Quality reactionary written articles on Tottenham Hotspur. Would you like to write for The Fighting Cock?
It is fair to say ever since Mousa Dembele’s recurring hip injury came to the surface Spurs have not been the same team. Our summer signing from Fulham appeared to be proving to the White Hart Lane faithful that he could indeed replace Luka Modric in our side, and be just as effective if not […]
Ladies and gentlemen. There’s a war happening. The most complicated war there’s ever likely to be. Its got more sides in it than both world wars combined and yet its battles are fought out in the smallest of areas with the simplest of weapons. There are no alliances. There are no treaties. Some participants are […]
A rush of blood, lacklustre defending and more than one passenger are just a few of the contributing factors to what were a dismal Saturday lunchtime, and a plummet to the nadir after a bad sequence of results. Cue hysteria. For the reactionaries among the faithful the 5-2 reverse was an overkill of hammering nails […]
Jubilant Woolwich fans spent their Saturday afternoon on various social media sites proclaiming that they had beaten Spurs 5-2, again. Their joy and unmitigated delirium started mass finger-pointing amongst the Tottenham Hostpur faithful, but who is really at fault for another five-goal captiulation?

Sky Sports are obsessed with the notion of having matches become ‘adverts’ for the Premier League. They want goals, cards, emotional atmospheres and controversy. They want nothing more than the fixture to follow a narrative, entertain the neutrals, deliver the unexpected and provide enough ammunition for a classic post-match montage. They may trivialise the north […]
Rickie Lambert soared through the air at The Dell, the Tottenham defenders could only stare as he connected with a Matt Le Tissier cross and powered the ball past Ian Walker. On the side lines a 3 foot AVB was picked up by Glenn Hoddle and punted into the away stand where two large fans […]
After the success of the Maribor game, where 300 or so 1882 took over block J and sung their hearts out for the boys for 90 mins, everyone is itching to go again. So great news then that against Panathinaikos on 6th December, 1882 will be in in blocks 32/33 on request from the club. […]
