The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur News and Links for Monday, September 21

Good morning everyone –

All of us here woke up to a supersized international break. Three weeks of no club football!

And good thing, too, because we haven’t had enough international football this year. Certainly not a month-long competition that only ended two months ago. Oh, you think 104 matches played over the course of five weeks isn’t enough international football for you?

Well you’re in luck, because we’ve got a brand new three-week international break going on right now.

I think we can all agree that five club football matches is enough, and that any more would just be unnecessary. So it’s a good thing we take a three-week pause in the 38-week campaign to return to our true love: international football.

Okay, so you’re one of those “I must watch club football folks,” eh? Well have I got news for you. Leagues One and Two are still here and still thriving. So if you need to watch that Plymouth Argyle-Burton Albion game this weekend (or maybe even Shrewsbury-Colchester), then you’re in luck.

But don’t let that distract you from the international football, making its glorious return after a two-month absence. How lucky are we?
