  1. Last night it felt like we got back on track a little. The team, the fans, the fans on social media… it all felt a bit more ‘together’.

  2. Our expectations are – or should be – lower this season. But not significantly low as to shrug off a 1-0 home defeat to one of the league’s poorer sides, a side that had not beaten us at White Hart Lane since 1984, the year of my birth. And especially when the performance was also so […]
