.... of Spurs fack ups.
Hi all, this is my 25 day countdown of Spursy moments, Day 2.
Inter Milan 4 - 3 Spurs
Now this is one of the most memorable matches in Spurs recent history, and arguably the day we made a name for ourselves in Europe. Taking on the Champions League holders in the San Siro, with Bale scoring a remarkable hattrick.
However, in true Spursy fashion, one of our most significant games (even for a Spurs fan) still only counted as a loss.
We all remember the game well, 4-0 down, Gomes getting himself sent off...... no hope, outclassed and outmanned. Then Bale decides to finally step up to the big leagues.
As good as it may have been, we still lost

The way a shiite team like Chelsea did it made it especially annoying!

Has to be between Lasagnagate and top 4 without CL football/Chelsea winning CL due to the scale of the disappointment the repercussions led to i.e. missing out on CL. Third in 2 horse race was bad but we still had a good season and ended up with CL. The rest are individual moments in matches that didn't really effect the overall outcome of the league campaign.

No need to ruin the movie for the rest of us.
I look forward to some decent writing from the OP.

Arsenal must have built up a few of their own over the last decade, haven't they?

Went to Youtube to watch Bale's goals against Inter and ended up watching all 55 of his goals for Spurs.

4-0 up vs newcastle only to draw 4-4 springs instantly to mind

Any good story must have its highs and lows. We've always had a bit of sunshine here and there amongst the grey days.
Nothing like the bleak Russian literature plotline from you lot though.
Apologies to Edin for derailing the thread.

Finishing 4th only for Chelsea to beat Barcelona and Bayern to win it and kick us out has to be the worse.
Could only happen to Spurs

I don't think that was Spursy.
Spursy = snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeez, how can finishing 4th and not getting CL be Spursy?
Spurs could do nothing about Chelsea beating Barca & Bayern. By your own description, it cannot be Spursy.

Sandy tells me he's never got over the pain he felt when we were relegated so that the G00ns could be promoted.
And they say corruption in football is a new phenomenon

I think it is spursy just purely for the fact only we could finish fourth and not qualify for the champions league. In 2005 Everton qualified for the third qualifying round.

I see what you're saying but that type of thing could only happen to Spurs regardless if we could do nothing about it
