good morning everyone, and welcome to Europa League Draw Day. Your hoddler-in-chief will be delaying his monthly EFL Championship monthly roundup til Tuesday.

There’s been something bothering me about the Tottenham Hotspur away kits. Not that I dislike them (I actually really do like them). It’s just that it looked so familiar and I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Pajamas? Nah, not really.
An Argentina kit? Kinda, but still no. Too blue.
It was only until a photo memory came up on my phone this evening that I finally made the connection.
“By God!,” I said, “This looks almost exactly like my rug!”
Okay, yes, the shade is a little bit lighter on the kit but they’re so similar.
For those asking “Which rug, fitzie”, well let me tell you. It’s the Nourison Whimsicle Eclectic Modern Blue Multicolor rug from Walmart.
Open that in a tab. Have it next to the Spurs away kit side-by-side. Real quick.
See it? See it?
Yes, yes. I said earlier the rug is a little bit darker. But the themes are still there. Now I can finally sleep at night, knowing the Spurs away kit resembles this whimsicle eclectic modern blue multicolour rug.
Maybe I’ll just have to buy the away kit to match with it.
