I was told just recently that it wasn’t a writers job to be liked, but to challenge the way people think. That said, it seems that while the majority of our clubs fan base have spent the best part of the start of the season pointing fingers at one another, passing around ‘the blame’ quicker […]
Thursday 13 September 2012 will stay with me until dementia erodes away the last pieces of my conscious mind. It is the day that my rebirth as a football fan was complete; It is the day that this game found its way back into my heart. The day many of us will forever remember as […]
When Arjen Robben fluffed his penalty deep into extra time at the Allianz Arena, the “nightmare” of the Europa League became a reality. Trips to far flung corners of Europe, a lack of Saturday 3pm kickoffs and perhaps worst of all, ITV4 or Channel 5 commentary. But then something occurred to me: Why don’t we […]
If you listened to last week’s podcast you probably noticed that we conducted an interview with journalist, author, and proper Spurs fan Jeff Maysh. (If you want to hear it again scroll to the bottom of this page.) A couple of seasons ago Jeff put together a book, Lilywhite & Blue, that chronicles the history of our […]

Like 10,000 others, I will be attending White Hart Lane on Thursday night to see our Academy side take on the prodigious talents of Barcelona’s illustrious La Masia development centre. But really the result of the game holds no importance to the home faithful, and you can be assured not a single boo will be […]
It’s only natural human instinct to reject things we don’t understand. For immediate illustration of the inherent truth of this pop-sociology catchphrase, look to the chorus of boos that followed Andre Villas-Boas and his Tottenham side back into the dressing rooms at White Hart Lane last week, after the squad failed for the third occasion […]
I need to say sorry and ask for your acceptance… My name is Dave and I am 39 – I have two kids, a dog, and a love of Spurs. Unlike most supporters I can’t give a romantic story around why I love the club – most of my friends were West Ham fans. I […]
