Your username well and truly checks out you cretin cunt.
Because he’s the best centre half in Europe. Those fa cup games against nobody teams hardly get the juices going, and a meaningless friendly for Belgium. A player like Toby thrives and plays best in the biggest games. Plus he’s a leader. Without harry on the pitch on Sunday we need leaders.
So having the French captain, One of the Belgian captains, one of the England captains and the captain of Kenya on the field signals a lack of leadership on the field?
I get what you are getting at but if it is one thing we do not lack it is leaders on the pitch
Easy on the Goat Spud , he bites !!!!
But have we got any meaningful leaders?
Someone who is shouty and gets in people’s faces
A Dave Mackay or Graham Roberts or Steve Perryman
I really don’t think we’ve got anyone
I love all that kind of thing personally but it’s a bit old school, you are dealing with millennial millionaires who have been told they are special since they were 8 years old, nobody cleans boots anymore
Good leadership is how Pochettino plays it who is more the big brother than the harsh father figure that may have worked for a Cloughie in the 70s and 80s when the squad full of what used to constitute a mans man
Maybe, but rather be a cretin cunt than come up with the sort of post I've called you out on, you Woolwich fanboy cunt.
I’m in a similar situation. My daughter is visiting from uni, and my missus is planning some sort of big home cooked meal involving her kids, her ma, me & my daughter.
It’s a complete fuck up that will require some very careful navigation. I may have to pop out for some Bisto (having strategically planted the full packet at the bottoms of the bin)
Not many shops open Easter Sunday...could be out a while
Thank fuck. If Spurs is smack then England is a fucking shite methadone.
This is the fun bit where we're actually excited... but come Sunday morning I'll be a

:lamelashock:
Yes I agree that a lot of them are overpaid prima donnas so all the more reason to have a leader who would put the fear of god in them
I also agree that Poch is a good leader but we need one on the pitch too
Cloughie wasn’t the harsh manager he was made out to be
He could fulfill that role but he also could be one of the boys
I remember a story about him bringing a tray full of glasses of wine to his team in the changing rooms just before a cup final against The Dippers
Brilliant man manager and should have been England manager but that’s another story!

ok, I'll help a fellow yid out and let you know my backup plan:
You pop out for some Milk (or Bisto, in your case) and phone up ten minutes later to say the local corner shop is out so you're going further afield to get it. Then you call her 20 minutes later to say the car's broken down. RAC/AA are on their way but as you're a grown man and it's Easter they won't be able to reach you for just over an hour. After an hour, call home again and say the breakdown service still aren't there and you've been told it'll be another 45 minutes or so. Time it just right and you'll get to see the whole game. Turn up back home after the match and explain that the car's fine, it just needed an inexpensive part replacing which the guy had in his breakdown van. It's all sorted. The part cost whatever you spend on a drink and some food. If Chelsea beat us then you'll look fed up so she'll believe the whole thing. If we win then you'll have to work hard to hide your glee. Good luck.
What is the Premier League derby metric?
London derbies v palace, West Ham, woolwich and Chelski.
He's not the best CB in Europe. He's an excellent CB, but for him to be the best CB in Europe he has to play, would you have him for a contender as best player this year? You are judging him from one season, his first season with us. He was never spoken in those terms before joining us, his first season with us was unbelievable and rightly not just Spurs fans were rich with praise but he was then injured for much of his 2nd season and IMO Vertonghen was better than him last year anyway. This year he's been injured for an even longer period but for the 2nd year running Vertonghen has out performed him (when comparing the performances).
What has Toby done specifically that says he's a leader, captained this team before? Nope. Captained his Country before? Nope. A good player doesn't mean he's a leader. This leader you speak of is deliberately leaking information out to the press (nothing on Rose levels of traitorous nature, but not exactly worthy of a leader).
All that said and done he's not playing well. If he's not playing well he doesn't deserve to play. I don't care for reputation and what he's done in the past, today, right at this moment in time he simply isn't good enough to start, he doesn't make the side because others in his position are currently playing better than him. I have sympathy for a player who's been out injured for a long period of time because it takes time to get fitness and confidence back up without playing games, it's a double edge sword but you absolutely don't play him in such a game as Sunday's unless a) we have no choice through injury or sickness to another player b) in the vague hope he might come good, if he needs minutes then those can be achieved in other games but even then, if he wants out why would you play a player who's not fighting for them team, doesn't want to be in the team, his only aim is for personal gain and world cup selection, not for Tottenham Hotspur. I'd select the man that wants to play for his team over a man who wants to play for himself.
