Must've gone to Fishpools...it's the only reason I can think of going to Waltham Cross

Fucking hell that takes me back, whenever my mum went shopping there she made me keep my hands in my pockets because literally everything in there was glass, breakable, and pretty expensive !

October 1st 2015. A day that will long go down in infamy when a young inexperienced...okay actually over 30 year old....TSH spoke thusly...

Think that's a bit Spurs-tinted-specs there. I reckon Grealish and Alli are as promising as each other at this stage.

I will be speaking to my PR representatives about how to manage this.

I think at the moment I'm going with I was hacked...by bad...ummmm...hackers.

Believe me I wish I'd been caught punching an innocent Asian doctor in the face for no reason.

That seems like nothing compared to my faux pas.

Don't know what tweets you're talking about, but I remember before I knew who Alli was, seeing pics of Winks and Alli together when they were away with England, and Alli said something about Winks and I think Winks retweeted it. Was positive. I spoke to someone from Winks' family and they were close

Tottenham's Dele Alli the best young player in Europe - Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino hailed Dele Alli as the best young player in Europe after Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 win over Watford on Saturday and described the midfielder as like a "son."

Alli, who turns 21 on Tuesday, scored a stunning opener in Tottenham's win at White Hart Lane, taking him to 16 Premier League goals for the campaign and 19 in all competitions.

The England international has now been involved in 40 Premier League goals since joining Spurs from MK Dons -- the same number that Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham had managed combined before their 21st birthdays. Cristiano Ronaldo had been involved in 25 -- 14 goals and 11 assists -- by the time he turned 21.

Informed of the comparisons, Tottenham manager Pochettino told reporters: "Wow. That's unbelievable. He's green but he's great. First of all, he's a great kid, a lovely, lovely person. And then he is a great player."

Asked if Alli is the best young player in Europe, Pochettino said: "I think today, his age and with his stats, I think so. If not he's the best, he's one of the best for sure.

"He is so young, he can improve a lot, learn a lot, his potential is massive. Every day he's improving, and getting more mature. He's improving in his skills but in his character as well.

"He's special. He's different from all the players who play now at his age. He's so experienced. His energy, his character, his quality. He is a unique player."

Alli's temperamental character remains the only question mark about his game but he has responded superbly to the first red card of his career against Gent in February, scoring in six of the seven matches since.

After the 2-2 draw at Wembley, which saw Spurs exit the Europa League, Pochettino defended Alli, and he said his decision has since been justified by the player.

"People criticised me for different reasons, tried to 'kill' me and him, but time has shown we were right to support him, to give him love because he is so young," he said. "His character is perfect for a player; when you feel that to lose on the pitch is like losing your life.

"Of course he is young and needs to improve, but he needs love, not to be punched or punished. I am so happy for him because I knew the relationship from day one was tough. It was friendly, lovely, but tough too because it's like when you have your son, you love him, but sometimes you have to be tough."

Pochettino also praised Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy for his part in turning the club into title contenders.

"We had a difficult relationship at the start but we built a strong one," Pochettino said of Levy. "He deserves a lot of credit. Tottenham are growing up and if I am doing well, it is because he believed in me and brought me here."

Dele Alli goalscoring record “ensures long-lasting bitterness for Liverpool”


Liverpool will regret pulling out of a deal to sign Dele Alli from MK Dons “every single minute of every single day”, according to Mark Lawrenson.
Alli completed his move to Tottenham from MK Dons in February 2015 for just £5 million and since then the midfielder has developed into one of the most talent young players in Europe.

The 2016 PFA Young Player of the Year has once again excelled this season with the 20-year-old already netting 16 Premier League goals, helping Spurs to second in the league.

Liverpool were set to sign Alli before Tottenham had even made MK Dons aware of their interest but opted to pull out of the deal due to the transfer fee, a decision that former Reds’ star Lawrenson says is the source of much pain at Anfield.

Lawrenson told You-are-the-ref.com: “He was going to Liverpool. It was absolutely all done and sorted but Liverpool had a change of heart the next day.

“It was a change a heart over money rather than the actual boy. They are regretting it every single minute of every single day.

“He’s a player isn’t he, as in he’s one of those lucky lads who can be anything that he wants to be but he also has that little bit of edge about him.”

Lawrenson has also revealed that even a couple of Spurs officials weren’t convinced by Alli when it came to signing him.

The BBC pundit added: “The other thing as well is Tottenham have a transfer committee and I know one of the guys on it. When they went to buy him only three of the five said yes. When I say only of course only three was enough.”

Alli, who turned 21-year-old this week, is expected to continue his development and become an even more essential player for England during his career.

Hasn't Dele said he turned Liverpool down as he didn't think he was ready to move?
