I understand we’re halfway through the month, but I don’t care. Tottenham Hotspur Women deserve to be featured, and it was my fault for not posting about them accurately earlier this month. A significant thanks is offered to the commenter who pointed that out to me.

Here’s the deal. There is a schedule for Tottenham Hotspur women. But their season doesn’t properly being until September (boo !!!)

Settle down. SETTLE DOWN, I SAY. SETTLE DOWN!

My dearest audience, have you not heard? Tottenham Hotspur Women are playing a preseason friendly against Sevilla this Friday!

I understand there has been some consternation among the hoddle placement lately amid this site’s transformation. But I agree with our overlord D-Menno: Tottenham Hotspur Women deserve to be featured.

They will. I would rather this site promote women’s sports than a supercilious column that rarely touches on the club it is supposed to cover. Let’s be real, is this even a column, or is this fitzie’s verbiage playground?

I hate how clubs like Chelsea and Aston Villa have treated their women’s teams, and I will never support it. Women’s sport’s aren’t a means to support a men’s club. Women’s sports are an ends to themselves. And I hope Tottenham will never go down the Chelsea route. And every day I am grateful Spurs were blessed with a superstar like Alex Morgan to put the club in its place.

I’ll never forget that Spurs Women once practiced at the same facility as fitzie’s tennis team. A professional football club deserves professional training grounds.

Come On You Spurs Women!
