Today’s rumours are tipping their hat to Harry Lewis
The Mill was digging through some old comedy clips last night and stumbled across the classic Monty Python ‘fish slap’ sketch.

This same dance appears to be happening in the Harry Kane transfer saga. Bayern Munich have spent the entire summer giving the Tottenham chairman, Daniel Levy, a series of little taps in a bid to prize the England striker away from north London. But Levy, like Cleese, is standing firm and ready to bat Bayern aside.
