He's been my player of the season.
that's because he was chasing his little girl all around the pitch and she kept getting awayJust voted him as Player of the Year, great to see him nominated along with Dele and Poch (yeah, I voted Eriksen for Club, deal with it). Immaculate this year! Last man of the pitch yesterday by a long way, big grin on his face too!
That's no way to speak of Rooneythat's because he was chasing his little girl all around the pitch and she kept getting away
Never always been a fan of his attitude tbh but he has been fantastic this season, so aggressive at going forward and has been better than Toby this year imo.
Super Jan!
Super Jan!
Still think Toby is the mainstay of our defence, I'm much more nervous if I see his name missing from the team sheet.
Jan has been great, but I think the fact we've been solid at the back has given Jan the freedom to make his runs forward which garner more attention
He was a lot more 'stay-at-home' last year... I think Toby shoring us up last season, has allowed him/Poch to push on to play to the more natural balance of his game this year; looking better in both aspects as a result.
I think it's unquestionable that Toby's arrival has brought out the absolute best in Jan. At this point he seems drastically happier & more committed than he has since he arrived.
(A few question marks when Toby was first out - I'm thinking cup games - in which there were echoes some of his previously slightly dubious attitude, but absolute credit to him, he steadied himself; stepped up and he's been immense ever since!)
For me, I see Vertonghen as the beginning of the current team we have now, the start of that era.
When your team has their best ever Premier League finish, you just won 6-1 and 7-1 and your homeboy Harry snatched the Golden Boot from Lukaku.
But you'd trade it all for that goal. That one goddamn goal you've been hankering for months after.

At least I assume that's what Sky Sports will run with.
I just want to add my gratitude and praise for a magnificient season. I have never felt confident before games, as have had so many hopes dashed over the years, but even I was expecting to win most games, especially at home.
I thought last year was the best we were going to be, as the 'big' teams were not going to mess up two seasons running. However, Poch and the boys put that theory to bed, by playing some of the sexiest football I have had the pleasure to witness (yes even in the Ginola and Bale days), because it came from all over the park from all the players. I have seen some great players at Spurs in the last 50 years, but this is definitely the best team I have seen.
I love the relationship that Poch has with the players and vice versa. Poch is the real deal and we should give him anything he asks for - don't think he would be unreasonable in his requests either, his requirements would always be for the best of the club.
It was sad to say goodbye to the Lane, but boy, didn't we do the old place proud in our last season there.
Now all we have to do is keep the team together and use this season as a big stepping stone to bigger things next season.

Lloris is probably pissy with him still as well.
This had crossed my mind too...
oops, this is supposed to be in the 'What a Season' stream ....... thought it was strange I was getting likes in Jan's bit
