  1. February 2010 was when I joined Twitter. Social media as we know it now was in its infancy. Twitter was a bit like a series of Facebook statuses -- because that's what we knew. People were dipping their toes into the water and finding their clans amongst a fairly small user-base. I had the sole intention of using it for Spurs stuff, with a major focus on the Academy. At that point, I was the only person that was doing that on Twitter, and so I fairly quickly gained a bit of a following because there were so few ways of finding out information about the Academy, and I was actually going to Under-18 matches and reporting on them, both directly on Twitter and on this blog. I was watching Ryan Mason bang them in for Spurs' U18s and tweeting about it. That dates it pretty well!
  2. It's irrelevant that it's only Sheffield United, who are, this season at least, one of the worst Premier League teams in history. Unless you're a Mourinhista you're probably feeling like me today: happy again.
  3. I think we have massive potential as a team and as a club, and I'm keen for us to maximise that as soon as possible. That it seems closer to fruition has made me genuinely a bit giddy at times this past week.

  4. If I'm honest, I've wanted him gone for months, but I think now my views are more crystalised than ever and I'm seeing this rationally rather than just emotionally. Though, frankly, I feel strongly that the emotional has become the rational, as I'll explain below. There are, I believe, five main reasons why we should sack José Mourinho quickly.
  5. I remember arriving for work on a Monday and one of my colleagues -- a lady in her fifties, not a football fan -- did the Dele hand/eye goal celebration at me.
