Shay Given is a fantastic keeper but if he starts acting like Jens Lehmann, that’s exactly how we’ll treat him.

Anyone with half a brain - although that doesn’t usually apply to London people - can see that Shay Given is an outstanding keeper and most certainly doesn’t deserve jeering and abuse like that. If you are going to use such foul language, save it for Arsenal or West Ham.

Never mind, I can remember Spurs beating us at home, somewhere around 1969 and I think it was 3-1. We befriended one poor Spurs fan who was scared shitless he’d get beaten up on the way out. Somehow he’d found himself with a ticket in the home supporters’ bit. “All my friends are over there” he kept wailing, but we kept him safe.

I came onto this site quite by accident. I was researching a Victorian card, “In memory of Tottenham”. The verse rune like this:

“When you’ve shouted play up Tottenham,
and you’ve been and seen the match,
When you’ve finished killing the players
with your mouth;
Will you kindly pay a penny for a little
mem’ry card,
Of the Gentlemen in knickers from the
South?
They are goal-scoring beggars; and their
prowess it is great,
But today we shall know where to find ‘em,
For we’re out on active service, wiping
points off Tottenham slate,
And today they have left the cup behind
‘em
Big men, little men, men of every kind:
Thousands of spectators watching the match
to-day,
Each of ‘em proud of the team they support
and this we bear in mind,
That when we meet a good team we can
play, play, play.

Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem pro-Spurs at all. I think, like my friend of old, I’ve gone to the wrong end. Was it a cup-final or something?
