Fortress White Hart Lane

Good evening lads, hope youre all well.

A fantastic win again against an inform Everton side. 3-2 usually represents a tight evenly matched game but in reality we were a class apart and the scoreline flattered the Toffees.

Anyway onto the main point of the article. Ive supported Spurs since the late eighties and we have had decent form at Home but never as good as this.

14 played at home in the premier league with 12 wins and 2 draws and of course 9 wins in a row which is a premier league record for us.
That is title winning form and its just a shame we have been pretty poor on the road otherwise Chelsea wouldn't be sitting pretty on top of the league.

Our new stadium is going to be world class and will hopefully give us another platform to join the elite, but its just bloomin typical that in our last season at the Lane we are just imperious. Still it would be fitting to leave our old beautiful home on such a high note.

Without wanting to sound like I'm peeing on your bonfire....

We were unbeaten at home for well over a year. Then lost three in a week. It's nice, but don't waste your time building it up into something it's not.

We're talking in relation to the final season at WHL, not the ongoing history of the club. Thought that was pretty obvious

Anyone know what our all time record of consecutive home league wins is?

I'm not sure exactly what about my post you all disagree with so much?

At the turn of the year, it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility that Liverpool could go unbeaten at home. Then, within 6 days, we'd lost 3 on the bounce. Point is, all this "Fortress Whatever" stuff is nonsense. So enjoy it while it lasts was my point.

Most of us are talking in reference to our last season at WHL whereas you're talking about Anfield in general. You'll still be at Anfield next season whereas we won't be at WHL will we?

Signing off our last season at the stadium unbeaten. Does that register with you yet? Or should I simplify it some more?

I would say 12 wins and 2 draws from 14 games is enough to describe WHL as a fortress this season

Of course we are aware that we could lose this record, what we are stating is that for some considerable time White Hart Lane has become a fortress for us and that is True. We have only dropped 4 points at the lane this season, scored a bucket load of goals and conceded just 7.

Of course we know things can go wrong we are just stating that we are proud of our home record which is outstanding atm.

Now bore off onto your own board.

Looks like we have the bad football out of the way at the right time and the right football is being played at the right time. I can't see us being beaten just yet.

As a caveat to the good home form v the bad away form....

We have spoken man times about having got all of our hard away games out of the way. This is going to skew the away record, and it SHOULD improve as we only play bottom half team now.

On the flip, it boosts the home form somewhat. Although after yesterday, we only have two hard home games so still quality
