Would like to watch it, but don't have access to Spursplay, anyone know if it's uploaded somewhere?

I am pretty confident you could ask spurs fans on any platform anywhere and you'd find the majority do not want Dier to be in the Tottenham squad.
Why didn’t you say that in the beginning? That’s an adult way of putting it….

It's funny when I explain why in a long post how Dier is a bad player like on the last page people ignore it.

They just cite the fact, our managers no best, he has played some games for england and is better than the rest of the population as to why you can't criticize him.

Who said you can't criticise him?

People had a problem with you insulting him, not criticising him.

Mate, someone calling him a very poor player could be classed as an insult.

No need to over-police people’s opinions on here.

Opinion turned into obsession 🤣

Calling someone a shit player is different to calling them a poor one. You're grasping at straws a bit now.

And he's free to have any opinion he likes. Others are free to disagree with him and criticise him for it.

I thought that you were pro-criticism anyway?

How did I insult him?

"The fans all hate him because he's a shit player" is probably something most people would consider insulting.

This entire last few pages should be a salutory lesson for you that if you want people to listen to your opinions, try moderating your language in a way which is respectful to both your subject and your audience.

I'm happy to listen to your criticisms of why you don't think Dier is good enough to play for Spurs. I might disagree and offer some counter arguments of my own. But I'll happily engage when the discourse is respectful.

I have absolutely zero time for you coming on here and declaring your opinions to be unarguable facts, using insulting language and essentially making a load of stuff up. That kind of nonsense doesn't deserve our time. As @Archibald&Crooks said, this isn't Twitter, we've been around a long time now, and reasoned debate is what's appreciated, not shouting into the void.

Nah, when you paid thousands of pounds to watch players like Eric Dier shit up your team on a weekly basis you don't feel like moderating your language.

In reality though saying he's a shit footballer is hardly the worst thing, i've gone into more detail explaining why his technical aspects are not up to scruff but nobody wants to read that. They just want to respond to the idea hes bad with 'OMG he's been loyal for years, i mean nobody has wanted to buy him but hes been so loyal, hes a good guy who doesn't fall out of nightclubs, he play for England a bunch when they were terrible and yes he just like so reasonable, Son was bad too, lets try to coach him up'

He is a bad player, hes been bad for quite a while. You pay 1k a year to watch him fuck around it's upsetting. I have no problem with people getting upset with him online or at games, you play for a big team and you underperform it's what's gonna happen.

I just assume its because its summer, far from first xi games and there is some Ange optimism going around that people are allowing the idea that Dier being in the squad is a good thing but it isn't.

So much positivity at the club though folk get bogged down in this shit!
He is limited by his ability. We had no one else and he had a shit season too.
Going forward we don't have to rely on him and so happy if he stays as a squad player.
