Why's everyone talking about Tory Boy?
When you criticise someone on an opinion, normally it's because their opinions are worth listening to in the first place.

People keep posting these fan videos and even if it's on talksport it's still amateur tosh.

I don't care so much what this guy says or a lot of the other youtube self promoters. Or for that matter Gabby Ablonglahor or Cascarino, but even if these two are dribbling at the mouth while they talk, they are at least ex pros.

Going off on one now but.... my wife sends me videos of tiktokers (sp?) with young people giving investing tips.

Who are they? She doesn't know, have they any experience, knowledge or reason why I should listen to them? No

So why the fuck are people watching them?

I tell her to stop sending me them, and now I just ignore them.

But it's the modern world where people give more credence to virgins with a camera in their bedroom talking to themselves than they do to professional media outlets.

I don’t know you, I’ve never met you, you could be an 8 year old boy or a 94 year old woman . Either way, I’d be willing to bet my mortgage that you know more about current football than Gabby Agbonlahor.

Ex pro shmo.

Could be a leader for us as Ange has said, he's 26 now, a father of 3, this is a big move for him, can see him stepping up and leading in this new chapter, not necessarily captain but an important part of a new leadership group perhaps.

even better he's 26, actually i thought he was 28 as well. It feels like he has been around for years, i remember watching him for Norwich and how bloody good he was.

so far he seems to be bringing those good vibes and some energy. Let's hope it translates to others in the group.

Thought he was decent. Some work will need to be done between Harry and Maddison, they were in each other’s way quite a bit. Towards the end of the first half, Maddison started to find space to play as Kane played higher. Curious to see if the next friendlies they improve on that.

ps. Richarlison played more like a Ange striker running in behind, getting on the end of crossed. Hope we see Harry take up similiar positions, as he would have had at least a hattrick if he had had Richy’s chances.

Harry just has to get used to us actually having other players who will create and us being positive. The team has probably had 3 days of training in total since Kane got back. Maddison and Kane will be fire together once it all clicks.

Yep, that’s my point.

An important point. Under the old regime - when Harry - (in his deeper role) - did venture into the opposition's box, there was often no other Spurs player there.
