I wasn't sold on Harry Kane either to be fair

betting on your team to lose is next level though. i dont think you can trust someone whos done that. i personally couldnt give a fuck about him gambling on professional games of football even though thats not allowed, but to bet on yourself to lose is different.
I don't think so. I respect your opinion, but I know Spurs fans who bet on Spurs to lose for emotional insurance. It doesn't make them any less of a fan if they think they are going to lose and put money on the other team. You could put a fiver on Woolwich as the favourites against us at the Emirates and still want us to win, and not mind losing the five pounds if we got a win or a draw there.
I don't think he bet when he was playing.
i put money on spurs to lose big games sometimes. but thats completely different. hes involved in the game, subconsciously he knows that losing will financially reward him and hes out there running about, its completely different to a fan doing it.
I haven't seen any evidence to suggest he was in a game he was betting on. In other words, he did exactly the same as you.
well thats what another poster said anyway. you would think that betting on your team to lose in a game you are actually playing in would result in a seriously long ban if not life.
"The commission found that 29 bets related to the club Toney was registered with or on loan with at the time. These included 13 bets on his own club to lose, although Toney was not involved in those games."
oh fair enough, yea i couldnt give a fuck about that lol
wow people really see what they want to see.
I thought he did, he didnt bet on his Teams to lose though, he bet on things like himself to be first Goal Scorer which is pretty selfish to the team and fans.
no thanks on Ivan Toney but it's never going to happen anyway. Levy won't pay 60m plus on a player approaching 28 and Brentford are cunts that will ask us for a high figure before bending over for gooner scum.
he bet on his teams to lose (but he wasn't involved in game).
And he also bet on himself to be first goal scorer in games he was involved in, any how even if it wasnt for the betting I wouldnt want him here.
Except he’s employed by the club and has very clear inside information.
We press from the front, the only thing Toney ever pressed was his trousers for his court case
yep. i thought PEH did well when he came on. as he has every time hes came on this season. he sucks the oppo into a false sense of security before playing forward, hes different to the main 3 that start.
if he does want off then good luck to him hes good enough to be starting week in week out for a big club, if he does stay then im even happier, hes a great player to have come off the bench. offers something different to the rest of our midfielders.
Toney is a genuine number 9 that only needs half a chance to convert. Imagine the number of goals he can score with Maddison and Porro feeding him through -balls and crosses.
"Everyone needs to press" is a myth, BJ was clearly doing no pressing against Woolwich and that seemed to be the game plan for him to focus on bursting forward
Toney wouldn’t have scored some of the goals that Son has already this season.
Nowhere near as clinical as Son. Better hold up and trad #9 play though.
Need to watch back but remember BJ pressing plenty.
