I love Spurs. It’s a simple fact of life. Some would call it a curse but that doesn’t stop me. The wife knows she wasn’t my first love and the only constant in my 32 years has been a football club. Like many fans much of my life revolves around the club and the team. Most of my friends are spurs fans simply because we never run out of anything to say. However, from time to time I miss a game. If you’re a regular reader you’ll know I can’t attend midweek or Sunday games with the exception of the occasional away game on a Sunday. That being said, I still rarely miss a game thanks to the Internet and various feeds usually from china or the USA. This season I’ve missed two, Wigan at home and Saturday’s fixture against West Brom.
Two superb games to miss, especially the first one. As far as Saturday’s game goes, I haven’t seen anything. I didn’t even get a chance to watch Alan Hansen publicly apologise for his slanderous and misguided comments about Benny Ekotto on Match of the Day. I presume this happened after his midweek performance?
I spent all day on Saturday house hunting!! As much as I want to move and I enjoy being nosey it’s one of the most tiring things you can do. Not only is it tiring walking round other people’s houses but the mental stress of trying to remember where you are and what your looking at is terrible. It’s frustrating, stressful and if you don’t find “the one” it’s ultimately depressing. Sound familiar? If you were fortunate enough to witness the game I’m sure you experienced those same feelings.
Champions League gone? I would say so. Of course this isn’t any normal football team though. This is Tottenham Hotspur. The perennial underachievers, constantly on the edge of greatness but never quite having the balls to take the leap, but never predictable. In fact the only predictable thing about the teams from one generation to the next is that they’ll be unpredictable.
So come next weekend when we enter a stadium we usually leave empty handed, against a team back to it’s best form we are as likely to gain 3 points and get right back into the top 4 fight as we are to drop 16 points against all the teams beginning with the letter W in the league. Three of which are in the bottom three.
As the country builds up to the royal wedding I’m going to New York. A mid season break if you will to recharge my batteries for the final push. A push over the edge and onto greatness? Unfortunately while you’re all basking in bank holiday sunshine in the UK it’s meant to be cold, grey and raining in the big apple. Typical really. Why would I expect anything else? I should be used to failed house hunting weekends or crap weather on holiday. I should be used to experiencing the highs and lows of every day life. I should be used to the excitement and anticipation of greatness only to be met with depression and ultimate failure. My team has set me up for everything life can throw at me.
The thing is though, what if my dream house comes on the Market tomorrow? What if the weather man has it wrong? No matter how depressing a situation can look, it doesn’t often take much for it to all look rosey again. A Blackburn win and 3 points next weekend please. If that doesn’t happen we could still get lucky and Liverpool catch us. 
Have a good week yids, it’s not over until the fat spanish waiter sings after all.

Yes, it is. Unless you like going to Brescia, watching Bale go to Barsa, and watching Bolton go above you.
Enlightened post…I will however apologise in advance for depressing you any further, but i sincerely doubt Man City are going to drop any points against Blackburn (who are terribly poor). If Blackburn were to take 1 point from City, I would consider that a minor miracle…
How boring was that. Stop writing stuff for the sake of it.
Has no point to make other than its a boring article
Are you having a laugh Action Yid the chickens will beat City the ones we need to worry about are Chelsea flyers and the Liverpool Express Stoke 5 Bolton 0 Bolton 2 Arsenal 1 should Liverpool 5 Birmingham 0. Wake up this is the energised Premiership and Reid Olson Meite Shorey held Spurs with blocks and loads it stop snoring and concentrate and you will see teams on paper with players who have got them in relegation danger come to Spurs and look a class above there normal form Why?. Well what i found out shocked the bollocks out of me and having it confirmed shocked me even more in a season of shock results. So heres a bit of advice if the team we are playing has the word desperate for points then a shock is the most possible result . All season the bookmakers have bean the winners and the only telling reason is me banging a lone drum and Kolo Toure and Paddy Kenny making me bang louder, oh and the odd sad death to indicate why so many favourites are losing. Also why players look gaunt and ill looking like Maluda Kaut Fletcher to name a few. ( Desperation fuelled by Energy drugs not drinks) Action Yid. is nearer the truth than the excuse teams are getting stronger Liverpool and Everton on paper have got weaker and still winning.
at least we wont have to play europa, liverpool will thankfully catch us for that. But any season we can finish top 6 is good, add to that a qtr final of the champions league and it has been a very good year. Some of us need to wake up and realise until we get a stadium we cannot compete with the other top 6 teams off the field. 6th is par for us.
