You probably need to get out more then.
I've gargled more intelligent testicles than Paul Merson.Paul Merson on the game this weekend;
"It's a big game for Tottenham though. If they don't win I look at Eriksen, Alli, the centre-backs and Harry Kane and I think they will move on at the end of the season."
Problems will come for Tottenham, new stadium or not. They cannot keep paying players so much less than their rivals. Walker will not be the only key player to see opportunities elsewhere. Pochettino, too, may be lured away. It’s still not entirely clear how much the move to a new stadium will restrict finances.
Surely, the new stadium will have next-to-no affect on our player purchases. I hate all the 'net spend' debate we frequently see around here, but in this instant it's appropriate as we already function well within our means at a very low net spend. So moving into the new stadium will not hurt us as much as other teams.
In fact, won't it be easier to give bigger wages and to keep the players we want under our current structure.

Some more comedy from the gold standard of Sky punditry. We are going to financially cripple ourselves and get relegated
"I've seen it too often with Spurs, they fail to turn up in big games, maybe going back 20 years," said Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher last season. "Is it a belief thing? Is it a mentality thing, ingrained in the club? If that doesn't change, they are going to become like Leeds. Fantastic Leeds, got to the semi-final of the European Cup - so what? They didn't win anything."

What is this BS meme with all the crap pundits...it’s not even true...Leeds won the bloody league in that period
They won in 92, but the big spending and CL semi period they refer to was ca. 2001.What is this BS meme with all the crap pundits...it’s not even true...Leeds won the bloody league in that period
What are the feckers gonna say about tonight?
Lineker with the obligatory “feeder club” and “must win something.”
Thankfully both Ferdinand and Lampard basically ignored him and praised how far we’ve progressed.
Agreed with what Ferdinand said about the one type of player we are still missing. A Hazard/Mahrez type.
