If Spurs 90s nostalgia - Holsten shirts, Klinsmann dives, Gazza free kicks and Christian Gross' tube ticket - is your thing then you're in the right place!
Nice bit of trivia for you...
The last 3 times, before yesterday, that we'd won away at Chelsea we've gone on to finish the season in third place 🤓
2017/18, 1989/90 and 1986/87
Very insightful article here on @WhiteHartRev - great use of data and science to discuss our biggest perennial issue of the last few seasons.
Why Tottenham’s injury crisis could take years to fix whitehartreview.com/post/why…
"I've still got a programme for that season. I've got that bit of grass stapled to it in a little bag."
@TheMartinMurphy still has a piece of the Selhurst Park pitch from the night Spurs reached Wembley in 99.
Did you get on the pitch too?
What's your memory of that night?
Here's the results from the first half of the 98/99 season.
We actually scored more goals than you'd associate with a George Graham team in Nov/Dec.
Which games did you go to or have memories of?
@TheMartinMurphy joined me to discuss this ultimately successful season Link 👇
"I went to see Spurs 0-0 Wimbledon instead of finishing my A-Level Theatre Studies coursework."
Screenwriter and Producer of the amazing Ghost of White Hart Lane @TheMartinMurphy joins me to revisit the 1998/99 season.
When did you over prioritise Spurs??

98/99 Season Review Part 1 with @TheMartinMurphy pod.fo/e/6dbac3
"With Spurs, the realistic hope was always the cups...we're only really looking at four or five seasons in my lifetime where Spurs won a trophy"
@TheMartinMurphy joins me to revisit 1998/99, when that hope finally paid off.
George Graham. David Ginola. Wembley.

98/99 proved to be such an epic season that my review with @TheMartinMurphy is split into two parts.
Part 1 now live 🎧:
The End of Christian Gross
George Graham creating fortress White Hart Lane
The Road to Wembley
+ late 90s culture and turning 18!

This one may not go down too well with @OngarSpurs following his crusade to get Alan Smith cancelled from Spurs games! 😜

Ahead of our first league match v Coventry for 25 years I'm resharing the pod I recorded last year with @ricardo_chambo looking back at some of our 90s meetings and crossovers including Robbie Keane, final day survivals and the legacy of the 87 final.

“George Graham's appointment was the final straw for me...I stopped going...It showed Sugar’s complete lack of understanding of Tottenham Hotspur as a football club.”
Jason McGovern of @LastWordOnSpurs take on the state of THFC.
Was it the final straw for you?
(link below 🎧)
“It was the ultimate contradiction. Alan Sugar had bravely exposed the practice of managers benefiting financially from transfer deals — and now he was prepared to hire a manager convicted of the same offence.”
It was a real honour to get @henrywinter's input to this week's pod!
@henrywinter is one of the voices on this week's special documentary pod that explored one of English football's most contentious managerial appointments of the 90s.

“George Graham in charge of Tottenham Hotspur — it was like finding a chunk of liver in your banana split.”
@DameJulieWelch provides a wonderful metaphor to explain how this managerial appointment felt to many Spurs fans!
The episode is available to listen to now 🎧
