The first half was embarrassing. We couldn’t string a pass together. Were shrugged off every ball. It was like watching a non league team.

Better in the second half. But still creating so little.

Obvs will give him time but a lot to worry about. When do we see positive change?

Got a local one here in SE London for nomadic Spurs dads. It’s cathartic. Mostly just group therapy.

You’re right. November 2014.

Me too. It didn’t matter who we played, if they scored first, or if it was 0-0 for most of the game. You just knew. He created a shift from top to bottom.

I think the whole club must know that now. Look at the money we’ve spent and wasted since. Imagine a fraction of it given to him.

I knew it was my favourite Spurs period by some way, but I don’t think I realised just how lucky we were.

The team, the youngsters, the manager + Kane.

Yes. No doubt about it.

The opposition, the angle, the noise, the crowd, the celebration.

Pure unadulterated joy.

Yes please. More of this…

One of them I'd nearly forgotten about. Some weren't my experiences, they were told to me third of fourth hand - but they are still just as powerful.

I'll add a link to the full speech. But please look after yourselves, it has some emotional points and references self harm youtu.be/tGaPWJTJc1I?...

Think about the two or three examples you've got that help you know the difference giving can make. Maybe even include a real example that angers you - that shows what happens if you're not there. And a few that show hope.

The stories in this speech spanned 12 years….
