What a test match, what a series.

We were in phase 1, logged on as soon as the window opened and grabbed what were literally the only pair of seats together in the South Stand. Apparently renewal rate was very high.

What a night seeing Bruce Springsteen at Anfield. Oh, and Paul McCartney joined for a couple of songs including β€˜Can’t Buy Me Love.’ Just brilliant.

Watching Hammersmith β€˜75 on BBC2, what a treat. Hard to believe Bruce thought he had flopped that night. Cannot wait until Anfield next week.

A great listen and what a fine book that is.

Enjoyed that, some great background on Mickey’s formative years.

Violin solo Z Cars got me and I don’t even support Everton! How many people were thinking of people they went to the match with who are now no longer with us.

Excellent performance last night, a ridiculous but ultimately memorable season. Hopefully Levy isn’t out buying watches this morning. #COYS

Just finished watching it. Excellent and beautifully filmed.

Sadly, if some reports are to be believed, we might get to sing something nearly or equally as bad.

Currently have the Kindle version but I really like the different cover. Will definitely be getting a copy.

Well said, especially around the opaqueness of the system.

Generally good news, better than expected. I don’t like the change to Ticket Share though as I have shared a ticket with friends who may only wish to go once or twice a season. Obviously we know what the motive is and also, why is the actual number of senior concessions such a big secret?

Beautifully written Alexandra. As a Tottenham fan we went through similar emotions eight years ago. Nostalgic and exciting at the same time. A bit different though as the new ground is, give or take a few yards, on the same site as the old WHL.

Just to point out, in Hunter Davies’ column it incorrectly says that Manchester United were relegated in 1975, it was actually 1974. Tottenham being relegated in 1977 is sadly correct.

They might also be more understanding of the situation caused by the removal of senior supporters concessions, many of who were around the last time we went down.

He certainly seems to be feeling the pressure at times but from what I have read and heard about him I would be surprised if he’s not up for the challenge. Of course, it may all be taken out of his hands.

The same manager who last week said he hopes to be the beneficiary of the young talent at the club in two or three years time and would be angry if someone else was getting it?

Excellent listening, a pleasure to hear the legendary @steveperryman.bsky.social talking about the great man.

What a lovely photo. The best goalkeeper we ever had and an absolute gentleman. Hopefully Antonin will have his own illustrious career at Tottenham.

From his comments last night and previously, I think Ange would enjoy reading @daisychristo.bsky.social excellent book β€˜I Can’t Stop Thinking About VAR.’

Especially those of us who don’t spend a lot in the ground or rarely visit the shop.

The word salad that accompanied it didn’t exactly raise my expectations of that. We live in hope though.

No football interest in an immigrant family but being born, growing up and starting school close to Tottenham just made it the natural and obvious choice.

Agree Adam, they have some really good people there. A lovely lady helped me with a season ticket move a while back and couldn’t have been more helpful.
