Hello!!⭐️ If it's not too much trouble, could you please rec some iconic Spurs games for a newbie to watch? Maybe Poch era or whatever comes to your mind first! If your cool Spursy friends want to rec some as well, I'd love that. Thank you💞 have a good week🙏
OMG yes i'd be more than happy to tell you any games my little goldfish brain can remember!!! firs things first though welcome to spurs!!!!!!! also if anyone else thinks of others hopefully they'll add them cause like my memory's awful
I'll go poch era onwards.
iconic but before 16/17 would be the spurs 2 v arsenal 1 game in 2015, the 5-3 against Chelsea at home but also the battle of the bridge 2-2 which everyone should watch just cause it WILL come up when talking about spurs and it's such a perfect encapsulation of Tottenham being Tottenham and also if i ever see mark clattenburg on the street it's over for that prick.
16/17
idk how many upon reflection are super iconic? even if the season as a whole was but i will say any game where we won by a lot of goals is worth watching just because we were so fun to watch at that time and we did it quite a bit. our home game against Chelsea was the dele show and it was soooooooo good idk how well it holds up on rewatch but like that was the Moment
17/18
again i think there's a couple where we won by a shit ton of goals esp at the end of the season so i'd give them a watch if you have time. we were actually so good in the ucl this season we were so unlucky against juve but i'd deffo recommend the dortmund games and THE real Madrid game at home like lives were changed, history was written, depression cured. the 4-1 thrashing of Liverpool which of course i missed but harry kane sent lovren to the retirement and oh my god i think we also had THE 2-2 game against liverpool this season too which is iconic if not because we were good then just because of the beef that it created. wouldn't watch the whole game but the 2-0 win against united where eriksen scored the opener in 11 seconds. THE WIN AT STAMFORD BRIDGE LITERALLY ICONIC oh my god i have been chasing the high of that game every single day of my life since it happened. the 5-4 against Leicester isn't iconic iconic but it lives in my head rent free for being the most chaotic thing I've ever seen as the scoreline suggests. wait okay like this will not be iconic to you but the 6-1 against rochdale (which was during our Embarrassing era of constantly needing replays) where kwp got his goal in the snow? top of the charts in my household!!!
actually this season had so many good games damn maybe we need to talk about this season more too
18/19
the whole ucl campaign literally the definition of iconic i want to run back into her arms all the time even if the wheels were falling off this club already you could forget it when you were knocking city out of the UCL. idk if the group games are as good now cause we know we got to the final but at the time that shit was literally do or die like we could have gone out on my birthday it was awful. but idk i always like to watch the highlights on youtube from the first group game to the ajax game just for the whole experience again. but obvs the first leg against dortmund, second leg against city, second leg against ajax are some of the most iconic games in spurs history
us beating united 3-0 at old trafford was a good game and "moura is practically like a new signing" was a fun 5 minutes until moura logged into twitter. us beating chelsea at home always good and great and amazing. dele, kane and son scoring we literally used to be such a Club. us knocking arsenal out of the carabao was very funny and iconic of us but i also might just be remembering danny's interview afterwards where he humbled them
19/20
i think our win against city was the only iconic thing we had that whole season. there was iconic in other ways (like losing to colchester) but i would only wish my worst enemy to watch that.
20/21
again iconic games but mostly in a bad way like us v everton in the fa cup. we did smash united 1-6 at old trafford though which was very iconic and cool of us
idk if you need any games after this so i wont cause this is already pretty long but i hope there's at least one good game in here you enjoy watching

[Scene: The campus radio station of Himbo University. The room is buzzing with excitement. The station's soundboard lights up, and the host, Chuck, is seated across from Rudy Buckingham, the star football player who just led the Himbo University Himbos to a victory in the 2001 Collegiate Himbo League Championship. Chuck leans forward to speak into the microphone.]
Chuck: Good afternoon, Himbo University! This is Chuck on WHIM 97.3, your campus radio station. Today, we've got a special guest—Rudy Buckingham, the man of the hour! Rudy just led our football team to victory in the 2001 Collegiate Himbo League Championship! How's it going, Rudy?
Rudy: Uh, hey, Chuck! It's, uh, goin' real good. We did the football, and now we got the shiny, uh, trophy thingy!
Chuck: That’s right, Rudy! You guys really crushed it out there. Tell us, what was going through your mind in those last moments of the game? The score was tied, and you pulled off that incredible play.
Rudy: Oh, uh, yeah... So, like, Coach was like, "Rudy, go do the thing," and I was like, "Okay." And then I, like, ran real fast, you know, with the, um, ball. I think I, uh, did a touchdown? Yeah, that's what it called!
Chuck: You sure did, Rudy! A 90-yard run to the end zone—absolutely phenomenal! Now, Rudy, a lot of folks are curious about what it takes to play in the Collegiate Himbo League. Can you share some of the challenges you and your teammates faced this season?
Rudy: Oh, yeah, challenges! Uh, so like, the games were, um, hard? And, uh, we had to, like, do lots of runnin' and hittin'. Sometimes, uh, my brain hurts from thinkin' about the plays, but Coach says, "No think, just muscle!" So I just use, uh, my big muscles, and we win!
Chuck: That's certainly one way to look at it, Rudy! And speaking of muscles, you’re known for your incredible strength. How do you keep in shape? What’s your workout routine like?
Rudy: Oh, yeah, my, uh, routine! So, like, every day I lift the big heavy things. First, I lift them up, and then, uh, I put them down. Then I do that, um, a lot of times. And, uh, I eat lots of, like, chicken and, um, the green stuff... I think it's, like, trees or something?
Chuck: (Laughs) Trees, huh? You mean vegetables, Rudy?
Rudy: Oh, yeah! Vegetables! Those are, like, the green things that ain't candy, right?
Chuck: (Chuckles) That's right, Rudy. Now, some people might not know this, but Himbo University competes in a unique league. The Collegiate Himbo League isn't like the NCAA; it's a bit more laid-back, focused on spirit and fun as much as skill. How does it feel to be part of something so special?
Rudy: Uh, it feels real good, Chuck. Like, um, we get to play the game, and, uh, have fun with all the friends. And, like, sometimes there's, um, parties after, and I like parties ‘cause, uh, they have pizza. And, um, balloons? Yeah, balloons are fun too!
Chuck: (Smiling) Sounds like you’ve got your priorities straight, Rudy. Now that you’ve brought the trophy home for Himbo University, what’s next for you? Any big plans?
Rudy: Oh, uh, big plans! I think, like, I wanna, uh, keep doin’ the football. Maybe I’ll, uh, go to, like, the big leagues? Or, uh, maybe just get, like, a really big sandwich... I dunno. Coach says I gotta think about, uh, my future, but I just like liftin’ and runnin’, you know?
Chuck: Well, Rudy, whatever you decide to do, I’m sure you’ll bring that same energy and enthusiasm. Thanks for coming by the station today. Any last words for your fans out there?
Rudy: Uh, yeah! Thanks, everyone, for, like, cheering and stuff. And, uh, remember to eat your vegetables, 'cause they make you, like, strong... like, um, trees!
Chuck: (Laughs) You heard it here first, folks! Eat your veggies and stay strong. Thanks again, Rudy, and congratulations on the big win! This has been Chuck on WHIM 97.3, signing off!
[End Scene: The theme music fades out as Chuck and Rudy share a laugh off-mic, the energy in the room electric from the win and Rudy’s unforgettable interview.]
