You’ve had a drink Bolton. Advocaat and lemonade was it? I wholeheartedly agree mate.
Ma homie.
(....Or should that be Ma; homie?)
She’s turned from Huddersfield to Tottenham for the sake of the family. Only a mother would make such a sacrifice.
'Spect! ...Indeed, no-one sees a bigger picture like the Matriarch.
Lozano it is then.
ochhail:
I know... One in dubious shape and struggles to score despite his track record at other teams... I felt sorry for them tbh.
When the whole Mike Dean is a spurs fan thing came up I knew it would come back to haunt us - pretty unprofessional of him to 'compensate'.
Maybe we should ask the FA if we can have the stadium play at RB.
Vinny = GAME OVER.
Cold as ice.... Not often you see such a conclusive statement on a player.

Think this sorts out the Red Card pretty clearly ...
Keith Hackett | Pogba's yellow card saves him from just deserts
Mike Dean went into this match with a reputation for being card happy, having issued nine red cards and 64 yellows in 16 previous matches. This time, he was too cautious. The tally should be 10 red cards following the shocking challenge by Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba on his Tottenham counterpart, Dele Alli.
Pogba’s studs went into the back of Alli’s knee. It was clearly a reckless challenge. The laws demand a red card if a challenge endangers the safety of an opponent. Pogba’s certainly falls into this category, and for Sky pundit Jamie Redknapp to argue that the contact was accidental is stretching credulity.
Dean had a clear view of the incident and has made a mistake by showing only a yellow card. That means that no further action can be taken against the United player.
This is the stupidity of the current system. If football wants to protect employees, it has to have a mechanism whereby the card or punishment can be upgraded. Yet again, we are left bemoaning the absence of the Video Assistant Referee in this circumstance. Its introduction in the Premier League cannot come soon enough.

He is marginally better in second half. Although did make one glaring mistake of a pass.
I think Llorente has looked very fit and useful everytime he gets on for us this season.
Which is why i dont want us to lose him this January.
What did he do to deserve it exactly? Is he being lazy on training?
Cause it looked like he is a nice lad. And this treatment by Poch is not normal.
Maybe he dissent him for going on loan rather than fight for his place.
Well if Harry is out it's simply a no goer that we lose Llorente. With Sonny missing games now, Kane realistically missing for at least a month if damage has been done and Janssen clearly never playing in our shirt again Fernando has become a hugely important part of our team.
I fully expect to see him play a fair amount and for our style to change slightly to accommodate the changes
