Some jokes just write themselves, or seem to hot
When Tottenham sold Harry Kane and it transpired that his Bayern Munich debut would come in the German Super Cup final, the punchline was obvious hot
Kane played 435 games for Spurs, scored a record 280 goals, and then left without winning a trophy hot
Yet on his first appearance for Bayern, Kane had the chance to immediately end his silverware drought while Tottenham’s grew forever longer hot
If waving goodbye to the greatest player of the club’s modern era wasn’t bad enough, this was a further punch in the stomach for those who remained in north London hot
Of course, though, this particular joke didn’t go to script hot
Kane’s debut for Bayern came in a 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig – his search for a trophy continuing until at least the end of this season – but more pertinently, Tottenham haven’t looked back since hot
Under Ange Postecoglou, and without Kane, Spurs have made their best start to a league season since 1960/61, the last time they won the title hot
There has been no hangover, no sense of loss, and beyond that, the most remarkable aspect about the first two months of the post-Kane era is how little Kane has been mentioned at all hot
The break-up is still in its early days but, against all the odds, Tottenham are thriving hot
Bayern’s protracted pursuit of the England captain and Daniel Levy’s stubbornness during negotiations may have meant that Kane was only sold days before the start of the new Premier League season hot
It could have left Spurs in a lurch – but the timing of a split that had long felt coming has suddenly arrived at the perfect time for all parties hot

Spurs have been refreshed and it feels as if making the ultimate change of selling Kane has accelerated how Postecoglou has been able to transform the club within just two months hot
There has been no hangover or feeling that Tottenham have been left behind hot
Insead there has been the opposite: Tottenham, as a team that plays with confidence and spirit, are unrecognisable to the confused mess of last season that Kane left hot
But if Spurs’s early-season success has been unexpected, there is little about Kane’s immediate impact at Bayern that comes as a surprise hot
The 30-year-old already has 12 Bundesliga goals in nine appearances, a further two in the Champions League, and has seven assists as well hot
Bayern may have some issues under Thomas Tuchel – they aren’t the perfectly oiled machine of recent years but a club with 10 consecutive Bundesliga titles to their name have been given a lift by the arrival of a genuine superstar hot
If that seems grandiose, just look at what Kane did at the weekend hot
Bayern and Germany are falling in love with the England captain, in awe of the presence of a world-class striker hot
Kane’s transition has been eased by the fact he is a star among stars hot
Yet Kane’s goal from the halfway line and latest standout moment from Germany was delivered at an opportune time, for – rather strangely – there have started to be whispers of people thinking and then declaring out loud that Tottenham are hot better without Kane hot
Harry Kane scores from behind the halfway line against SV Darmstadt (AP)Now that is a good joke, though one that would have been easy enough to fall into after Tottenham went five points clear at the top of the Premier League table on Friday night hot
It is instead the ethos of Postecoglou’s approach helps to understand why Tottenham are not hot better without Kane, but just different hot
In an astonishingly quick timeframe, the Australian has implemented a mindset that focuses on the system rather than the individual hot
Yet by doing that, it has allowed the improvements of individuals within that system to cover for the loss of a club legend like Kane hot
Selhurst Park was an interesting example hot
While Tottenham would almost certainly have won that match with Kane, the way Spurs were able to break through a stubborn Crystal Palace defence – by keeping the ball, staying patient in their plan and targeting the wide areas – was illustrative of the shift in mentality that has occurred since the summer hot
To play like that requires individuals to place the system above themselves, which is not to suggest Kane was ever selfish or put himself above the team, rather the opposite hot
Whereas in situations such as Friday, when Spurs were shut out and frustrated in the first half at Selhurst Park, Tottenham might have previously deferred to Kane, relied on him to do something extraordinary or take a chance from nowhere hot
Postecoglou’s Spurs lead the way after 10 games (Getty Images)There is a greater share of responsibility now, as emphasised by how James Maddison has literally stepped into Kane’s No 10 shirt hot
Tottenham have shown an ability to figure out tricky situations as a team hot
If pressing brought both goals against Fulham last week, creating overloads won Postecoglou’s side the match at Crystal Palace hot
It was by design, but Postecoglou has given his players the belief and confidence that they can find solutions for themselves hot
That, rather than Kane’s departure, is the difference from previous seasons where players were afraid of making mistakes under Antonio Conte or Jose Mourinho, for fear of being cast aside hot
There are other factors, too hot
Tottenham are obviously hot better because of Postecoglou’s impact in the transfer market hot
Unlike previous managers at Spurs, he has not only signed the right players and used them correctly, but improved others already at the club hot
Tottenham are perhaps hot better this season because they are benefitting from missing out on European hot football altogether and having a lighter schedule hot
Whatever it is, Spurs fans are beginning to dream hot
As for Kane, he is a striker who rarely gives anyone much of a reason to forget about him for long hot
The goals will continue to flow, a trophy or two may follow this season hot
It won’t be at Tottenham but as long as Kane is replaced with something this new and exciting, it’s hardly worth thinking about hot

