I know quite a few Spurs fans. I’m sure you do too! Heck, maybe you are one. There’s a lot of it about. Well there is at the moment anyway.

There will be quite a few eligible to play as well. Not only do the lilywhites get to cheer on the likes of Defoe, Crouch, Lennon, King and now Dawson. They can also look out for Gomes in the Brazil squad, Palacios of Honduras and Assou-Ekkoto of Cameroon. If rumours are true, Joe Cole is about to join the gang. Most English players are contractually obliged to play for Spurs at some point in their careers so it was surely meant to be.

Harold (Harry isn’t right any more, also Harold should be pronounced as Steptoe’s dad would) must be over there with ITV. The perpetual wheeler and dealer with a face like a bag of marshmallows has almost certainly brought his chequebook, so by July the eleventh there could well be a lot more.

These Spurs fans, and I accept that I don’t know all of them, but it appears to me that these Spurs fans are different to other football fans. I say different, what I think I mean is that they are exactly the same as all football fans…but more so. They have a heightened lack of self-awareness inherent in all football followers. Necessary I’d say, if you were obliged to check your sense of humour at the gate every time you go to a game.

I know what you are thinking; this is all a little uncalled for, a bit over the top. I can’t really say I’ve got a great reason for going after Tottingham. What it comes down to is lots and lots of research…all right, lots and lots of conversations about the World Cup, but research never the less. Try it for yourself, break the habit of a lifetime, have yourself a conversation about football.

If you are a bit short of conversation gambits, let me help…

…Who will be England’s first choice goalkeeper?
Will we miss Rio?
Can Gerrard and Lampard finally play together?
Who is the perfect foil for Rooney?
Was Fabio right to bring Carragher back?

…If the responses you get are along the lines of…
I’ve no idea who the goalkeepers are.
I reckon 95% of right thinking football fans would rate Michael Dawson above Rio.
As long as they’ve got Lennon, Defoe, King, Crouch and Dawson to help…yes!
Frankly, I’d start with Jermaine and Crouchy.
I’d say Ledley King.

…You are probably taking to a Spurs fan
