I think Harry should see out the rest of the season at Spurs than go to someone like Real Madrid and try to win a few trophies before he retires and "see the world!" I think with all the big money around in the PL (not sure if it's all honest) dear old Spurs will be also rans.(Hope I'm wrong there!) Well done Harry and thank you Jimmy Greaves for those wonderful memories during our great and sometimes lean years!
He has no choice but to see out the season. The window is shut. Need to see if he'll sign an extension at the end of the season, otherwise he is off.
65 years today since the Munich Air Disaster. Still shocking and surreal; the opposite of the fate you expect to befall fit, healthy, young sportsmen. RIP
Ive probably said this before, I was collecting footballer cards as a small boy and can remember looking at the faces in disbelief of the fact that they had gone. The impact of this disaster was huge and is still felt to this day.
I can remember that just before Munich,Spurs were playing at Old Trafford and we won 4-3 with Bobby Smith scoring 3.Talk about surprise!...The many attempts to get that plane in the air in those conditions was sad.Why it wasn't cancelled we will never know!
No elf & safety back then. The buses still went out in thick dense fog! You just got on with it in those days no matter what. Still remember the absolute shock of it, I was 16. RIP to those young lads.
Even so, you'd have thought the pilots would have said no. I can only imagine the shock of losing a team in their prime. A fabulous team at that. I do wonder how 60/61 season would have gone without the crash.
I had this thought based on hearing the "bemused" analysis of Pep's managerial performance against us by pundits. It's almost as if they were saying before their thoughts "considering he's the best manager in the world, why did he....". Of course you can be less bemused by not having that assumption, because clearly it's not true. My thought however was this. We can all see how much Harry has added to his game in more recent seasons by being on occasion a very creative midfielder, with a superb range of passing. It seems to me that if Harry had joined Citeh a couple of seasons ago, all the pundits would be saying "look how much Pep has improved Kane, he was always a good goalscorer, but now Pep has added this creative side to his game".
Or alternatively he may never have developed that way and like Haarland would be told to wait for crosses. Maybe Poch and Jose encouraged this aspect of his game?
We’ll never know the answer. Or whether Utd might have challenged Real Madrid’s dominance in Europe. Or whether England might have been more of a force with the likes of Duncan Edwards in their ranks.
Portu-ball ironically mproved the Kane game. By Jose and Nuno not playing a remotely aggressive/incisive MF attack, Kane was forced to drop deeper to get into games (and Son was a big beneficiary) . At Citeh, Kane would just be doing his peak Pochettino era stuff, bur as equally / more prolific than Haaland currently is.
That is the point (you will never know) . The relative depth of the tragedy is the "babes" part. Young men whose futures were only beginning to be written, wiped out with but a word on the page.
There's suggestions that a former Sheikh Mansour Team player or coach turned informer for the Premier League's investigation ...admit it, you all immediately thought it was Yaya Toure
Our next FA Cup opponent will be decided tonight. Sheffield Utd host Wrexham at 7.45pm and it's on ITV4, if anyone wants to watch it.
