Strange that some on here are laughing that Germany are out

I can't think of anything other than a Spurs fanzine that would publish that and why on earth would I be reading one of those?

And I don't hate any of those people for the person they are (other than Danny Rose I mean) I hate them because they play for Spurs. But when they play for England, they aren't playing for Spurs, so I don't hate them.

Perhaps being a rational, mature, adult male has biased my view.

What about Debbie Alli? Surely you hate him???

He is like Stephen Hunt, but not Stephen Hunt. Everybody hates him.

Yeah, fair enough. Liddle bit I do, yeah.

No no no no no no no no. You misuderstand absolutely the motivation of the top class sportsman. He trains not to win the game, but to be the very best he can - to be extraordinary.

Like the ballerina.

Of course. But those two motivations are inextricably linked. I don't think you can separate the desire to win from the desire to improve your own performance. Top, top sportsmen have a desire to win that most normal people find almost inhuman.

But, as I say, neither they nor the ballerina are artists.

And when Constable drew a lansdscape he was merely applying technical brush-strokes to express the creation of man and god, presumably.

Technique is the means to the end. It is not the end itself.

Are you saying you know more than Arsene Wenger, my friend?

Arsene - God bless his tiny tie knot - could talk a right load of old b0llocks.

[SWv2]

Yeah, fair enough. Liddle bit I do, yeah.

I view him as the singly most despicable **** in the Premier League.

He is talented for sure though I am unsure if he deserves the quite ridiculous hype which surrounds him as a player. He is however without one iota of doubt a snide cheat and one who to a degree “gets away” with it.

Yes I know he has been pulled up and booked a fair few times for so called simulation, if you will. Diving for foreigners, simulation for others.

His Spurs-ness is entirely secondary in my view.

****.

Look at his ****y face, sw. Imagine that face holding the World Cup.
