I’m going cold turkey. My football team are playing right now and I’m not taking the slightest bit of interest. I’m not at the ground. I’m not watching on the TV. I’m not listening on the radio. I’m not even following it on the internet. I couldn’t care less. (That last one’s a lie.) I […]
For Spurs fans the international break has never been such a welcome respite. Key individuals Aaron Lennon and Michael Dawson can enjoy two weeks of recuperation and hopefully, England’s performance or possible lack of one, will allow us to forget anything to do with blips and capitulations. With quite a number of our players off […]
In 2004, the book We Are Tottenham was published. It was the first book Adam Powley and I had been commissioned to write, and it was an idea we’d had for some time. We’d both been going to see Spurs since we grew up in North London in the 1970s. For Adam, it was in […]

When the second of Gareth Bale’s free-kicks whistled into the net, the stadium as one rose to applaud a fantastic player. The Welshman has been my favourite player for the last few years, his speed, skill and strength worth the entrance fee alone, there is no doubting he is a class act but: Is Gareth […]
The Fighting Cock is delighted to announce that there is to be another 1882 at a youth game at the Lane – almost a year since we attended our first game. Last September we played Barcelona in the NextGen Series and there was around 700 Spurs fans in the 1882 section. It was a brilliant […]
Deep within the catacombs at Anfield, two men are sat around a table talking football. The lights have been dimmed, three envelopes lay on the table and its Saturday afternoon, less than a day until both Tottenham and Liverpool are knocked out by lower league opposition in the FA Cup fourth round. “So, Brendan, so […]
“Maybe I’m just being cynical,” said Gary Neville, in his post-match analysis on Sky Sports.
