Can anybody spot the difference between the Flintstones and Tottenham’s last title triumph?
Clue. The Flintstones are in colour.

Answer: These are just a few of the names who have aided and abetted Tottenham’s league failures over the past 50 years. I’m not saying that all of the above don’t have a League Winners medal – some indeed do. But none of them with Tottenham.

‘holic I considered some statistical analysis of the most common first letter of the last name of all those losers but it might be overkill so I’ll let dead dogs lie. Flintstones bit hilarious. Maybe a chorus of Happy Anniversary at the Emirates on Wednesday? In the meantime, I’m starting to get nervous about Liverpool …
Annoying police? Annoying songs? Maybe that IS about English football!
@Behind You’re starting to get nervous about Liverpool? Why? They have to come to our place, you don’t have to go to theirs. “Please don’t take my hubcaps away!”
Uncle Mike, Seeing as you are in charge of the bar, please send over a hubcap of Guinness to calm the nerves.
Evening Holics,
Barkeep scotch and Darvon please.
I’m with behind the 8 ball. How could one NOT be nervous?
In fairness, the singers are more in tune than any Spuds team I have ever seen………
βJust a little bit of something that wouldn’t let me alone, so I hope it amuses a little, even if the scan isn’t quite there . . .
. . . It was 50 years ago today
that Bil Nicholson taught the team to play ,
they often try to play with style
and often guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I intorduce to you
…The team’s name that rhymes in this verse . . .
The Golden Jubilee Tottenham Hotspurs . . .
We’re Tottenham Hotpsurs Football Club and we’d hoped to have won the league once again by now !
We’re Tottenham Hotspurs Football Club but we can’t last the season’s fatigue and how !
. . . and so on ! Apologies to one of Liverpool’s famous sons for that, which is rather apt for today’s match !
π
I am sure more could be added or the idea tweaked for those at a loose and/or micheivious end !
Make mine a double ! LOL !
or maybe a twist on the the Bryan Adams classic . . .
” You won your last title
with Sheffield Utd done
But it’s such a long time since
The summer of ’61 ! . . . ‘
Again, it’s just an idea, as is The Alarm’s re-woked title ‘ ’61 Spuds ‘ . . . are these set for the terraces of The Grove ? I can only suggest things !
Ok, I’ll stop. I am sure I have had far too much fun already !
π
I meant, of course,
β You won your last title
with Sheffield We’nsday done
But itβs such a long time since
The summer of β61 ! . . .
Oh yeah ! Haha . . . The summer of ’61 !
When ? . . . The summer of ’61 . . .
Sorry, not trying to spam but it was The Owls, not The Blades, I ought to at least get it right . . . ok, I’m done now !
The Rolling Stones, younger than Spurs last league title.
The Berlin Wall, younger than Spurs last league title.
George Clooney, younger than Spurs last league title.
Cuban Missile Crisis, younger than Spurs last league title.
Salt & Vinegar Crisps, younger than Spurs last league title.
Marilyn Monroe was still alive when Spurs last won the league. Happy 50th tiny totts!
