    Since the backpass rule changed I dont think we had a single keeper had any kind of ability at "distibuting the ball" with their feet.

    I thought he was alright, but some of our fans were making out he was the 2nd coming of Craig Hignett.

    Great stuff.

    Oakwell rammed. A player who ran at defenders, took them on and wasn't afraid to shoot! Would love Hammill from his prime back in the team now.

    Did anybody rate Arismendi? I thought he was a certified, undisputed flop

    In fact, another Harry Kane stat.

    He's 2 Premier league goals short of what Alan Shearer scored for Newcastle.

    Shearer scored 148 goals in 303 games for Newcastle. Harry Kane is on 146 premier league goals in 211 games for Tottenham. I don't think it's going to take Harry 92 games to score his next 2 goals.

    He's already passed Shearers goal tally for England, it 12 fewer appearances. And he's only 27.

    Does it show that I really like Harry Kane.

    Harry Kane? The same Harry Kane that has 146 goals in 211 Premier League appearances?

    If he didn't, he could certainly commute

    I said front two though? I'd go Son/Kane over Salah/Firmino or Salah/Mane. Just a personal choice but you could flip a coin on which pair would be the best.

    I always thought Luke Berry was overrated for us - plenty of people were up in arms when we let him go at the end of 14/15 or whenever it was, but he'd been absolutely average in a team that should have been tanning League 1. Think he scored one goal. Sheite.



    Obviously he's done very well since and part of a Luton side above us in the table, so maybe we should have kept him a bit longer...

    he used to make late runs into the box when with us , really clever ones and no one had ability to find him, bit like Ryan Williams amount of times he ran into great position and didn't get ball, you got to have service, look at Winnall without Hourihane cant score for toffee

    First time I noticed Neymar he was playing for Santos - they were something like 7-0 up at half-time in the Copa Sudamerica and he had scored or set them all up. One of the best 45 minutes performances I've ever seen. At the time, Pele was describing him as the best player in the world. Not really watched much in Europe, but when I have he hasn't hit the same heights.
