It was lovely, but do you reckon he actually meant to do it, or it was more a case of 'hoof it anywhere upfield'?

Looks like he definitely looked up and saw Eriksen to me.
Will watch it in HD soon and see if you're right. Hope so.
Just a shame we couldn't capitalise on the break (though the 4 vs 1 situation was far more frustrating).
Makes me miss Huddlestone and Lennon so much more. Thudd was one of my favorites from those years, really loved the guy and it was a sad day when he left - even if it were for the best. Bale's celebration very early on in his Spurs time there at the beginning brings on the warm-n-fuzzies as well.
A very exciting time to be Spurs, and dare I say before success made us so often miserable? I understand it's all part of pushing on for better things regarding silverware, the standards have to be higher. But then we were an exciting football team, that was top drawer and could beat anyone on our day - but if it didn't come off no one really got the hump, we were just Spurs playing beautiful football and having a laugh.

Kane has scored 36 goals in 2017, more than West Ham have managed collectively as well as eight other Premier League sides.
His incredible frenzy means he has the best goal-to-game ratio of any of Europe’s top scorers in the big five leagues, including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 24-year-old’s Premier League tally currently stands at 84 goals in 123 Premier League games. That leaves him the joint-40th top scorer in the competition’s history, level with Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.
However, at 0.69 goals per game, Kane’s ratio betters both Ronaldo (0.43) and Tevez (0.42).
Shearer, meanwhile, plundered 260 goals in 441 appearances for Blackburn and Newcastle at a rate of 0.59 goals per game, but he started playing before the advent of the Premier League and also suffered a few serious injuries which restricted his total tally.
With that in mind, we’ve done the maths to calculate how long it will take Kane to catch Shearer if he continues his current rate of scoring, obviously on the basis that he stays injury-free and in the Premier League.
Harry Kane: Landmarks in sight
– To draw level with Matt Le Tissier on 100 goals, it will take Kane another 22 games – which means he could achieve that feat this season.
– To break into the top 20 Premier League goalscorers and overtake Emile Heskey, who scored 110 goals, it will take Kane 38 games – a figure he could achieve by early next term.
– To break into the top 10, overtaking former Tottenham favourite Teddy Sheringham, who scored 146 goals, it will take Kane 90 games – less than three seasons.
– To break into top 5, overtaking Thierry Henry, who scored 175 goals for Woolwich, it will take Kane 132 games – approximately 3.5 seasons.
– To become the Premier League’s all-time top scorer, overtaking 260 goals Alan Shearer, it will take Kane 272.5 games – around 7.2 seasons, which takes us to 2024-5, when Kane will still only be 31 years of age.
Kane would certainly be able to count himself fortunate if he were to remain so prolific while avoiding injuries – while European giants would be sure to be alerted if he did – but the fact he could break the record by the age of 31 puts into perspective just how impressive his goalscoring has been these past few seasons.
Of course, even if he does catch Shearer on the list, the former England captain will rightly point to the fact he scored a further 23 before the First Division became the Premier League. In other words, there’s still a hell of a long way to go.
There isn't a single possible scenario in the press' minds where we could have good players who are also happy at the club.
One pass wonder.
Wages or new challenge
Yup, not exactly rocket science to figure out how that's going to work.
Day before: "World Class Kane Frustrated By Lack of Silverware"
Day after: "Trophy Winner Kane Frustrated By Poor Wages"
Followed by “Spurs’ minted Premier League hero frustrated by poor cheese selection at new stadium”
ochhail:
“He was excited by Totti’s farewell in Rome, that generated special motivation,” he said. “He was so emotional when he saw the last game of Totti for Roma, because he only played in one club. He was very emotional. Maybe Harry Kane can have the same career as Totti.” - Poch
Moist.
Moist.
The 'is Kane world class?' discussion was a way of getting in early in that regard.
We could win the league, win the FA cup, increase wages, move into the best stadium in the country... and they'd still insist that Kane 'can only reach the top if he plays for Barca or Real'.
Meanwhile, every sports discussion always seems eager to hype up Woolwich finally spending big on a player to show they're 'serious'. Asking IF not WHEN Sanchez and Ozil will be off.
It's heartwarming to know that as long as Harry is content with us we will always have that extra chance with him.
I'm all for him becoming our Totti
