Quality reactionary written articles on Tottenham Hotspur. Would you like to write for The Fighting Cock?
Have a discussion with a fellow Spur about youth and the phrases “haven’t had a player break through from the youth setup since Ledley King” and “Bostock and Parrett prove our youth system doesn’t work” tend to come up or something along those lines. Harsh comments in my view seeing as we just sold one […]
It was a preseason friendly yet the importance of Tottenham’s game against Espanyol at White Hart Lane can not be underestimated. It was three new signings first opportunity to play at the Lane and feel the weight of expectation that belonging to Spurs comes with. At Tottenham we spend most of our lives demanding greatness, […]
