Deflated

[Archibald&Crooks]

Thank fuck this ain't SheffieldWednesday Community or AtleticoMadrid Community this morning.

Them poor fuckers have got a real reason to be (and stay) sick.

Although the insults keep coming at work from the gooners, Im pretty much over it now.

For me the more worry is how we actually collapsed in those last 4 games, makes me have major doubts that we'd be able to see anything through should we be in a decent position in April next year.

We should have been out of sight first half in all of those games except Newcastle...inexperienced rather than collapse except the last game.

I think we will be ok ....so long as we learn from where we went wrong, especially losing our heads.

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.

When it comes to categorizing it in a business context, I.e. advertising then forums are viewed as a pre-cursor to "real social media". The same with blogs etc. There are no social media divisions of a company that look at the company's presence on WordPress.

Forums are typically regarded as a different medium to that of Facebook, Twitter, instagram, tumblr etc.

Yeah well deflated, absolutely devastated to miss out on a CL place.

Honestly, sort it out - grown men getting upset over a little banter and some names

REALLY?

REALLY???

It was a blessing in disguise.

If we had finished 2nd, we would all have been waxing lyrical about how far we have come etc, etc. However, Poch and the fans know that there is still a mental weakness in the team that needs to be rectified.

I am glad it came to the fore when we realistically had nothing to play for. Yes it was extremely agitating to finish behind the scum again. However, they will be forever in the history books as the team that lost the title to Leicester and not us!

Boring thread is boring.



Get over it. They'll let you down time and time again, it's what Spurs do. Embrace it.

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?!

I was very pissed off on the Sunday but to be honest, I have calmed down now and I am looking forward to the Euros, even with Wilshere in the squad.

Come on, its over now. Time to move on, onwards and upwards

As supporters we can say that but I would be disappointed if Porch and the players glossed over things like that. They should be analysing why our form collapsed for the second season in the row.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

I'm over it. Looking forward to the Euros and next season.

 

[RichieS]

Yes, I agree. Failing to finish above the scum was a bit irritating.

And that's all it was. Poch was absolutely right when he said finishing above/below them only matters if one of us is first and the other second.

To me, what happened is obvious - we thought we had a serious shot at the title after the United and Stoke performances but then Leicester had the opportunity to play before us for the 57th week in a row and absolutely annihilated Swansea, at which point it was realistically over. Even so, we performed plenty well enough against West Brom to batter them, but contrived to hit the woodwork 3 times before they were even in the game (one of these being a bloody ridiculous save, if I remember rightly). It was't the 'pressure' that got to us in the end, it was the extinguishing of hope that came from Leicester being absolutely relentless (and our inability to ever put them under any serious pressure due to forever playing after them). The players (and management) put so much into the title challenge that once it was gone they had nothing left to give. A mark of youth/inexperience? Absolutely. Something to hold against them and a sign of "mental fragility"? Absolutely not.

Poch was absolutely right when he said finishing above/below them only matters if one of us is first and the other second.

perhaps from his (& apparently your) perspective

From mine finishing above them will always matter no matter what the relative position.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

What Newscastle game?

How do you know they haven't? Perhaps Poch & Mitchell being pictured at the Ireland game the other night is a result of previous analysis sessions?

At last a common sense reaction, the end of the season has prevented us papering over the cracks and lowers expectations next season.

I am saying he should, not that he hasn't done it, I would bet that he has whether he finds the right solution is a different matter. I wouldn't be surprised if last season was as good as it gets under Poch's reign, Chelsea, man u, city will be throwing huge amounts of money around and so will pool to a lesser extent. Chelsea and. Man u also have no CL football. We didn't beat our highest points total last season, I think we have to do that if we are to qualify for the CL next season.

And destroyed any sense of progression and a desperately needed change of mental fortitude. Great

Sugar-coat it as much as you like, it ended a largely positive season on a bum note.

 

[mil1lion]

Jesus Christ people really need to get over it. The end of the season does not define our entire season. This is the beginning not the end for fuck sake.

 

[DaSpurs]

REALLY???

The banter doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't even live in the UK, so don't even have to see much of it.

What bothers me is that this team thought they were above the culture of failure, were something new, but ultimately collapsed when it counted. Now, as this young team continues to grow together, that seed of doubt will always remain, no matter what. It is a persistence of the weakness when we were handed such a remarkable opportunity to overcome it which bothers me, not the worthless banter.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

No it didn't.
