Tottenham Hotspur are to stage a Premier League title winning dress rehearsal on Sunday.
Paddy Power News understands that the North London club are so buzzing they’re top of the league that they have decided to do a dry run to get the players used to that winning feeling.
A source inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium explained that:
“Nine games in and we are top of the league. It feels like its finally our year.
“What could possibly go wrong?
“We don’t want to go into an end of season bus parade undercooked, so we thought it would be a great idea to let the players get used to what it’s like winning something.
“The lads play Crystal Palace on Friday so the gaffer has allowed them to go on the p*ss for the rest of the weekend, which will culminate with an open top bus tour on Sunday afternoon.
“This team are winners, not bottlers and May next year will see the biggest party London has witnessed since that lot down the road became the Invincibles.”
We understand that Spurs have hired a 1961 London bus, built the year they last won the First Division championship, which will depart from the stadium at 1pm, go up and down the Seven Sisters Road a few times, before returning for a victory lap inside the ground.

We tried to get a sneak preview but were told that someone had broken into the garage on Wednesday night and scrawled some lewd graffiti about James Maddison on the side of the bus.
Paddy Power News has also been told that fans will be able to purchase Premier League Champions 2023-24 scarves from the megastore from 10am on Sunday morning, but entry into the stadium to salute their heroes is strictly ticket only.
Existing season-ticket holders will be able to purchase their usual seat before 5pm on Friday for a discounted cost of 150 quid. The remainder will go on general sale on Friday evening, costing £200, with no concessions.
We wanted to gauge the fans view on the extortionate charge. One of them told us:
“You cannot put a price on success. To be top of the table by the end of October is an incredible achievement, so even if – well, when – we f**k things up in the New Year, it will still feel like we are the true champions… won’t it?”
*Paddy Power’s breaking news coverage is 100% nonsense, but you knew that already… didn’t you?
