hard to argue with.

But then when you think of it in a wider perspective it's hard not to get really excited. And the other clubs know we're changing and this is why they took so much pleasure in our poor finish to the season.
Focus on where we're going as opposed to a poor final four or five games which was clearly affected by the pressure of a title race, always chasing and the demands of a long hard season, not to mention their relative inexperience.
Hopefully no slow start this time round with the benefit of more experience amongst the group.

I hate Arsenal. I really hate Arsenal. Losing the title to Leicester didn't bother me much. It's been a weird season and Leicester clearly deserved the title.

But Arsenal have been poor and still finished above us and it was completely in our hands until the very last day of the season. Arsenal didn't even have to win more than 50% of their last 4 fixtures to pip us. All we needed to do was win one in four. And we didn't win a single match.

I'm sick of finishing below Arsenal and listening to their smug crap. I am also sickened by the fact the last 20 years they have become a much bigger club than us. I am bitter that we blew it. I'm furious at Poch for stating finishing above Arsenal wasn't important. As soon as I read that I just knew we were going to blow it against them.

I think what really rubs salt into the wounds is that despite finishing above us and 2nd Arsenal fans are still saying how poor they've been and what a bad season it's been for them. And yet they still finish above us in our best ever Prem season. It's just unbelievable. And the way we went down against Newcastle when we had everything still to play for? It's the most humiliated I've ever felt as a Spurs fan by a long way.

I still feel bloody traumatised.

 

[thinktank]

I'm still totally gutted and very upset about it.

Just the way I feel.

Think it'll dissipate once the new season starts.

 

[Dougal]

I'm more embarrassed about that 'you got Kaned' video.

 

[shelfboy68]

Have to agree with you great season that it was no question but the ending was all too spurs, being a lot of talk and promise but will Ultimatley let themselves and us down.
To be honest i still havent watched the second half of the newcastle game and never will, was watching it abroad in a bar and at 2-0 walked out fuming.
The funny thing is that by the time i got back to the mrs who was sitting poolside i got approached by gooners because i had me spurs shirt on, who could not wait to talk to me i wonder way it was then a further 2 hours before i found out the score.
Still as pissed off as i was and still am a bit i really hope we get some decent signings in because Im looking forward to it next year, will we finish above Arsenal probably not again but coys.

I'll get re-energised once we make our first significant signing.

It's taken me a while to get over our finish to the season. But Watching the Champions League final, coupled with the news of our CL games next season at Wembley has got me hyped for next season!

Was a bitter way to end last season, but we have to look forward! We are back in Europe's elite competition against the big boys!

With the new stadium on the horizon, hopefully we will be looking at bigger things then just bragging rights over those lot.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Just remember I once thought Rohan Ricketts is the future of the spurs, and to see the squad we now have and CL football in Wembley, there is no way for me or you to be deflated

 

[Chimbo1]

Jesus, man the fk up lads, great season, exciting euros with an england team dominated by exciting young spurs players, few good signings in the summer and i'll be pumped for next season

 

[easley91]

Just tell any Goons that them celebrating finishing above us by a single point like they won the league is hilarious in itself. Proves they're scared, worried and more obsessed with us than they would have you believe.

 

[eViL]

Man up.

He's not mental at all. The finish to this season threw into question everything poch has achieved.

It hasn't killed my passion though. Just.

 

[Sp3akerboxxx]

What's weird? I'm not on social media either. It's getting to the stage that I actually find it weird that people are still using Facebook.

social media
noun
noun: social media; plural noun: social medias

1. websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking

What's weird is that this site comes under the definition of 'social media'.

So typing 'I'm not on social media' on this forum is like me calling you up to tell you I don't have a phone.
