Tuesday Morning Hoddle Of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur News And Links For August 9, 2011

Good Tuesday morning friends.  If you live in London it is apparently free TV Tuesday if the last few days have been any indication. So do yourself a favor and stay the hell inside. You can go out for tacos tomorrow. And yes I am the kind of guy who would consider braving a riot for tacos. Not an English riot though, just an average American one.

Editor's note: Ruiz is a striker, what are you on about?
