Tottenham have come a long way since Andre Villas-Boas sent his team out for their first home fixture in 2012. Back then the club was fragmented, fans split and opinions two a penny. Some lamented the way in which Harry Redknapp was sacked, others doubted a man who had been ousted by the changing room […]
For fans of science fiction the saying: “This is the end, but the moment has been prepared for” cloister bells will be ringing in their heads. For those uninitiated, these poignant words are the last uttered by Tom Baker’s 4th Doctor, who left the show in 1981 to be replaced by Peter Davison. This may […]
This is a difficult article to write. It goes against the self-interest of the majority of our loyal, match-going fan base and takes a view not often seen in Spurs social media circles. Many have vented their outrage at the clubs actions and I’m sure they will continue to do so after reading this. However, I feel […]
