Happy Birthday Us!

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday dear The Shelf,
Happy birthday to you!

Yes, we are one year old today and have recieved over 300,000 individual hits in that time. Thanks everyone for visiting and posting your comments week in, week out.

When The Shelf started we were about to play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. That day we gained a credible 0-0 draw under Santini and his defensive master plan. Little did we know that within weeks the bog eyed French man would be crying into his crossiant on the way back to France, Martin Jol would be the the boss and Frank Arnesen would have stabbed us all in the back and joined Chelsea!

As usual, it's never dull at Spurs even if the football is crap!

So a lot has changed and probably for the better. Jol is better than Santini and we got to him in a round about way. Nevertheless he is our man now and the squad has contineud to grow in size. Quality players have been purchased with quality young players ready to improve and challenge. There is no doubt that we are looking at a better, smarter Tottenham Hotspur Football Club than this time last year. I hope, when The Shelf is two, I can say we have continued our improvement and are playing European football.

COYS!
