Friday Morning Hoddle Of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur News And Links For March 8, 2012

Happy Friday, Spursland! I am happy to say that I bring you breaking news: Rumors are swirling around the Baltimore DC Metro Area that Spurs May be coming to M&T Bank Stadium this summer for a friendly against Liverpool (Editor's note: Yes, we posted about this last month. They are also going to LA and New York, but reading is hard for Mr. Roosevelts). If this comes to pass I look forward to seeing some of you there.

And now the other "news"

And while Gareth, my boy, you aren't always guilty of going down super softly, when you do go down there is a rather large amount of thrashing about and generally acting as if someone nailed you with a scattergun.

MLS Fans Step Their Game Up, Show They Care About Champions League- SB Nation Soccer

This is great to see. Having been to several CONCACAF Champions League games that have had an attendance of maybe two or three thousand apiece, it is nice to see a change and the only real change is the attitude among the supporters that it isn't a meaningless fixture.

The Carracher Cunundrum- Anfield Asylum

This is a must read. It deals very directly with the problem of phasing out long help mainstays in the lineup when they feel they can still play. Hey, what's up, Chelsea!
