good morning!

I’ve never felt so conflicted about Tottenham in my life. This must be how many of you felt about City-Spurs last season.

What am I to do? Root against Harry Winks? Tottenham legend Harry Winks? The Harry Winks whom fitzie has spent YEARS (literal years!!!) defending against the world?

And yet here I find myself, rooting against Harry Winks.

I think I’ve found out a good compromise. I will root for individual brilliance from Harry Winks, whilst simultaneously rooting for a 5-0 Spurs win.

Sorted. Done.

Because Tottenham Hotspur football is BACK!!!

It’s so lame we had to wait the entire weekend and then some to watch our beloved boys in lillywhite (and Harry Winks, let’s not forget him) play meaningful football again.

So share where you’ll be watching from. I’m particularly interested in you West Coast American fans. A 12pm Monday kickoff? Time your lunch breaks well.

As for me, I’ll be trying to figure out which kit to wear. Do I wear my tried-and-tested Kyle Walker shirt, the 2018-19 Winks third kit, last year’s Sonny away kit? I’m torn! Maybe I’ll switch out every thirty minutes.

Regardless where you’ll be following from or what you’ll be wearing (hopefully some clothing, but let’s not get too personal please), Tottenham Hotspur football is BACK !!
