He’s gone.
Harry.
Harry Kane.
Played for Spurs.
Captained Spurs.
Captains England!!!
Yet moved to Germany on Friday. F’rever. To play for Bayern Munich. Arrived there Friday afternoon, by Saturday afternoon he was playing for Munchen and losing to Leipzig in some Teutonic version of the ‘charity shield’ they have over there. And today makes it 2 days and he STILL hasn’t won a winners’ medal! I thought they’d just give him half a dozen for merely walking out of White Hart Lane. But no, apparently even Harry is going to have to earn them. And good luck to him.

But what does it say about our club? Our ‘big club’ in whom top stars have such confidence that they have to leave before they might win something? That we can advance so far and then… just fall back down again. It has tragically become part of our culture. But maybe, just maybe, it might all just change!!! New manager, new players, new striker being courted… and a new season.

So how did we do without Harry? Honestly? I have no idea. I was ‘busy’. And missed the match on tv. Because I’d booked, without checking the fixtures, obviously, to visit the ‘Spurs Experience’ tour, at the ground. And the ‘Dare Skywalk’!

The Spurs Experience is amazing. They take you up, giving you wonderful things on the way, money, cars, houses, holidays, fur coats, unlimited tattoos, great food, wild women, Lego… and then, just when you’re reaching the top and about to have a one-to-one with God him/her-self!!!… they drop you 30 feet back to the floor to bump your head, sprain your ankle and they steal your phone.

But in fact it was NOT the metaphorical experience which all fans live every year, it was the real thing! With changing rooms and access to normally inaccessible parts of the ground and the NFL bits and all the ‘secrets’ which only the 362,228 people who’ve taken the tour know. Though it was also a bit ‘unreal’ because its not a match day so you park outside the ground!!!

Then we went for a walk on the roof of the stadium. Its only 43 metres above the ground, so no idea why they clamp you with harnesses and all manner of climbing shit. Not like you’re going to jump off is it? Its too early in the season for that.

Happy Sunday
