[box type=”info[/linequote]The Fighting Cock fanzine shop is live! You can pre-order issue #1 Ollie Smyth from youtube.com/whatasave joins Flav, Spooky and Ricky for more unedited bewilderment. Everton at the Lane. Holtby. The Hudd/Dembele boogate incident. There’s a meltdown. Steve Clarke and conspiracies. We look ahead to the U21 Spurs v Woolwich game at Underhill and […]
Question: Are we slumping/swooning/collapsing/running out of steam? Answer: No. First, have a look at our possession statistics: I include both BBC’s and Opta’s statistics, because while they’re often very similar, sometimes they’re not. But in both cases, the five-game trend is similar: we’ve dipped a bit in the past few weeks, but we’re still keeping […]
It was a game that Spurs needed to win, but even more importantly, they couldn’t afford to lose.

For years the light-footed winger has been twisting and turning his way past right backs and centre backs alike, his speed and low centre of gravity makes him an ideal man […]
It’s that time of year when people start to get twitchy at the Lane, with or without Harry Redknapp around, and if you’re like me, you’ll want to make sure that everything you contribute to the team at this nerve-shredding juncture is positive. For Spurs to avoid another season that ends in disappointment, not only […]
It’s a show cooked with delicious guests. Goslingesque anchorman Flav hosts Troy Townsend (the father of Andros), Mark Butcher aka Lust Doctor and the wonderfully Spursy Rob White.
