Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

You can all thank me for the win.

Got up at 04.50am to get to the gym before work.
Checked weather - dry.
Got on the train at 05.28am
Threw coffee down my white shirt at 05.50am
Got off train - raining fucking sideways. No coat. No brolly.
Get to work at 9am with loads of work and cancel a coffee meeting at 10am to crack on.
Fucking fire drill kicks us out for an hour at 10 on the dot.
Multiple meetings prevent me catching up on work all day. Bolt at 5pm for the train....
Fire at Hither Green. Trains totally fuckinh fucked.
Try to book an Uber. App needs updating. LB 4g non existent. Watching it. 1%. 2%. 3%. 4%.
FMFL!!!
App updates. Book Uber. Walk to meeting point.
Fucking great big lorry in front of Uber decides to park and unload. I was about to have a nervous, stress induced breakdown at this point when a man in a high vis vest came running towards the driver and basically told him to F off.
Winding through London traffic it's now after 6pm and I'm worried. But as soon as we go through the silvertown tunnel traffic parts and my Uber driver, who doesn't speak a word of English just fucking nails it all the way to Bexley to collect the car.
Eventually reach home at 19.20, finish the takeaway i picked up en route and literally sit down to put the match on with family bang on kick off.

Yesterday my job was to be the bad luck magnet.
And I caught it ALL.

Ah, I still have fond memories of Edmonton Green shopping centre back in the day. The gentle "thud, thud" of bags of dogshit being thrown off the balconies of the flats above onto the roof.

:pochshock:

Have just booked the afternoon off work and going down with the Mrs (driving, lol) and my Son on his 16th birthday. What a present!
 
I watched the match with my Dad, who’s now 82, and my 10 year old son (and my older brother!), a very emotional night getting the three generations together to see us lift a trophy.

My Dad’s responsible for us all supporting Spurs, down to an East Belfast, ex-Glentoran man by the name of Danny Blanchflower captaining us when he was a teenager. My dad went to London for his 18th birthday, caught a couple of important games, in the month of April 1961.

The last time we won a “big” trophy, it was the 1991 FA Cup Final, and give or take a few months, that’s the age my son is now.

He’s a fanatical Spurs fan, he’s almost pleadingly asked me at times when he would see Spurs win a trophy.

So a really special celebration for me at the final whistle.

Just did the school run with the young lad off in his Spurs Bilbao bucket hat.

Just fantastic.

What a fcuking day to be a Spurs fan.
 
I should also mention my younger brother, born in between the 2 legs of the 1984 final. The three of us brothers got together for the Frankfurt home game.

He’s just been sending photos of his school run in his Spurs jersey:ange-arms:
