The knives are already being sharpened for Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur, but he's not going anywhere. For now.

Writing about bad injury news isn't fun. So how about some GOOD injury news? Good thing I have some ahead of the NLD!
Sarr, Kolo Muani, Bergvall available for Tottenham vs. Arsenal
Some good news!

The pretense has officially been abandoned -- neither Spurs nor the player are putting a timeline on when Dom Solanke will be playing matches again.

Look I don't want to get too far over my skiis but Olivia Holdt is going to win the Ballon d'Or
So I don’t know where this person gets their data from but maybe “Olivia Holdt is the best player in the world” isn’t just a @n17women.bsky.social bit 🤔

We don't know yet if ol' Randy Kilo Miami will play in the NLD this Sunday or not... but he might! And in a mask!
Randal Kolo Muani does not need jaw surgery, could play in mask vs. Arsenal

Thomas Tuchel has high standards for his England players. That's fine. But he inserted himself into the Djed Spence "snub" situation, and then spoke publicly about it, in a way that makes me uncomfortable.
Thomas Tuchel just inserted himself into Djed Spence “snub” discourse
Tuchel said he had a chat with Djed Spence about the Chelsea incident. He didn’t have to say that publicly.

This was a fantastic NLD -- two evenly matched teams going after it, both respecting the other's ability, and with a fair and deserved result.

Concussions take time to heal. Lucas clearly needs more time. Frustrating for him, but 100% the correct decision.

Real missed opportunity to name it Alfie deVine imo
Vine is being rebooted under the name diVine, with funding from Twitter’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.

The app plans to feature more than 10,000 previously archived Vines and does not allow AI-generated content.

Exciting news! According to reports in Norway, Tottenham Women have a "deal in principle" to sign 20-year-old Brann attacking midfielder Signe Gaupset for what would be a Topserien record fee when the transfer window opens in January!

Update to this piece -- NBC has stated that the matches that were exclusively streamed on Peacock will (at least for now) continue to be streamed on Peacock. It's all murky!

The rumors of a spectacular Sonny return to Tottenham during the MLS break never made sense, and Son just quashed them, forcefully.

(I miss him too, but these rumors were dumb!)
Son Heung-Min will not sign for another club during MLS break
For those of you holding out hope for a Spurs return — not happening.
