I don’t think you actually understand what that means. So I’ll tell you. Six coaches left Lee Valley at 11.30am this morning. They’ll get back at after 4am. Most supporters have taken at least a day’s annual leave. And they deserved SO MUCH MORE than that shower of shit.
When I think of Dele leaving, my heart feels heavy. What an exceptional talent he was. What a wonderful, gifted player who sat at the heart of THAT team. The team that made us love football again. Love Spurs again. The last embers of that magic era.
Be lucky, Dele. 💙
I don’t give a shit about the £100m. None of it is going anywhere near my bank account. I also have no faith in the Club Board investing it wisely. Harry Kane is irreplaceable. What is this game about without aspirations and ambition? Nothing. It’s nothing. Absolutely nothing. 😡
With some of the highest ticket prices in Europe comes expectation. Fans fully justified in expressing frustration and anger at not just this performance but the entire direction of travel at the Club at the moment. It’s simply not good enough and needs addressing. Urgently.
Can I just say how much I love
@Madders10
. Geeing up the crowd at 0-1. Theatrically remonstrating with the referee. Having ‘cramp’ at 2-1. He fits us like a glove. He was born - BORN - to play for

There’s been a bit of Twitter noise around my account over the last 24 hours. I wanted to take the time to respond, and to apologise. Thank you in advance for reading.
Fans are quite rightly FURIOUS with Conte running his mouth off to the press and throwing shade on the whole of our Club. We all know there are problems. But this is utterly unprofessional. He needs to go. Gross misconduct.
#COYS
In my 9 years on the
@THSTOfficial
board, this is one of the most complex but ultimately wonderful projects we’ve worked on. Absolute credit to the determination of
@robawhite
and the talented
@MurWalls
. Hope you love this as much as we do 👇
#KingOfN17
Great game of football, that. One of those where you’re totally absorbed, kick every ball, feel every tackle. Where your heart races for 90 minutes and you watch injury time through your fingers. When you can’t sleep for hours until the adrenaline goes.
Magic. Up the Spurs. 💙
Now Newcastle is under new ownership, any chance they can actually allocate an away section next to the pitch, as required under Premier League rules, rather than forcing visiting supporters to sit two miles up, on a cloud? 🤷♀️🤷♂️
#NoTo140Steps
Having registered the death of my own mother earlier today, my thoughts are with the Royal Family on the loss of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at what will be an incredibly difficult and upsetting time. May she rest in peace.🕯🕊
Really fitting tribute to Jimmy Greaves at half time. And
@Coytey
was absolutely the man to carry those interviews. Momentous mistake moving Paul on from half time duties. That reception spoke volumes. Take notice, Spurs.
Jesus Christ. These match day prices are horrific. The ‘generosity’ of freezing Season Tickets and the recognition of the cost of living crisis on fans lasted a hot minute. For an example, a Cat A in my seat was £62. It’s now £78. WTAF??? 😡😡😡
Last day on the
@THSTOfficial
Board. Those of you who are Trust members can hear me say Thank You and Goodbye in person at the AGM tonight. Those of you who aren’t will miss a treat 🤣🤣🤣. It’s been a wild ten years, that’s for sure!! 😩🎉🥳
After almost a decade of volunteering, I’ll be off the
@THSTOfficial
board next month. Those remaining are decent, dedicated, honest fans who care deeply about
#Spurs
and don’t deserve the utter bile that comes their way every time things go south. It’s shameful, tbh.
I lost my brilliant mum to cancer six months ago. Today is a tough day for me and I appreciate every message of support and kindness from some very good people. Thank you. Thinking of everyone else in a similar position this Mother’s Day x
Up at 7am on a Saturday for a 225 mile drive to the bright lights of Preston. This is what it’s all about. There’s nothing better than an FA Cup trip. 5600
#Spurs
fans at Deepdale later today. Proper ground, proper support. Cannot wait
#COYS
Everyone who’s written to or tweeted
@THSTOfficial
about the music pre match killing the atmosphere, I’m in total agreement. Need to give a chance for the stadium to find its voice, not drown it out with random noise. Please rethink
@SpursOfficial
I’m angry at myself tonight. For thinking this was a brand new dawn. For being seduced by a Robbie Williams video. I know better. That was a typical Tottenham cup performance. And it stunk. No excuses. There’s a reason we struggle to win silverware. 😡
Been called a Maggot and a Weasel so far today for not personally ensuring
#Spurs
get some transfers over the line. Still, I guess this is a step up from Vermin, which was the 202O winner. Happy Friday, everyone! 🎉😘
Surely SURELY now, one of the highly paid Board Directors at
@SpursOfficial
needs to step into what is becoming a gaping chasm rather than just your average void and tell the supporters WTAF the plan is moving forwards. The silence is deafening. 🤐😫
.
