Like it or not, the dreaded International Break in the Premier League season is upon us. While we know that we can't derive maximum enjoyment from a weekend without Spurs football, it doesn't mean that we should let the weekend pass us by. Follow these eighg steps to get the most out of your International Break!
1. Do something with your significant other/family- The trick is you want to do something memorable at the exact time slot you usually devote to Spurs. That way, you can always point back to it if your family tries to say you always put Tottenham first. Don't tell your family that Spurs aren't playing due to the break, let them believe you just chose them first for the weekend.
2. Adopt an international side to watch- Preferably choose a nation other than your own. This will distract you while you watch the match and also increase your world football knowledge. Think of how impressed your friends will be when you speak knowledgeably on some Icelandic youth that we have reported interest in during the next Transfer window. The more obscure the nation you choose to adopt the better. Bonus points for choosing an Eastern European side.
3. Detox- You probably indulge in some sort of alcohol, drugs or gluttony as part of your Spurs fandom. Give it a rest this weekend so you can come back prepared once the season kicks into high gear. Remember, the Premier League season is a marathon, not a sprint.
4. Work on a new song- We have some new players that are devoid of popular songs inside the stadium. This is your chance to make your mark! Imagine your limerick resonating throughout White Hart Lane applauding the efforts of Clinton N'Jie!
5. Research Ju Ju- You can never be too careful. Ju Ju has ruined Emmanuel Adebayor's career at Spurs so there's no telling what it might do to your own life. Knowledge is power so safeguard yourself against the dark arts.
6. Troll Arsenal fans- I really shouldn't have to tell you to do this because you should delight in this practice all year round. Pick up your efforts this weekend. Whether or not you choose the full kit wanker down the street or just want to tweet at Jack Wilshere's injury riddled body, do it with gusto!
7. Learn something about Tottenham history- Pick up a book on the history of the Club or watch a documentary on the career of Ardiles. Part of the beauty of being a Tottenham fan is connecting with the Club's rich, proud and colorful history. It's all well and good to know everything about Tottenham in its current form, but if you don't know the history you're cheating yourself out of the full fan experience.
8. Browse the great selection of Spurs blogs/podcasts, etc in the web- Of course I hope you read my blog and other published works regularly but there are a lot of other good Spurs fan content out there as well. Start out with The Fighting Cock, HotspurHQ.com and branch out from there to see what you really like.
