Thank you Harry for the last 5 years but it is now time to think of yourself and your career. You have carried the club and now it is time for personal glory. Daniel Levy you are a fucking disgrace you have under invested for at least 5 seasons before this one. The Game Is about how much money ENIC can squeeze out of us THE GAME IS ABOUT GLORY is probably the biggest piss take ever,
As a neutral, it's not my place to agree or disagree with this, but I gave it a like because I sympathise with the sentiment behind it.
The fact that some (small!) segments of the Spurs fanbase turned on Kane towards the end of last season was just disgusting to watch (at its height, it made me want to see him leave, before I realised that most supporters still backed him).
This is a world class striker who has scored more than a third of his club's goals for several seasons, won more points for his team than any other player in the league during multiple seasons, carried the team on his back on countless occasions and for sometimes long stretches, and still, to this day, comes up clutch for his team in key moments. His scoring record and records are fucking outrageous for someone playing for two teams (Spurs and England) that are "just" very good rather than elite.
Well, I don't need to explain to you lads of all people what Kane has achieved individually and for Spurs (and my beloved England). After at least half a dozen transfer windows where he could've gone anywhere he wanted, every fan should be on their knees in gratitude that Kane has stuck around (I know I'm so grateful that he plays for England and shows the passion he does!).
I know you're talking about Levy and ENIC - the corporate class - but I can't comment on that stuff and I feel like it's an analogy for the way some fans treated him last year. That's why I know how you feel. I get the sentiment "Kane deserves better than this", only for me it was "Kane deserves better than to play for a club where he's underappreciated for his rare degree of loyalty and tolerance and where fans have the audacity to say that the team would be better off without him".
I'm not annoyed much these days. This season and the end of last season have largely provided a reality check for the anti-Kane segments of the fanbase. I haven't updated my numbers yet but the last time I did, Spurs had the results record of a solidly bottom-half team going back well over 20 games without Kane. I'm mostly happy that he's at Spurs; I can always rely on a Spurs supporter to show up and back me whenever I'm in some ridiculous argument with a clueless cunt who genuinely believes that Kane is a penalty merchant[1] or that he hasn't had an impact on big games.
[1] I must confess that even as someone who always watches him, I sometimes feel like he scores quite a lot of penalties. Maybe I've internalised some of the bullshit I've seen. It turns out that he's objectively not a penalty merchant at all. I'm always slightly surprised when I see that only something like 10% of his career goals are penalties (and it's not like he hasn't won a fair share of those himself). And also, what's wrong with being an excellent penalty taker in the first place? With Kane at the helm, we won our first ever WC penalty shootout to take us two games deeper into the cup than we otherwise would've gone. It's a vital skill at international level! And players score goals that are much easier finishes than penalties every weekend so why should pens have a unique asterisk against them? It's a nonsense criticism even if you partially agree with the basic premise that Kane scores a lot of them.
