Mark Butcher aka Lustdoctor joins Flav, T, Ricky and engineer Al for the penultimate episode of the season. Bricking it. Stoke away, keeping the dream alive. Wigan. Points and form. Huddlestone. 1882 and the U21’s. Palace portaloos and Holmesdale fanatics. Moldova, little figures emerging from the woods and Pringles. Transformers. Prick of the week – […]
The Under 21’s Semi Final of the U21’s against Everton, offered me the perfect chance to experience 1882 for the first time. As an East Stand lower regular, who is used to getting looks for singing at games, I was looking forward immensely to getting involved in the singing aspect of 1882. My mood was […]
After attending and enjoying the 1882 experience at the NextGen series game against Barcelona last year, I vowed to return. When it was announced that our Under 21 Semi Final against Everton, was to be an 1882 event, I immediately contacted my 70 year old granddad and persuaded him to come along. My granddad has […]
After 37 league games last season I wrote an article called ‘What This Season Has Been Missing’. Now, due to a technical hitch somewhere along the line the article never saw the light of day, but I’ll briefly summarise: incredible as it was in many ways, the 2011/12 season seemed to be lacking something.

More than anything else, I will remember the 2012/13 season for the biggest divide amongst supporters of Tottenham Hotspur I can recall in all my 25+ years of following the club. Whilst a large proportion of the fanbase have been won over by AVB’s passion and modern thinking, despite a sceptical start, there is still […]

There’s an 1882 announcement. Prick of the Week. Bale. Windy. Safe Standing. Question for Al. Football in the future. Stoke away. And […]
Yes, the end is nigh for The Fighting Cock’s adopted southern African team, Botswana Meat Commission FC. As the name suggests, the team is backed by the Botswana Meat Commission, a state-owned company that oversees the country’s beef industry. Unfortunately, the Commission is in financial meltdown and is the subject of a parliamentary inquiry where, […]
This article originally appeared on the FSF website. Despite being prohibited by both law and ground regulations, you’ll have noticed that the use of flares, smoke bombs and firecrackers is on the increase at matches. Many fans, young and old, like them and feel they contribute to the atmosphere, but just as many don’t appreciate […]
Flav. Spooky. Drunk Ricky. Charlie. Rob White. Engineer Al. This is The Fighting Cock. Wigan away. Watching the football on Twitter. John Aldridge live in the studio. Bale Bale Bale. Windy’s yoof update. There’s no Southampton preview because Spooky had Wigan mistakenly in the running order twice and Flav slacked with his anchoring. Question for […]
