It even happens to Man City. Look at their efforts to sign Mangala. It was supposed to be in January, but fell through. Then City announced it last month on their website and showed a video of him signing. Only it didn't happen until this week.

I don't think we "hit the post in the dying minutes" as the Spurs fanzine says. I don't think either side had an attack worth mentioning in the entire 2nd half.
