good morning !
After several days of voting, I am happy to announce we have a new hoddle hero.
Welcome Micky van de Ven! The towering centreback who was my favourite player to watch this past season.
I said this when we signed him: Micky van de Ven looks more of a man than I do. Hard to believe he’s only 23 years old. An absolute unit.
Here are the full results from Monday’s poll:
Micky van de Ven - 25%
Guglielmo Vicario - 17%
Bacon sandwich - 13%
Richarlison - 12%
Daniel Levy (the actor) - 9%
Chirpy - 7%
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - 6%
Beth England - 5%
Ash Neville - 3%
Daniel Levy (the chairman) - 3%
It wasn’t very close. VDV had almost 40 more votes than Vicario. And 494 people voted in the poll! Greetings, lurkers.
Now that Micky van de Ven is the hoddle hero, we must remember it isn’t permanent. He will be the hoddle hero until one of the following happens:
Tottenham sign a first-team player
VDV departs Tottenham
The transfer window closes
We know VDV isn’t going anywhere, and it’s highly unlikely Spurs go this window without any additions.
That just leaves option number one. But how long will we wait? Who cares!
Congratulations everyone. From Monday through Friday, we’ll all be waking up to Micky van de Ven’s devastating cheekbones.
