Guantanamo Lane
The torture of visiting the Lane continues as East London Lazio claim a second consecutive victory at White Hart Lane.
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.

Its still very early to talk about crunch and/or season defining games, but sometimes reality needs to come early. The excuses need to stop as Spurs travel to Man City.
Heat maps, arrows and stats, overreaction, followed by under reaction. Inverted wingers, congestion and ball retention. Moving it quick, switching play, deep lying playmaker, sweeper keepers, false nines, false tens, false fans and phony wars. The why on the Y-word, the smoke bombs, the attempted murder of Hugo, the lack of atmosphere, a social media […]
Missing the point is something that the media have done quite a lot with Spurs recently. They have taken a narrative, tucked it under their arm and run Jonah Lomu style for the nearest printing or web device. We have had to endure a whipping due to the Y-word, smoke bombs, crowd noise and now […]
Queuing up to get in White Hart Lane paranoia set in. There was too much ticker tape on the floor outside the stadium.
