The Athletic

Hello, my name is Jack Pitbrook, and this is The View from the Lane, the Athletics, Tottenham Hotspur podcast.

Our normal host, Danny Kelly, is away today recuperating from a medical procedure at home and Ireland.

We obviously wish him all the best.

So I'm back in the chair and I'm joined

today by my athletic colleagues, Charlie Applescher and James Moore. I think we're all very

pleased to say that with the second of the autumn's three international breaks now almost out

of the way, we are thrillingly near to the return of Premier League football and Tottenham

It's just that they're going to be knackered. They're playing, you know, that generally we accept, don't we, that Thursday to Sunday is the, that's kind of the tightest turnaround you can have.
