Spurs Thread - 2023/24

[dennishasdoneit]

Went for a pint last night with two of the three lads who I went to Spurs with on Friday night. We got talking about Spurs and the usual cliche was trotted out " Spurs are a cup team " I was amazed to learn that they last won the F A cup in 1991, the league cup in 2008. Considering that they last won the league in 1961, how are they considered to be a top team ? Big stadium, based in London ?

They've had 1 great manager in their entire history.- Bill Nicholson who
Won the double in 1961 with the famous " push and run" style of play
A standout in its time.

They've had 2.. other ,good managers, Terry Venables and Keith Burkinshaw. And that's it basically.

The lilleywhites have very little to crow about down the years.
As a FOC one of my favourite teenage memories was watching MOTD highlights when Arsenal battered them 5nil at the old White Hart Lane,(1979?) when Liam Brady scored an audacious shot from distance with the outside of his left foot,which bent..,Brazilian like... into the top corner of the net,right in front of the arsenal away fans in The Paxton End.

There is very little else to say about spuds in their entire history tbh.
Why one of their ' fans ' would think it a good idea to pop onto BM and start sticking his chest out,I've no idea.

The Cockerel stopped crowing decades ago,imo.

The "push and run" Spurs team was the 1951 title winning team, not the double winners of 1961.

I see Brennan Johnson scored tonight - has the look of Dele Ali and I hope for his sake his career fares better

He's very similar looking to Dele Ali.
When I watched the cup game last Friday, I thought that Dele had made some sort of miraculous prodigal son return.

Thanks for the correction mate. I was thinking the name Arthur Rowe for some reason as I posted.but didn't check...got mixed up , although Bill Nicholson was of course one of the spurs greats who played the "push and run" style in 1951. When they were champions.

Had a rep come into my office the other day. I have plenty of City pictures on the wall plus screen saver, mug, mouse mat etc.
He committed and was all pleasant than as he went to leave he said all your cups will be taken away ! I just laughed and said well our owner isnt being done for insider trading and if spurs have been funded of the back of insider trading you'll in deep shit.

He looked abit confused !

Channeling their inner #spursy today. Ahead twice, against a team on the edge of the bottom 3.

I see Everton benefited from our tactics against the Spuds goalie. Good for them, because it puts the Spuds further behind us

That keeper is in for a rough time the remainder of the season.
