I don’t know if they still do it, but the Sunday Times always used to do a feature in their last Colour Supplement of the year. It was a few pages filled with passport sized photographs of famous folk who’d snuffed it that year.
My responses to the snaps was always the same. Flitting between, ‘Aged 69? She was a pensioner in her black and white films?’ to ‘**** off, he was on Wogan last night.’ But what happened overall was you got a sense of time moving on.
To attempt to reproduce this in football blog terms might prove not only limiting but a tad grim. But this season more than most has been a series of events that could possibly define what this Club does for a whole generation. Never in my lifetime have I had such a sense of times changing in the land of the Lilywhites.
Without the sensational addition of Oligarch, Arabian or Bond Villain money, Spurs have done the seemingly unimaginable and turned into something pretty naffing close to what we always hoped they would.
Champions League football. Futuristic images of joyous Customer Reference Numbers strolling gayly about the grounds of the Your Name Here stadium. Slur Alex not throwing a blanket over any of our best players.
So let’s have your scrapbook of the people and the moments that were standout moments in the year. Perhaps 3MP’s goal against City. It might be that John Terry’s dad getting busted for peddling charlie made you happiest. Who knows how your mind works. The Boy Bale, the comeback and victory against The French.
Link to pictures,videos, or just blurt out what’s on your mind. This year has been pretty historic.
It’s got to be the sheer unbridled joy of when 3MP nodded the goal in up in Manchester. Rarely, when on the cusp of doing something special do we actually turn up. On that night we turned up, out-played them and didn’t give them a sniff. Had this strange feeling after the game that night which I have subsequently come to realise is ‘pride’. What a night.
A close second is the boy Bale punting the ball, under-9’s style 30 yards past the european champions back line and teeing up the clincher in the Inter game at the lane. I was lucky enough to be at the game, and at that end of the ground that night and couldn’t quite believe what I’d just seen…..Frankly, I’m surprised Maicon and Lucio aren’t now turning out for a pub side after the run around they were given.
If next year can be half as memorable I’ll be a very happy man..
With regards to the calender year Bale has been simple amazing. My favorite moment of the year is possibly up there as all time peak moment in 30yrs of supporting Spurs. Even up there (shallow, maybe) with FA/EUFA cups wins and the like, was the 3-2 reverse at Arse. And so best moment falls to Kaboul for his injury-time winner. How to do it… Keep it going! Best season ever! Harry to stay FOREVER! Merry Xmas!
Rafa’s introduction to the side has simply been nothing but amazing..talking ’bout living up to expectations..
And ofcourse the win at the Emptycrates..
Van der Vaart signs for tottenham hotspurs minutes before the close of the transfer window.
Wenger throwing his bottle to the ground was priceless in the Spurs Arsenal game
All 180 minutes of inter meelan even the first 45.
Jenas remembered where he put his lucky pants
Spurs win thier last two games of the season. I foresaw that one last night, hence it was a great memory
Boys,
It has to be the win at the Emirates and Mr Wenger having a tantrum with his water bottle..priceless.
COYS
….just remembered…Paul Merson’s face when we did them..what an arse that guy is!
