Feel like I’m in the extreme minority, but I’ve always loved centralised badges. Part of our heritage!

Really enjoyed this Pedro chat. I've performed a real and quite shameless switcheroo on PP — thought he matured beautifully through the Europa knockouts and showed leadership qualities to match his ability on the ball. One of our very best players imo.

Two weeks since Bilbao. Ridiculous that there's no clarity on Ange. I know the club wouldn't put out a statement to confirm he's staying, but they would give word to trusted journos. Either Levy's busy lining up a new boss, or something odd/big is happening behind the scenes imo

gonna miss Alfie so so much 💔

Johan Lange:

Personally feel it's the right call, but also think it's been dealt with so poorly that Levy has potentially torpedoed so much of the momentum and good vibes. Hopefully it's momentum that can be regathered with a couple of good (and quick) signings, though.

A huge thank you to Ange — I wept like a baby at the final whistle in Bilbao, and can't tell you how appreciative I will always be to him for helping to give us that moment. Whether you were Ange In or Ange Out, this is a sad day.

well, let’s hope I’m happy with what I asked for!

I know it perhaps won’t count for loads if his Tottenham aren’t very good, but Thomas Frank’s character & decency does feel quite important/nice/reassuring to me. Having someone like this as the face of your club when football is such a grubby business in so many ways is cool.

Did anyone else’s Beach Boys fandom start here and have them working backwards, slightly bewildered? 😂 Kokomo was on a Songs from the Movies cassette my mum had semi-permanently in her car stereo and I’ll always love it even though I was upset when I found out Kokomo isn’t real

There’s great football club crests, and then there’s Ligue 1 in the ‘90s football club crests.

This Kalimuendo lad gives proper Defoe vibes. I’m so in.

Not important in the slightest, but pet peeve is aggregators citing the Guardian as the source when they're referring to something from Guardian's Rumour mill column. Also! Why can't the Guardian's writer say in the column say where they found the rumours? Help us out, Guardian!
