    4 of the 5 were scored when they had ten men, despite your rather unsubtle attempt to shift that man onto the pitch! <laugh>

    Can't fault Walcott for that answer, to be honest. Dodged the question completely and made it sound inappropriate.

  3. Everyone knows that LFC is the all-time perpetual tragi-comedy of Shakespearian proportions. Their failings, over the past decade, have been Classic in stature. Long may that continue.

  4. Absolutely. What I'm querying is why he was asked the question in the first place!

    What did they expect Walnut to say? "Yeah, sack the ****er!"

    Hey, it's worth a go. Footballers say some bloody stupid things, at times.

  6. That is very true.

    And Walnut did, very recently, try to lead a dressing room revolt against Wenger. So, I suppose I can understand why the reporter chanced his arm with a Walnut-gambit.

    Kyle Walker: Tottenham can win all competitions we are in this season

    Full of belief: Walker is confident Spurs can end the season with more than one trophy Getty Images
    Kyle Walker believes Tottenham can win any competition they feature in this season.
    Mauricio Pochettino’s side are competing for honours on four fronts this term and will be forced to balance domestic concerns with a bid for glory in the Champions League, which Spurs are playing in for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
    Though their European campaign got off to a slow start with defeat to Monaco in their opening group game Tottenham seem well set on other fronts. Spurs lie third in the formative league table having gone unbeaten in their opening five games and secured their passage to the fourth round of the EFL Cup with a 5-0 win over Gillingham.
    Having added the likes of Vincent Janssen, Victor Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko in the summer Walker is convinced Tottenham have the squad to enjoy success on multiple fronts, and sees no reason why Spurs can’t enjoy glory in 2017.

    The 2nd was a penalty(which lead to the sending off)the 10 v 11 only began after the kick off after the pen.<laugh>

    Or are you saying the extra man makes all the difference when a penalty is taken?

    <laugh>

    Not a quote in sight, actually. Try this one, instead:
    "The Champions League next season will be new for me but I hear good things," N'Golo Kante.

    But only their keeper takes part in a penalty kick, the game then restarted 10 v 11.

    <ok>

    Yeah, that's great and all, but they still had 10 men on the pitch.
    A saved penalty or even an infringement could've changed things. Probably wouldn't have, but we can't know.

  15. Right.

    Because you Mousers all believe that that is all you've deserved over the past decade, and all that you deserve over the next decade.

    What I don't understand is, why did he want more money ( allegedly ).
