Since the smoke bomb incident at Villa Park it has been suggested that the 1882 movement was involved in some way. This is, categorically, untrue. The 1882 movement is simply a way for likeminded fans to get together and sing a few songs without feeling embarrassed by or ostracised from others in the crowd. It’s […]
As I remember it, we were on the Spurs special returning from Elland Road, Leeds. The team had just put in a goliath performance to come away with a 2-1 victory but the train was in a sombre, almost wake like mood. The fact that one side of the train had had its glass kindly […]
Like most Spurs fans I spend my time obsessing about how Spurs seem to control so many games without truly threatening their opponents. After witnessing a textbook Spurs performance against Aston Villa at the weekend- I’ve come up with is a hypothesis that AVB’s high line is both a blessing and a curse. At the […]

Their away form coupled with our strength at home should have ended Roberto Soldado’s wait for a goal from open play, should have, being the operative words. Many media outlets […]
Italy had been eliminated the day before, so as I pulled on my uncle’s shirt sleeve and informed him that Gazza played for my team, Zio Roberto couldn’t care less. I on the other hand was brimming with pride, here was an England team that boasted current and past Spurs players taking on the best […]
We enter the international break in a fairly strong position sat in 6th position, just three points off the lead.
