A Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links April 14, 2016

Good morning!

I'm the follow up to Skipjack's "How to Explain Dele Alli and Eric Dier to Your Children". Great. Faced with the lamentable task of going on after his hot set, I have two options 1) raise my level 2) pack up my things, like a baby, and quit.

And now for the "news":

As a Foxes supporter, he was deemed too controversial an appointment for this match. I, for one, think this is a little much. It's the referees in the Leicester matches that let them defend with their hands, and hex the ball that are clearly the issue.

Apparently, he is also on West Ham's radar, too. So weird!! That's no less than three or four players that we are scrapping with them over. Like, that almost seems completely improbable. Made up even, if we didn't know that the press would never break our trust in that way.
