David Puckridge @davidpuckridge wants Spurs to repay Interim Manager, Vicky Jepson, for her work in keeping the club up. Bear with me, there is a point to the following autobiography. Between 2005 & 2007 I worked in Hamleys Toy Store on Regent Street. I would help out the manager of the Lego department because Lego …
The rise of Eveliina
The Finnish international has thrived as a #10 and is increasingly important for Spurs Women Eveliina Summanen came to Spurs in January 2022 from Swedish side Kristianstads DFF. Most news stories about the transfer at the time were brief. She was not a star, nor even widely mooted as an ‘exciting prospect’. Spurs' then-manager, Rehanne …
This one matters.
In this blog @rachellaracohen reflects on Spurs Women's crucial upcoming game. If Spurs Women win against Reading this Saturday we are safe in the WSL for another year. Lose or Draw and, depending on goal difference and how Reading perform against Chelsea in their last game, Spurs may require a point away at West Ham …
Five Questions
Five things @davidpuckridge would like to ask Spurs Interim Manager Vicky Jepson before this weekend's crucial game against Reading. Whenever I watch Vicky Jepson talk I’m impressed with her communication skills; I may not always agree with her but she explains her decision making well. But one of my plaintive cries in regards to the …
Spurs, why do you do this?

Okay, not really. And frankly all I can find of Andy Rogers is his comments accompanying the announcement that Rehanne Skinner had been sacked. No, I …
Celebrating Bethany England
Some strikers score trophy winning goals. Some strikers score goals that dig out their teams in difficult times. I hope that there is a future in which Bethany England wins trophies at Spurs, but right now, with six games remaining, it looks like her goals might keep the club in the top-flight. Bethany England in …
It’s the hope that kills you
A personal reflection on Spurs 1 Arsenal 5 (Brisbane Road) Last time out I was arguing that the North London Derby didn’t mean so much in the WSL given it the gulf between the sides, so I can only imagine how those who really hate Arsenal in whatever form must be feeling. But whichever way …
A Rivalry Like No Other?
Two Spurs fans, Dave Puckridge and Rachel Cohen, provide their perspectives on our rivalry with Arsenal ahead of the North London Derby. One View: Dave At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the long delayed match with Manchester United, the advertising screens frequently called the crowd’s attention to the Women’s North London Derby with the dramatic …
That winning feeling
Sometimes you have to lose a lot of games to properly relish a win. And we waited for this one a long time: nine games or 136 days. Spurs’ last win – that eight-goal false-dawn at Brighton – was back on the 30th of October: Rishi Sunak had that week taken office, England had not …
