Plumber asks who I support. Tells me he’s for the other lot. I brace myself. He says “I’ve never been someone to kick a man when he’s not getting up.” Mercy from tradesmen. This is Vinai’s Tottenham.

For today's Saturday Track, we’re discussing the meticulously composed "Stickerbush Symphony" from Donkey Kong Country 2, immortalized as the soundtrack to the internet’s collective memory

Read Billie Bugara’s review of the track.

I’m not an elite sportsperson or business genius but I really think both the club and the players would have benefited from confronting impending crises a tiny bit sooner this season. Something for them to reflect on on the coach up to Lincoln in November.

Loudest applause of the game from the home support is for Brennan Johnson, a player we sold to a team that is currently beating us, without even attempting to sign a replacement, and then tried to erase him from our history, before losing pretty much every game since. Amazing.

Deifying Micky van de Ven is proving to be one of the more collectively embarrassing things we’ve done as a fanbase in the modern era.

We’d very likely still have lost it anyway but I’m watching the highlights and it’s just utterly mind-boggling that we see a goal like Kolo Muani’s second disallowed. It really feels like the officiating in this country is designed to turn everyone away from football for good.

Final episode of The Crown will just be Charles switching off the lights in Buckingham Palace, then smiling ruefully, before saying "Well, I guess this is where we hang up the crown", and we cut to black as it slowly swings on the hat stand.

Would quite like us to give the captaincy to someone who represents Spurs properly next season. Think I know a guy.
Making Harley's dream come true 🤍 @Madders10 recently invited young fan Harley, who suffers with a rare genetic condition impacting his spine, to a @PremierLeague match, surprising him at half-time for a cup of tea and custard cream ☕

Find it hard to get accept that there will be people out there who’ve had 30 years to discover how hard Tim Curry goes in this film and still haven’t done so.
Muppet Treasure Island was released 30 years ago. It’s the only Muppet film where the main human villain sings multiple musical numbers. Tim Curry performed them himself & his presence was so strong the film built entire sequences around Long John Silver. https://t.co/jFw3EhaBIg

A snowboarding Olympic gold medal for a country in which it properly snows nationwide about once every 12 years is kind of wild to me. Some real slacking going on.

Dropping a near E3 golden era-quality showcase in February while your longstanding rival eagerly gift wraps its biggest games for you to have is nasty business from Sony.

my son is watching his first winter olympics. he just said “daddy, why don’t both teams just ask AI to build the optimal training strategy, and vibe code an app to track KPIs?” he's 37 and i am so sick of him
