This is probably why Dave the squirrel has stopped visiting me.
Still finding his feet back to full Spurs fitness.
I imagine Pochettino and Levy had a quick word with Mike Dean in the tunnel at half time.
Is that one of the self-fastening trainers from back to the future 2?
I was on that stream, he was as usual absolutely dog shit. He was roasting Aurier all match (who I thought was excellent) I nice classic was having just seen Rose put his cross into row z and 20 seconds later Aurier over hit his, he said how much better (a word that he uses approx 100 times in each commentary) Rose would have done. Within a minute Aurier put in a delicious assist for our equaliser. As Aurier headed home for his goal the bus was in full reverse mode telling us all how great he "could be, if only he could cross BETTER".Loathe as I was to abandon the insight of Andy Hinchcliif, my Sky stream conked out in the 2nd half and I switched to an NBC one. Talk about out of the frying pan, the expert summariser was Andy Townsend, who managed one classic Townsendism when we were at 2-1 - "If Spurs can get another goal and take it to 3-1, that will extend their lead comfortably"
Wanker!
Everyone pissing themselves on social media saying we can’t score goals without Kane.. I can’t even be arsed to reply saying our last 13 goals were ALL scored by anyone but Kane..

The characters in our squad are fantastic:
- Heung Min 'always smiling' Son
- Dele, the wind-up merchant extraordinaire
- Harry, the model professional
- Eriksen and his sardonic danish wit
- Erik 'piss boiling, yellow card' Lamela
- Serge 'absolutely fucking insane' Aurier
- Ben 'brains of the operation' Davies
I've said this now for long enough, but Son gets no where near the credit he's due. If he was Brazilian, or Spanish, or even Portuguese he'd be getting his balls sucked left right and centre. Just goes to show that a player like Son, who's scored more than most out and out number 9's in this league, and is only 2 league goals behind Lukaku (which is insane), gets less attention simply because he's Korean.
If Lukaku scored 2 against Bournemouth today, he'd have a 2 hour Radio special dedicated to him.
Just how fucking brilliant Eriksen was today? For me he was our standout MoTM, pulled the strings and without the ball worked his shocks off, lost count of the number of times he won the ball back. Another excellent performance from Dele, tireless pressing, lots of runs pulling defenders away, nice range of passing and always putting a foot in. Another goal, and what a fabulous assist for Son! He is at the heart of every attack.
Thought Sanchez was great too along with Aurier. Son, magical player beautifully quick feet, he has the heart of a lion. Thank fuck he's finally got a song, long, long time over due.
Great subs by Poch today, Lamela coming on swung the game completely in our favour, Bournemouth who always press us to be fair and always give it a go, simply fel away after Lamela's arrival.
On the negative Wanyama just doesn't look fit, actually looks injured and not moving well. With Kane's injury I believe it will not be too bad, it's the same ankle, this is a good thing because his ligaments would allready be stretched from his previous two injuries (It will always be like this), he might be out for a short while but shouldn't be as long as the first injury.
Up the Spurs!

I agree with a back 3 against the <removed>s, but if you're putting Toby/Sanchez/Verts in a back line - why not chuck Moura in the mix to tear up the left flank, and string together some lovely 1-2's with Son?
Thought both him and Dembele were off the pace at times today. Wanyama has looked sluggish and sloppy in possession. That’s been my overall feeling at least.
Still think it’s the end for us and Poch will leave in the summer?
The more highlights I watch, and comments like this I read - starting to regret taking the boy to the Southend vs Doncaster game today. Abysmal 90 minutes of football and no goals scored. At least I was there on someone else's season ticket - not even the £20 father & son deal they do was worth it for the Sunday league level shit we watched. Still, £3.20 for a pint of Stella can't be argued (Southend is the local team by the way lol).
May god have mersey on your soul.
We've got Ferdinand's brother at Left Back. I think I've seen my Nan move quicker when someone opens another till at Morrison's.
The first Southend game I took him to (he's only 7), we were 2-0 down to Walsall at half time, and he was almost in tears lol. Second half we banged in 4 goals, and by the 3rd he was going mental - lovely father son moments. Should have probably told him that it was the best result we'll ever have.
The characters in our squad are fantastic:
Starting to resemble a classic heist movie.
- Heung Min 'always smiling' Son
- Dele, the wind-up merchant extraordinaire
- Harry, the model professional
- Eriksen and his sardonic danish wit
- Erik 'piss boiling, yellow card' Lamela
- Serge 'absolutely fucking insane' Aurier
- Ben 'brains of the operation' Davies
Maury's Heroes.
Bit harsh, in context.
Try and remember this come June, when you start accusing Levy of only buying shit
