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.
Van der Vaart every time he created for us. The most important thing to happen to the club in 2010 was him signing, and that was only three months ago! What a ruddy bargain.

What a read this is. Top stuff yids.
For me it has to be in this order:
1. The goal and final whistle at Citeh
2. Stumbling into a gay bar in Soho to see the CL draw. I knew we’d arrived and I knew I’d arrived in the wrong place
3. The Gareth Bale shows (too many to list)
4. Danny Rose for the purity of the strike
5. Danny Rose cos it laid the path for the season
6. VDV in a Spurs shirt
7. Daws back in his Spurs shirt
8. Ridsdale making a twat of himself everytime he posts
Oh and no 9 would have to be having gudjohnson (sic ) play for Spurs. He was the reason we didn’t falter after Xmas last yr.
Chaps, all the books & bits (I am assured have been dispatched) several emails in today. Whoo hoo! Should be with you by Easter :wassat:
Have loved Spurs for over fifty years and now follow their every move and read every word written from faraway Canada. So many wonderful memories, but for me watching the Inter Milan games on TV and hearing you wonderful wonderful fans singing Oh When The Spurs Go Marching In, especially at 4 – 0 down in the San Siro, and after the third goal went in at White Hart Lane was quite the most humbling and emotional experience I have witnessed that is football connected. Sitting on the sofa, a grown man with tears streaming down his face shaking with pride and my Canadian wife looking at me with utter amazement that any human being could get so caught up watching a football team. An atmosphere and noise to match the unfogettable home game against Benfica all those years ago. This is why we support this great club.
yep 50 for me too .i couldn’t have expressed the feelings any better than you .
a happy safe Xmas to all
All that has been said before me is what makes us yids the best support ever and we all are sharing what we have believed we were capable of it has always been us that have urged our players to do the extraordinary and appreciated the free expession of players we have been blessed to watch,its true it hasnt always been about winning but glory and doing it in style.this has been my boyhood dream for 50 yid yrs and it is now happening before my very eyes.Only a yid can understand us and I am so chuffed I never supported any one else and dont envy any other teams achievements.In fact my dad left when I was 7 and I thought he was spurs and my uncle took me to the games and told me of the arthur rowe teams as well.When I remet my dad 20 yrs later I was shocked to find he was a gooner.That will teach him to leave a son behind .I am so glad I am a yid,my brothers are yids because of me ,my sons are yids and now my grandsons.YID ARMY.I forgave my dad before he died but have no regrets following spurs no can experience what we experience.All the above comments from other yids above are valid and share precious times.A BIG THANK YOU TO LEVY for having the guts to fire ramos at the time and bring in the wheeler dealer who is turning into a manager.JUST 2 SHORT YEARS AGO.we were down but not out .Rocky Bilboa has nothing on us.`
Oh I forgot merry christmas HH and thanks for the blog,those who come on here and whinge and complain just dont get it cos they arnt yids.keep the style but perhaps tweak the format to flow like it did before.God BLESS TOTTENHAM and all who sail in her. COYS.
