Amsterdam Spurs

Tomorrow, we go to Tyneside, which hasn’t been a happy hunting ground in recent times. Can we shake off the cobwebs of past performances and go into the international break with another win? The odds seem to be stacked up against us, but we’ve actually only lost two of our last 11 visits to St James’ (W6, D3). It raises hope but we’ll have to be better.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam Sunday afternoon; join us from 14:00 local time in the back at “Café Parck”!! See you there 🙂

Remember if you’ve ordered any of our new merch this is your chance to come and pick it up 🕺

kick off 14:30 CEST

This Saturday is our first home game against Everton - one of the eight teams who lost their opener. One stand-out stat from this fixture is that we’ve scored more Premier League goals against Everton (63 at home and 102 overall) than we have against any other opponent. So let’s not try to walk it into the net, let’s focus on the outcome and get those three points!

For anyone in or around Amsterdam we’re back in “Café Parck” to watch the game from 15:30 local time 🙂 Do join us for a few drinks 🍻

kick off 16:00 CEST

The Premier League is back underway!! Our first match of the season will be away against newly promoted Championship winners, Leicester City. If recent history is anything to go by, there should be goals in this game. The past five meetings between the two sides have seen 28 goals scored (5.6 per game)! Also a chance for Madders to find the form he showed at the start of last season against his former club.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam on Monday and looking for a place to watch our season kick off; we’ll be back in ‘Café Parck’ from 20:30 local time - you’ll be able to find us in the back! 🙂

kick off 21:00 CEST

Introducing: Our 24/25 committee members!

Simon - Chairperson
“Born a Spurs fan in north London, grew up watching Perryman, Hoddle, Ardiles, et al. 🤍🥲 Moved to Amsterdam in the 90s and absolutely love being part of AMS Spurs, who are just as crazy about Tottenham as I am. Favourite moments, the 1981 FA Cup final replay, and that famous night in Amsterdam, of course! 🤍🙌🏼”

Jason - Treasurer
“I’ve been a Spurs fan since the late 90’s and have been dedicated to my Lily Whites since then! I have always found a way to balance the love the travel, work, and life to ensure that I get to London or where we have to go to see our club! I hope to see you in Amsterdam or London soon”

Leeloo - Social Media Manager
“Grew up in the ‘dam and fell in love with Sonny and ultimately Spurs during a short move to South Korea 🌻 Joined AMS Spurs in 2019 and had a great time celebrating our CL semi-final against Ajax that year! 🕺 Now I’m loving Big Ange instead~”

Stewart - General Member
“Grew up in 1980s Essex on Hoddle, Waddle, Ardiles, Allen’s 49 goal season, Coventry FA Cup: Mabbut OG 😮‍💨. Then London, Bristol, Sheffield, Amsterdam since 2009, AMS Spurs 2015. Moments: UCL Semi-final v Ajax, last match v Liverpool (stadium atmosphere was 🔥🔥🔥) COYS! COYAS!”

Remy - General Member
“Spurs fan since early 90’s, intrigued by the passion of Gazza, the flair of Lineker and the attacking style of football. I know, we’re all nuts to be fan of this club, even better to be part of this amazing fanclub where we all can be whoever we like!”

The scheduling gods at UEFA have blessed us with a unique combination of opening matches for Euro 2024. And it’s Father’s day. What better way to celebrate than a big Amsterdam Spurs BBQ on the Staringplein, which is 50 metres from our new home Café Parck (and will shelter if the Dutch Summer Weather (TM) does its worst).

Schedule
15:00 Poland vs. Netherlands (Watch @ Parck, Overtoom 428)
17:00 BBQ @ Staringplein
21:00 Serbia vs. England (Watch @ Parck)

Come and join us; for some or all of the day!

And we complete another wonderful season with these bunch at our new home!! Thank you to all our members and visitors who’ve come to watch the matches with us this season - let’s make it an even better one next year 🤍💙

Today is the last game of the season and we are facing an already relegated Sheffield United away! The maths are simple - we avoid defeat and we finish 5th. But we really should be winning this game. The Blades have only three wins all season, and are on a six-game losing run. This wonderful Sunday, we should be celebrating a decent season, with some really good football and hopefully a turning point in our history.

So, if you’re in or around Amsterdam do join our celebration of a decent first season under Ange in ‘Café Parck’!! If you’re just visiting join us from 16:15 for maybe a short Spursy sing-a-long; and if you’re a paid-up member the AGM starts at 16:00 local time 🙂

kick off 17:00 CEST

This evening we’re facing Man City at home!! Not sure how you feel about tonight? Well, obviously, we don’t want Woolwich to win anything. But, as Ange has said he “will never understand if somebody wants their team to lose”. We want to stop their title charge, but we had the chance to do that a few weeks ago but didn’t turn up until 15 minutes before the final whistle.

