Today we remember Stephen Lawrence, murdered in a racist assault on this day in 1993 whilst waiting for a bus.

We recognise his loved ones' long struggle for justice and the legacy of change they have inspired. Rest in peace.

Yes yes yes. I know we’ve had a number of false dawns this year but we are going in the right direction.

Hopium is back on the menu.

This was such a great episode. Calm, considered, funny, and somehow really inspiring too.

Absolutely loved it. Exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thanks guys.

Along with our performance it’s got me excited about Spurs games. Which is not a sentence I thought I’d be saying a few weeks ago.

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.

Sampdoria are currently fighting for their survival in Serie B.

The club and supporters have been through hell the last few years.

This was the fans last night, as Sampdoria fell to a 3-0 defeat to Monza.

These fans refuse to let their club die.

‘Researched’

Used google.

I just researched it. Makes a great club motto:

Insomnium Vivum

4 days ago 2 0 1 0

Found the Latin for it! Couldn’t be more apt.

Never mind Audere est facere it’s one of:

Pavor vigilans (watching terror)

Or

Insomnium vivum (living nightmare)

Now that’s a Spurs club motto.

Spurs is an anxiety dream in real life.

You’re driving towards a car crash in slow motion.

You can see it ahead. You want to take a left turn to avoid it, but you keep missing the turn.

Today is one of very few ‘left turns’ left to realistically avoid the crash.

New club motto incoming…

It’s like driving into a car crash in slow motion.

You can see it happening ahead. You keep wanting to take a left turn to avoid it, but you just keep missing the turn.

You’re right. We have one or two (max) chances to realistically avoid the crash.

Spurs is an anxiety dream in real life.

Many things to say about this. Not least just how badly he butchers the lines.

Samuel showed him exactly how is should be done!

Sadly this is where I am. Hopium reserves running at an all time low. So many games, so much hope, so many “maybe *this* game we’ll turn it round”.

In life I’m an optimist, but our pattern seems unbreakable right now.

Hope I’m wrong.

The ‘kids’ are really excited by the DLR stickers that make it feel like they’re driving the train.

Ok. They’re not, but I am.

Love the DLR.
