Football history and culture, especially Tottenham Hotspur, music, coffee.

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

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.

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.
