    Solanke still a while away.

    RKM is available. I'm eager to see him in action.

    Bissouma out

    Not that he was likely to be in anyway

    This month is going to be a harsh measure of
    the Spurs attack. I expect the team to be found
    wanting accordingly (but hope I am pleasantly
    proven wrong) .

    Me too....the report from the bcd game the other night was positive enough.

    I thought I'd read somewhere that Solanke was nearly back? Thought it unlikely after having had surgery, and I hope they don't rush him back.

    Frank confirmed that he is back on the grass, but currently training on his own. Based on that, I'd estimate we'll be lucky to see him play a full 90 before December.

    Anyone know when or why the BBC stopped referring to us by our full name?

    pretty sure i remember reading that the club issued a statement to the media about calling us by our full name instead of just as Tottenham.
    Maybe its cos the bbc can't fit both names in ?

    Yeah that’s correct, media and pundits/ commentators have been asked to call us either Spurs or Tottenham Hotspur. It’s petty as **** to be honest, I often say “Tottenham” when people ask who I support, that used to come with a bit of a head down expression in recent years in fear of being mocked but now I follow it with “you know, the Europa League champions”.

    If your club name cannot keep cadence with the
    'and it's X, X FC' song template, your club is lower class
    (lucky for some that X = 'Woolwich wanderers' works, eh) .

    I support that English club the current CL holders
    cannot currently beat without a penalty shoot-out.
