Erik Lamela recently scored his first goal for Spurs and looks set to be pushing for a debut league start after the international break. The Argentinean has had a slow start to his Tottenham career but is finally showing glimpses of what he can offer to the team, through performances in cup games against Hull […]
I double checked, no triple checked the kick-off time. Twelve noon. What? That’s 5 am Denver, Colorado time. I duly set my alarm for 04:30. My wife asked why I simply couldn’t record it and watch it later. I smiled condescendingly. She’s American. I endured the game downstairs on my laptop with various mugs of strong coffee, […]
