Anyone need or want two tickets to Wolves? FV or maybe even a little less. DM me!

Another gem. Christ on a pedalo is my new go to when I'm hacked off

This. The vid gets this well, especially with simple words to check with your mates if they are ok.

The private equity firm Apposite Capital has quietly been plundering the care system for vulnerable children and young people. Here’s how. 🧵

Much better second half. More food for thought as Frank finds our most effective shape in midfield. Brighter with Xavi at 10, maybe two 10s we had at one point a bit of a luxury!

Bergvall drifting wide right again. Obvs tactical as he's done so in the past but Bentancur less creative centrally and it makes him easier to handle.

Essential thread from Rob. Public service journalism. Thank you

New NAO report finds the cost of a place in a children's care home has nearly doubled in 5 years. The biggest private providers make average annual profits of 22.6%, many backed by private equity. And many children aren't getting what they need, placed far from home, in unlawful settings

Evening shout for today's Tottenham On My Mind piece on Levy's legacy aka what could have been

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...

@mrchrisaddison.bsky.social a while back, elsewhere, you offered advice about writing. One point above all else - get to the end, then edit. I was writing non-fiction but reckoned it still applied. So I did, and now I have a doctorate. So thank you

Question now is, what is the owners’ vision for the club? Looks very much like the Lewis family have made their move and this could be very positive. But we need clarity and transparency. I’ve seen too many false dawns. #coys

Blimey to the max. Speculation but wonder if the Lewis family want to change things. In which direction remains to be seen

I post this, 2 hours later we hear he has been sold. COINCIDENCE?! Yes.

On this day of days, am I the only one thinking of the long serving players, the unsung, the waifs and strays.... Bryan Gil, where are you?

Best thing that can be said about today's performance is that Frank learned a lot about his squad's capabilities. Coaching takes hard work and time.

The first edition of The Football Fan for the new season is out now.

Spurs never on the ball but Alasdair is. Includes a detail of the Grealish negotiation that I remembered, except thought I was approaching senility, because surely it could not be true that Grealish wanted to join then we offered £3m plus Onomah

Looking forward to the morphine. It dulls the pain. Maybe I'll hallucinate that Spurs have bought a creative midfielder tottenhamonmymind.com/2025/08/21/n...

'I Was There' is the title of Top PR Alan Edwards's compelling memoir and it could just as easily apply to his football life as his showbiz story. This still from fellow Life Goaler @amylawrence71's excellent '89' doc shows him on his way to Anfield on ‘that’ night... theodelaney.com/life-goals-lin…

This is the problem many of us have, and have had for many years, with Spurs' transfer policy. We clearly want Eze so be decisive and get him. We have the cash - don't we? The success he could be part of means the extra outlay is an investment, not money wasted. I don't get this strategy at all

I talk about Tottenham Hotspur on this, if that is the kind of thing that you are interested in. It's a good one

My seat in 519 available today if anyone is interested (sitting elsewhere with the kids for this game)

Excellent, thanks Ally

So far I've 5 or 6 guesses at the formation! Whatever, I've got that good feeling that comes round every year after the phoney war of friendlies - the season starts here. Also - Byfield on the bench. Good luck to him

Thanks for the kind wishes. To those asking to read it, it's not yet available to share. Also it's academic writing, therefore uses 37 words where two will do and gives evidence for every comma

Couldn't have done it without the support of Johm Williams who my son spotted in this London News report on hooliganism from 1983. Incudes Spurs content. An historical artifact... youtu.be/xcNl8KeTDRU?...

Some personal news. On Friday I successfully completed my Viva at Leicester University and have passed my PhD thesis. It examined the changing relationship of Spurs fans with the club. Many of us may be against modern football, so how do we relate to that? In other words, I really am Dr Tottenham

On Life Goals, writer and topophiliac Simon Inglis tells me he gave up his job as a match reporter on the nationals because he just wanted to watch #AstonVilla. Part two with the foremost authority on football heritage and sporting architecture is out now theodelaney.com/life-goals-lin…

Absolutely completely utterly indubitably correct

What might have been eh

Agree with this piece. My research shows the deep significance of family ties in sustaining support and perpetuating this through the generations. The changes undermine this.

Getting all my pre-holiday admin out the way... Hot Shot Tottenham is out 15th September. Waterstones are offering a limited time 25% offer (closes today). Please share.

Often walk my dog in the field next to Tonbridge Angels ground, they're in National South. Game on tonight not against big opposition (apols to any Lewes fans). Yet in time honoured fashion a crowd is building. They'll get in but still hurrying because there's a game on. Bloody love a football crowd

Plaudits for Jess Carter after all the crap that has come her way this tournament

My absolute honour to attend today with our TH old boys, Bill's daughter + family and current staff for such a respectful event! "If you don’t honour the past, do you have a future worth having?" Steve P.

New BBC doc Human enjoyable but the continual lush orchestral soundtrack gets on my wick. I'm quite able not only to listen to a presenter explaining something but also to marvel at the wonder of it all. Beads? Giant orchestra. Arrowheads? Orchestra. Oche - turn the strings up

Here’s my funny new book TOTALLY CHAOTIC HISTORY: THE STONE AGE RUNS WILD! it’s cowritten with the brilliant archaeologist @brennawalks.bsky.social and illustrated by the ace @rikinparekh.bsky.social It has facts, new scientific discoveries, and comedy sketches www.walker.co.uk/978152952249...

It is people like Wallace who embed the stigmatisation of autistic individuals. Yes, I can miss social cues, but have amazingly never wandered round work with a sock on my cock. What he is accused of is not autistic behaviour, it's predatory behaviour. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sure Start is coming back. The Labour government is to open 1000 Best Start Family Hubs covering every local authority. The first will be in place by April 2026 & all by 2028. They will combine existing Family Hubs & the Start for Life programme & also cover areas without these services. 1/2

This will be a special #spurs night. Special performance of The Ghost of White Hart Lane. Thurs July 24th @1MickyHazard will be hosting a post show auction for his amazing Legend on the Bench charity. Your chance to meet him & see this historic show. Grab the last few tix while you can

Email from my water provider asking for cutbacks in use: "your paddling pool is someone else's drinking water." A service resorting not to knowledge or efficiency but emotional blackmail. My bill pays for huge dividends and exec salaries but you don't ask me to cut back on the payments

Saw this at the Lane last summer, warmly recommended

The only team in White Hart Lane.

warnings of Micky van de Ven here at this resort… 😉

Pushing this, because it's nearly tea time. Get a biscuit and read about how my neuro weirdness makes me create a million jobs to do each day

Having flogged fan tokens with Socios, which only ever lost money, and "buy a square of the pitch" NFTs with Fanblock, whose website went offline last month, Spurs aren't done with wallet inspection yet. They're now recruiting for an "Operational and Web3 Lead," which is what they call crypto now.

Mornings flickering through the doom and gloom on the Guardian app enlivened by the Amazon ads tailspinning out of control. Obviously process of elimination before they get text and pic to match.
