Because we tend to also get:

Losing to a bottom of the table Portsmouth in an Fa Cup Semi.

Adebayor bouncing up to a penalty to put it over the bar against Basel.

Mendes non goal vs Mata/Lampards goals that never crossed the line.

Losing to the likes of PAOK

The moments you listed make most of it worthwhile. We are constantly entertaining though

Yes! Exactly! None of this boring winning 1-0 every week, it's a rollercoaster!

Poor old Annie.
Supporting Spurs among the hordes of Poool / Man Utd irish makes him akin to the Goth loner in class.

My brother and I are both Spurs supporters. Our dad is a diehard Arsenal fan.

He moans and complains about them non stop.

The first real memories I have of Spurs is in the mid 70s, when my dad and granddad would be over sunday lunch, as the Big Match showed yet highlights of another Spurs match autopsy.

And yet I probably enjoyed most the 1977-78 season in Div 2.
Supporting the team for the fun of it. None of the grief or stress of the results until the final two games of the season.
As a kid, ignorance really is bliss.

R2 and of course Tottenham 9 - Bristol Rover 0......

My first memory of Spurs was my football 80 annual. I had about ten Barry Daines swaps.

"I had about ten Barry Daines swaps."

Even in stickers he was hard to get rid of.

i used to have rows on here with people accusing me of only supporting Spurs because Modric, Kranjcar and Corluka played for us

I am Croatian and up until about 2008 i didn't support anybody but then started to follow Spurs during what was to be a good few years from 2008 onwards. The acid test came when the Croats departed spurs but i knew way before then that Spurs were the team for me. It's hard to explain where it stems from as a lot of you might agree, i guess its to do with the aura of the club, getting down to WHL gave me tingles like no other ground. We played some great stuff back then as well which helped

I don't regret supporting Spurs at all. It makes watching football a lot more engaging because you end up getting involved through going to select games yourself, watching out for team news etc... wheras before it was just a case of watching MOTD once a week

"i used to have rows on here with people accusing me of only supporting Spurs because Modric, Kranjcar and Corluka played for us"

And we've had to use the claim that Halilović is signing, to keep you here. <plasticric>

Well OP, at least you can't be accused of glory hunting like every other fan from Ireland. Fair play to you.

Messiah I can totally agree with you mate, everyone at my school was United, Arsenal, Liverpool think it was me and my best mate who were Spurs fans in the whole year. Growing up going to watch Spurs late 90's early 2000's it was horrible but it was enjoying because we never expected too much

Got a season ticket 03/4 season with no waiting list , was facking amazing. I could have gone for a bit of glory hunting but fack no, love being a Spurs fan through the Shiite times and good times.

Agree 100% with this. The crushing disappointments only make the good times better.

Suffocation makes the climax better, so I've heard

"Suffocation makes the climax better, so I've heard"

Thank God he's banned (again) from Spurs 606. :D

Hope you don't mind me commenting on this Messiah but it touched a chord with me.

I started supporting Chelsea as a 5 year old in the mid 60's,for the most random of reasons. They were a decent team then but I wasn't aware of how good or bad they were - they were literally the first team I'd ever heard of and I liked the name.

At the North Birmingham Comprehensive I went to, I was outnumbered by Villa and Man Utd fans (Liverpool were just another club then as their national fan base hadn't yet grown with their success). It would have been easy to bite the bullet and follow the crowd but Chelsea was by now too deeply ingrained in me.

As I got to school leaving age and was able to go to games without being taken by my father, all my earnings were spent on following them the length and breadth of the country. By now we had dramatically declined and sunk to the old 2nd division, another two relegations followed and narrowly escaped the clutches of the old 3rd div.

My travels took me to grounds like Edgar Road, Bootham Cresent, Blundell Park, and Eastville. I used to go with fellow Chelsea fans from the midlands I'd met over the years, we used to go expecting defeat and the joy of a rare victory was oh so sweet.

Despite some really poor crowds in that time it always amazed me how we could still sometimes attract gates of over 55,000 in the 2nd tier.

Despite those times I could never explain the pride that welled up inside me when some one asked me who I supported and I'd proudly announce, "Chelsea" and watch the suprised look on their face.

Nearly 50 years on, whilst not being able to go to every game as I used to, I still try and get to at least 15/20 games a season and that pride still burns deep inside me.

I guess, to explain that feeling to a non football fan is next to impossible.