To believe that we will have had a say in this race is flattering to deceive. Whatever happens tonight, whatever will be will be.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam this sunny Tuesday, we’ll be in “Café Parck” to watch the game! We’ve reserved the room in the back from 20:30 local time. 🍻

There will be an open mic from 20:00, so if you’re interested in listening to what our local music scene has to offer before the match, come in early and enjoy the vibes! 😎

kick off 21:00 CEST

Tomorrow afternoon our Spurs ladies are in the FA Cup final against Man United!! We’ll be back in “Café Parck” to watch the game from 15:00 local time.. If you’re in or around Amsterdam and looking to join us, please let us know in the comments!!

kick off 15:30 CEST

This afternoon we’re facing Burnley at home!! Burnley haven’t won at our place since 1974, but we haven’t kept a clean sheet in our last 13 home games, so it will certainly give the Clarets hope. They’ll need to score today and anything other than a win and they’re relegated.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam on this fine Saturday, we’ll be in our NEW HOME “Café Parck” from 15:30 local time to watch the game!

kick off 16:00 CEST

This evening we’re facing Liverpool away!! We have a shocking record at Anfield, winning just two of the last 30 games there (D9, L19). We could end up losing four Premier League games in a row for the first time since losing six in a row in October and November 2004 (three under Jacques Santini, three under Martin Jol).

If you’re looking for positives, we could do the double over Liverpool for the first time since 2010-2011, and Son has scored in each of his last four league appearances versus the Reds. There may be some players low in confidence and some with tired legs, but they have to put the past few games behind them and move on quickly.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam, we’ll be back in our NEW HOME “Café Parck” to watch the game! We’ve reserved the room in the back from 17:00 local time 🍻

kick off 17:30 CEST

This evening we are facing Chelsea away!! We have an absolutely abysmal record at Stamford Bridge, winning just one of the past 33 league games (a 3-1 in April 2018 when were managed by Poch). It should also be mentioned that the ref from last Sunday, Michael Oliver, was the same official who made all those dubious decisions in that infamous home battle against the Blues back in November. The wheels nearly came off after that game, what with injuries, suspensions and the Asian and African Cups. But Ange has dealt with it all remarkably well. Thursday could be the perfect time for a reset.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam, we’ll be back in our NEW HOME “Café Parck” to watch the game! We’ve reserved the room in the back from 20:00 local time 🙂

kick off 20:30 CEST

Tomorrow it’s North London Derby time - we are facing Arsenal at home! Can we derail their title push and strengthen our Champions League ambitions???

BE IN THAT NUMBER... if you’re in or around Amsterdam on Sunday, we’ll be back in our NEW HOME Café Parck to watch the game! We’ve reserved the room in the back from 14:00 so we can have a sing-a-long and get in the mood!

kick off 15:00 CEST

This Saturday we’ll have an early kick off at St James’ Park! We all know what happened there last season and our away form isn’t that great at the moment (we’ve only won two of the last nine, drawing four and losing three). Nevertheless, we’ve only failed to score once away all season (at Fulham), and we’ve scored at least once in our last 17 Premier League away games against Newcastle (our longest scoring streak away against an opponent in league history). This is also the last game before playing Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool in succession.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam on Saturday, we’ll be back in the Lion’s Head to watch the game! We’ve reserved some tables there from 13:00 on Saturday 😀

kick off 13:30 CEST

Tomorrow evening we’re facing Forest at home, who are battling for survival and who have recently been docked points for breaching FFP regulations. They’re also recently changed their manager to Nuno Espirito Santo: one of our many previous managers who will only be remembered for the dull, cautious football he got us playing. Expect them to park the bus and try and counter attack, which is becoming a bit of a theme. We’ll probably dominate possession, but will we find a way through? We’ll have to be sharper, we’ll have to find more energy. We need to take all three points.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam on Sunday, we’ll be back in our new favourite Café Parck from 18:45 local time to watch the game!

kick off 19:00 CEST

Tomorrow we’re facing West Ham away!! Who have thrown away two leads and five points to late goals in their last two games. But we all remember what happened at the Lane back in December and we need to put that right. Like us, they have problems keeping clean sheets (only one so far in the Premier League this year in a 0-0 draw against Brighton back at the beginning of January). A win would see us go 4th, with the pressure back on Villa, who play Man City away on Wednesday night.

It’d be great if you can join us in Amsterdam to watch this game, but please note we’ll be back in Café PARCK this week! We’ve reserved some tables there from 20:45 on Tuesday!! 🍻

kick off 21:15 CEST

This weekend we’re facing Luton at home!! It was during our 10-game unbeaten spell that we encountered Luton for the first time in the top flight in decades, beating them one nil after playing the second half with 10 men (Bissouma getting a second yellow on the stroke of half time). It’ll be a different game this time, not least because the Hatters have changed their style of play, trying to play more football instead of parking the bus. They’ve picked up some vital points playing this way, but it might suit us better, since Luton are shipping goals, conceding 13 in their last four away games!

If you’re thinking of joining us in Amsterdam to watch the next game, please note that we won’t be in our usual café/bar but will be continuing our tour through the city. On Saturday, we’ll be in St James’s Gate on Rembrandtplein. We’ll be there from 15:30!!

kick off 16:00 CET

This Saturday we’re facing Fulham away! Craven Cottage is not an easy place to go this season. Only the top five have won more home games than Fulham this season. But their current form is quite inconsistent and it’s been a happy hunting ground for us (we’ve won our last seven Premier League games there). And Son loves a London derby, scoring or assisting in all of the past six. We’ll be looking to build on last week’s performance, then, and keep piling the pressure on those around us.

