Though I’m admittedly still on a bit of an adrenaline high just over two hours after the United States’ “historic” win in the Azteca — I won’t elaborate further on it, as tonight’s win has spawned another full-length post where I’ll delve into the topic in greater detail. But it still feels good to beat […]

worst case scenario
This piece is a short excerpt from my second featured post on the Tottenham Hotspur podcast/blog website http://www.TheFightingCock.co.uk. To read it in it’s entirety, please click here or click the link at the end of the post. Labeling Spurs’ close to the season as a disaster — which has involved pissing away a sizable third-place […]
digging deep
Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good; and it is always ready to bubble up, if you just dig. – Marcus Aurelius Perpetual gloom and doom hangs over White Hart Lane these days, at least that’s how it has felt the last few weeks. Spurs’ terrible run of form would normally be enough to […]

you have to give to take
the problem with this season and last for tottenham? they set the bar too damn high. make it to the quarterfinals of the champions league, and suddenly everyone expects you to do it again next year. such are the risks of success, i guess. despite turning in a massively entertaining –if not cardiac– first half of […]
