Not a happy new year
Tottenham Hotspur do not do things in a straight-forward manner so this January 1 always had a high chance of ushering in an unhappy new year in N17.
The opening day of 2023 brought a flat, miserable hungover home defeat, a bench with not a single attacker on it, chants for the chairman to "get out of our club" and Antonio Conte throwing out lengthy slightly hypocritical statements while making sure everyone knew that he had informed Spurs last summer they were going to be rubbish this season.
