20. * Without a doubt our greatest manager is [Bill Nicholson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Nicholson_(footballer), winning us the League twice, the FA cup 3 times and the UEFA cup once amongst others as well as playing for us for a long period.
21. * Tottenham have a strong Jewish connection and, as a result, we often are called/call ourselves Yids. The [OED even included Spurs supporters](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/f2t5z2/the_oxford_english_dictionary_has_changed_the/) as a definition for Yid in their 2020 version, to some public backlash.

30. ##Tottenham's History##
31. * Tottenham were formed in 1882 by the Hotspur Cricket Club from the local Grammar School, originally being named 'Hotspur FC' we played on Tottenham Marshes. In 1899 we moved to the current site on White Hart Lane. In 1901 Spurs become the only non-League club to win the FA challenge cup. In 1951 we won the League for the first time, and in 1961 we do the double, retaining the FA cup in 1962. In 1963 we win the European Cup-Winners' Cup. In 1967 Spurs win the FA cup for the fifth time. In 1971 we win the league cup, the following year we win the UEFA cup. In 1973 we win the Football League Cup again, making us the only club at the time to do so. In 1977 we were relegated to the second division. In '78 we sign Ricky Villa and Ossie Ardiles, the great Argentinian pair. In '78 we returned straight back into the first division, in '81 we win the FA cup again and in '82 on our centenary year we win it again for the 7th time. In 1984 we win the UEFA Cup for the second time. In 1991 we win the FA cup for the 8th time. In 1994 we signed the great German Jurgen Klinsmann, who quickly went on to become a legend. In '99 we win the League Cup for the 3rd time.
32. * In 2007 we celebrated our 125th year, and signings that year included Gareth Bale. In 2008 we beat rivals Arsenal 5-1 in the semis and Chelsea 2-1 in the final to win the League Cup a 4th time. In the summer of '08 signings included Luka Modric, and Redknapp took over as manager. * In 2010 we were battling as always for a champions league spot. With a tough run of games and other teams performing, it was a very tall order, however, we went on to beat Arsenal and then Chelsea in back to back games, then going on to beat Man City 1-0 to secure the champions league position! In the summer of 2010, we sign the much-beloved Van Der Vaart who quickly won the hearts of fans. In the 2010/11 season, we reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, only to be knocked out by Real Madrid. Along the way to those quarters, we beat the reigning champions Inter Milan, with Gareth Bale putting performances in over both legs that would get him internationally recognised. In 2012 we open a new word class training facility in Enfield, in that same year we beat Man United at Old Trafford for the first time in over 2 decades. In the summer of 2013 we sell Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for a record 100 million Euros. Using this money we sign 7 new players including Christian Eriksen. One of our most recent legends, and recently retired is Ledley King. A home-grown academy centre back who only played for us. He scored the fastest goal in premier league history. He is a living legend.
33. * In May 2014, Mauricio Pochettino was appointed as manager and would go on to take the club to its highest heights in the Premier League and Champions League eras. In his first season in charge, Poch took a gamble on Harry Kane that would prove to be a stroke of genius. Kane became a breakout player and Spurs achieved 5th place in Pochettino's first season. In his second season, Pochettino had Spurs firmly in the title race. An odd season, many of the normal top contenders were hit by injuries and poor play and Tottenham narrowly trailed Leicester City for much of the season. A 2-2 draw to Chelsea sealed Spurs inability to win the league and cemented Leicester's impossible title. Spurs would end the season in third, behind arch-rivals Arsenal for the 22nd consecutive season. Around this time, Spurs broke ground on a new stadium, which meant that much of the 2016-17 season (Pochettino's third) was played in a less-than-capacity stadium. Once again, Pochettino's Spurs were high flying, spending most of the season in the European spots. After a win at Watford on New Year's Day, Spurs moved into the top three and would go on to take 47 out of a possible 57 points in the second half of the campaign. Despite the near-perfect record, losses against Liverpool and West Ham (as well as draws against City and Sunderland) would prove costly, with Chelsea winning the Premier League by 7 points. Spurs second-place finish and 86 points in the league remain as club bests in the Premier League era, and also marked their first in a run of consecutive finished above Arsenal in the Premier League. In the 2017-18 campaign, Spurs were forced to play at Wembley for their home matches while a new stadium was under construction. Despite a disappointing showing in Europe the previous season, Spurs finished top of their group over Real Madrid and would kick on to the