What has happened and some things that was said about me in the last month has made me very sad.
But I will not enter a war on words with anyone.
Sometimes it only takes one person from outside to destroy a beautiful love affair.
All the best to Everton and Evertonians
Spurs will be 4 points clear of Chelsea if we win our 5 games in hand. Actually we’re at Stamford Bridge again in the league on Sunday, so could be looking at a 7 point cushion.
Reminds me a bit of the 1985/86 season when around February/March Chelsea had about six matches in hand on front runners Everton, Manchester United and Liverpool, which if they won them all, would have had them well out in front at the top of the league.
They didn’t win them all. Or possibly any of them.
I’ve a feeling Tottenham had a similar amount birds in the bush the following season when they got bogged down in the cups.
1981/82. We had 6 games in hand on Liverpool by March 1982 which would have put us 3 or 4 points clear. We were champions elect.
Most of January and February 1982 was snowed off. Spurs got to both FA Cup and Milk Cup final and the semi final of Cup Winners Cup as well.
From 1 May 1982 to 17 May 1982, we played 8 league games in 17 days.
And to think all these hipster continental managers want winter breaks and Boxing Day football cancelled because modern day players on pitches manicured like snooker tables seemingly play too much.
