The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Friday, December 6

Hello, all!

There’s an image out from Taika Waititi’s football movie, Next Goal Wins:

Ramble of the Day

Let’s end the week with a quick question: If you’re on your computer (and heck, even if you’re on your phone web browser), how many tabs do you have open right now? (This includes all windows open.)

I have seven tabs open right now, in two windows. Three are tabs I always have open: my email, Twitter, and Slack. The fourth is an article from The New Yorker that I opened up a few days ago and left as a reminder to actually read it, but haven’t started yet. (Maybe today’s the day!) The fifth is the tab I’m using as I type out another Hoddle. The sixth is my Google doc with all my Hoddle notes.

The seventh is in another window, an incognito window I use for basically my entire Google search history. Currently, the only window in my incognito window is on Wikipedia; I was looking up how to stylize The New Yorker.

This is uncommon, but on my phone, I currently have no tabs open. I usually save articles to read on the train or in a doctor’s office, but I’m fresh out.

tl;dr: How many tabs do you have open on your browser right now? (I have seven in two windows.)
