On Saturday morning Tottenham plays Brighton and Hove Albion in a match that should be just another Premier League match for the North London club.  Unfortunately, due to recent circumstances, it means so very much more.

Tottenham have now been pretty much terrible for three matches in a row.  They have let down their supporters, their history and themselves in that time and things have actually managed to get worse.  With recent developments surrounding Tottenham’s new stadium being released regarding the fact that there has been both alcohol and drug abuse on the site, things have become absurd.

This season has lurched from one mess to the next following a summer that perhaps we all should have seen as setting the table for this miserable meal.

Tottenham owes everyone around the club a good performance against Brighton this Saturday.  This slump is the sort that ends title hopes and is the sort of thing people used to hold against the old Spurs.  This current team should be better than this or they risk proving those diatribes and barbs true and that would be a true catastrophe.

There’s simply too much talent in this team for Spurs not to make this match into something special.  They shouldn’t just win it but they should banish the ghosts around them with a 3-0 win.  It’s unfortunate that a simple league match should mean so much but with the number of things going on around the club at the moment a good 90 minutes of football would mean so much more than can be calculated.

For the supporters, for the club and for the badge Tottenham must perform on Saturday. If not because 3 points will keep their title challenge alive then for the fact that for the first time in a long time the football is about so much more now.  The embarrassments that people around the club have likely had to endure in offices, pubs and at home among friends must be sorted out.  Tottenham are a proud club with proud supporters and this is quickly coming to a head.

It must get sorted, sharpish because this is purely and wholly unacceptable.
