HITC speaks to Tottenham Hotspur fan Ben Porter, who’s been a supporter for 28 years.
General view of White Hart Lane
Q: What have you made of your team’s start to the season?
A: Haven’t got any complaints other than that we’re not top. We’ve been excellent again this season and if it weren’t for how well Chelsea have been I think we’d be the number one title contender.
Q: What are your opinions on your manager?
A: Possibly the best manager in the league when you look at how he’s transformed us and what he did with Southampton. Would be surprised if he doesn’t attract interest from Barcelona or someone of that ilk in the future.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
Q: What are your views on the board?
A: Always liked Daniel Levy. Get’s decent fees for players and brings in big signings. What more do you want? For every Sissoko there’s a Bale or Modric.
Q: Who is your favourite current player?
A: Harry Kane.
Q: Who is your favourite ever player?
A: Ledley King. Proper Captain.
Ledley King
Q: What has been your best memory of the club?
A: League Cup win in 2008 as I was there!
Q: What has been your most disappointing moment?
A: Falling behind Arsenal last season. A real kick in the teeth.
Q: What has been your most shocking moment?
A: When it looked like we were going to be relegated under Juande Ramos. Thankfully Harry Redknapp came in and saved us!
Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp
Q: Describe the best goal you ever saw at your club’s home ground
A: Any one of Luka Modric’s belters!
Q: Which ground is your favourite away day?
A: Stamford Bridge. Better atmosphere than the Emirates!
Q: Who do you consider to be the club’s biggest rival and why?
A: Arsenal – no question!
Q: Who do you feel has been the club’s best and worst summer signing?
A: Best has been Wanyama, worst Vincent Janssen. Just can’t cut it in this league, for me.
Tottenham’s Vincent Janssen
Q: Who is your one player to watch out for this season?
A: Dele Alli. Seems obvious but he’s stepped up to another level this season.
Q: Is there a particular youth player that excites you, and why?
A: Harry Winks. Really exciting young player. Rather see him get game time than £30 million man Sissoko!

Q: Where do you think the club will look to strengthen in the summer?
A: New striker for me. We need a better back up to Harry Kane!
Q: Finally, what are your aims for this season, and where do you think your club will finish?
A: Push for the title. Why not!
