Danny Murphy has a column in the Standard where he writes that you "can't blame Kyle Walker for wanting to double his £70,000 per week salary as this will set him and his family up for life". Kyle Walker has been at spurs for around 5 years so (if I take a low estimate of his average earnings over these years of £30,000 per week) he would already have earned : £1,560,000 per year making it a total of £7.8m so far. This is WITHOUT any sponsrship deals etc. The Standard claim he is earning £70,000 per week which means he will get £3,640,000 per year over 5 years making a total of £18, 200, 000. So that means he would have earned £26m without sponsorship being taken into acount over approx 10 yrs. So my question to the Danny Murphy's of this world I would like to know how much more does he need to "set himself and his family up for life"? Doubling my salary of £18,000 per year will massively improve my families standard of living. To pretend that is true of doubling a multimillionaires salary is plainly stupid. IF Walker has had his head turned by money then it just shows that he is a mercenary like so many others...but no one knows yet so the press frenzy is bizarre in it's insistence of knowing everything while providing no facts.
...and in celebrating his goal, he runs across the field to Poch and jumps on him, legs around Poch's waist, punching the air, as Poch kisses him, before the rest of the lads arrive, and everyone bundles to the turf, Poch and Walks at the bottom of the pile! He's a ****ing little magician, that lad! Kiss the badge, son! You deserve it.
Walker starts this evening I think we all know what needs to happen to this Narrative... please log in to view this image
If he becomes the first player in football history to be sent off for teabagging a journalist during a game it'd almost be worth it. Almost...
Writing in her Sun column, Karrunt Brady says she doubts Spurs will give Toby Alderweireld a huge pay raise. It's almost as if she understands that her column played a large part in Payet sacking off the club in January, but she cannot quite grasp the exact reason that Payet left is that one of the club's directors publicly stated that they believed nobody thought a major bid will come in for him - and the last time I checked, none of our players give a **** what crap she spouts in her column the the nation's favourite hate comic.

Claude Puel has announced that Virgil Van Dijk will be staying at Southampton next season..........the headlines write themselves...... "Southampton Up Van Dijk Price"; "Puel Drives Hard Bargain"; and my favourite....... "Van Dijk Certain To Sign For United"

Anyone heard Durham on TalkShite a couple of days ago. He was in "full WUM" stating (predictably) that we had bottled it. No mention of ManC, ManU, Arsenal or Liverpool bottling it because they're probably "in transition" or have other excuses. The other thing both of them did, is stating categorically that the team that wins the league deserves to win the league. No arguments or other opinions allowed. They were talking specifically about the Newcastle Championship title, but the point stands. This got me thinking that everyone on that station seems to think the same way about everything. They simply don't have people with different opinions. I've heard others say exactly the same thing. If you win the league you deserve to. In other words it matters not if the refs gave you umpteen points, whether you were dominated in every game but got a lucky 1-0 break away, if the opposition scored all your goals as own goals or a dog ran on the pitch and stopped a goal for the opposition. There are to be no contributory factors and no dissent will be tolerated. I heard a rival sport station was going to be setup a while back but nothing seems to have come of it. Shame.
Tottenham Hotspur are determined not to sell 23-year-old midfielder Eric Dier, but Manchester United are ready to pay up to £40m to sign him. (Daily Mail) please log in to view this image I bet they are! Levy will ask twice that, of course! What part of "**** right off" does Mourhino not understand, when he speaks to our chairman?
I heard Goldstein & Cundy run a similar show, around about the same time. They had an alleged Spurs fan on who I simply refuse to believe was a Spurs fan. The man was an absolute embarrassment! I genuinely believed he was an Arsenal fan posing as a Spurs fan to make Spurs fans seem like deluded ****s! It's the kind of stunt I would pull, so I know. Basically, this "fan" was getting irate at Poch, and saying that he wasn't good enough to take us that "one step further" to win the league. Goldstein & Cundy let him rant on for 5 minutes, when most callers get around 1 minute, if they are lucky. At the end of the call, Goldstein thanked him and said that he had "made some very good points!" Every single one of the "points" made (all of which had been delivered in a rant-style) were complete bollocks, and totally against the grain of any opinion I have ever heard spouted by a true Spurs fan. What is it with Cundy's anti-Spurs agenda? He used to play for us. I know he was ****ing useless, but surely he must know that, and cannot apportion any blame to us for getting rid of him?
The fact that Cunny is employed by Chelsea TV certainly explains a lot...then again, the pinned tweet at the top of his Twitter feed which sound an awul lot like a failed gameshow contestant who's given oxygen by the Mail and LBC explains a lot more...
We've never had the best of press from The Standard. Appointing Chelsea fan and Abramovic apologist Gideon Osbourne as editor isn't going to improve matters. Today's nonsense surrounds the funding of two new stadiums. In relation to Chelsea, it is claimed that "it has not been revealed how the stadium will be paid for and there are no guarantees that Roman Abramovic will cover all of the bill himself." The 'journalist' who came up with this then claims that Chelsea will retain the name Stamford Bridge in the name of the new stadium, whereas Tottenham will "abandon" the name White Hart Lane to attract investment. Christ on a bike! Whatever next? "Levy makes no attempt to deny an alleged plan to sell Tottenham players' wives, girlfriends and children"?
