To make TalkShite say that Kane is transferring to Barcelona. I kid you not. It would have taken them about a minute to work out that the whole team was there as well.
David Button, formerly of our academy, pulls off a blinding save in Brentford's 3-1 win over Preston: Nice to see one of our former youth players doing well. Probably punched the initial ball a little too centrally, though. Superb reactions to stop it.
In my prime, I would have held that . Seriously, a truly great save. Unbelievable reaction and agility. I'm genuinely pleased it's all going well for Button, he's a bloody good keeper with a good attitude. His weakness when he was with us was his stress when big games came around. He was literally a nervous wreck before these games and was throwing up in the changing rooms before kick off.
Love Robbo's comments regarding Arsenal. Apparently when he takes the train into Kings Cross, he looks the other way when the train passes the Emirates Stadium. Also, when the train stops at Finsbury Park and the doors open, he holds his breath until they close so he doesn't have to inhale the Arsenal air. Top Man is Paul Robinson, hope he gets some playing time at Burnley.
Changing the subject.I became a life member of the Spurs Supporters Club in 1958......and never heard from them again.what's that? a mere 58 years ago! Can I have my money back,please?
Club announces the passing of Peter Baker aged 84. One of the men who laid the foundations at our club and was part of our greatest team and groundbreaking accomplishments in English football. Thank you, Sir.
I can remember Peter Baker skying a clearance towards the opposing goal in the 50's and the ball going over the goalie's head for a goal.v Sheffield Wednesday,I think! Time marches on for all of us!
Another sad day when one of our glorious double side has passed away. I only hope that todays fans get some of the joy and pleasure that team gave us back in the day. RIP Peter. x
I can remember the pure football the double team played for a couple of years until they all got old together.....and 10 years later when Arsenal did the double with a team of choppers....Mr.Storey to mention just one.......and Liverpool too under Shankly with the likes of Yates and Tommy Smith,who would put you in the stands if you tried to play football! I did like Mr.Clough insisting on his teams playing football.....and he succeeded with a couple of European Cups.
Glenn Hoddle mentioned something along these lines today while discussing Dele Alli. "He is a Spurs style player and hopefully he will stay at the club for a long, long time,” "He is a player that can make the difference, he gets people out of their seats and that’s what Spurs fans have always had through different generations.” "He has got wonderful ability the boy and he is just going to get better and better playing in the right position.” "He has got the ability to bring something out of nothing. I’m sure we are going to see more and more of that over the coming years.” I think that most football fans want to see players that can do things that most people can't even imagine. Some clubs consistently value that trait above all others, though and I think that we're one of them. Pardew's comments about our centre-halves playing like midfielders against them suggests that Pochettino thinks the same way. Practicality has it's place, but I like to see 22 players trying to outplay each other.
