Recently, Spurs made a great fuss over their home game against Chelsea, turning the embarrassing thrashing into a carbon zero event, with everything from vegan food offerings, to compartmentalized rubbish bins, with Sky Sports’ touchline reporter, Geoff Shreeves arriving at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium by bicycle.
Thanks to this report from the Evening Standard, it now emerges that the club has laid on a private jet to fly Emerson Royal, Cristian Romero, and Giovani Lo Celso back to North London in order that they can hopefully at least play some part in our clash against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. Davinson Sanchez must isolate for 10 days at the Spurs Lodge, as Colombia is one of seven countries on the UK red list that must quarantine.
Perhaps football clubs should stick to their primary role of producing football matches, as opposed to embarking upon campaigns that could inevitably cause a conflict of interest, and so make them look a little silly?
Spurs will face a tough crown in the North East this weekend, as the feel-good factor of new ownership at Newcastle is bound to have their support in a bullish mood.
