Hi - if I mute or block you please
don’t take it personally. I’m just trying to mainly interact with people I know unless for a specific reason.
I am a spurs supporter and started going football in 1974. I moved from North London to East London then. Bonds was a fantastic character (person) and footballer. He loved West Ham and deserves huge respect. Always thought he was a legend. Him and Brooking were something else. RIP.

5 from 5: The point is Burkinshaw is a legend. He didn’t win anything until his 5th season and his first season saw us relegated. Feels like everything has to happen so quickly these days and I think that is not helpful. 1974 to 1982 I went a lot and winning after that felt great - did it together.

4 from 5: 7th season finished 4th. Lost League Cup Final ton Liverpool. 8th season finished 8th and WON the UEFA Cup v Anderlecht 2-2 on pens. Burkinshaw then left - resigning - as he didn’t like the direction the club were taking - more commercial!!

3 from 5: 3rd season with new signings Villa and Ardilles we finished 11th. 4th season we finished 14th. 5th season we finished 10th BUT won the FA Cup v Man City 3-2 replay. 5th season. 6th season we finished 4th and BUT won the FA Cup 1-0 v QPR replay

2 from 5: I know this is probably a pointless thing to state but anyway: Keith Butkinshaw took charge with Spurs in July 1976. First season we were relegated 😳. We kept him. 2nd season we finished 3rd in the then 2nd Division.

Great evening. Really agree with the conclusions you draw, which make so much sense. Thank you. Off to read the book now!!

There is more to football than just buying success. I love Spurs as a community. When we won in 81 the joy was shaped by Butkinshaws journey from 76. Let’s do it again. Love the POD. COYS

Let’s grow together. Adversity builds the team. Ange has grown - look at how we are playing now. There is a lot that should be changed. Ticket prices are horrific and Levy etc need to address that. I would however stay with ENIC and Levy. I like that we try and build through developing and buying.

My first game 74/75. Keith Burkinshaw (KB) 1976-84. We went down with KB. We stood by him. First trophy 1981… Pochettino - need painful transition. Alex Ferguson was a genius for his transitions but that is rare. Pep had a blip but he is a genius. I may be in a minority but let’s stick with Ange.

That’s brilliant topping the night. Do you have any gigs planned in June or July you could let me know about …

Fantastic performance. Lots of positives. Very proud. Emotional TV interview with Maxi - his Dad watching in Kiev must be incredibly proud. On to Hull - a very big game.

That was a little tense to say the least 😱
