The combined transfer fees of 8 of our starting 11 today was about 49m (figures obviously fairly rough and are lower elsewhere). Lloris 12m Rose 1m Toby 14m Davies 12m Trippier 5m Skipp Free Dele 5m Kane Free That's one Kyle Walker. Or two and a bit Kevin Wimmers. Add in: Lucas 26m Lamela...

Superb performance. Genuinely should have been at least 5 or 6. One of those games where you're not looking for a MOTM but a top five. And it's still tricky. One little moment of note for me early on was how we were absolutely bossing it after about 10-15 mins, were high up the pitch and...

****ing disgrace. Absolutely threw away a 6 or 7 nil there. Sort it out, Poch.

Just one quick thing: I got a bit teary at one point there thinking about how much I love Poch. Just thought I'd share...

One thing I have always known about that universe where Moussa Sissoko is an exceptional Prem player - it was never one of the ones where he was playing on the bloody wing! Seriously wonder if Dembele's injury might be a blessing in disguise. If it's gonna click with Sissoko it'll be with him in...

I was thinking of The Matrix but it's the same thing. It has happened. Mark this date.

Holy ****. I always knew there was a universe somewhere where this could happen but never dared to imagine it could be this one. It's like someone pulled a plug out the back of Moussa Sissoko's head, he opened his eyes and said "I know football".

No one else got up to watch the 4am kick-off? Lightweights. So the unsurprising stuff was: - Barca's kids look good but tire quicker than Spurs players. - Nevertheless Son and Eriksen look very good against Barca's kids. The good stuff was: - CCV had a good game. Maybe our best player in the...

And here's four more silly stats about Harry Kane. A good one is that within his first two WC games ever he's already scored 6% of all of England's WC goals ever. Oh Harry... https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/harry-kane-england-world-cup-14825330

On Sat 23rd June 2018 Romelu Lukaku became the first player ever to score a brace in his first two games at a World Cup finals. So that was a record. No one had ever done that before. Oh look. Here comes Harry Kane the very next day... I'm starting to feel sorry for records. They stand no...

Here's something I don't get about the reports that Man Utd think that Toby isn't worth more than 55m. If he's worth 25m to us next year, with one year left on his contract (which would be a bargain), why wouldn't he be worth at the very, very least 50m with two years on his contract? Oh - and...

Even makes playing for Stoke somehow forgivable. And genuinely loads better than he ever gets credit for.

So he's been at the club 5 years now. Which would indicate what about his class? Compared to, say, Son or Eriksen or Dele, all of whom have been here for the same amount of time or less? Sorry but he's just never been good enough for me. I know his stats are good but they flatter to deceive.

We've missed Toby this season. Class distribution every time.
