Nice read. Funny seeing a 17 yr old with optimistic level headed views compared to the men in their 30s and 40s whinging constantly.
Thank you! I try and be optimistic even at the worst of times and I was in a good mood when I wrote this.

Thank you both so much! I write because I love expressing my views on sport and this great club but getting feedback like that is what makes me really smile and makes it so worth it!
That match is why I love European nights- less pressure, younger crowd, great fun.
A mind-boggling £0! Oh well, it was worth a try...Nice one. I was there one seat down fromJDK indeed a great night. How's the PS4 appeal going mate?
Love this article.
I know there are a couple of different meanings that people attach to the word "Spursy." But that match absolutely perfectly encapsulated Spurisness as I feel it. Lamela's rabona was the most outrageous, unnecessary, ridiculous display of sublime skill I could imagine. Spursy as hell. Harry Kane scoring a hat trick and ending up all gangly and goofy trying to stop that shot. That was the Spursiest performance I've ever witnessed. Everything about that match was exhilarating. And bizarre. I fucking loved it.
I shut my office door and surreptitiously watched that match on my computer in the middle of a workday, and I was going bananas. Fuck. To have been there in person must have been amazing.

Nice piece mate. I had the pleasure of being there in 35 and it was indeed a great night.
Thank you mate. You've hit the nail on the head, there were plenty of people using the word "Spursy" that night.
As I wrote, up there with last season's NLD as my favourite game I've ever been to, it's just a shame so few attended. In a way though that made the night even more unique, I've rarely seen so many empty seats at the Lane.
I think a shout out to the guys that organise 1882 nights is necessary, as well as to all the banners people bring. It's an amazing atmosphere.
That game was my first ever football match that I watched and bought a match scarf to remember it by. My first time seeing Spurs play and my first time to the Lane. Ryan Mason was my favourite player that night (I just remember shirt number 38, not knowing any of them, he seemed to be all over the pitch working hard). I didn't know what a Rabona was and knew nothing of the history of the club, or football in general, only what I had learned from my 10 year old being a keen footballer. I was hooked from that point, joined the club as a bronze member in December and went as often as I could for the remainder of the season. I realise now that it was a great time to become a Spurs fan and am so glad that I chose that game to go to.
Good article, well done to Sawbo 1882 and nice to know we have some really good fans to keep the Tottenham flag flying
Mind you given the nature of that night, perhaps Royal Variety Show would be a more apt name than 'circus'. Featuring King Kane and Prince Erik!

Thank you, appreciate that. You have a point but not sure "Missing the Tottenham Royal Variety Show" rolls off the tongue quite as well.Good article, well done to Sawbo 1882 and nice to know we have some really good fans to keep the Tottenham flag flying
