Spur of the Moment said:
Jake Livermore has given a really insightful and quite moving interview to Jenas on BBC
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37204786

Enfield-born and a Spurs man through and through, this guy was clearly in a very bad place, but seems to have come through it.
Some would say that he was let off lightly and was able to continue his career almost without intervention. I would say that that it was a situation that was viewed and adjudicated on with an amazing amount of sense and compassion by the football powers that be - and the fact that the lad has been able to turn the situation around both on and off the pitch is the lasting testiment that this was a good call.

Wishing him the best for his future and I am sure that he will be warmly greeted at WHL whenever he returns :emoticon-0148-yes:

Agree with all of that.
Brilliant interview, brought a little tear to the eye, having had a similar thing happen in the family (no drugs that i know of though!). I still think there is a chance for him with England tbh, if he can get back to his best.

The tiredest show on TV is back

The easily pleased can spend their Saturday nights watching desperate wannabes yell and yodel their way through countless dreary ballads and tacky club anthems by some of the dullest, naffest and cringeworthy pop acts in history

<steam>

Could you be a little bit more specific? That could be The Voice or The X-Factor.

I was thinking about all those caps Robbie has received and the I look back.........1 cap for Bill Nick,1 cap for George Robb,1 cap for Harry Clarke....to name just three......and that was just 3 Spurs players playing for England.
They give away caps today like the refs give away red and yellow cards.

1, disgracefully, for Steve Perryman, only 16 for Gary Mabbutt. To be fair, Robbie is lucky that he plays for Republic of Ireland, less competition. Reflects well on him when compared to the likes of Ryan Giggs who was miraculously injured every time a Wales friendly came up.

I agree with you overall, but I don't think that Keane's a great example of it, to be honest.
He's arguably Ireland's best player of all time and easily the top forward.
Won his first cap when he was just 18, following a very successful run in the youth sides, including winning the U18 Euros.

Are both of them following the SpursOfficial feed (flattered that they have posted at all) ??

I'm not sure. Soldado's comment doesn't surprise me, but Gomes left under a bit of a cloud.
Spotted this on the Brazilian's feed, though:
