He didn't really get going until 15/16. Mason/Bentaleb very much first choice in 14/15 - he always looked lumbering in comparison when he came in, given how ferocious our press was. People do forget the slow start.
Wrote about this overblown narrative 16 years ago 😀 When 'WFH' wasn't even an acronym...

Alan Smith's GO ON as West Ham went through a reminder of Andy Gray's OH NO when Stalteri scored the winner in the 4-3 at Upton Park.
And singing Avicii to boot 🤣
Excellent piece this - amid all the fears about teens and social media, large swathes of older generations have been radicalised. Some sad stories here, but some hopeful ones too.

Haha 18 now. Wasn't the sort of place you whip your phone out and take pics but he was very polite. And not smoking cigars like a couple of the others...
Was in a bar in Marbella this evening, full Rangers team there on a mid-season break. Spoke to Mikey Moore.
A) he's not 'coming back next week' as I asked 🤪
B) definitely 'back in the summer'
C) hopes 'Spurs stay up'. Clearly locked in to Rangers for the season
Think two things are true - England were arguably right to move on to allow the next wave of pace bowlers to come through; but Jimmy could have still done a job at the highest level for a while longer. Absolutely love the fact he's still committed to the domestic game, top man
An awful day for Tottenham... but a great day for democracy with Orban's defeat.
A toast from Venice where we've had a magical weekend and nowhere had Sky Sports thankfully
The world is going to shit but seeing people crying watching Fred Again and Thomas Bangalter at Ally Pally (full set now on YouTube) is a real heart warmer. Music heals.
Massive fan of Villa displaying the formation in their line-up graphic.
Team XI in squad number order is one of the biggest crimes going
Ice cream firm
Shades of bloody William Gallas with that strike. Some hit. But a positive display in the wake of recent results. Big shift from everyone #coys
Frustrating to go in behind, defended well in the main. Not sure 4-4-2 is working though - Olivia on for Tinka (especially given the booking) and add a body to the middle #coys
Another nonsense - 'he got his shot off so it can't be a pen' in the West Ham Leeds game. He was clattered and had to go off FFS. One of the worst unofficial rules in the game, this
I added an All Saints song to a shared Spotify jam at a house party this evening.
Regrets? Never ever
Incredible decision that. I mean, miss the hair pull sure, but the foul?!
Katie McCabe getting away with a blatant tug of opponent's hair.
Incredible decision at Chelsea tonight - Katie McCabe is the Joelinton of women's football.... (pic courtesy of @theathleticfc.bsky.social)
Plenty of those no doubt but the majority of my Spurs WhatsApp groups are anti the move and there are a range of general views on those. I'm always wary of thinking online commenters reflect any sort of majority
Do wonder if it's because Bluesky is the only social platform that doesn't monetise views so we can all just be honest and not care about 'engagement'. No doubt some of the people on Twitter/YouTube believe what they say but the angry ones always get amplified.
Another thoroughly depressing day to be a Tottenham fan. How they have managed to suck every single iota of joy from Bilbao away and battered us into submission on a daily basis is beyond belief.
Spurs on tour in Valencia #coys
Gutted for Brennan, he's still fully COYS as far as I'm concerned. Almost had a wonderful last minute assist as well. Fine lines

100%. Constant flip flopping.
At one time, Tottenham did have a data advantage - with an actual investment in one of the pioneers in the space - and employed Michael Edwards and Ian Graham. But when Levy got rid of Comolli, Harry Redknapp was having none of it and we moved away from being data-led. Recommend Rory Smith's book
Also laughed. The one on the Arsenal stadium tour ad? Very well played that.
Tell us it's the fans' fault again eh
Sanchez has gotta do Beto than that
Won on xG, won the second half... take out City's cheat code and we get a point! (Yes game state etc etc but good character after the break)
