Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
I think you mean James Maw?? He’s a regular on the Podcast hosted by Danny Kelly. He’s an Editor not a writer (he used to be the editor at FourFourTwo magazine). I think he’s fucking terrible, easily one of the most depressing Spurs fans you will ever meet, he has the tactical nouce of a snail.
What was said to misquote? I never saw the original piece...
However, THudd (along with Crouchie) are a few of the ex-Sours players emerging in the media, with an articulate, measured, and (crucially) PRO Spurs voice.... problem is, they're still a bit under the radar when it comes to mainstream media.
This is something I feel should be in the Media Bias section as they have perpetuated this nonsense.
I am seriously sick of the "Spurs don't win anything" tagline we have.
If they're talking in recent times, who outside of the other top 6 HAS won anything in England top flight football outside of one time wins by the likes of Leicester, Wigan & Birmingham?
Why don't the likes of Newcastle, who have won NOTHING (except the Championship) since 1969 get the same crap thrown at them?
Why don't the Goons, who have bottled the league title more times than ANYONE, not to mention their constant failings in Europe get anything close to that thrown at them?
Regardless of how long ago it was since we last won a trophy, we've got 2 League title wins (one of which was part of the first double in the 20th century), 8 FA Cup wins, 4 League Cup wins and 3 European Trophies.
There is literally about 5-7 clubs in England who have a better trophy record than us, yet it's always us who gets it "never win anything" tagline and I'm beyond tired of it.
OK, rant over, had to get that off my mind...

2 League Cups "since Football was invented in 1992" is partly to blame I reckon!!
Just the wording of this is what irks me...

The notion that TOTTENHAM are going in for Gallagher 'cos of the cut price nature of the deal plays directly into the hands of people who still portray us as tight fisted Jews who are always looking out for a bargain!
...and what, Aston Villa aren't doing that???
Yet THEY don't get lumped in with the same assumption... Just us!
I know it sounds 'tin-hat'... but there does always seem to be an undercurrent of anti-Semitism connected to the hatred where we're concerned...
Cos, as we're CONSTANTLY being reminded, it can't be bourne out of JEALOUSY, cos apparently we've won NOTHING!!
so it HAS to be something else!
THIS is why people with no apparent history with us, still hate us...
Tottenham join Aston Villa in the race to sign Gallagher
SAMI MOKBEL: Chelsea are under pressure to comply with the Premier League's PSR guidelines and because Gallagher is an academy raised player he would represent pure profit.

Also it's just patently wrong. We've been strongly linked with Gallagher at least in the last summer window.So Villa are joining us, not the other way around.Just the wording of this is what irks me...

This undercurrent theme always seems to be there.
Yeah James Maw offers very little to that podcast. Just kind of there. Eccleshare is a loss I think. Despite his apparent support for the arse, he was really good.
I really really don't want this tosser in a Spurs shirt. Happily I'm confident it will not happen. Why so many can forgive this for Chelsea's Todd Cantwell I can not fathom. We can do better in every way.Also this:
Yeah, and I wonder why there's an uneasiness between the clubs...?
...anything to do with them being a club with a particularly nasty racist core within its' fanbase?
Trust Das Tägliche Mail to gloss over that uneasy fact, and suggest it's Spurs' problem with THEM!
Heard one report on the England squad today. " Southgate has released Harry Maguire, Jack Grealish, Curtis Jones and TOTTENHAM'S James Madison.'
Just weird.
Just weird.
Agree , it just ain't happening
Classic case of "When you see it, you see it...!"
It's the ONLY VAR case worth debating.
Honest to God, if the '1' in the 19-1 had've been Liverpool rather than Wolves, they'd have scrapped it!

...and I assume ALL FOUR have understandably left the camp, and now returned home....
It was it JUST James Maddison who STORMED OFF?
I think Madders' social media post was to head that nonsense off at the pass.
