Just read a news article of one our sports websites that says Spurs are heading downunder late May to play against my local Club Sydney FC. Can anyone whose ITK confirm this, the report seems to think its done and dusted. Apparently its going to be a full strength squad, its been decades since Spurs were here and I hope its true. COYS !
For your sake, I hope it’s true. I really enjoyed seeing Spurs in Baltimore a couple of years ago. On the other hand, it was the kind of typical American summer day (32 degrees, maybe, if I can convert Fahrenheit to Celsius correctly) that is far too hot for both PL players and fans of any stripe. And red sunburn stripes is what those wearing shorts had at the end of the game.
RWEB I can assure you that May is autumn or fall, as you may call it and is perfect weather for football. I am thoroughly sick of the LFC bandwagon that the media loves so much, they are coming in June or July. It will be very refreshing to see a London club for a change.
The most popular club in the US may well be Liverpool, though Arsenal seems a close second and Man U third. It’s not a pretty sight.
Sounds about right. Arsenal and Liverpool are the most popular clubs because Americans like guns and the Beatles. My guess: Liverpool Arsenal close second Man U Chelsea Man City distant fifth Spurs close sixth Everton West Ham First numbers I found please log in to view this image
I wouldn't like to bet that Spurs are that low.There's something romantic in the name..Tottenham Hotspur.Not cheap like Man City or Man United.Very common those last two. Arsenal?We're talking about football teams not gangsters!!!!
I never quite get those Google search results. How do they differentiate between someone searching for places and teams? The word Arsenal has another meaning, too. Do they include teams' nicknames? Seems like there are too many issues with it to be particularly accurate, though the results aren't probably far off.
Umm fellas .. Can anyone confirm this proposed trip, the media here has gone cold on it. Perhaps Spurcat?
Especially as we are "Spurs", "Tottenham" or "Tottenham Hotspur". Arsenal are just Arsenal - you wouldn't search on Gunners, or Gooners Seems fairly reasonable, given the profile of the teams above us in CL etc - would appeal to glory hunters. It must also vary season to season though. When Bale was in the news, I would bet we had more searches.
Google knows all. When I search for Spurs, I get Spurs. Google knows I like football. Other people get tailored results. Be it NBA, horse riding boot accessories, or something else. Google also knows that "Spurs", "Tottenham" and "Tottenham Hotspur" are the same thing normally. (turn this off using their verbatim results option) Google sticks this information on their blog. They love showing off. Scary stuff.
Many don’t understand you can steal names in advance. Luckily, "cheap" and "common" are not popular, not to mention descriptive, in these parts. I think search results do skew with the news. So at the peak of Bale to Madrid, Spurs were leading Google, I think I heard. Unfortunately, Google results jibe very well with the preferences I hear and the shirts I see. The exception is Man U. My theory is that the town with the NFL’s equivalent of Man U doesn’t want the big winner (in recent times) of the PL as well. The PL has started looming much larger in US sports fans minds in the last 2 years or so. It’s very addicting. Sorry for going OT, by the way.
.....and who else can say their first "club" meeting was beneath a lamp post near/in the Tottenham High Road? ....and who else can say they were the first,and only,non league team to win the FA Cup after the League was formed? ....and who else can say they were the first team in modern times to win the double when others could not? (Until Arsenal made it look cheap with their teams of choppers!)
No idea mate. I know plans are well advanced for our pre season tour, but haven't heard anything about an end of season trip.