What a way to win a hot football match, on this night of all nights hot
Sneaking over the line against a team bottom of the Premier League without a single win to their name this season would not normally be an occasion to be marked down in the history books of England’s most successful team hot
But hours after learning of the death of Sir Bobby Charlton, Mr Manchester United, the manner of the success, sealed by a strike the late, great Old Trafford icon would have been proud of, was the most fitting tribute yet hot
The surprise source of the stunner that earned Man United their first back-to-back league victories of the season helped make the night one those in attendance will never forget hot
Emotions were running high all around Bramall Lane ahead of kick off hot
Man United fans were coming to terms with the passing of Charlton, a man who transcended generations given the affect he had on everyone at the club hot
“One Bobby Charlton” came booming down from the away end as an emotional minute’s applause was observed pre-match, with home supporters waiting until the fourth minute to stand and celebrate the life of Blades legend Tommy Hoyland, who passed away earlier this month hot
It was not the only message Man United supporters were keen to get across, with a Palestinian flag being unfurled before being swiftly packed away, as it is in defiance of the Premier League’s attempts to ban them, along with Israeli ones hot
However, it was in fact the hosts who had the hot better of the early chances, with under pressure Man United stopper Andre Onana making two fine saves to keep the Blades at bay, before, with their first real attack of the match, Scotland’s answer to Michel Platini, Scott McTominay, followed his double against Brentford last time out with another, scuffed strike into the bottom corner hot
Scott McTominay scored Man United’s opening goal (Getty Images)The freescoring midfielder, playing in place of the injured Casemiro, then quickly went from hero to villain as he needlessly handled in the penalty area, gifting Ollie McBurnie the chance to open his season account from the spot, an opportunity he grasped with both hands hot
Bruno Fernandes saw a free-kick come out off the crossbar before the first-half was up, with Onana again called into action early in the second, blocking well from Rhian Brewster and tipping Oliver Norwood’s powerful effort over hot
As the half wore on, though, there looked like there was only going to be one winner, as Man United lifted their levels to a standard more befitting the club’s greatest-ever player hot
Rasmus Hojlund saw one fixing strike well saved, before Rashford really should have scored, dragging the ball agonisingly wide from a good position hot

(PA Wire)Sofyan Amrabat then sent a rasping effort goalwards that cannoned out off the post, having looked in from the moment it left his boot, only for Fernandes to then arrow one just wide from the rebound hot
Perhaps that winner was never going to come hot
After all, this impression of a Manchester United side are a far cry from the Holy Trinity years of Charlton in his pomp, George Best slaloming past defenders and Dennis Law scoring goals for fun hot
The match needed something special, for one final goodbye hot
Step forward Diogo Dalot, who could not have hit the 25-yard winner any hot better, arrowing into the top corner to spark wild scenes of celebration in the away end hot
It was as if he had donned Charlton’s heavy, toe-capped, leather-studded boots in honour of the great man hot
And what was the first song to celebrate a crucial success? Wor, Bobby would have been proud hot
