Quality reactionary written articles on Tottenham Hotspur. Would you like to write for The Fighting Cock?
This article was originally published over at http://www.footballscores.com/ At the beginning of the season I wrote an article on how the modern game of football has passed Jermain Defoe by.

We have had an enjoyable period of superiority over Liverpool in recent years and last night’s visit looked to promise the continuation of that dominance without too much difficulty. Liverpool were on a run of fairly dismal results with one win in their last eight games in all competitions. Their form veering between occasionally playing […]
