To be fair that's the definition of bottling. You were ahead at the half way stage. You boys look the better side. You boys became the favourites and were well ahead in the tie.

Then crunch time came and you capitulated in the most spursy of ways

No. We failed to respond quickly enough to a tactical change. That’s not bottling it.

Anyway, let’s see what you Chavs have to say when Barca’s finished with you!..?

Lol . I'm not expecting us to go through though although if we were 1 up with 2 away goals at the bridge against Barca and lost I would agree we bottled it
 
Surely even the most arduous Spurs fan can accept they bottled it big style against Juve?

3-2 ahead with 3/4 of the tie done meaning Juve needed two more.

You outplayed them for 3/4 of the tie yet lost because you're so Spursy.

Yep it was classic Spursy that. They'll probably get to the semi-final of the FA cup, be winning 1-0 with 15 mins to go and go all Spursy again.
 
Spurs have definitely got the bottlers tag, which is something they are only going to shake off by winning a pot.

For all the plaudits they receive, they are still a club who haven't won anything for a decade, and even then only have a couple of league cups to show for the last 27 years. Even Wigan and Portsmouth have had more recent success.
 
You did bottle it against Juve to be fair. Firmly in the driving seat with two away goals and a lead and the inexperienced heads just went. Too naive to get the game won, Pochettino just had no answers.

Spurs also had no pressure on them last season, they were never in the title race, its like us saying we kept pace with city by being constantly 15 points behind them during the last 10 games.
You are mixing up bottle and experience. Yes we were naïve, but the performance was brave and so nearly went to extra time. You have to gain experience and we will have learned loads.

That's funny, you were experienced enough to beat Real Madrid this season.

It rubbish, Spurs blew a big opportunity to progress by losing their heads when the pressure got cranked up.

Was there an echo of glory in that latest failure ?
