The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur News and Links for Monday, November 9
· Yahoo Sports
Good morning everyone –
Visit h-doctor.club for more information.
We start the day at the beginning of a new international break. Thank goodness, because the last one was only a month ago.
During the span between that supersized break and this one, Tottenham Hotspur played a whopping five football matches. It’s outrageous, and I wholeheartedly throw my support behind the sport’s organisers to break up this jam-packed club schedule with international football. Because this is what we want. International football.
We need more.
We demand more.
We had so much at one point during the World Cup. Then, of course, it had to end and club football (blegh!) had to start up again. Who wants to watch all this club football?
I think for all of us when I say I’d much rather watch a friendly between Suriname and Lithuania than Premier League football. And we’re in luck, too, because that match kicks off on Thursday. I might just take the whole day off for the pre-match festivities, the match itself, and then the post-match festivities.
So now we have a whole two weeks without club football where Tottenham Hotspur don’t play again until 21 November against Ipswich Town. Get ready for the tennis posts.
