    A lesson for Harry from "Goliath"

    Not the Philistine giant but a documentary about the basketball great, Wilt Chamberlain. Here was a 7 foot plus super athlete who was so good that they changed rules to make him less effective. Who scored 100 points in a game. And who, at various times, was called a "loser" and a jinx because...

    Pick Your Poison

    I have been staggered at the amount of vitriol being spouted after yesterday's loss. There appears to be a total lack of any perspective. Smacks very much of a "what have you done for me lately" mindset. Well, Poch has had us in the top 4 for 4 years and just got us to a Champions League final...

    Franco Baldini

    On my visit to the UK I was able to get to the Emirates Marketing Project match. I lucked out with seats right behind the "director's box". Interesting to see former players (Ardiles, Miller, Paul Allen) and got a selfie with Ray Clemence. As the game finished, I also noticed Mr. Baldini coming from the Spurs...

    Ticket Buying Guidance

    I will be making a trip over that will coincide with the Emirates Marketing Project home game. Unfortunately the trip is not for pleasure reasons, and attending the game is probably going to be the only fun element. Previously I have manged to buy seats when they go on general sale, but I am anticipating that...

    Lessons for Spurs from an ESPN documentary

    I just caught one in the excellent 30 for 30 documentary series about the Orlando Magic NBA team in the 90's. Based on what I saw, there are some lessons to be drawn by us from what happened to that team: -- A young team with burgeoning superstars celebrates making the finals as if they have...

    A day is a long time in football....

    The saying was that a week is a long time in politics, but if the fan predictions in The Observer (https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/15/premier-league-fans-verdict-2015-16-arsenal-manchester-united and...

    Warren Mitchell RIP

    Despite his most famous role being that of a West Ham supporter, he was a diehard Spurs fan in real life. I remember him speaking at half-time in what I believe was a cup-tie against Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Slipped effortlessly into character as Alf Garnett and then back to his urbane real voice. He paid...

    Ticket and Travel guidance

    I am hoping to make a trip over in early December. As a result, I may be able to attend 3 games, WBA away, Monaco home and Saudi Sportswashing Machine home. I am trying to puzzle out how easy it is going to be to get tickets for all three and to travel to the WBA game. My assumption is that Monaco will be the...

    "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."

    I do not get it. We have a terrible run of performances playing largely the same players in the same system. Why would you either not try tinkering with the system or personnel? I don't think one can keep trotting out the same excuses if there is no willingness to at least try something else...

    20 years....it's just unacceptable

    that we have finished below the red menace for that long. It defies logic that we have finished above the other top three but not them. I swear that Wenger struck a Faustian bargain that guaranteed it.....and when he is gone their stadium will spontaneously combust!

    So many areas of concern --where to start?

    A three match winning run that ends in defeat is not normally the time for expressing real concerns about the future of a team, but I have a bad feeling about where we are heading now. I don't think that I am alone in viewing our recent run as fortuitous and there appears to be numerous areas...

    Ardiles and Villa -- ESPN documentary

    JUST watched the 30 for 30 documentary that focused on Ossie and how his (and Ricky's) world was turned upside down by the Falklands War. As always our Argentinians came across as being really good blokes placed in an impossible situation. It also featured Ossie's accident while on the Falklands...

    The Benefits of a Heavy Defeat

    It has been a while, but we have been this way before. Those of us that have been supporting for a while will remember the 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool early in the Ardiles/Villa era. Unlike a narrow loss, it focuses the mind and is impossible to ignore. We all know that there is something missing...
