If you are a Tottenham Hotspur fan do not say it, do not whisper it, do not write it on a piece of paper, fold it up and hide it at the back of a cupboard. Do not discuss it with friends and family at awkward social gatherings, or nodding acquaintances at bus stops. Do not be tempted into mentioning it to a cabbie while making small talk. Do not scrawl it on your hand in biro when bored at work.
If someone who supports another team wants to bring “it” up then change the subject quicker than someone who owes you money does. Don’t even dream about “it”. The “it” that I am talking about is the prospect of Spurs winning the league.