@Darrenla
and I had a meeting with
@SpursOfficial
in 2013 where we asked if Can’t Smile Without You could be played at every home game. The
#CSWY
flag flew at the first game after his passing in March 2014 and tonight, 8 years on, it was wonderful to hear it before kick off. 💙
Totally unacceptable performance. As much as the spotlight is on ENIC and their repeated miscomprehension of the
#Spurs
DNA, scrutiny should also be on Conte. Tactically inept. Yet again. Something needs to give.
#COYS
If you’re going out, go out with a bang. With passion. With fight. With commitment. With ambition. Time is up for Conte now. Get it done. Let’s all move on. For the love of god, end it.
ST renewal announcement is due soon. After awarding the chairman a £500k bonus, 20% pay rises for Board Execs, huge uncertainty around the manager, DoF, key players, general direction of the Club, and in the midst of a cost of living crisis, SURELY they can’t put prices up? 😫😫
Don’t talk to me about understanding the
#Spurs
DNA, because EVERYONE who really understands the
#Spurs
DNA knows how important the FA Cup is. Yet year after year, we look like we cannot be arsed. Shameful disregard for the competition that this Club is built on. 😡
With my time on the
@THSTOfficial
Board ending, I’m delighted to be starting a new chapter working on behalf of
@WeAreTheFSA
to further develop supporter dialogue throughout the professional and national game with the
@FA
. Can’t wait to get going! 💪⚽️
I take absolutely no pleasure in this whatsoever. But there comes a time when saying nothing makes you complicit. And this is too important to let quietly slip away.
Remembering Darren Alexander on his 52nd birthday. A huge
#Spurs
fan with a huge personality and a huge heart, Darren cared passionately about his club and its fans, and I’m confident he would be loving Big Ange and Ange Ball at the moment. Never forgotten. 🤍
Interested in hearing from fans who were travelling significant distances to the
#NLD
tomorrow. Where were you coming from and are you out of pocket? If so, by how much? Please reply below. Thank you.
Travelling to see my mother in the Chapel of Rest today. Thoughts and strength with others who’ve suffered the loss of a loved one in the last fortnight who are respectfully finding the period of national mourning a little difficult to handle in addition to their personal grief x
Today would have been
@DarrenLA
’s 50th Birthday. Much has changed since he left us, but not Spurs. Sure he’s having a Jäger up there, cursing our back line and simultaneously composing an offensive but genius chant. Raise a glass to Darren today. Always remembered.
#COYS
I bloody love the
@EmiratesFACup
. Starting supporting
#Spurs
after the greatest goal in the greatest final ever in ‘81 and it’s still a magical competition to me. Thirty years of hurt never stopped me dreaming.
#COYS
When you’re watching the Everton match tonight, take a moment to raise a glass to one of our own, taken from us 8 years ago today,
@DarrenLa
. Always remembered wherever and whenever Spurs gather. 💙
I’ve genuinely loved working with so many exceptional people at the Trust, throughout the supporter movement and at the Club. Thanks to each and everyone of you. And thanks for all the love on here today, too.

📣 Some news from the THST Board. Co-chairs
@Katspur71
@MartinCloake
will be stepping down from their positions at the Q3 Trust Board Meeting on 14 July, with Treasurer Adam Bailey departing at the end of the financial year. Full story here 👇
60% of
@premierleague
games now off this weekend. You have to wonder when this becomes a competitive integrity question as well as a public health one. A bad situation made worse by a universal lack of leadership anywhere, it seems.
Thanks so much for the love at the
@THSTOfficial
AGM tonight. Really touching tribute by
@RachelVMartin
that made me a little dusty. Here’s my farewell speech if anyone is exceptionally bored this evening 👇
End of an era! Just wanted to put on record how much I’ve enjoyed working with
@MartinCloake
as my partner in crime at Trust Towers over the last 8 or so years. It’s been demanding, challenging but also fantastic. We’ve had some belly laughs amid the stress! Thank you, MC 🤜🤛
@tkeith82
@THSTOfficial
@premierleague
Would be nice, yes! And the catering staff who’ve been in since 6am. And the coach drivers about to set off to collect over 1000 supporters. The PL seem to have little idea what it takes to run a match day operation full stop!
