Since the final day of the last Premier League season, Spurs have known that they will likely start their European adventure this season from the qualifying stages.
When Arsenal beat Chelsea to win the FA Cup, that was confirmed and they will now start their European journey from the second round.
The Lilywhites have been drawn with Bulgarian side, Lokomotiv Plovdiv, and the game will be played on the 17th of September.
This makes it quite an awkward start to the season for Jose Mourinho’s men.
The new Premier League season will start on the 12th of September with Tottenham taking on Everton on the 13th.
They will then travel to Bulgaria to face Plovdiv in the one-off European game on the 17th.
They will play their next game on the 19th in the Premier League. That match will be followed by a Carabao Cup game on the 22 of September.
If they beat Plovdiv to reach the next round of the Europa League, they will play another Europa League qualifying game on the 24th of September.
They will play two more games before the end of next month, with a Premier League game on 26th and Carabao Cup fourth round game on the 29th if they qualify.
That is an eye-opening seven games in just 16 days, that is what you call a fixture pile-up. Hopefully, the lads will be fit enough to deliver the results that will see them get the season off to a flyer despite the congestion of games.

You’re like a child, levy this levy that. Enic out bla bla bla. Have you got any kids? My guess is no. I don’t know many thick parents, I know more thick people without kids
I ain’t got Amazon, aint getting amazon.. The kids had the choice and they chose netflix. I’ll get round to it. Denial about what? You’re the only knt $laging it off. Why am I not surprised.
Oh really stuck in the past man. Let the past go and move on like most smart people have. You may start to enjoy your club again.
I don’t need to help Levy look bad, it’s just that the thickos need reminding because they’re a bit dim…
Have you watched it? Are you in denial? 😂
My down vote.
He’ll always find a way to make levy look bad, which in turn makes the club look bad too. (He don’t understand that bit) he goes looking for it.
Keep this under your hat man. We’re using them. Shhh
That huddle was bizarre wasn’t it? Levy turned us into a pantomime…
C’mon East. The season ended with a joyous jumping huddle after a witless display at Selhurst park. Amazon a million miles from their minds.
PS Levy’s appearances in the first 3 episodes are the only thing that sustains my interest in seeing more. Toe curlingly compelling.
Watched the Amazon thing. Just confirms how staged these things actually are.
Also, Levy is a terrible actor. If he thinks this cartoon strip will paint him as anything other than what many of us suspect when it comes to football he’s very much mistaken.
In the context of what he’d done in the previous seasons and how the season finished he case built for sacking Poch just doesn’t stack up either. The players were also clearly very fond of him.
Last couple of paragraphs of a review;
‘To watch All or Nothing and assume that Mourinho’s gesticulations are genuine is to watch Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday and assume that every match begins and ends with a monologue on life itself. It doesn’t. Self awareness is very much intrinsic to how most of the protagonists act and respond to retain their own reputations, but it’s just not very good telly.’
‘And the tough thing we’ve got now is that, three episodes in, we know what happens next. Eriksen leaves, Kane gets injured, coronavirus happens, the season ends in a whimper. Once you know the story, it had better have a good ending. The Last Dance does, and this, we know, doesn’t.’
Pretty much sums it up, it’s shoddy garbage…
Throw in a couple of England and other International games into the mix as well. We’ll see what fitness levels are like.
We’ll get 2 in at least I reckon. Could get 3.
Jose knows what he’s doing man.
This is bonkers. Bloody well hope we have a second striker by then or Kane aint even gonna make it to Christmas this season!
Nice one, thanks for the info. It could have been titled “Tottenham the first month of the season is a bit of an awkward one”. Looks like we need a few more very good incomers.