Round of 16. In the first leg, Spurs managed two crucial away goals in Turin in a 2-2 draw with Juventus. In the second leg, Spurs scored first and looked hopeful to advance before two second-half goals in the span of four minutes sent Juventus through on aggregate. Domestically, Spurs would finish third, earning their third consecutive Champions League berth. * In his fifth season (2018-19), Pochettino set his sights on finally winning an ever-elusive trophy. Domestically, Spurs would finish fourth, above Arsenal yet again, who would finish in fifth, one point below us. The real excitement came on the European front, with Spurs narrowly avoiding an embarrassing third-place finish in group play thanks to a head-to-head away goals advantage against Inter. Spurs would shut out Dortmund over two legs, advancing to face City in the quarterfinals. In the first leg, Spurs would get their third consecutive shutout, a 1-0 home win against City, crucially denying their opponent an away goal. In the second leg, a frenzied first half saw five goals score in the first 21 minutes of play, and at halftime, the clubs were tied 3-3 on aggregate. A Bernardo Silva goal in the 59' minute put City up 4-2 (4-3) and it looked as though Spurs were doomed to a disappointing exit yet again. But in the 73' minute, a Spurs corner caromed off of Fernando Llorente's hip and into the City goal. Despite protests of handball, VAR showed that the ball only hit his hip, and that crucial goal equalised the aggregate score at [4-4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQcrSbBZR4), giving Spurs the win on the away goals rule. In the semi-final, Spurs fate looked doomed yet again. After losing the first leg at home to Ajax, Spurs trailed 2-0 at halftime of the second leg (3-0 on aggregate) and all looked lost. Two goals in five minutes, just before the hour mark, by Lucas Moura gave Spurs hope, and in the 96' minute, [Lucas completed his astonishing hat-trick](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY5stQvwkBA). This put the score level on aggregate at 3-3, sending Spurs to their first final in the Champions League era on away goals. The Final would prove to be a devastating blow for Spurs. Just 23 seconds into the match, a Sadio Mane cross hit the outstretched arm of Mousa Sissoko, giving Liverpool a penalty which was converted by Mohamed Salah. As the Final wore on, Spurs had to resort to more and more aggressive attacks in an attempt to equalize, leaving them vulnerable at the back. A Divock Origi goal on 87' would seal Spurs' fate, both in the short and long term.
34. * After their incredible run, the Spurs dressing room never quite seemed to have recovered emotionally. Still reeling from the loss, Spurs were faced with a multitude of distractions in the following campaign, including an Amazon documentary, injuries to Kane and Son, and the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Conservative spending to fund the new stadium meant that a much-needed squad refresh wasn't on the way, and Spurs looked every bit defeated in the new campaign. The free-flowing, swashbuckling attacking style and defensive soundness that Pochettino's Spurs were normally known for were noticeably absent, and Spurs won just 3 of their first 12 matches of the 2019-20 campaign. Sitting in 14th place during the third international break, Pochettino was sacked overnight on November 19th and Jose Mourinho was brought in the next day to right the ship.
35. * Mourinho's Spurs played a much more conservative style, but showed flashes of realizing the squad's potential. After the "new manager bounce" saw Spurs jump to fifth, the remainder the season was spent fighting for the last remaining European places. Domestically, Spurs would finish in sixth place, ending the run of Champion's League qualifications and returning Spurs to Thursday night football in the Europa League. In Europe, Spurs Champion's League hopes for a final run were cut short quickly, with a 4-0 aggregate loss to RB Leipzig in the first round of the knockout stage. In what was to be his first full season in charge (2020-21), Mourinho's Spurs were the Premier League standard bearers for much of the first half of the season. For a full month in November/December, Spurs sat top of the table, having allowed no more than a single goal to every Premier League opponent, save West Ham and Southampton. A 2-0 win in the North London Derby would prove to be the height of Spurs season. Cracks began to show and rumours spread of locker room dissent after a 1-1 draw to Crystal Palace. Spurs would take just 1 of 9 points over their next three matches and drop out of the European Places. The struggles would continue on and off the pitch as Mourinho struggled to get the results his CV had promised. With Spurs sat in 7th place in the Premier League, and having already been dumped out of the Europa League by a manager-less Zagreg despite a 2-0 win in the first leg, Mourinho's side looked bereft of positivity. Less than 18 months after taking over, Mourinho was sacked just prior to the League Cup final, to much controversy and debate, given that Mourinho was well-known for winning cup finals.
