The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur News and Links for Wednesday, December 13

Ramble of the Day

As I’m sure many of you know at this point, Mauricio Pochettino said yesterday that Érik Lamela is in contention to start against Brighton today. If he does, it would mark his first start for the club since October 22, when the team tied 0-0 at Bournemouth.

To mark the occasion, should it happen, I was contemplating what exactly I should do to celebrate. Find some empanadas? Maybe some maté? What if I don’t like maté? Should I suck it up for Lamela? What he went through in his year away was probably worse than I what I would go through...
