    Harry Kane is 29 and aint got a domestic pot, let alone a European one or an International pot to his name - they said today he's due to beat Jimmy Greaves scoring record, he's another one that missed the glory with England, sometimes you have to accept your fate in life and even Kane doing the foodbank run wont save his career dream to win a gold or silver pot.

    He's wasted his career aint he.

    At least Greavsie was still good for a laugh on a saturday morning back in the day. Don't fancy listening to Kane droning on for an hour every week tbh.

    He has wasted his career, I don't even know how people regard him as one of the greats, the English are bloody good at supporting losers. Even Steve Bruce has got more trophies in his cabinet than the whole of the Spurs team, and he came from little ole Gillingham ffs.

    Yeah, and he won those trophies by playing for Manchester United funnily enough.

    Who'd have thunk that, eh?

    He done fooking well at United under Ferguson, too many people forget what he did actually achieve. He might be an ugly looking fooker, but at least he can be proud of his playing career, to put someone like Kane on any platform the same as Bruce is just laughable.

    He was a hard one to work out as a player. Very highly thought of at Old Trafford and yet never got a look in for England.

    As a player he was quality, perhaps in the mix for best player never to play for England. Less said about his latter year management the better.

    From memory, so ive not googled this, I think it was Newcastle that threw Bruce on the scrap heap when he was a kid, then we took him on, and Beardsley who was with him at the time, got turned down by my lot lol, can't remember where he went. Well history knows the rest between those two. The reason Bruce went to Newcastle is because I think it was always his dream, I think he originally came from some area near there. Yet when he went there as a manager, the fans treated him like shhite, I wanted the poor sod to get out.

    Neither did his partner Gary Pallister.

    And yet both of them together were comfortably the best centre back pairing in the league.

    That's England though, ****ing useless, managed by useless ****s.

    Michael Carrick rarely got a look in either for **** sake.

    Tbf mate, we've not done too bad with ex-spurs players. Sherringham came to us past age 30 iirc having won nothing with them and still managed to win plenty with us.

    Maybe Kane could live up to other Spurs greats like Teddy, Carrick and Berbatov and win stuff with us?

    Good pairing yes.

    That's apart from in 1992 when Leeds had the best centre backs and consequently won the league.

    Who am I to argue with the Man Utd tacticians if they are interested bro. I just sense you are building the Spurs fans up with false hope that United might get the cheque book out.

    I remember you winning the league under Revie, I don't remember you winning it in the 90's, must have been a bad year. <whistle>