36. * In his stead, Ryan Mason was appointed as caretaker manager for the remainder of the season. Though Spurs showed flashes of brilliance on occasion, the squad's overall weakness in quality, and the need for a rebuild that former manager Pochettino had long called for, were evident. Spurs managed 4 wins in 6 to end the campaign, but the two losses proved costly. Spurs finished 7th behind West Ham and Leicester, missing out on the traditional European Places and finding themselves in the maiden Europea Conference League for the following season. Spurs win on the final matchday cemented this final European spot and gave fans something to cheer for, as Spurs finished above Arsenal for the fifth consecutive season.
37. * After a somewhat farcical managerial search, Spurs appointed Nuno Espírito Santo as manager at the end of June, promising a return to Spur's "DNA" of attacking, free-flowing football. With less than 10 matches in charge of the new squad, it is difficult to determine how Nuno's tenure will pan out.

40. ##Where We Play and How We Play##
41. Tottenham are a team based in North London, surprisingly in Tottenham! We started out playing on Tottenham marshes before moving to our current location on White Hart Lane. From 1899 to 2017, Spurs played in a stadium of the same name -  36,284 capacity fully enclosed, full seater stadium. In 2007, the club began looking to redevelop the Ground. In 2014 the project finally broke ground with a new stadium to be built on the same site with an integrated shopping centre, flats, and more community oriented facilities. After going over-time and over-budget, the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium opened on 3 April 2019. At 62,850 capacity, Spurs new stadium has two separate, retractable fields, and is designed to accommodate both football and NFL matches, as well as concerts and other events. The club has yet to sign a naming rights deal with any sponsors on the new stadium.
42.  
43. Both at home and away, Tottenham are known for playing fast, attacking, exciting football, as we have been known to do. Our mottos "To Dare is to Do" and "The Game is About Glory" reinforce this. Tottenham are not known as a club that are likely to settle for a draw, nor are we a club that will park the bus. See: Chelsea 5-3, Arsenal 3-2, Man Utd 3-2, Arsenal 5-1, Inter Milan 4-3 and 3-1. We have been known to play counter-attacking football, but more recently we have played the build-up game through midfield with inverted wingers. Our previous coach, Mauricio Pochettino, played a high line with team pressing of the opposition. Players who epitomised Tottenham as a club included Hoddle, Van Der Vaart, Christian Eriksen, and Gareth Bale. Under the more recent leadership of Mourinho, and now Nuno, Spurs have played a more conservative style of counter-attacking football, allowing the opposition to have much of the possession and waiting for opportunities to strike. This style has proven unpopular with loyal Spurs supporters, who have repeatedly implored the club chairman, Daniel Levy, to appoint managers that coach a more exciting style of play.
44.  
45.  
46. ##Rivalries##
47. Tottenham's biggest, fiercest and most important rivalry, is that with Arsenal. It is one of the biggest, fiercest and most exciting derbies in the premier league. Arsenal are most commonly referred to as the scum, gooners or just plain cunts by most Tottenham fans.
48.  
49. Arsenal were formed as Dial Square in 1886 by the workers of Royal Arsenal, an arms manufacturer in Woolwich, ***South*** London. The club was later renamed as Woolwich Arsenal. Because Arsenal were in the arse end of nowhere in South London, they were effectively bankrupt by 1910. To solve their financial problems, they moved to Highbury in North London (just 3 miles from White Hart Lane) in 1913 after being relegated to the second division. Arsenal only finished 5th in the 1914/15 season but were still elected to join the reformed first division in 1919 (after WW1) ***at our expense***.
50.  
51. Some books report this election to be by dubious means... The football league was to be expanded to 22 leagues after the war, and when this had previously been done naturally the bottom 2 teams of Division 1 were always included, thus Tottenham would be. At the time the current football league chairman was good friends with an owner of Arsenal FC and decided that two teams in the second division would apply for a place in the first division, and this place would be Tottenham's position (due to Chelsea being exempt). The board were "encouraged" to vote for Arsenal as they had been in the League for the longest, and were voted to be in division 1 over Tottenham by 10 votes. This is the start of the great rivalry between Tottenham and Arsenal.
52.  
53. The first meeting between these two clubs was in 1909, and since then we have met a total of 179 times. This fixture is known as the [North London Derby](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_London_derby) and it is the highest-scoring fixture in premier league history.
54.  
