Quote Of The Day: 3rd June
“Any player coming to Spurs whether he’s a big signing or just a ground staff boy must be dedicated to the game and to the club. He must be prepared to work at his game. He must never be satisfied with his last performance, and he must hate losing.” – The great Bill Nicholson, who must have been annoyed over the years to see so many players at the club that didn’t fit that description.

Dear Sir, I have been a Tottenham fan for nearly 50 years since the great double side of 1960, there have been up and downs but I thought that the performances against Arsenal,Chelsea and Manchester city where some of the best I have ever seen, I have often thought over the years when I have watched my beloved Tottenham that they dont often play as a team but on those three occasions they played as a team and really wanted to win. I was really proud of them as a team. Harry and his coaching staff has gradually molded them into a team. The team have certainly made me proud over their performances this season. lets hope we do really well in the champions league.
