Football history and culture, especially Tottenham Hotspur, music, coffee.
Enjoying listening to Jeremy Coney on Test Match Special. Some lovely stories, excellent analysis with a very distinct style.
Lunchtime reading - the state of play at Spurs. You may be having a relaxing break. My vibes more like the drenching from the hailstorm that has just passed. tottenhamonmymind.com/2026/05/13/s...
Spurs: Hope But Can I Trust Them?
There was an odd atmosphere on Monday night. The on-pitch burners reminded me of the ultimate pointlessness of life itself, but the tifo set us up and the crowd got going. This faded as anxiety too…

Excellent from Nick, the fans deserve an honest explanation of events at the very least
Politics and football don’t mix? Tell that to Ipswich’s players, who are not happy about Farage’s visit. What a mess, and many tough questions still to answer: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Spurs' great captain, Danny Blanchflower, born 100 yrs ago today. Tonight, against Newcastle, we'd do well to recall his words: "The game is about glory, it is about doing things in style and with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom". #COYS
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Good to see Spurs commemorating the 125th anniversary of the 1901 FA Cup win. An excellent piece on the website and the pin badge and special kit are a nice touch. All this could of course be properly detailed and celebrated in the club museum we were promised would be part of the new stadium.
Very sad to hear of the passing of one of my childhood heroes, Martin Chivers. A wonderful player, one of the best strikers in Europe in the early seventies and in later years a great ambassador for Tottenham. RIP Big Chiv.
That’s harsh on Cardiff, they’ve been excellent tonight.
Alan, @spursblogger, always seems to brilliantly articulate how I feel much of the time when it comes to our beloved Tottenham. This particularly resonates. tottenhamonmymind.com/2025/12/04/t...
The Atmosphere at Spurs: Blame the Club before Blaming the Fans
The supposed lack of atmosphere at White Hart Lane has become ingrained into the story of Spurs’ season. As each home game passes without a victory, so early season passivity turned to audibl…

This is just shocking. Absolutely crass and shameless. And people genuinely wonder why Liverpool fans detest every touchstone of the British establishment. The only bit of the statement that is true: 'They (SYP) should not face trial by media.' Too right - they should stand trial by jury.
Thoughts are with all the families. #JFT97 www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Hillsborough families decry ‘bitter injustice’ that no officers will face disciplinary proceedings
None of the former officers named by the IOPC will face disciplinary proceedings because they have all retired

The Levy legacy. What might have been. Flawed. Not straightforward. Contradictory. And perhaps the epitome of a modern chair that will resonate with supporters of may clubs. tottenhamonmymind.com/2025/09/07/t...
The Levy Legacy – What Might Have Been
In evaluating the career of Daniel Levy as Tottenham Hotspur chairman, only one thing can be said with any degree of certainty. If someone reaches a straightforward conclusion, they’re wrong. Altho…

What a night seeing Bruce Springsteen at Anfield. Oh, and Paul McCartney joined for a couple of songs including ‘Can’t Buy Me Love.’ Just brilliant.
Watching Hammersmith ‘75 on BBC2, what a treat. Hard to believe Bruce thought he had flopped that night. Cannot wait until Anfield next week.
Just look at each and every one of their faces. Simply wonderful 🤍
Violin solo Z Cars got me and I don’t even support Everton! How many people were thinking of people they went to the match with who are now no longer with us.
Excellent performance last night, a ridiculous but ultimately memorable season. Hopefully Levy isn’t out buying watches this morning. #COYS
Well said, especially around the opaqueness of the system.
Our response to THFC’s pricing announcement.
Excellent listening, a pleasure to hear the legendary @steveperryman.bsky.social talking about the great man.
The great Steve Perryman on even greater Bill Nicholson Bill Nich belongs in pantheon with Chapman, Busby, Stein, Shankly, Paisley, Ferguson But is somewhat overlooked, which we address here 👇 podfollow.com/1745066482 Steve on Bill Nich’s attitude to punctuality… #THFC @jonawils.bsky.social
From his comments last night and previously, I think Ange would enjoy reading @daisychristo.bsky.social excellent book ‘I Can’t Stop Thinking About VAR.’
