Quality reactionary written articles on Tottenham Hotspur. Would you like to write for The Fighting Cock?
Can’t quite believe it happened? Doesn’t make sense? Chances are it was the CIA, Illuminati, or Daniel Levy. “What? you’re an idiot! Daniel Levy wasn’t responsible for the JFK assassination, or faking footage of the man on the moon?” But if you have lurked on Twitter or any forums for the last few days you […]
First game back at the lane for me on Saturday. I was on muddy Clapham Common last week, having a whale of a time watching Chase and Status. I usually go to the Spurs with my old man. We always talk through the game before, during and afterwards. I do the same with my my […]
Back in May, when Harry was still manager and the season was coming to a close, I made some polls on The Fighting Cock forum, based on a 4-4-2 formation as to who we wanted to keep and who we wanted to sell. After the votes were counted, our desired first XI looked a little […]
Young-Pyo Lee, Vedran Corluka, Kevin Prince Boateng, Niko Kranjcar, and Rafael van der Vaart are examples of big name signings on transfer deadline day for Spurs in recent years. While on the other hand, Roman Pavlyuchenko, Jermaine Defoe, and most notably Dimitar Berbatov have all left with only hours to go in the window, and […]

We were making double swoops for Argentine heroes when Tevez and Mascherano were nothing more than a glint in their fathers’ eyes. Klinsmann was making the leap from AS Monaco in […]
Morecambe and Wise, Del Boy and Rodney, Sooty and Sweep and to a lesser extent Ant and Dec, these are names of some great British double acts over the years, but none of the above will live in lilywhite memory like Ledley King and Michael Dawson. Although Dawson may never be remembered with quite the […]
To me, White Hart Lane is my church and unfortunately no matter how nice and shiny the new stadium is it will never be quite the same. I’m sure I’m not the only Tottenham fan out there that views the impending Northumberland Development Project with a considerable degree of trepidation. Don’t get me wrong the […]
At a time when Croatian pigeons are fleeing the nest for Spanish pastures and teams are asking for over 20 million quid for any old pile of s***, it’s good to see we have some young talent to fall back on when times do get really hard. Caulker looks every inch a future England centre […]
