Quality reactionary written articles on Tottenham Hotspur. Would you like to write for The Fighting Cock?
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. However, there has been one glaring weakness over the opening seven games of the season: goal scoring. With just six goals scored so far we trail the current top scorers (Manchester City) by 11 goals, […]
With the arrival of seven players over the summer transfer window, expectations were always going to be high around White Hart Lane. Those expectations are based largely on the fact that our transfer record was broken three times, first for Paulinho, then for Roberto Soldado and finally with the signing of Erik Lamela.

A few weeks ago we went on Jeremy Vine’s BB2 radio show to talk to David Baddiel about Tottenham Hotspur fan’s use of the Y-word.

Part of the Premier League’s Education programme that they offer to academy scholars means that those over their two years get a Level 2 FA […]
If ever there was a striker that deserves a spot in the Tottenham team, it’s Jermain Defoe. In my eyes he’s a Spurs legend. To this date he has scored 140 goals making him the fourth highest goal scorer for Spurs in our illustrious history. That in itself makes a mockery of why he’s never […]
This isn’t a Call to Arms. We’re not suggesting anyone be a martyr on Sunday. We do believe though that as a Tottenham Hotspur supporter, Jewish or otherwise, you have a right to say/chant the word ‘yid’. That’s our opinion. It’s not a fact in the eyes of the law. Talking of the law, if […]
