And I loved watching Yanwama and Dembele controlling midfield with a very physical style of play. We used to have two midfielders like that.

    In fact, when the first one went in last night, I yelled out with joy. And I watched the entire match as I found it interesting.

    So who's up for supporting Spurs as their second team then?
    Behave

    They have a very balanced first XI and as long as they all stay fit they'll be right up there but they're a Harry Kane injury away from having to start Janssen

    They will also inevitably implode because that's what they do

    They can also all **** off and die*

    *maybe not ACTUALLY die but you know what I mean

    They have already lost Kane for a part of this season and have done okay.

    We lose Sanchez for a prolonged injury and we have to play Giroud who let’s face it once we have to endure him over a longer duration reminds us of how massively average he really is.

    Regardless, we always find a way.

    Weren't spurs doing really well untiil they lost Kane and then that's why they dropped away until he came back?

    I really don't understand you hatred of Giroud, then again I never really understood your dislike of Ljungberg

    I can't recall the specifics but I seem to recall the general belief that they would fall apart in his absence but I think Son stepped up and played really well, turns out he is a very decent player.

    I've never liked Giroud. Stupid haircut, stupid beard, mirror loving over dramatic ****.

    I know what it is; you think Olivier is keeping Higuain out of the side

    You just described Ljungberg as well. What is it you have against attractive men, SW?

    You always seemed to like me.

    I feel like Spurs are somewhat too feisty for people to really have a whack at, and they're hoping they will fade of their own accord. They're incredibly fit, are physically very imposing. They have a limitless sense of rectitude, having been done down for many years. Its like coming across an escaped convict. It's like, all right man, do it. Good luck. Just don't punch me with a steak knife before moving along.

    I would have thought that if a steak knife was your weapon of choice then you would stab a person with it, not punch them.

    We need a couple people with personality on our dull team. Giroud is so in love with himself that he forgets to choke. I can't hate that about him.
