The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Thursday, March 12

Hi, Hoddlers!

Another reminder that I’ve put out a new collaborative playlist called Sonny Days to give us something to cheer us up. If you need a refresher on what moods we’re going for, here you go.

Ramble of the Day

Let’s continue with the musical themes for the Hoddle, and allow me to pose a question: What song do you sing while you’re washing your hands?

I’ve picked the beginning of “A Little Bit Alexis” from Schitt’s Creek. (YouTube; Spotify)

I actually have been singing it since I saw this Saturday morning, and it means the song is stuck in my head all the time. Thankfully, I don’t mind at all.

tl;dr: What’s your washing hands song?
