A Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links October 29, 2015

Happy Thursday, Spursland! We are in a weird week here where there is no Europa League and we don't play until Monday. I don't like it. I really like playing midweek and while I love the idea of Monday night football, I like it when it's another club playing.

Without games we are left with half-a**** rumors and, god forbid, think pieces. I also heard our stats man, Caley, wrote an article about how Arsenal are good so I really need Monday to get here before I start self harming.

And now for the "news":

Andros Townsend could go on loan to Swansea| Sports Mole

I like Andros as a sub and have for two years. He is direct and has the type of game which doesn't rely on feel or warming up. That being said, if he doesn't realize who he is in our pecking order, let him go. No hard feelings.