If you’re in or around Amsterdam and would like to join us to watch the game, please note that we’re back at Café Parck this week from 17:00 local time 🙂

kick off 18:30 CET

Tomorrow we’re facing Aston Villa away! If Ange is going to bring back Champions League football to White Hart Lane, we must take advantage of Villa’s stuttering home form and the fact that they played Ajax in the Europa Conference League this week, while we’ve had another whole week back on the training ground. We haven’t had much joy against the Villains recently, so they’ll be confident. But maybe fresh legs will be key to Sunday’s game. If we can come out of the blocks quickly and bring some of the confidence and form that we seemed to find in the second half last week, we should be able to get within two points of fourth spot with a game in hand.

If you’re thinking of joining us in Amsterdam to watch this game, please note that we won’t be in our usual bar but will be continuing our tour through the city. We’ll be at “Café Parck” tomorrow from 13:30 local time 🙂 Hopefully, see you there! 🤍

kick off 14:00 CET

Great game and turnout last Saturday on our first tour stop! 🤍🙌

This Saturday we’re facing Crystal Palace at home!! Oliver Glasner, the new Palace manager, had a successful two-year spell at Salzburg, finishing as Austrian champions. After that, he won the Europa League in his first season at Eintracht Frankfurt and unlike some of his predecessors has started well in the Premier League. New manager bounce saw the Eagles get their first win (3-0) in six games, albeit against Burnley. They’ll likely feel confident going into this game though, considering our recent poor run of form. But will Glasner ask his players to park the bus and try to frustrate our all-out attack, as was the case against Wolves, or will they try to go toe-to-toe? We’ll be looking to play the way we did pre-November.

If you’re thinking of joining us in Amsterdam to watch the game, please note that we won’t be at our usual bar and that we’re on tour! We’ll be at the “Lion’s Head” tomorrow from 15:30 local time 🙂 Hopefully, see you there 🤍

kick off 16:00 CET

In less than an hour we’re facing Wolves at home! Our record against Wolves at home is indifferent. We’ve only won four out of the last nine games (L4, D1). Scoring goals doesn’t seem to be a problem, and one interesting stat that worth a mention here is that since losing 1-0 to Wolves in March 2023, we’ve scored in each of our last 36 Premier League matches. But it’s been a while since we kept a last clean sheet ourselves (5 January against Burnley). Big Ange has had a week to work with the squad on the training ground, and for the first time since early November has something of a selection headache. To beat a much-improved under Gary O’Neil Wolves side, team selection could be key.

We’ll be watching the game upstairs in our usual bar “Regular & Jack” from 15:30 local time! SoooOo if you’re in or around Amsterdam, why not join us?

kick off 16:00 CET

Tomorrow afternoon we’re facing Brighton at home!! We’ve won eight of our 13 Premier League meetings with the Seagulls (D1, L4), with only one defeat coming at the Lane by a single goal in March of 2022. Can Big Ange get his selection right on Saturday?

The Micky van de Ven fanclub will be watching the game upstairs in our usual bar “Regular & Jack” from 15:30 local time 🙂 Why not join us?

kick off 16:00 CET

This afternoon, we’re facing Everton away! A side side who are well and truly in a relegation scrap. They also fought hard at the Lane in late December, gave us a bit of a scare, but also left with nothing. Expect Goodison to be a cauldron for this one, but will it be an ultimate fight?

If you’re in or around Amsterdam this windy Saturday afternoon, why not join us upstairs at our usual bar “Regular & Jack” from 13:00 local time to watch the game?

kick off 13:30 CET

Tonight we’re facing Brentford at home! In or around Amsterdam? Come join us upstairs at our usual bar ‘Regular & Jack’ from 20:00 local time!

kick off 20:30

Tonight it’s time for a good old New Year’s Celebration or “Nieuwjaars Borrel” as we face the current FA cup holders Man City!

We’ll be meeting up from 19:30 (an hour and a half before kick off time) upstairs at our usual bar ‘Regular & Jack’ to enjoy the occasion, have a cheeky Spurs sing-a-long and of course some drinks!! 🍻 For those of you participating in Dry January there is 0,0 available too 😇

kick off 21:00 CET

In a little over an hour we’re facing Man United away! Our record at Old Trafford isn't great, losing 13 of the past 17 visits. But we've already beaten the Red Devils this season (2-0 at home in August) and will be looking to extend our goalscoring run to a record 33 games in a row.

Whether you’re participating in Dry January or not - you’re more than welcome to join us upstairs at our usual bar “Regular & Jack” from 17:00 local time to watch the game 🙂

kick off 17:30 CET

We’re facing Burnley at home in the 3rd round of the FA Cup tonight!! If you’re in or around Amsterdam come join us upstairs to watch the game and hopefully start the year of on a high at our usual bar “Regular & Jack” 20:30 local time 🙂

kick off 21:00 CET
