How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season

[–] kanavi36@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It do be like that. But tbh idk if this will completely ruin your season. Might be derailed for a bit but there's still 75% of the season to go.

[–] Merkarov@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

With the amount of games happening between now and the new year + then players leaving for afcon and asian games, that's a big chunk of the season we'll be missing vital players, while having fuck all depth

[–] SufficientFerret8124@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

just be glad it happened near the middle of the season and not near the end to ruin your whole year

[–] mattBJM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The league games in the middle of the season are worth the same as the league games at the end of the season

The Christmas season usually makes or breaks a season

[–] Piats99@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know. Ask Pogba.

[–] iKSv2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I mean you have played 0 mins since the match. at least let there be something to concrete (results-wise) base this on.

[–] Cailucci@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It is the history of the Tottenham

[–] gryffindor918@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The curse. Happened with us with Tomiyasu and Saliba vs Sporting. 12 minutes to ruin our title dreams

[–] StratoBird@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Arsenal : first time ?

That’s especially low coming from Poch to be putting a lemon curse on us!

Ah you're at the 'we got injury's our seasons over' stage of Ange ball. Don't worry he'll sign some fucking ballers in January.

[–] sreesid@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Those damn lemons that Poch has in his office!

[–] kruegerc184@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot

[–] BannedFromHydroxy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tottenham 🤝 Arsenal 🤝 Bottling the league due to injuries

[–] Plainbrain867@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s a reach to say spurs were in a position to bottle it this year. This league is City’s until it isn’t

[–] kruegerc184@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah its not a bottle for you what so ever. Dudes smoked

[–] Neat-Shallot-5701@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A bullshit euro game where we rotated half the squad to avoid injuries aswell

[–] Virusaurus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Happened to united last season too. Marrinez, varane and garnacho all out when firing so hot coming into the biggest games. Spuds

[–] FunIrishBean@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Becuase ye’re spurs, bottling is in your DNA

[–] GameplayerStu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Feel like Spurs fans knew the threat was looming because I seen a lot of “if x happens, we’re fucked”. Unfortunately x happened twice in the one match with VDV and Maddison. If anything happens to Son, prepare the eulogy.

[–] rekirts_motnahp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

More like "if x happened were fucked", and then it was xxxxxxx

[–] SouthFromGranada@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately X happened twice

Well yeh, X is always gon' give It to ya.

[–] zxnoregretzxzx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It hasn't ruined your entire season. Spurs are still in a great position now to push for a CL place which would've been well above expectations at the start of the season. Even with your great start a serious title challenge was more fantasy than Lord of the Rings.

[–] noob_wins@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Just imagining Saruman watching Spurs-Chelsea on the Palantir has me cracking up

[–] airz23s_coffee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Most peoples concerns are the push for a CL place.

Lost VDV til potentially January so backlines dodgy. Lost our creative engine for ???. And that's during a really tough run of games.

Then in January we lose Sarr/Biss who've been running the midfield for AFCON, and Son for the Asian cup.

Could be a really derailing run of results from here til February.

[–] dispelthemyth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Keep talking, I’m nearly there…..

[–] conceal_the_kraken@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think you'll be alright for AFCON. Bentancur is back, Hojbjerg is hardly a slouch (and not too dissimilar to Gallagher, who Postecoglou wanted). January is a relatively nice time to lose them too, with not many PL games, no EFL cup semi, and a potentially easy FA Cup draw.

There's also a good chance that most of your other players will be back then. Even just getting Romero back after a few games will put you back into a good position. With no Europe or EFL Cup I don't think you'll be in too bad a position for December.

[–] grey_hat_uk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They've got the top 3 scoring teams in their next 5 games with a weakened backline, that sort of thing can knock confidence quite a bit.

[–] CaptainAureus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lack of squad depth

[–] freudsfather@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Zer0D0wn83@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What happened to QPR? They used to have a football team, right?

[–] ReadsStuff@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Zer0D0wn83@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Ah yeah, I didn't look far enough down the table
