DECEMBER 2017
WELCOME
Only Tottenham Hotspur could follow up an impressive win away at Dortmund in the Champions League, with two draws and a defeat at the hands of far inferior opposition. Those results against Leicester, West Brom and of course Watford, followed the disappointing defeat to Arsenal last month, to leave us winless in four and currently 6th in the league table.
​
Aspirations of a title challenge have seemingly disappeared (as have dreams of my customary end of season holiday!) - however all is not lost, and the season is far from over.
​
We are without doubt, missing Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama. Harry Kane still looks shy of match fitness (although his performances have still been sound) while pictures of Dele Alli can be found on milk cartons all over the US - as we still live in hope that the Dele of last season can be found.
​
However, those of you who remember what it was like to support Tottenham in the 1990's can reflect on our recent run with a rye smile, knowing you've seen it all before. The ups. The downs (of which there were many). However, we have to continue have faith in the current side and the manager - who will inevitably lead us to glory.... maybe...

Clive Allen will be on his way to New Zealand shortly. There will be only two newsletters between now and his arrival.
​
We have secured sponsorship from AIA for a second year in a row, and are two-thirds of the way to raising the investment to finance the trip. We still need to sell tickets, so those who haven't secured there seat, please do so at the earliest opportunity. It will be the only way you can guarantee meeting a Tottenham legend in NZ next year!
​
A football signed by the current squad has also been donated by Tottenham Hotspur. We will auction the ball for Charity, as per our night with Graham Roberts. Bids can be sent to Paul@thfc.co.nz, with the winner announced at our Evening with Clive Allen in Auckland.
