It's time for a new episode of Talking Tottenham as our Spurs correspondent Alasdair Gold is aided and abetted by guest host Harry Brent
Another season and as sure as injuries at Tottenham is information leaking out of the north London club to the detriment of the head coach and his team.
It's difficult to keep information inside any Premier League club due to the huge number of people involved and all of those in the circles around the players, such as their agents, PR people and family and many more. However, in recent years Spurs have been as leaky as a rusty old pipe when it comes to info escaping from within the walls.
Now Roberto De Zerbi's first three team line-ups of the Premier League season have all been readily available on social media and in WhatsApp groups and messages boards 24 hours before the games and therefore also available to the opposition.

He added: "It’s not agents, definitely not agents. The stuff that is coming out is pretty specific. The language used is not used by agents, trust me. It’s definitely not the players because for me the information that is getting out is...Look, I’ve always said, especially with medical information, I’m really, really careful [with it].
"I know everyone thinks these things should be carte blanche in terms of information flow but I’m still very respectful in terms of medical records and how much information we actually give on certain things. The fact that it is getting out is unacceptable from a club perspective. I’ve got enough challenges out there without adding more."
