Is it all starting to look like a disaster or are you in the 'give it time' camp? Russell Chopp ended last season in a fury but is calling for patience now. It feels like the game against Villa will be an important indicator of whether he's right. https://t.co/SUfN5KEJ4Y

@SteveMurcoc6e Well that’s as good a reason as any I guess!

What made you a Spurs fan? We'd love to hear your 'origin story'. Here Ian Doyle shares how his grandfather's admiration for a young Dave Mackay was the catalyst. Send us your memories to [email protected] https://t.co/P0fQm3w8WE

Over the years, we have been spoiled something rotten with the quality of the forward talent that we’ve been blessed to watch. Greaves, Brown, Chivers, Gilzean, Allen, Lineker, Sheringham, Klinsmann, Keane, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Crouch, Berbatov, Bale, Kane and Son.

Today Jimmy will be turning in his grave.

@AnthonyAshton1 @AnthonyH7 @flynn_ewan I'd have him in the current team!

A famous defeat and a kerb crawling manager. What are your memories of 1987? @flynn_ewan shares his here https://t.co/V9tce21ypt

[The White Hart Review @WhiteHartRev]

@FEB23cuf @flynn_ewan He built a pretty good team...

@VanWintering Boys? Next time can you add ‘against men’

[Anthony Heard @AnthonyH7]

A great article about the 1986/7 @SpursOfficial side that played some beautiful football but ultimately won nothing. A terrific read for those of us of a certain vintage @WhiteHartRev https://t.co/8QDQN7YzLk

@RachelVMartin @KimEdwards48 If you found London Falling troubling try Say Nothing by the same author. It’s a really confronting story about The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

@Theleaguemag I was there and can confirm in real life it was in full colour.

@n_squared614 @hucksgooner @nathangunn13 @footballconfid1 And the other guy gets a yellow card?!

[The White Hart Review @WhiteHartRev]

@dougbagleyfdl You’re right. He was brilliant at riding a tackle and, when it suited him, drawing a foul.

@GaryRWard Favourite and best are two different things. Favourite: Sonny, best: Hoddle. https://t.co/vMv4k0MD3Y

There's a reason each of us started following Spurs. We call them 'Origin Stories'. This one's got a Caledonian flavour, thanks to Dave Mackay.

What made you a Spurs fan?

I knew it! This from my book https://t.co/Mc4zNW8sEo “What’s up with all the potholes?” I asked our Airbnb host at our first stop in Victoria.
“Oh, the roads are dreadful in Victoria,” he said. “What they do here is rather than send out somebody to fix the potholes, they send someone with a can of fluorescent spray paint and draw a circle around the hole so that drivers know it’s there.” I had noticed that the road had become psychedelic since we crossed the border. “There’s one depression in the road so bad that they’ve erected road signs. You’d think it would have been less work to fix the road.” He had a point.
