It’s back to Europe for Tottenham Hotspur in their preparations for the 2025/26 season, and they are sadly a couple of players down. Previous captain Son Heung-min’s transfer to LAFC has been made official, and James Maddison has suffered a potentially serious injury; but outside of that, the news has been largely positive on the pitch thus far under new manager Thomas Frank, with Spurs yet to suffer a defeat in preseason.
German champions Bayern Munich present a different challenge altogether, however, and Harry Kane will be raring to go against his old club. Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we?
Here’s your open thread to jump in and chat (and talk about your feelings and whatnot).
COYS!

Match thread rules
The match thread rules are the same as always. To any visitors coming here for the first time, welcome! We’re glad you’re here! Wipe your feet, mind the gap, and be sure to check out the other pages at this outstanding site. While you’re here, though, we have a few rules and regulations:
Absolutely no links to illegal streams. They’re bad and they get us in trouble. Violators will be warned or banned.
We have rules against “relentless negativity.” Nobody likes a Negative Nancy. Don’t knee-jerk and post outlandish or hurtful things just because you’re frustrated.
Along those lines, outright abuse of players or match officials is also not allowed. It’s fine to say “wow, that was a really bad call,” but it’s NOT okay to direct copious amounts of abuse in the direction of said official over a call you did not like.
Treat other people in the match thread the way you would want someone else to treat your grandmother. Be nice. This is a community of fans, not an un-moderated message board.
NO SPIDERS!
Finally, while we don’t have a rule against profanity, please try and keep the naughty words in check. Also, language that is sexist, racist, transphobic, or homophobic in nature will be swiftly deleted and you will be immediately banned. This is an open, supportive community.
Have fun, and COYS!
