It was all too good to last. After much soul searching we have decided to up sticks and move to Shanghai. This has been a very, very difficult decision for many reasons mostly based around the fact that Spurs in Hong Kong has been such a huge success but I have to progress my career and in Hong Kong (for whatever reason) this is not happening. I would stay in the big Lychee forever - the life, the people, the environment (pollution aside) is now very familiar to me and it is my home. All is perfect if only I didn’t have to work but, alas, I have to and the companies I have encountered here are not able to offer me the things I need right now.

Spurs in Hong Kong will be watching the game UPSTAIRS at Delaneys (HK) this Saturday with the kick-off at 11:00pm.
If you are a Spurs supporter in Hong Kong then come and watch the game with us - we won’t ignore you we promise. Anyone is welcome (as long as you are Spurs of course) and it promises to be a packed house so don’t be shy. Spurs in Hong Kong is an open house and everybody is welcome. We look forward to seeing all the usual suspects as well as some new faces. See you there…
I think we can safely say that the honeymoon is well and truly over. King Ramos is no longer an incongruous, swarthy figure sitting in seat where our lovable Dutch mate used to sit. It’s no longer a momentary jolt to see Ramos, Gus and the other one egging on the team from the sidelines and it has to be admitted that there have been very encouraging signs in terms of performances. Wham away we would have lost under Jol but Ramos had us fighting back those mockney dogs and we should have gone on and won the game if Defoe knew how to take a penalty. The following game, Aalborg at home, Ramos displayed his tactical nouce and dragged Spurs kicking and screaming to a victory when all seemed lost at half time. Skipping past the Birmingham result (sunk by another wonder goal) we trashed a previously undefeated at Eastlands Man Citeh and then pulled of a stunning result and performance against Portsmouth away. It’s only now things have tailed off but we were always going to lose to the vermin (or any other ‘top four’ team) and anyway, we had the destruction of Fulham to ease the pain.

It’s almost that time of year again so in true Spurs style we are going all out for style rather than substance for our SIHK Christmas party. We have hired a tram and we will be singing and drinking our way around Hong Kong for two hours before watching the Portsmouth game in Delaney’s. For many of us it will be our last weekend in dear old Honkers before we head off for Christmas so it’s going to be an all out Spurs spectacular. You’d be fool or a gooner to miss out. Places are limited so please let us know if you’d like to be included via our forum where the rest of the details can also be found.
