A Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links March 8, 2016

Happy Tuesday, Spursland!

I assume many of you out there are on Twitter and go through the gauntlet every Monday night/Tuesday morning called "Wrestling Twitter", and no, all those people tweeting about "Vince" are not talking about me. There was just so much Wrestling Twitter in my timeline tonight that I couldn't think of anything else to write about, and instead of trying to beat them, I'm joining them.

Let's hear the best analogies of players and personalities on our current squad to WWE performers. Trust me, I would kick this off, but I haven't regularly watched WWE since the early aughts and really only pay attention to the Rumble.

Anyway, have fun, and if you don't know anything about wrestling, I guess there's always football to discuss.

And now for the "news":

Now it's the Big Five? Seriously, I don't think any of those clubs became complacent.

This Dembele fetishism is getting a bit out of control, isn't it?
