Quality reactionary written articles on Tottenham Hotspur. Would you like to write for The Fighting Cock?
Respect is a word that seems to have lost all meaning in the modern English game. Most players are ruled by the mighty dollar and anyone old enough to expect any significant amount of loyalty from them is sniggered at. Believe it or not there was a time when players did play for the shirts […]
Tottenham came into this game off an impressive result against a less than impressive team in Georgia. Andros Townsend after a strong performance in the Europa League tie and thanks to injury to Aaron Lennon, was given his first start at White Hart Lane against Swansea. The starting line up consisted of Etienne Capoue (who […]
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.
