It Can Only happen To Tottenham Hotspur

So we sit here gutted yet again after another FA Cup semi-final defeat... I've lost count now how many semis I've seen us lose over the years ..... A cup run gets us all up dreaming of a sunny day in May, where our club is showered in glory and everybody has memories of that day forever etched in their thoughts ... However this season I didnt want it , in fact this season after the start in our premeirship campaign , I were hoping for a Martin Jol like exit from the domestic cups ( first round exits) so that we could concentrate on what for me has always been the priority, the league and that 4th spot . I just could see it , see that the FA Cup this year would end up proving to be a hindrance rather than a tale of glory...

Had we not been involved today , we wouldnt have had to put up with the treacherous O'Hara in the ITV studio rooting for the club he's on loan at rather than for the club he's contracted too... Has this situation ever happened before ? Of course not, it can only happen to us, you couldnt make it up ! If there is a clause in the loan deal where we can recall, O'Hara, we should do it and do it now ...

Had we not been involved today we couldve been playing the Goons yesterday , just days after Barca had destroyed them but oh no , we have to be involved in a stamina sapping game on a Wembley skating rink arena , not for 90 mins but 120 !
A perfectly good goal dissallowed , just ask David James, Mr Wiley and chance after chance squandered too .... With minutes of the game to run, I tried to draw on any positives from the debris of this hard to take enivitible defeat and I found one, miniscule as it is but for us, I felt important one . Wilson had not been booked! .......OOOOh and just as I were thinking it , Pompey broke away as we desperately searched for an equaliser .... Who's that running back doing his best to stop a second goal , please let it not be Wilson .. Ah it is Wilson , but great tackle by the Sergeant ! Now get it upfield for one last attempt on their charmed goal ... Ops silly me I forgot, its Mr Wiley in charge and his pointing to the penalty spot and he's also getting the yellow card out ! All those games avoiding a card and with minutes to go, the Footballing Gods are having yet another laugh at the expense of our beloved Spurs! Wilson will now miss the games against the Goons and the Chavs ...Any positives we could've had playing the Goons yesterday instead of Wednesday all thrown away and once the final whistle had blown I quickly flicked over to Sky Sports One to see that Man City had won 5-1 , a team who seem to know how to put the ball into the net ... Oh that damned FA Cup

All that remains, is for Spurs to be like Spartan warriors in the remaining premeirship games, hopefuly have Lennon back and a little luck on our side too if we're going to nick that 4th spot....
It's time for us all to go and prey to the Footballing Gods as surely today, they will have thought we have been punished more than enough and it's time for some other teams fans to suffer ..
COYS!!!

nice post arnie, probably sums up exactly how most of us feel tonight,but for me i love a good cup run like we had, 4th place would have been great yeah but its not the be all and end all for me. sorry to sound negative but i just dont think we are up to that standard yet and i think 4ths gone now mate.

Im gutted to lose a semi as much as another Yid, Shear but I had a feeling it was gonna end something like this and it has too ....Cant give up on the league just yet, not while the mathmatics are still there ...

Beat the Goons on Wednesday and this will all be forgotton ...coys !

the refs are useless. the ref bottling given villa a pen yesterday then not sendin off terry. then again in the carling cup final. these refs are scared of fergie wenger and co. thats why i like the eropean refs. man u losen last wedn at home and they only got 3mins, would of been 5 if it was a prem ref

Cant be negative with the Goon game on the horizon , Baz ...Thats not the Spurs way ..

Champions League here we come !

thats it now , im opening another stella thats just rubbing salt in the wounds lol

at least we fouled em once more than they got us.

Oh Jeez Arnie you've opened the floodgates now lol. Spartans stand strong and defend the pass . . . . . . . . .

now your talken arnie. all bentley does is run 5yards pretends to cross. does an obiviosu trick then runs another 5 yards and floats the bal in. ask any sstriker the best crosses are the 1ns hit in with pace, makes it so much easyer 2 score from them ones. bentley just to slow to be a winger.
as for adel it would of been nice havin him on today as we rely to much on bale pace, imagine adel trickery aganst rocha.
another thing is i think our players are somtimes too greedy. wana be the here. i felt that with pav today. and im always seeing that wiv jermain i cantscoreaganstbigteams defoe

Yep , agree with you Lougthan , Bentley is so frustrating .....Adel or Bentley for me is a no brainer .....

Right I'm outta here ....Leave you all and Lew too of course, with deserved rep points for being here at this time of night on such a grim day .....catch you all laters ..coys !!
