Entirely disagree. He's a huge influence and one if the best midfielders in the Prem, or just about anywhere else.

The reason he was inconsistent in the past was because of AVB. He had him so confused and dispirited, he didnt know what he was supposed to be doing.

Under MP, he's been a revelation...

I've heard Spurs fans complain about him last season. Either he's lazy or he's just not quick enough.

There were plenty of Spurs players getting rave reviews last season. Dembele i recall wasnt one of them.

It's not just my opinion. Here's what a rather special player, who,knows him well, thinks of him...

Every team that has ever won the league title has had elements of luck or "fluke" in their title wins.
Arsenal's "invincibles" should have lost at least 2 of their games that year but were saved by lucky deflections or incorrect referee decisions.
What is your point?
It all came together for Leicester at the same time as it started falling apart for everyone else. (Arsenal and ££££ having mediocre seasons, United and Chelsea having Deltmown seasons, Liverpool staying ****, as always).

What is your point?
And why are Spurs fans so ****ing btthurt about it when no one else is? Why do Spurs get to corner the market on "luck" outrage?
You don't see anyone else bitching about it constantly.

You can try to say its not bitterness, but it is.

You are generalising a bit here. If not us last season, I definitely wanted Leicester to win and I suspect alamost every spurs fan wanted that above Arsenal. Any bitterness is just becuase we were the last team standing in the chase and we'd obviously have loved to win. Nothing longstanding about it though, I think it's a great story and I said so on their board the minute we couldn't win it. So, please, stop with the "Spurs fans" description. At least qualify it somewhat.

Correct!

As far as I'm aware every Spurs fan here said that if we couldn't win it, we wanted Leicester to....

You might be wandering in to HIAG territory here Spurlock.
If Leicester finish higher than Spurs again, you may look silly :p

I guess I am just curious as to why its Spurs fans especially who have this problem with Leicester, and not say, Chelsea, whose title was usurped by Leicester, or Man United who used to be top of the pile and were edged out, or Arsenal, as Leicester were the only team to finish above them last season.

There just seems no reason for Spurs to be like this, and I don't buy this rivalry bollocks, because for two weeks last season it looked like you had an outside chance of catching them up, you can be total dicks?

When someone plays verbal tennis, expect a few return serves. They aren't our perennial rivals..they were last year. Since then they been gobbing off, why does it bother you that Spurs fans give some back?

I still think they make fantastic curries. Nothing to do with wether they won the league but if your gobbing off..your getting some back, it's the nature of the beast.

That's why with some I'm fine with others like that twat AKCJ..I'm giving some back....that ****er had a tent and a flask and was camped out on our board last year.

Chill out Bo x

Yes but while you've gone backwards, those two have got a lot better.

You could've built something brilliant last season Spurlock but instead you "did a Spurs". You wont get another chance like that again.

Such is life....doesn't mean you give up. It does not mean we lower our aims either. Why should we?

Bcos it will lead to a lot of tears for the spurs faithful. I know what you lot are like <laugh> I'd keep expectations low and save yourselves the prescription of statins.

Exactly!

He wasnt anywhere near the best then either. Goes to show you can't go by what fellow national team mates spout.

Er...I'm obviously Missing the connection about what was said about Dembele very recently. And what Shrek said about the Joe Hart of more than 4yrs ago, when he at least had a credible claim to be the best.

With respect only team mates and fellow Belgies, I'm sure he looks better playing in that company than he does at spurs

Those are the opinions of some world class players, whatever their nationality. They surely wouldn't say it if they didn't believe it..

Best in the world, or not, he's a hell of a good player!
