No, there isn't. Take your dogs out for a shit before they do it all over the kitchen again you presumptuous, lazy slob.No rest for the wicked, eh?
"Poch is green. He does not seem to have a tactical bone in his body. All last season he kept subbing nailed on failures in front of goal like Soldado and Townsend to score goals from the bench? In two seasons they scored enough goals to count on one hand in open play, but they are going to score for us when Kane etc could not right? How many assists does Townsend have? 1 every prem season?
Poch is too slow a learner, and we will stumble along like we did last season as teams pick our obvious soft spots like Lamela, Lennon, Townsend or Eriksen making us weak down the wings making us easy to counter.
I have a feeling the facepalms will be bruising this season. I’m still reeling from early last season, where to “change things” he would take off Lennon and bring on Townsend. Yeah…that will shake things up.
It’s just slightly frustrating to know that Poch will be as glacial to close the final frontier as he was to oust Lennon, Soldado, Townsend co."

"Unfortunately it’s too late for Poch who thinks Danny Rose is the best left back in England. Unfortunately Jan’s face will continue to look like a smacked arse with our paper thin wings demanding too much of our Rollys Royce of a defender.
And one good game from Danny Rose is not going to pull the wool over my eyes when it comes to the soft Spurs problem that has mugged better managers than Poch in the past."

Yeah right.
It was a drunken rant. Another weekend Joe melt after he did another Kane/foot in mouth style where I backed a player and he did the opposite.
Nobody got it because it tied in with his previous anti Dembele posts.
What is so funny about calling Dembele a gutless twat? He said he didn't care what others thought etc. he reiterated his claim twice.
It wasn't an off the cuff Joke.
He just sobered up, saw the torrent of disagrees and backtracked.
Joke??? He ALREADY SAID he kills us. He said he does not put in the tackles etc. this is in line with his anti Dembele attacks.
He watched his opinion go down in flames. Imagine you wrote off Kane, Lamela, Mason's attacking and Dembele? So many goals. Haha.
Suuuch a big joke. Nobody laughed because it was spiteful vitriol aimed at a great servant to the club.
Loads of disagrees to his vomit backs me up.
Just read Chelsea want to make a 40m swoop for Moose and vardy in the summer.
Call it 80 for just moose and we'll talk.
Much will depend on where we finish IMO. Players like Dembele & Lloris are at their peak & want to be challenging for silverware. Quite rightly too. We have a great mix of youth & experience. The younger players will be easier to keep for now. But a big bid for someone like Mousa would turn his head if the interested club was playing in a competition we weren't in (Champions League).I don't think Moose would want to leave us anyway -- aren't Chadli and Verts his best friends or somethin?.Having a Belgian contingent really pays off.
If we manage even 4th place this year I believe the players will see what we are building and not a single one poch wants will even think about leavingMuch will depend on where we finish IMO.

Maintaining this form is crucial & what better way to cement it than by giving the classless ones a drubbing on Sunday? The form some of our lads are in is bound to get other clubs interested. I'm just hoping they all remain engaged with Poch's vision because I genuinely think we are on the verge of something very special.
"But I’ve always felt this is my club". I don't mind admitting I lap this kind of shit up.“Of course, people will speculate when you are not playing. But I’ve always felt this is my club and I just want to prove myself to the team, supporters and everyone that I can play here. I never wanted to run away. I am not the sort of player who runs away. I always show myself and I always felt I could do something here.”
Spurs news: Mousa Dembele says he and his young team-mates have grown into men now
Been consistenyl playing since day 1 this seasonPains me to ask - but would Dembele have gotten this golden chance if Chadli / Bentaleb didn't get injured?
probably not, I personally don't think Chadli suits our style of play anymore, out of all our midfield and attack I'd say he puts in the less effortPains me to ask - but would Dembele have gotten this golden chance if Chadli / Bentaleb didn't get injured?
It's football though, how would Bale's career have turned out if BAE didn't get injured when he did?Pains me to ask - but would Dembele have gotten this golden chance if Chadli / Bentaleb didn't get injured?
Cool story, broIt's football though, how would Bale's career have turned out if BAE didn't get injured when he did?
He's a clogger and a dead-endprobably not, I personally don't think Chadli suits our style of play anymore, out of all our midfield and attack I'd say he puts in the less effort
