The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for ...

good morning !

Finally, finally - Tottenham Hotspur football is BACK!

After an eternity away, Spurs will be playing meaningful matches again this month. We’ve had plenty of friendlies, and still have two more to go, but the Premier League again will soon kick off.

First, though, two matches against Bayern Munich.

And then Harry Winks reunites with the Tottenham boys for the first day of the season. I can’t think of anything better than watching Winks and Spurs again. The question is, should I wear my Winks kit? (Probably not)

After that it’s the home opener versus Everton. Ahh, Saturday football. We’ve missed you so.

And who knows, maybe there’s still some transfer activity to be had. After all, the transfer window does close on 30 August so we know there has to be some outgoings (and incomings?).

Whatever it is, it sure is exciting to watch the football again.

Tottenham Hotspur men’s schedule: Bayern (3 August, friendly), Bayern (10 August, friendly), at Leicester City (19 August), Everton (24 August)
