A Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links March 16, 2016

Good morning!

Now that we've answered the age old question of how many writers does it take to post a Hoddle when Vince is away, it's back to business.

Banter. It's all about the banter. Whether it's Dele Alli and Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Harry Kane, Dele Alli and the whole squad via FourFourTwo interviews. Not to be outdone, I look forward to Mauricio joining in on the fun and sending out Ryan Mason and Tom Carroll against Dortmund again.

What a laugh we'll be having then!

And now for the "news":
