Can any stattos tell me when the last time we won our first 3 league games in January??

I have always remembered us having patchy January's at best (i.e. a couple of draws after a new year's day win when we've been a 'good' side, a couple of defeats when we've been 'average' to 'crap') but can't remember the last time we won on New Year's day AND our next two league fixtures...

So, can anybody help with this?

Thanks!!

Oh fook; we did in January 2004!! That's actually quite worrying considering how the latter part of that season went:eek:
 
Spur of the moment said:
Ha! - became a fan in 1953 - when we finished 16th if you don't mind.

Indeed 60-61 was an amazing season start to finish. Expectations were high because of the sheer classiness of Blanchflower, White, Allen, Mackay and Jones and the fact we had looked like champions-in-waiting the previous season. But no one really imagined it would turn out quite like it did.

Was based at a Reading boarding school at the time so only managed to get to games during the holidays. I still recall the air of anticipation for the opening game of the season at home to Everton. The atmosphere was highly charged, everyone expected us to roll them over at a canter because of how well we'd played the previous season, but the Toffees made it very difficult for us and for much of the game you couldn't really tell that we were champions-in-waiting, the goals just wouldn't come until quite late in the game. In the end we ground out a modest 2-0 win without really setting the place alight.

The second game I recall watching was the 3-2 win at Highbury, now that really WAS a joy. From memory we blew them away with scintillating one-touch soccer and sailed smoothly into a 2-0 lead, but then to our alarm got pegged back, so in the end it was a relief when the final whistle went and we'd completed our seventh win on the spin.

Cannot pretend i remember too much detail from that season, I'm even struggilng to recall which other games I attended, but the general sense of euphoria at the style of football we played and the incredible impact it had on the media as it unfolded will always stay with me. Spurs were adulated by the press in those days, it felt like everyone supported Spurs and wanted them to break all known records. Something we went quite a long way down the road to achieving.

Awesome. What was the capacity at WHL in the 60s? My late grandfather mentioned being at WHL as a kid, with his dad and uncles creating a kind of circle, physical barrier, for him and his brothers in the terraces. Which must have been pre WWII. Wish I had asked him more :)

Over 65,000 at the Lane for the 1960-61 home games v Arsenal & Chelsea.

Spurs 3rd in the number of total goal attempts and 4th in attempts on target.
 
but that ratio at the end says something about the lack of quality in our attempts.

Well yes - and the fact that opposition goalkeepers tend to have the game of their lives when they play against us!

If we had the same conversion rate as Stoke City, Spurs would have scored around 61 Premier League goals so far this season - 30 more than we've actually achieved.

We were 18th in the league for the net total of shots attempted-conceded inside the penalty area at the end of Andre' tenure.

Yup, we were also 18th in the league for PDO after 20 games played.

Shots on target can mean absolute jack. We could put 20 shots on target in a game, but 15 of those could be right down the keepers throat and of no real consequence.

It also means **** all because it could just be Townsend shooting 19 times a game from 50 yards out ...

Fingers crossed that our strikers have a bit more luck in front of goal during the latter part of the season [-o<

Indeed. Compared to the 3 highest scoring teams in the league, we hit a much higher proportion of shots down the middle of the goal (46%) than Emirates Marketing Project (33%), Liverpool (28%) and ARSEnal (32%).

Obviously it helps that City and Liverpool have world class marksmen like Aguero and Suarez up front to find those corners, whilst ARSEnal have that knack of carving open opponents to slot home from close range.
