The Hotspur Hovel
Where the joys and agonies of being a Tottenham Hotspur Fan are quietly yelled from a small, dark hut in the woods. #COYS

- Just woke up from a dream where USMNT went down 0-2 in their first World Cup match. I was also playing LW, which may have been a reason…
- Spurs were in need of big ambitions several windows ago. WTF was this guy waiting for, an invitation to figure out these glaring holes??
- “But Spurs Could Not Complete the Deal” The name of a Spurs transfer window book I will write someday
- Please build on this and not let it be flash in the pan! 🙏
- Solanke’s goal really just made my entire weekend.
- A MUCH more entertaining second half!!
- Spurs have to be THE most boring team in the EPL.
- This Spurs lineup… Instills zero confidence in securing points. But, here we go…
- No Djedi-force today is a bummer. Kid is one of the few not afraid to take on players when in possession. Backline depletion is gonna hurt today
- Can’t wait to dive into this one!
- Earthquakes using that “legend” word quite loosely
- Remember when people enjoyed Spurs matchdays? Nothing but trepidation and pitchfork-wielding activity on all social media these days. Make Football Fun Again!! #COYS
- Perhaps Frank signed a “You can’t fire me my first season until we are completely done competing on all front” clause. Boilerplate stuff for Spurs Im assuming…
- ⚽️💩
- Romero!!!!!!! Yea!!!!! CBU strikes again!!!!
- The Good: Offense look liked they wanted the ball and pushed forward nicely. Keep it up!! The Bad: Despite OWNING the ball xG differential is weak. Better shots/defense obviously needed. The Ugly: Not closing out the half strong. Can’t let that goal in. #COYS
- You just had to keep the lead going into the half. Wtf.
- Center back U! We build defensive goal scorers!!! #COYS
- We keep on knocking… Just let us in!!
- Every solid chance seems to evaporate into nothing. 💨 But at least they are getting chances. 🤷♂️ #COYS
- I think the 3 back will help with creativity up front. Also, quite intrigued by Xavi and Odobert setting up shop behind Solanke. Redemption arcs for all! Let’s get these 3 points!! #COYS
- Sonny is gonna win the MLS cup or Supporter’s Shield this season. Maybe both! I can just feel it!
- Pumped for Frank’s EPL redemption arc to start against the lowly Burnley! Oh wait, did I say pumped for? I meant skeptical of…
- Man, free soccer data is getting harder and harder to come by...
- Micky wanting to leave should piss me off, but at this point I completely get it. As fans, we have a lifetime to root for this squad, through thick and paper thin. As a player, your quest for the summit is fleeting and every wasted year reduces the likelihood of accomplishing that dream.
- It does look like they are having much more fun out there tonight. #COYS
- Up a guy, but can't seem to secure possession. It's always something...
- Feels weird not being pissed off at half. #COYS
- If a loss today would lead to Frank’s firing, but a win today would lead to a spot in the UCL Final 16, which would you choose?
- Not sure how long I was a sleep, but was it long enough for Spurs to be good yet
- Niners starting off just as good as Spurs. Why do I root for teams….
- Perhaps, Frank is also wondering how he hasn’t been fired yet. #FrankTheTank
- In other words, the job is too big for him to handle.
- Some might say this season is karma for firing a manager that answered so many prayers for a trophy. #COYS
- When a team that is supposedly better at set pieces than open play takes it short….
- There are no amount of transfers or new manager(s) to save Spurs this season. Downright putrid to watch. #COYS
- A goal against AND another injury. Wtf
- Banging start…
- Ok Gallagher. Let’s turn this whole damn thing around. #COYS
