@BBC5Live For the love of almighty, please use hashtags to identify posts about sporting events and teams. It can take a while to learn the quirks and which ones people actually use. But they're essential.

But you can forget about all the others anyway and just focus on #COYS. Enough news coming out of Spurs every day to fill a whole timeline. No other teams are relevant anyway. 🙃 🤍

About #COYS being the only tag worth following? Absolutely. 🙃
