"Lads, it’s Tottenham," Sir Alex Ferguson famously said before a Manchester United game. United were facing Tottenham at Old Trafford and Ferguson intelligently used just those three words in the dressing room before the game to tap into the minds of his players.

That phrase has been used to mock Tottenham for their losing DNA and 'Spursy' tendencies ever since. Spurs don't have a winning culture and have been huge underachievers, but they now have something to be proud of, something that is the best in the country: their stadium.

Spurs' ground cost around £1billion and their fans were delighted with their new home, which is atmospheric and has leading facilities that create a brilliant matchday experience.

Furthermore, their stadium was the first purpose-built NFL venue outside of the US and Spurs have a deal to host a minimum of two games per year over 10 years, which is an extra revenue stream.
