Supporting Tottenham Hotspur is not something you simply choose to do; it’s a vocation, a directive from above, a randomly assigned genetic code over which you have no control. Once Tottenham has you, like a Darth Vader choke hold, it never lets go.
From the wizardry of Gazza, Bale and Waddle, to the misery of bad lasagna and Arjen Robben penalty misses, all of this is part of what makes Spurs such a unique and wonderful club to follow.
You will find me most days chained to a desk where I finance my Spurs addiction by working on B2B editorial or, thanks to my lowly Bronze Membership somewhere in Blocks 29 through to 32 at White Hart Lane.

There was a time when it was really depressing to be a Spurs fan. A time when waiting up to watch Match of the Day was an arduous task and we were generally wedged into what is nowadays the West Ham/Stoke City slot. However, today Spurs aren’t that team. Today we are a top four/five […]
Jermain Defoe is pure Tottenham Marmite, splitting opinion more often than he scores goals. There are two clear camps, you either love the diminutive striker, or you don’t. I fall squarely in the latter category, however I do appreciate his role as an excellent sub, alternative and backup. I just don’t want him leading our line too […]
When a player suffers a long term injury something peculiar happens amongst the fans. The longer they spend on the treatment table, the more their reputation swells. They become a symbol of all that is great, their flaws slowly fade from consciousness and all that remains are their qualities. Its like thinking back to your […]
Finally after a two week break it’s time to get back to the meat and potatoes of football, the Premier League. It’s not to say that this past week or so hasn’t been interesting, England’s qualification for the World Cup, down in no small part to Andros Townsend’s exuberance and sheer belief in his ability […]
Italy had been eliminated the day before, so as I pulled on my uncle’s shirt sleeve and informed him that Gazza played for my team, Zio Roberto couldn’t care less. I on the other hand was brimming with pride, here was an England team that boasted current and past Spurs players taking on the best […]
Before the game started, a comment went round on Twitter complementing how strong our bench was. To be fair it was pretty impressive, over £80 million worth of talent, were treated to a pitch side view of our dismantling by West Ham. Andre Villas-Boas has got a lot right since he arrived at Spurs, but […]
There are very few places happier than White Hart Lane when Spurs score a goal against their rivals. The sheer impact of noise and celebration sweeps across the stands pushing every single thought from your mind, even in some cases the name of the goal scorer. You know something great has happened, you know its […]
Before I had time to comprehend what had just happened, the ball found itself at the feet of Roberto Soldado. Watching on a stream that thankfully hadn’t stuttered in a few minutes I was convinced this was our break through, it wasn’t. Instead we had to endure another 30 minutes of tension and David Marshall making […]
Madness it has been declared, dangerous says AVB, personally I think it’s brilliant. After a saga filled summer, tennis and some match involving a barbecued wicket and a wooden ball, three Spurs games in a week? Every Spurs fan will be delighted, especially if they are all as easy as the Tromso home game. Next […]