Would politely suggest they reconsider Season Ticket price rises. Already staggeringly high for mediocre football and no clarity on the manager, DoF, key players and Club direction. Good grief. 💰💰💰
Daniel Levy to start new permanent manager hunt immediately
#thfc
- Naggelsmann tops list and open to approach
- Doubts over Paratici future grow
- Season ticket price hike considered
- No sign of Kane renewal
Huge hats off to
@thfcflags
for having the courage of their convictions and for standing by their principles here.
Time for the FAB and
@THSTOfficial
to do similar.
The attack on Seniors is immoral & utterly disgraceful.
Retire all flags in the stadium until this is reversed.
Clearly tonight is an extremely important game for Spurs in general but it’s an extra important one for me. Like so many of my generation without family ties to Tottenham, this is where the journey started. Man City in the Cup in 1981. And what a journey it’s been so far 💙
#COYS
What an amazing feeling. In just 3 games, Ange Postecoglou has reconnected with the fans, rediscovered our identity and put smiles back on our faces. So far, so extremely good.
#COYS
👏👏👏
Absolute hats off to anyone taking time off work to support the team at Burnley tonight. Not a quick or easy place to get to at the best of times. Doubly so on a Wednesday night. Let’s hope the trip is a successful one. Safe travels,
#Spurs
⚽️💙🤍
There have been times over that last decade when I’ve doubted the appetite of our fan base to resist and challenge the decisions of the Spurs Board. Today restored my faith in us a collective. Thank you so much to everyone who turned their back on 65. Together we are unstoppable.

@sporting_CP
fans protesting against the €60
@SpursOfficial
charged their fans this evening. Wholeheartedly back this. The ‘Football Business’ needs to remember why it exists and who is serves.
@FansEurope
Taking time to remember Darren Alexander this morning on the ninth anniversary of his death at the age of just 42. Darren was a giant amongst
#Spurs
fans and left a tremendous legacy. Enjoy some Haribo and Jägers up there today, Darren 💙 x
During difficult times, football can offer solace, respite and much-needed familiarity. Looking forward to seeing my
#Spurs
family today, and also taking time to remember Darren Alexander on what would have been his 51st birthday. Rest easy, Darren and Up The Spurs ⚽️💙
If you’re frustrated at the early ST Renewal deadline, write to SupporterServices

could not have been clearer how this was going to be received. Sometimes it takes ALL of us to move a mountain. We need YOUR help and your voice. 🤜🤛
Taking money from pensioners while awarding himself a £3m bonus? The absolute front of our Chairman and Board.
Turn that dial up to ten. Let the games begin.
@SaveOurSenior66
Spurs wage bill ⬆️ 20% to £251m. Chairman Daniel Levy defends his increase in pay from £3.265m to £3.581m PLUS a £3m bonus by saying “have you seen the increase in ticket prices for next season? They’re brutal”
The most bizarre phone call from my doctor’s surgery this morning. My tickets for Middlesbrough away have been delivered there?! Totally random. Doctor Tottenham will see me now ;)
What a perfect end to Moura’s time at
#Spurs
. He gave us one of the best moments of our lives, and that was a fitting, joyous and emotional way to sign off. Best of luck for the future, Lucas
#COYS
There are a few small wins in here, like no booking fees on ST renewals, a longer ST renewal window, mechanism for members to move tickets on when fixtures change etc. But these are dwarfed by an excessive 6% price hike, without justification, and the appalling attack on Seniors.
Would be amazing if every fan who is incensed by today’s ticketing announcement - particularly the removal of senior concessions - was willing to show that passion in person at our next home match. We’ll only move the dial by collective, tangible action.
I’m here for the fight.
10 years ago today, we lost an activist, a campaigner, a pioneer and a visionary in Darren Alexander. A big loss to the supporters movement and the Spurs family, he is remembered constantly and missed often. I’m so grateful to have known him. Continue to rest in peace, Darren x
Delighted someone got a picture of this before the Stewards ordered its removal. Wonder who ordered the Stewards to order its removal, though? 🤔🤔🤔
#StopExploitingLoyalty
That was a rollercoaster! So proud of the team and their determination in such a high pressure match. It’s early days under Ange. We learn from every game. We get stronger every game. And we hold our heads up high today. 👏👏👏
