Statement from Prague to say that it's not the pride flag they object to, it's the fact that it has a Spurs crest which would then be in the midst of their fans. So not only do they deny our freedom to display a flag of our choice in our ground, they also think we're stupid

Wet and windy Monday night. No wonder there are so many empty seats

Fascinating and stimulating discussion about football, football culture and football and culture. Ignore the offputting Barclays bit in the title. Really enjoyed it

We appreciate your sacrifice for the benefit of others. Has anyone ever asked local paper photographers why their shot has to be complainant pointing at dog mess? Suspect a nationwide massive wind-up

My company (TJM Digital Ltd) has a spare premium seat (lounge access etc) for the Slavia match next Tues.

Gifting it to a fan who rarely goes or needs a pick-me-up (insert irony joke about our home form here).

If that's you or someone you know, give me a shout!

The Atmosphere at Spurs: Blame the Club before Blaming the Fans The supposed lack of atmosphere at White Hart Lane has become ingrained into the story of Spurs’ season. As each home game passes without a victory, so early season passivity turned to audibl…

Evening shout for today's Tottenham On My Mind piece, back on familiar ground analysing the relationship between the club and fans. Atmosphere at the Lane - before blaming the fans, take a hard look at the club.

Steve Cropper, Legendary Guitarist for Booker T. & the MG’s, Otis Redding and the Blues Brothers, Dies at 84 Steve Cropper, guitarist for Booker T. & the MG's, Otis Redding, the Blues Brothers and many more, has died. He was 84.

if I could only listen to one kind of music for the rest of my life, the answer would be Memphis soul. RIP Steve Cropper, whose guitar and production defined the Stax sound as much as Booker T’s organ or Otis Redding’s shout

Said many times that the Stax Volt tour of Europe is one of the gigs, I'd loved to have seen. Otis obv but Sam and Dave too. Plus behind them all the MG's with Dunn and #SteveCropper . The groove they get into is so perfect . Plus I love the crowd shots. www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ztgrh

The whole situation is a consequence of being treated as little more than customers with endless pockets by the owners. Ticket price increases, removal of concessions, etc. They have noone to blame but themselves for the poor atmosphere and relationship between fans and team...

β€œMusumba Bwayla, my opponent, is a stupid man and a hopeless player. He has a huge nose and is cross-eyed. Girls hate him. He beat me in a two-hour match because my jockstrap was too tight and because when he serves he farts, and that made me lose my concentration, for which I am famous throughout Zambia.” Lighton Ndefwayl, the Medjian tennis champion, as interviewed in the Times of Zambia

I have no Idea what is going on or what might happen. I guess he will stay but the Lewis family control of the board is an unknown. Will they feel they have to make a statement sacking?

In which case it's entirely accurate. It is awful and I can't see how we're going to change in the short term at least. Money spent on players, new manager, investment in recruitment staff and everybody's angry - manager fans and players

Evening shout for today's piece. That's another fine mess we've got ourselves in. Go on have a pop at the fans. Because it must be our fault.

It's all part of the same theme - club and authorities taking fans for granted. Guarantee tv will have a go at fans for not supporting the side, as per recent comments, oblivious of their central role
