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.
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.
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
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.
How the fuck has one 10 minute spell ruined our entire season
I don’t know. Ask Pogba.
Becuase ye’re spurs, bottling is in your DNA

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.

Keep talking, I’m nearly there……
Just imagining Saruman watching Spurs-Chelsea on the Palantir has me cracking up
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.
I mean look at us last year, some random 10 mins bullshit euro game decimated any hope we had at a title shot
Tottenham 🤝 Arsenal 🤝 Bottling the league due to injuries
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
Yeah its not a bottle for you what so ever. Dudes smoked
A bullshit euro game where we rotated half the squad to avoid injuries aswell
Arsenal : first time ?
Happened to united last season too. Marrinez, varane and garnacho all out when firing so hot coming into the biggest games. Spuds
Mate, it’s Tottenham
What happened to QPR? They used to have a football team, right?
Sadly it’s still there.
Ah yeah, I didn’t look far enough down the table
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.

Poch Voodoo
just be glad it happened near the middle of the season and not near the end to ruin your whole year
The Christmas season usually makes or breaks a season
The league games in the middle of the season are worth the same as the league games at the end of the season
It’s those lemons…
That’s especially low coming from Poch to be putting a lemon curse on us!
Lack of squad depth
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.
More like “if x happened were fucked”, and then it was xxxxxxx
Well yeh, X is always gon’ give It to ya.
I mean you have played 0 mins since the match. at least let there be something to concrete (results-wise) base this on.
Those damn lemons that Poch has in his office!
It is the history of the Tottenham
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.
The curse. Happened with us with Tomiyasu and Saliba vs Sporting. 12 minutes to ruin our title dreams
