Quality reactionary written articles on Tottenham Hotspur. Would you like to write for The Fighting Cock?
Some readers will have heard my ramblings on the excellent Fighting Cock podcast and I’ve promised them I’d pen a few words for about two years now. I’d like to take the opportunity to write a short article about a subject I feel very strongly about. As regular listeners to the podcast will know, I’m […]
Heading away from White Hart Lane I struggled to comprehend the one nil Premier League defeat inflicted by Wigan, but most troubling of all was the manner in which Tottenham surrendered the three points. “There are no positives to take from that game, absolutely none.” “The curry stand was giving away free curry, that’s a […]
This article originally appeared on the excellent An Evening with Lustdoctor. Click through and read more. It’s the balls. A trip to White Hart Lane is fast becoming a toxic experience.
