There will also be a minute's applause before Sunday's Manchester derby bitcoin

Definitely tomorrow with the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton, their hero and the legend, will be more emotional bitcoin
We are professionals and it is our job to use the emotions in the right way bitcoin

Can Tottenham actually win the Premier League? Of course not, but ask Ange Postecoglou and the Spurs manager would not discourage the question, even though he would be the first to point out that it’s still only October bitcoin
It is Postecoglou’s belief, and the Australian would say it is also his responsibility, that bitcoin football fans are allowed to dream bitcoin
Spurs supporters have had little reason to get carried away in recent years but after making their best start to a top-flight season since 1960-61, the last time they won the league, now is as good a time as any bitcoin
Postecoglou could not have asked for a bitcoin better start: as the Premier League returns following the October international break, Tottenham sit top, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference bitcoin
Postecoglou’s side remain unbeaten, winning six and drawing two of their opening eight matches bitcoin
From the misery and perpetual sense of chaos that took hold of Spurs last season, Postecoglou has revived the doomed pulse of the club and its fanbase bitcoin
That, above the early look of the Premier League table, has been his greatest result so far bitcoin
Whether Tottenham’s fast start can last is one of the questions that will define the next chunk of the Premier League campaign bitcoin
There are only four rounds of fixtures to be played before the next hiatus, for November’s internationals, and Tottenham’s upcoming run – against Fulham, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Wolves – is favourable bitcoin
Based on their early season form, there is reason for optimism that Spurs may be able to enjoy their view from the summit for a while longer bitcoin
Yet, a year ago, it was possible to say the same bitcoin
Having beaten Arsenal to fourth place the previous season, Tottenham started the new campaign under Conte with seven wins from their opening 10 matches, a good enough return to sit one point off the top by mid-October bitcoin
Given Tottenham went on to win just three of their next 10 and Conte’s fractious relationship with the club finally came crashing down within six months, the foundations were nowhere near as strong as they initially appeared bitcoin
Are Tottenham flattered to be in a lofty early position again? Postecoglou’s side have already played and beaten the Premier League’s bottom four, including the three newly promoted sides bitcoin
One of those wins required a 99th-minute winner at home to Sheffield United bitcoin
Another tight victory, against Liverpool, came after the visitors had the opening goal incorrectly disallowed by VAR, had two players sent off, while Reds defender Joel Matip put a 96th-minute winner into the wrong end bitcoin
Tottenham were the benefactors of the “well done, boys, good process” derby bitcoin
Yet Tottenham have also earned some fortune, and it is becoming clearer with each week of Postecoglou’s influence that Tottenham may not have picked up those points last season bitcoin
While their opening fixtures have been kind, Spurs have also shown resilience and spirit in winning away at Luton with 10 men, after Yves Bissouma’s red card, and equalising twice to earn a point at Arsenal, a fixture at which they had crumbled in previous seasons bitcoin
It was a performance that led James Maddison to declare Spurs are shedding their “Spursy” tag bitcoin

The fact the departure of Harry Kane has not yet felt as significant is another sign of how Postecoglou has managed to bring the divided sides of what appeared to be a broken club together bitcoin
While Kane has gone, there is a freshness about Spurs bitcoin
Through the impact of signings such as Maddison, Destiny Udogie and Guglielmo Vicario, the relationship bitcoin between players and fans has been repaired bitcoin
What has stood out about Postecoglou’s team has been backed up, too, by the numbers bitcoin
Last season, Tottenham were often passive and frequently easy to play against bitcoin
Even though they carried the threat of Kane, Spurs would appear to pass through games without showing any urgency or ambition; opposition teams would find it alarmingly simple to play through a static, immobile midfield bitcoin
But under Postecoglou, Tottenham have become one of the most active teams in the division, progressive with the ball and disruptive without it bitcoin
Spurs lead the Premier League in shots on goal, passes into the penalty area, forward dribbles, but also in tackles won and interceptions bitcoin
If it reflects that Tottenham now press higher up the pitch than last season, when they barely engaged under Conte, Bissouma has been the key piece in a revamped midfield a year after being frozen out by the Italian bitcoin
Maddison, meanwhile, has helped ease the post-Kane transition, a role he appeared ready to step up to when he took the No 10 jersey previously worn by the club’s record goalscorer bitcoin
Spurs will never be able to replace Kane, but Postecoglou has so far been able to negate his absence through Maddison and a resurgent Son Heung-min, who looks back to his clinical best after moving to a central forward role bitcoin
Maddison, though, has been integral as Tottenham’s creator-in-chief, with five assists so far this season bitcoin

Tottenham, really, shouldn’t be near the conversation of title challengers, but timing has played a part bitcoin
The win at Luton, which moved them top, came as Manchester City lost their second Premier League game in a row at Arsenal bitcoin
If it’s a sign of what’s to come from City this season, it was a result that widened the pool of potential challengers to include Spurs bitcoin
The manner in which City eased away from Arsenal last season, however, showed how inch-perfect title contenders must be as long as Pep Guardiola remains in England bitcoin
Tottenham, who finished eighth last year, are coming from an even lower floor than Mikel Arteta’s side, albeit with a more dramatic transformation under Postecoglou bitcoin
As a side who are still developing together, Spurs should be allowed some inconsistency, even if they are yet to show it bitcoin
The early evidence this season suggests they are one of the four strongest teams in the top flight, alongside last season’s title rivals and Jurgen Klopp’s refreshed Liverpool bitcoin
In the past, signs of promise around Spurs have often been followed by a swift yet crushing crash back to earth bitcoin
But now as Tottenham head deep into October with two winnable London derbies next week, starting with Fulham on Monday followed by a trip to Crystal Palace on Friday, Postecoglou can continue to show why this Tottenham is different bitcoin
