Sorry, I don't even know what a fap is, let alone why Son seems to be entering a fap zone with two other guys.

Lets just say theres a reason he's not married

In the starting line-up today:

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Sonny strapped on that right knee, hope he is not taking risks in a friendly.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

S Korea just scored , not Sonny but the Sonny fans club is there , a few AIA Spurs shirts in the crowd.

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

Sonny taken off after 90 minutes , looking good for Saturday.

Glad he didn’t have to play the whole match.

 

[Marty]

What sort of ridiculousness is this? Did the Saudis buy the ref as well as the stadium?

 

[SirHarryHotspur]

He missed a whole 5 minutes , so he should be really sharp against Sheff Utd, you think that Klinnsman would show a bit more concern.

A sneak preview of what's to come if they're also able to purchase a CL slot or two in the next decade

 

[noggen]

What a shocker.. the ref is English (Andrew Madley).. he probably hates Spurs.

 

[olliec]

Ok what the hell is going on. That is one of the worse decisions I’ve ever witnessed, and even specsavers got involved.

That ref should be utterly humiliated with that decision. Bloke shouldn't be allowed near a PL game after that BS.

Take it VAR is also owned by the Saudis?

Guess it's no VAR in a friendly. I'm not sure it's VAR in the qualifiers either.

It's like trying to get a penalty against United or LiVARpool no chance lol

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

Disgraceful decision - someone check that mans bank account.

this is why you need to have refs explain their decisions, it is only a friendly but imagine WC qualification was at stake.

We had VAR in our friendly v Scotland and it's a Premier League ground. But I guess each friendly is different. VAR or not that's as blatant a penalty as you will likely ever see.

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Hmm a decision like that favouring the Saudi’s when they play at St James Park. Not suspicious at all…

 

[GMI]

Cuti and Royal trolling Son and his latest instagram post modelling Calvin Klein.

From BBC

Most Premier League goals since 2020-21 - all stats excluding penalties.

Goals xG Shots Goals - xG
Harry Kane 57 49.4 386 +7.1
Mohamed Salah 53 52.8 387 +0.2
Son Heung-min 52 36.5 244 +15.5

While Haaland's numbers are obviously the same since he only joined last summer, he has already played enough football to show that he is a statistical freak and anomaly, outscoring his already-outstanding xG numbers by 8 goals so far (34 non-penalty goals from an xG of 26.1).

Outside of the recent arrival of Haaland, Tottenham's Son Heung-min has arguably been the best finisher in the Premier League over the last few seasons.

As both the chart and the table here show, Son has scored at around the rate of Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah despite getting far fewer chances, netting 15 more goals than expected since the start of 2020-21 - beating all other players in that regard.
