Group Chat Resolves To Harness Solanke Momentum And Waits Nine Days For Next Meeting

A Tottenham group chat of eleven members has reached a formal position on the Evening Standard briefing that Spurs must harness the momentum of Dominic Solanke's stoppage-time equaliser against Manchester United. The position, as minuted, is broadly yes.

The sitting was convened on the front seat of the top deck of a London bus at 8:14am, after one member posted the link and a second replied "this" without elaboration.

The briefing, by Sam Tabuteau, records that Roberto De Zerbi's side pressed United hard in the first half, that chances for Solanke and Mohammed Kudus went begging, and that Bryan Mbeumo's goal 17 minutes from time was answered by Solanke's header. The chat accepted all of this as read.

Harness it, yes. But nobody has said what with.

The chair, who held a rucksack on his knee throughout, then moved that the momentum be harnessed over the nine days before Spurs play again, a period that includes a trip to Marbella. A member asked where momentum is kept in the meantime. The chair ruled the question out of order, then in order, then adjourned it to the stairs.

The motion was carried by nine votes to one. A further thumbs-up arrived at 11:40pm and was not counted, though it was acknowledged in the minutes as warmly received.

The chat's longest-serving member asked for it to be recorded that he had said Spurs would need to be more ruthless in the final third.

I said it in August. It is in the chat. Scroll up.

Four members have since muted the chat. The bus reached its stop and the motion was left on the seat.
