Alright, so the other day I was messing around with this phrase, “lads, it’s Tottenham,” right? You know, the one that Spurs fans dread and everyone else loves to throw around whenever they bottle it. I wanted to see if I could, I dunno, make something fun with it. Maybe a meme, maybe a short video, I wasn’t sure.
First, I dug around for some classic Tottenham moments. You know, the ones that really make you go, “yep, that’s Spursy.” I’m talking last-minute goals conceded, dodgy penalties, own goals… the whole nine yards. I spent a good hour just scrolling through YouTube and Twitter, finding clips that perfectly captured that “oh no, not again” feeling.
Then, I fired up my video editing software. It’s nothing fancy, just something basic I use for quick edits. I started throwing in the clips I found, trying to arrange them in a way that built up the, uh, “drama.”
My editing process
- Imported all the dodgy moments.
- Trimmed them down to just the key bits – you know, the moment right before it all goes wrong.
- Added some dramatic music. Something that builds tension.
- Arranged everything. The clips were playing.
Next, I needed that perfect audio clip. You know, the one where the commentator or a fan just screams, “lads, it’s Tottenham!” in that perfect, exasperated tone. I actually found a few different versions, so I experimented with which one fit best with the video. It was all about finding the right level of despair, you know?
Once I had the audio and video synced up, I added some text overlays. Just simple stuff, like “Oh no…” or “Here we go again…” above the clips. I wanted to really hammer home the point, you know? Make it super obvious that, well, it’s Tottenham.
Finally, I watched the whole thing back a few times, tweaking the timing and making sure the music and text all lined up perfectly. It took a few tries, but eventually, I had something I was pretty happy with.
It’s not going to win any awards, but it’s a fun little thing that perfectly captures the spirit of that phrase. And hey, at least I got a good laugh out of it, even if Tottenham fans might not appreciate it quite as much.
