Probably best to start by listing the preferences:

Football: Tottenham Hotspur, St Mirren, St Pauli, Fiorentina. No particular favourites in Spain, Portugal or France.

Politics: Well to the Left in all fairness.

Beer: Real Ale when its served correctly, craft beers, especially from Denmark.

Music: Massive Range. From Bowie to Mozart, New York Dolls to John Coltrane. Includes nearly everything bar X-Factor shite.





 Let the fun commence!!

Its The Chairmans 80th Birthday - How Are Spurs Looking?

The date is February 8th 2042 and the Chairman Of The Tottenham Football & Entertainment Ltd shuffles around his office at the stadium he personally built back in the 2010's to open the blinds and see how the preparation for the latest mega event is going. He then shuffles back to his desk where he slumps into his vast leather executive chair. Today is his 80th birthday. His children have had an enormous cake box delivered to the office for him this morning. The pride he felt as he opened it and realised his kids have taken on board everything he'd ever taught them (promise the world but ultimately disappoint) as it contained only a lonely looking cupcake, gave him a warm fatherly glow.  Far below him down on the pitch men and machines scurried about building a stage at what people used to call 'The North Stand' end of the complex, all in preparation for the fifteen night run of Taylor Swifts 'I Can't Believe I'm Still Doing This Either' World Tour. ...

What You Do To Me - Spurs Teenage Fanclub Hit The Right Notes

Lets be honest, there wouldn't have been many Tottenham fans thinking that the last fixture in stage one of this years Europa League was going to be straightforward. Certainly not when you think of what else has been going on this season, let alone during the Europa games. Still, a couple hours later and we were all wondering what the fuss was all about. Obviously it wasn't a run-of-the-mill 3-0 home victory, because with Spurs it never is or can be. In fact, what happened in the last 20 minutes or so was quite remarkable. Damola Ayayi celebrates his goal. Any write ups I'd seen regarding the opponents , Elfsborg FC, described them as defensive. This was evident from the kick off where from the start they stuck 10 men behind the ball / parked the bus / employed a low block. Please delete to show if you're Gen X / Millenial / Gen Z. It also appeared from the start that the chronically struggling for form Son had his full back on the proverbial toast. He really was just t...

"There Used To Be A Football Club Over There."

Its a sad fact but my greatest night as a fan of Tottenham Hotspur happened nearly forty one years ago. Sometime late into the evening of Wednesday 23rd May 1984 a relatively unknown 21 year old goalkeeper Tony Parks saved a penalty in a shoot-out at the Paxton Road end of White Hart Lane to secure the victory in that season's UEFA Cup. This was not only the clubs third European trophy, it was the third major trophy Spurs picked up in four seasons. The starting eleven for that match was ravaged by injuries and suspensions in a time when squads were much smaller than now. Ray Clemence, Steve Perryman, Ossie Ardiles and the clubs greatest ever player Glenn Hoddle were all unavailable although a barely fit Ossie did make the bench. If only I'd realised as me and Dad made our way back to my Nans to collect the car and make our way home up a completely log jammed Great Cambridge Road that things would never quite the same again. The manager of six years,  Keith Berkinshaw had much e...
