Now that our two-day celebration of Tom Petty has come and gone, it’s finally time to take a look at the month ahead. And, wow, it actually looks like there’s lots of football in store.
——
Tottenham Hotspur men’s squad:
I guess this is a timely Look at the Month Ahead too, considering Tottenham are back in action today against Ferencvaros. Do we love the Europa League or what? I’m still bummed we’re not going to Elfsborg.
Besides that trip, it looks like a pretty easy time travel-wise. Three matches in London, a short trip down to Brighton and a less-short trip up to Manchester for the City game.
I’m pretty excited. It’s been a good year despite a few results going by the wayside. A packed schedule can be a great way to get the momentum going for a typical Ange Postecoglou trophy season.
Tottenham Hotspur men’s schedule: at Ferencvaros (7 Oct, Europa League), at Brighton (6 Oct), West Ham (19 Oct), AZ (24 Oct, Europa League), at Palace (27 Oct), Manchester City (30 Oct)
Tottenham Hotspur women’s squad:
It’s been a good start to the season for the women’s team, with a 4-0 win against Palace and a draw against Villa. But this looks like a tough month, particularly against Chelsea. I’m very interested to see how Tottenham progress after last season, and I think this month will be a good barometer of that progress.
Tottenham Hotspur women’s schedule: at Charlton (2 Oct, WSL Cup), Liverpool (6 Oct), at Man United (13 Oct), at Chelsea (20 Oct)
Fitzie’s track of the day: Beethoven’s 5th Symphony in C Minor Op 67 – Mvmt 1 (conducted by Paavo Järvi and performed by the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen)
