Best memory and why
Our Europa League victory parade in the N17 sunshine was a wonderful experience. We came out in our thousands to celebrate the end of our trophy drought and it felt like the best family party.

Worst moment and why
While winning a trophy took the edge off the bleakness of finishing 17th in the league in May, losing to Arsenal in November was a particularly painful reminder of just how much work needs to be done to build a Spurs team capable of competing consistently in the Premier League.
If I could drink a New Year’s brew with one member of our squad/management it would be…
I would love to sit down with Thomas Frank and ask him who would be in his favoured starting XI if everyone was fit. I would also like to remind him that to dare is to do, and that the perfect Spurs style requires slightly less pragmatism and much more creativity.

The thing that’s infuriated me in 2025 is…
Injuries are a common frustration in football but we seem to have been plagued by them this year. With key players missing for long periods, it has had a significant negative impact on our ability to make any consistent progress, regardless of who the manager is.
My gut tells me 2026 will bring…
I am hopeful the new year will bring some useful signings in January, and again in the summer, but I am also mindful that we will probably have to endure some more painful parts of the process before we start to reap the rewards of Frank’s project. If everyone can survive that, he will lead us into next season in much better shape.
