With less than a week until Transfer Nuclear Armageddon (or Transfer Deadline Day) is upon us once again, what Tottenham Hotspur must do is not so much dream of the future, but like any good historian, learn the lessons of the past. That’s because there was a time seven and a half years ago when […]
1. There are four games every season which a feel extremely uncomfortable watching for one reason or another, with those being our away ties against Spurs, City, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Tottenham’s start to the season has been solid without ever truly being convincing. They’ve accumulated a decent total but no more than that, while performances have only rarely dazzled.
