god morning!
We’ll have your hoddle coming up in just a moment, but first Hoddle Headquarters would like to pay a brief tribute to Barbora Votikova.
Tottenham announced the transfer of former Hoddle Hero to SK Slavia Prague earlier this week. We should not remember the Votikova’s heroics to help secure Tottenham Women’s first ever North London Derby win this past season.
Nor should we ever discount what a genuinely good person she is. The world’s a much better and more interesting place because of her.
Now, onto the hoddle.

Premier League football is BACK !!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe it? I sure as heck can’t. It’s going to be weird waking up on Saturday morning to watch Rebecca Lowe wax poetic about Ipswich Town’s rise to the promised land.
But first, a Friday night matchup between Manchester United and Fulham.
That’ll be the first of many appetizers before the most important game of the week: Tottenham vs Leicester City. Which we all have to wait until Monday for. Us American viewers are most displeased.
Still, there are lots of exciting football matches going on. West Ham-Villa, City-Chelsea, Forest-Bournemouth, Brentford-Palace.
It’s all football, baby!
Or, will you slum it up with Fitzie in the EFL Championship?
Anyone up for Coventry-Oxford United? Plymouth-Luton Town? Or how about Sheffield United-QPR? Honestly, all exciting.
It’s all football baby!
Whatever you watch, so long as it’s got a round ball it can’t be a bad choice (for you baseball purists out there). Because the Premier League is BACK!
Fitzie’s track of the day: Call Me, by The Last Dinner Party
