    PODCAST - The Game Is About Glory - I Can See You

    It was exactly that summer. The only reservation I've ever had about signing Bergkamp was whether he'd have been a compatible strike partner for Teddy who ostensibly fulfilled the same function. In fairness Armstrong and Teddy scored nearly 50 goals between them in 95/96.

    PODCAST - The Game Is About Glory - I Can See You

    Hi Dave, do you know that was my initial thought but I decided I couldn't mention a Woolwich Wanderer! I was just about able to distinguish between him as a Woolwich player and as a Dutch player - that goal he scored against Argentina in World Cup '98 remains one of the best I have ever seen.

    European Super League - Dead on arrival

    My instinct here is that I'm appalled by the proposal and as a traditionalist I don't want us to be involved. I'd far prefer that we return to a European Cup for Champions only, 3pm Saturday kick off's and no unnecessary wearing of change strips! However, lets wait to see the detail. I get the...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2020/21

    My reading is that the FAC SF the week before will just be local residents, Brent Council workers etc. I suspect not many of these will be supporters of Leicester or Southampton (which is probably why they chose this game rather than Chelsea v Man C). However, that report in The Guardian...

    Harry Kane MBE

    Yes agree there's always been a tier of clubs higher up the food chain than us. I guess the point I'm making is that there is still only a limited number of sharks circling and some of them are not in a position to strike. 2-3 years ago I'd have been a lot more concerned because: 1) At 24/25...

    Harry Kane MBE

    I've seen too many of our heroes leave for bigger and better things in over 30 years that I'd be naive not to expect that Harry Kane (and Son) are likely to feel their apsirations are higher than we can currently provide. Throughout the years of seeing Gazza, Klinsmann, Sheringham, Campbell...

    Harry Kane MBE

    I think these are all the details that ultimately make it unlikely that he will leave not forgetting the state of the world economy and the knock on effect this is going to have on club's abilities to make these sort of signings. Unless he has a 'gentleman's agreement' with Levy in place to...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Think we were all (players included) still revelling in the glory of having won at Emirates Marketing Project 3 days beforehand. Ben Alnwick randomly started in goal and chucked a couple in (just as he had in in his only other appearance for us...also at Burnley in the 2009 LC SF). We actually went into that...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    I had considered this one as it stands as our (joint) worst Premier League defeat on record (of course I am aware that football existed pre 1992 and I think someone has already listed the 0-7 defeat at Anfield). This defeat at Sheffield U was a really bizarre one....we'd been in excellent form...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    You were a couple of years older than me. I'm pretty sure my story is just as bizarre as I was in the worst place in the world to receive the news of the half time score.....I was in the Arsenal away end for their league cup tie the same night at Boundary Park, Oldham! I remember my heart...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Of course...how did I forget the Portsmouth Semi-Final. It was a humiliating loss though I equally feel a little cheated that a) the pitch surface was an utter brick bomb which clearly acted as a leveller and b) Crouch had a perfectly good goal disallowed at 0-1 so I dont feel this one was...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Always felt as though we were doing our very best to get knocked out of the Europa that season! I think, we could still have qualified on final match day having won at Shamrock but PAOK obviously got something against Rubin Kazan to secure their place.

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Just before my time so didn't register with me...I got in just in time for the ignimony of losing to Bradford in 1989 instead though!

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Only reason I left this off was because it felt like there were quite mitigating circumstances for the actual loss. It was as though the football gods were just adamant that we wouldn't finish the season in 4th spot. A bit like the Saudi Sportswashing Machine 5-1 this was made far worse for the two teams...

    The Ultimate Humiliation

    Last night was very much a 'humiliation' - there are several ingredients to a 'humiliation' - its invariably a self-inflicted result and generally one that makes you feel as though you've just been spotted naked meaning you want to lock yourself away for days to avoid the mocking eyes of your...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    My final take on this game (before it gets confined to a bad memory) is that perhaps the difference on the day was that actually Woolwich were very good. It hurts to say this but i suspect that any gameplan we might have had was possibly shut down very early on by them.

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    We seemed to brickhouse a couple of draws there and were unfortunate to lose on a couple of occasions but overall this fixture has been a graveyard for us. Since Wenger at Highbury: 96/7 - lost 1-3 Two late goals by Adams and Bergkamp 97/9 - drew 0-0 despite being down to 10 men (Edinburgh s/o)...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    Of course we will NEVER know so its pure guess work and conjecture. I believe within the ongoing communication between onfield referee and VAR referee there comes a point where the onfield referee is convinced he's had the perfect angle to see what he needs to see (and it appears that Oliver was...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    There are a few bizarre statistics in this fixture....the last we won (2010) saw us trail 2-0 at Half-Time. However, in the last 10 at 'home' of which we have been dominant (7 wins, 2 draws) Arsenal have scored first in five and only won once. In the last 20 PL NLD's - 13 Home Wins, 6 draws...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Scumball Wanderers***

    bricky afternoon all round. We looked off the pace from the first whistle. Too many important players had off days....you can't legislate for that; it was the team we pretty much all would have picked (bar Doherty/Aurier) and was a team and shape that has produced our best performances of the...
