If it were United it'd be a choke. When you were clearly better and yet still found a way to lose...yeah sorry, it's a choke.

Of course the rival fans are going to eat that up, and have fun while you can. Did you put money on Spurs? It was hardly a formality, and just because a team has the upper hand it doesn't mean they win. That happens quite often, and yeah it's disappointing to be on the losing side of that because you feel as though they should've been able to score another goal or two and take their chances. But every time a team loses doesn't mean that they've bottled it.
