    It does highlight what absolute rubbish the red tops try and cling on to, to make a story

    Paul Merson's take on Dele Alli's baffling omission from the POTY list: “If he was in the main one, he wasn’t winning it anyway, so he is better off being in the young one.”

    In his next column he'll be telling 99% of the people signed up for the London Marathon they won't be winning it so there's no point in them showing up at the starting line, that's how monumentally dense his argument is.

    We are talking about an ex-drunk with a gambling addiction right? How ironic!

    Ex-drunk? based on his rambling nonsense, I thought he'd been on the Bloody Marys since he woke up...

    Today has seen a glut of ridiculous 'rumours' -

    Mauricio Pochettino to go to Seville next season

    Eric Dier to be sold to United to fund the purchase of Michael Keane

    Toby Alderweireld rejecting a new contract to sign for Inter Milan....With Kyle Walker.

    I'm waiting for the Dele Alli to Villa story to resurface.

    Timing is essential to good comedy. On the day that Matt Law of The Daily Telegraph published the 'Eric Dier to United' rumour again based upon our lad's dissatisfaction with playing in a back 3, the man himself has said on the Spurs site:

    "I find it easy to adapt and I enjoy it - I think it makes me a much better footballer."

    Timing..... It's all in the timing.

    Pochettino is just not good media material.
    No on/off pitch antics. No antagonistic relationship with the media.
    Combine that with the usual Narrative (TM) , and everything is meh.

    Which is just how I like it.
    He is paid to attempt to help the club I support achieve on-pitch success, not
    to sell newspapers or spawn myriad Internet click-baits by his words/actions.

    This week's big lie has been the imminent departure of Toby Alderweireld. Some have chosen to ignore the fact that his contract contains a term limiting his value that only becomes active in 2019 if we offer him a 1year extension. He has been sold off to every club with a few quid and a hole where their centre of defence should be.

    Today, Toby is quoted in The Standard saying -

    "With this team and the people working for it, we will get a trophy 100%. If it is this season, it will be the next one......I am very pleased with how things are going now. It is an honour to play for Tottenham. I am very pleased to do so."

    Yes, he's definitely off to Inter Milan.

    Hats off to Sean Dyche. In his press conference today, be addressed made up rubbish.....Sorry, press rumours concerning the alleged departure of Michael Keane.

    "I got told via a TV screen that he will be leaving. That's news to me...... I'm always a good source, as manager. I'm pretty reliable as well."

    Good man!

    Exactly my feelings. The same crime done for "terrorist" motives is somehow worse. Actually read more newsworthy and important (because a collusion of media and politicians tells us it is). It seems to me that if I get stabbed to death by a terrorist or some care in the community type, the result for me, my wife and son is exactly the same. (And the government could probably save more people by financing social care properly than spending it on anti-terrorism!)

    I wonder what's going on with his surname? Sergej W?
    Are they concealing his identity, for some reason, or is it actually just W?
    The latter seems extremely unlikely.

    From the BBC live feed...

    Llorente puts Stoke ahead
    Swansea City 1-0 Stoke City

    Posted at15:12
    Sigurdsson cross, Llorente goal.


    It was a 50/50 chance, and they still got it wrong!

    And they won't give a crap. Virtually nobody that read that story will see this.

    The club really should back the Merseyside clubs and ban it, too.
    Won't have much of an affect, but they shouldn't be able to keep pulling this ****.
    They clearly think very little of football fans and those involved in the game, so the feeling should be returned and amplified.
