It's half-time and Atletico are currently losing. Real are also losing, to Good Ebening, of all people.
They've managed one shot on target each.

He and a dozen of his closest friends and relatives no doubt put a bet on it...
We have let 3 right backs leave in recent times, Trippier, KWP and Foyth, and all 3 of them are better players than the current 2 clowns Doherty and Aurier, that is incompetence of the highest order.
Well done to Trippier, Eriksen also, hell even Nkoudou has gone on to pick up a medal, Spursy to say the least.

Given how keen in his final season he was to blame his teammates for his mistakes, to the point of yelling at them while the opponents were rushing through the space created by him standing still and yelling at them after he put them in danger with a mistake, it's worth asking
Come to think of it, hasn't Dier been picking up that exact same habit on more than one occasion this season?
Although this is the ex spurs thread Gazza will always be Spurs to me , He had his demons and unfortunately will always be remembered for his antics but the lad came alive with the ball at his feet

In the 45 or so years before he died in 2019, my old man hardly ever had a good word to say about any Spurs player after Bill Nick retired and Big Pat left. They were all pale imitations of the players in the 2 league winning teams.
Gazza was one of the rare exceptions (with Stevie P, Modric, Kane, Ardiles and Hoddle). He actually went to see a night with him and Greavesie and had his photo taken with them. It hung proudly in his house until the day he died. Gazza will always be Spurs in my eyes.

Trippier with some no-nonsense defending in injury time and Simeone's quite pleased about it.
Yeah I watched the last 20 mins of their game.
Mad to think the Bury Beckham is a league winner, lol, good on him though .
Adel Taarabt turns 32 today.
Definitely doesn’t feel like 15 years ago he was a 17 year old wonderkid nutmegging players for fun with us.
Is he arguably one of the best players that never was? The skills he could do even Ronaldinho would be impressed yet his career never seemed to lift off. Strange one. One or two better choices and perhaps a better attitude and he could’ve gone on to be one of the elites of his era I think.

Taarabt always felt best placed to be a big fish in a small pond, so he'd have had a great career in the Eredivisie or Primeira Liga, or even a few Ligue 1 teams (but not the big hitters like PSG or Lyon), but La Liga, the Bundesliga, the Premier League or Serie A wouldn't so much have eaten him alive as let him eat himself
Yeah he’d have hit crazy numbers in Holland. Did have a reasonably good short loan spell at Milan too.
The “Streets will never forget” video of him is arguably one of the best comps you can find. The man looked like a Fifa cheat code at times with the stuff he was doing.
Well what a relief we spent £53m on his second coming.

So at least we can say he knows the difference between the X and Y axis...
For £50m+, I'm not feeling that's any great comfort.
They're both lazier than my cats.
Had an absolutely legendary season with QPR in the Championship and is now a holding midfielder for Benfica, rather bizarrely.

You'd have thought that he'd be totally unsuited to the Championship, but he spent the whole time murdering people and scored 19 goals.
