To those of you who watched Tottenham’s friendly against Reading, I would like to know how it went. While I presume all of you were glued to the television, your hoddler-in-chief was wallowing at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
I am happy to report I made it back in time to watch the final 10 minutes of the game, at which point Spurs were already up 2-0. But that’s not good enough.
So I’m going to pick a few pictures from the game that I think are kinda cool.
Kevin Danso
Here is Kevin Danso in action. The man looks like he’s carved out of marble. Just look at those biceps! If anyone can speak to his performance, do share.
Luka Vuskovic, Will Lankshear and Yves Bissouma
There are a few things I’d like to point here.
It features both of Tottenham’s goal-scorers from Saturday: Vuskovic and Lankshear.
This is my first time actually seeing Vuskovic. That’s one tall dude.
I can’t claim to know a whole lot about either of them, but I’m pleased to see they put their names on the scoresheet. What will this lead for them heading into the season? First-team football or a loan spell?
The away kits
Wow - these kits look pretty dang sick. I love the black and white. This picture of Lucas Bergvall also gives us a closer look at the grid pattern on the shirts.
It’s been a couple seasons since I last got a Spurs kit. This one sure is tempting me.
