Pondering whether or not to add how he helped the biggest dickhead off ArsenalFanTV make a colossal bellend of himself on Twitter yesterday afternoon...

Harry Kane must be a mangers' dream. He's never going to give a minutes trouble to any manager he works with, trains hard every session, willing to learn, and an inspiration to any youngster wanting to be a professional footballer.
Most managers would accept a 7 out of 10 performance every week from their team, yet Harry seems to produce more than this week in and week out. Even yesterday, after he had bagged another hat trick and with the game won, he was busting a gut and sprinting fully 50 yards to chase back and defend. And when we then broke, he turned round and sprinted back to where he had just come from to help in the counter attack.
With this level of application, plus there is more to come from him, then he can go on and achieve whatever he wants from the game.

I know Kane is good, and tis Christmas,
but he is not the baby Jesus.
"He's never going to give a minutes trouble to any manager he works with, trains hard every session, willing to learn, and an inspiration to any youngster wanting to be a professional footballer. ..."
Indeed.
And in the post-match press conference yesterday,
I sensed that Pochettino was making a comment
(veiled or otherwise) to Alli on the current difference
between his performance level and Kanes' .

The PL era stats show just how poor the Spurs
forward attack has consistently been (long gaps of
mediocrity in between the eras of Teddy, Keane/Defoe etc) .

A more savage indictment is that come season end
four of Pochettinos' current attacking players could
be in the top 10 of that PL list.

Just for anyone that missed it, the pundits were rubbing it in for Shane Long during our game against Southampton.
Prior to this goal today, Kane had scored 47 times since Long last hit the net. Painful run of form.
Umm - maybe not that amazing this one but...well yeah - it is a bit. The record of Player of the Month Awards for any individual is just seven? Hmm. Well - Harry's equally Gerrard's record.
Harry Kane is 24 years old.

OK. So this week's records that have been beaten:
- Harry has now scored 20 goals a season for 4 seasons in a row. Van Nistelrooy did not manage that. So now Harry's in an elite group of 3 which also includes Shearer and Henry. Shearer did it 4 years in a row, Henry 5. Harry will have this record to himself within a couple of years. That's nice.
(Dunno if I've mentioned this before but Harry Kane is 24 and he's has scored 20 goals four seasons in a row in his first 4 full seasons in the Premiership with Spurs).
- Harry is now our all-time Premier League top-scorer. 98 in 135 appearances overtaking Teddy's 97 in 236 appearnaces. So just a little bit more than half the number of appearances for Harry then.
(He's also now our 9th highest-scorer of all time. And did I mention that Harry Kane is only 24?!)

EDIT TO ABOVE POST:
Sorry - did I say "this week's records..."? I must have ignored the fact that the last time Harry broke/equalled a Premier League record was about 24 hours before today's game. So it should have read "Today's records..."
Can't keep up.
The guy is an absolute phenomenon. We need to pay him lots and lots of money for years and years and years. No other Spurs player can complain. What they gonna do? Say "Well Harry gets paid..." ?! Mate, whoever you are, you're not Harry Kane.
Seriously his value to the team is becoming so uniquely huge that I'm getting less worried about overall pay inflation for the whole squad if he is paid a commensurately unique wage. What we pay Harry Kane has bugger all to do with what we pay anyone else. He's out there on his own and surely even Dele Alli's agent can see that.

And it's January.
Berbatov reached 20 league goals in a Premier League season on one occasion. Robbie Keane and Michael Owen never managed it.
His scoring record is getting a bit silly now, to be honest.
He's made 28 appearances for us this season in all competitions and he's scored 28 times.
Two more Premier League goals and he catches Matt le Tissier. Six more and he's level with Drogba.
He keeps having big milestones put in front of him and he keeps reaching them.
As Pochettino said, the gaps between the milestones will
soon get bigger (so he doesn't have to talk about them
every week) .
So from the above, Pochettino will have to grin and bear
it for a few more weeks.
So can he beat Shearer's 260?
163 to go.
5 seasons at current form without injury.
8 seasons at a top striker rate.
10 seasons allowing for injuries, dips in form, age etc.

Yep - it basically looks like it's simply a matter of spending his whole career in England and he'll beat Shearer's record and most of the others that are out there too.
Bear in mind that he's already had a good handful of months-long injury lay-offs in his career so far so it's not like he's been freakishly lucky on that front.
Plus he's still getting better. He seems to now be adding a passing range and accuracy that would be the envy of most top midfielders.
He's not actually getting quicker (is he?) but he does seem to be able to get past/ahead of defenders easier too. Think he's learned a bit about how to use his strength and body shape to get slightly ahead of defenders. That seems to be something that Poch has taught all the players, actually.
(I wonder how his goalkeeping's coming on. He played there for us once - after having scored a hat-trick, obviously. I was a little disappointed. Feel he needs to work on this part of his game).
I seriously reckon (barring any huge injuries) he's gonna reset the standard for great Premier League strikers. Shearer was not as good. Once he's in his 30s the talk will no longer be about Prem-era records but all-time records.
January. I forgot to mention that it's January. Bearing in mind that Harry finds scoring in August gauche and unnecessary that's a little over 4 months to get his total to 20!
(Actually hang on - that's pretty insane. He's scored around 4.5 *premier league* goals a month on average since August?!)
One thing he has added to his game is knowing when to expend energy. When the defence is under pressure, who is back defending corners? Harry Kane. Against Everton, who didn't realy bother our defence, Kane hardly broke into a sweat the whole match and defended nothing. He could have probably played another game straight afterwards. That is world class, Messi is the master of knowing when to exert energy.
Not sure the Southampton lads are taking all of Kane's "records" seriously
Think a brace would put him level with Shearer's record for most goals in the Gregorian calendar year. Not to mention the Lunisolar (Chinese) and Jewish calendar years, hence uniting all the key scoring records under his name.