55. One of the "biggest" names known between these two clubs in Sol Campbell. An excellent centre back who played for us between 1992-2001, he royally fucked us over by leaving to join ARSENAL on a free transfer in the summer of 2001 after saying he would stay. This left Tottenham shorthanded in more ways than one. Campbell is commonly known as Judas to Spurs fans all over now, "we hate you so, because we loved you" rings very true with this man. Even after leaving Arsenal nearly 10 years ago and retiring 4 years ago, he is still widely hated amongst spurs fans, and you can hear [this chant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxoTceqaBqk) echo around White Hart Lane. [His return to White Hart Lane](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF3uTAp2TNE) in Arsenal Colours was more than hostile, it was pure hatred. No Tottenham fan likes this man.
56.  
57. The North London Derby always produces great games. Here are some of the best:
58.  
59. * [Tottenham 3-1 Arsenal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4TfBcyfd-4) (1991) FA Cup Semifinal

65. * [Arsenal 4-4 Tottenham](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuYAXpNYF8s) (2008) Premier League

68.  
69. * [Tottenham 3-3 Arsenal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbuOl0IMGbA) (2011) Premier League
70.  
71. Tottenham also have big rivalries with the other London Clubs Chelsea and West Ham. Chelsea are a very easily hate-able team, they bought their success using the money of Abramovich, they have always had very dislikeable players like Cole, Drogba and Terry and generally have been labelled as cheaters. Some notable wins against Chelsea include the [2-1 win against them in the 2008 League Cup final](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgKA09adN0s), and the [5-3 victory against them](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUDF5gPw80I) at home in 2015
72.  
73. West Ham fans have always been toxic, to name but a few of the worst things they do is hiss at spurs matches to mimic the sound of gas chambers in concentration camps due to our Jewish heritage. Some memorable wins against them include the [3-2 comeback with a Gareth Bale wonderstrike](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2snd05ttVE), along with the [4-3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vxUTsvLKUk) with a Stalteri 95th minute winner.

135. ##How do I get tickets to games?##
136. General ticketing information and sales can be found on the Tottenham Hotspur website **[here](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/tickets/buy-tickets/home-tickets/)**.
137.  
138. An /r/coys wiki [**found here**](https://www.reddit.com/r/coys/wiki/ticketguide) has a more detailed explanation that this short summary below.
139.  
140. When without a membership, it's generally easier to get tickets for non-league games in cup competitions, especially the earlier rounds and the group stages. However, it isn't hard to get memberships if needed. Generally speaking, ticketing for Spurs games is done on a membership basis ranked like so, and these memberships give you priority to buy tickets to games before they are put on general sale. This is recommended for league games.
141.  
142. * **Platinum, Gold and Silver**: These are all Season Ticket holder memberships, don't worry about these. The queue for a season ticket is massive. If you are thinking about joining the list you need a bronze membership (see below).
143. * **Bronze**: A new Bronze membership costs £57.00, and £47.00 to renew. It puts you on the season ticket waiting list, and most importantly, puts you in an extra priority queue to buy tickets. This is highly recommended if you want to buy league tickets (unless you want to go an alternative route, see below).
144. * **Lillywhite**: This membership gives you the same advantages as bronze membership minus the season ticket waiting list and there is slightly less ticket priority. This costs £42 new and to renew.
145.  
146. * **Alternative Methods**: If for one reason or another you do not want to go down the membership route, you can try and buy tickets through Stubhub, however the prices on stubhub will far exceed normal. You can also try [@HotspurTickets](https://twitter.com/hotspurtickets?lang=en) which has worked for some /r/coys redditors in the past.
147.  
148. Note: It will still be very hard to get tickets for high profile games, for example vs. Arsenal, ***even with membership***
149.  
150. ##How do I get to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?##
151. There is an overground station called "White Hart Lane" which is on a line connected to the main London train station "London Liverpool St." which is on the underground. You should easily be able to get to White Hart Lane if you can get to Liverpool St. as trains are frequent. Oyster Cards work here.
152.  
153. Alternatively, you can get the Victoria Line underground train to Seven Sisters and walk, although be warned it is about a 20-minute walk down Tottenham High road to the ground.
154.  
155. Finally, if you want to catch a bus anywhere around White Hart Lane here is a local bus map.
156.  
157. The club has their own suggestions for public transport [here](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-stadium/local/). Also keep in mind that during this time of [Covid-19 protocols and safety measures](https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/the-stadium/), the way you've experienced enter grounds for matches in the past may be inconsistent with what's expected for current matchday events.
158.  
159. ##Good places to eat and drink
160. Unless you like paying a ton of money for mediocre food, don't buy food from the various burger stands that crop up around the time of a game. Utilise the multitude of local food businesses instead. It is down to personal preference, but there are many shops up and down Tottenham High Road which are more than nice.
