By ZoC I don’t want to come across as an old-fashioned, linguistic pedant but if I do, then frankly, I’m not bothered. Noel Gallagher made derogatory comments recently on television about the Spurs motto “To dare is to do”, as reported on a Fighting Cock forum thread by ArtyB. “It doesn’t make sense. You can […]
This is episode 24. There is no 23. It’s dead to us. We don’t like that number much. Footballing reasons. Tribal. You work it out. What we got for you then? We’ve got screaming. We’ve got singing. We’ve got Tottenham. Part I Untidy win versus WBA at the Lane. Bale and the free-roam. Set-pieces. Festive […]
By drwinston001 If you’re a Southampton fan you’d say Gareth Bale’s emergence onto the footballing landscape came in 2006 when he made his debut. I remember hearing about a young kid who was good at free kicks and I was lucky enough to be in Southampton (as it turned out although that’s not how I […]

Welcome to The Fighting Cock universe and thanks for your support. Here’s our Top […]

As I rolled into the office (too many mince pies) yesterday I wondered what would get me through these two irritating days […]
By Sibs (SibsTHFC) January is almost here and we find ourselves sitting pretty at 3rd in the table. I’m sure that we all would have taken this position back in August when we found ourselves 5-1 down to Manchester City at White Hart Lane. The run since those first two games has been phenomenal and […]
It’s Episode 22. Oh yeah baby. We talk up the Sunderland win and ponder Lennon’s injury record and Sandro’s beastly immenseness. Pav gets a pat on the back (the lazy git can’t be bothered to pat himself) and we get consumed with tactical astuteness with shapes and formations. We recorded on Wednesday so we ‘predict/fantasise’ […]
By Wobbly_Desk In just a few hours’ time I’ll be out of work and on my way to the Lane. I can’t wait. Some of my best memories of watching Spurs at the Lane come from this fixture, probably because it stirs up the sort of hatred in me that can only be replicated when […]
