My best mate’s dad Roger, who lives in South Gloucestershire and is a life long Spurs fan, made the long trek to White Hart Lane for our Europa League game against FC Sheriff. Along with his son, Dan (my best mate), they made a round trip of close to 8 hours to taste 1882 for […]
It’s 5am and my cockerel alarm is ringing in my ears, I don’t want to wake and then I remember, it’s match day, the buzz is instant and like a drug pulls me out of my slumber. It’s up, shower, dress, eat and off to meet the lads (and ladies) to descend on our pilgrimage […]
Taking the long cold walk back across Bruce Park at the unusual & baffling early hour on a Sunday afternoon in my customary (but thankfully infrequent) post loss silence, I began to wonder what would I do differently if I wasn’t a non-playing, middle aged, opinionated know nothing football fan? Quite a lot it appeared […]
In the days before I became a season ticket holder the Park Lane is where I would always buy my tickets. I would sing and celebrate wildly whenever Spurs scored. However, it’s been four years since I got my season ticket in the East Lower close to Paxton Road and in that time I have […]
Missing the point is something that the media have done quite a lot with Spurs recently. They have taken a narrative, tucked it under their arm and run Jonah Lomu style for the nearest printing or web device. We have had to endure a whipping due to the Y-word, smoke bombs, crowd noise and now […]
Queuing up to get in White Hart Lane paranoia set in. There was too much ticker tape on the floor outside the stadium. Was this a backlash from the Villa away game, or had AVB, to prove a point, banned 1882 from attending? In my head I pictured the ticker-tape man slumped up against a burger van weeping […]
There was a time when it was really depressing to be a Spurs fan. A time when waiting up to watch Match of the Day was an arduous task and we were generally wedged into what is nowadays the West Ham/Stoke City slot. However, today Spurs aren’t that team. Today we are a top four/five […]
Jermain Defoe is pure Tottenham Marmite, splitting opinion more often than he scores goals. There are two clear camps, you either love the diminutive striker, or you don’t. I fall squarely in the latter category, however I do appreciate his role as an excellent sub, alternative and backup. I just don’t want him leading our line too […]
When Emmanuel Adebayor arrived at Tottenham on a loan deal from Manchester City, he performed sensationally, being the only player in the league to achieve double figures in both assists and goals. However, after the move was made permanent, his form due to injuries, suspensions, and international tournaments declined rapidly. He did however, return towards […]
