Wednesday Morning Hoddle Of Coffee:Tottenham Hotspur News And Links October 26, 2011

Happy Hump day Spursland! Hump day, the grossest name for the worst day of the week. Worse, we have no weekday game this week. What I am trying to say is that if Wednesday were a person I would throw a shoe at them.

And now the "news"

Gerrard Backs Harry For England-Sky Sports

Should Dan Levy just start interviewing candidates for Harry's job now? It seems inevitable that he will be gone very soon to the great black hole that is the England manager job. I think it wouldn't be the dumbest thing in the world, a nice long scout for the perfect person to step into the role rather than a rushed half-assed job looking for anyone available at the last minute.

A great read from Andi Thomas who definitely wins the SB Nation Writers "Most Ridiculous Profile Picture" contest. Is that a fake mustache?

Chelsea Unveil Three Possible Stadium Locations-We Ain't Got No History

I'd like to thank Chelsea for demonstrating to Spurs how to handle a stadium move without looking like a bunch of blithering whinny children. Don't get me wrong, I see the strategy behind what Dan Levy did, hedging his bets on the Olympic Stadium deal and drawing more public money for the Northumberland Development Project, but to the casual observer the team looks like petty fools compared the organized march of Chelsea towards a bigger ground.
