Christ you're boring. Fans love Sissoko now, most of them anyway. He's putting in a real shift for the team and we have needed him.
Constant digs at him all the time are pointless and also unfair.

Mauricio Pochettino's relationship with Daniel Levy laying foundations on and off the pitch
Mauricio Pochettino's relationship with Daniel Levy laying foundations on and off the pitch
Mauricio Pochettino has transformed Tottenham into consistent top-four finishers in a little over four years in north London.
Few projects in the world of football can match Spurs' growth in recent seasons, with the club close to adding a brand new 60,000-seat stadium to their state-of-the-art training ground facilities., with Pochettino linked with the manager's job at Old Trafford.
But having helped deliver results on and off the pitch, Pochettino has his sights set on the securing silverware with Spurs.
"We are going to have one of the best facilities in the world, the training ground with the new stadium," he told Sky Sports.
"On the football side, all that we are building here will be in the same level. When you add and mix it all together it is going to be the time to win titles and deliver what the people expect.
"We still have not won a trophy, but I think we have won more than that, because after four-and-a-half-years' work together, to have a contract for another four-and-a-half years is a massive achievement in the current climate. To create that is a massive achievement for us.
"The platform that we have created here in Tottenham is the most important, the platform we created between all the coaching staff - in the academy and the first team. The platform we created is more important than one person.
"It's a very dynamic situation, football is so dynamic. The platform always improves players and the team. That platform is always changing because you always have to improve in football, you are learning in the same process.
"That is important for the club to sustain and maintain the ideas in the way that you work."
Stood shoulder to shoulder alongside Pochettino during his tenure has been Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.
For Pochettino, the relationship built on respect, discussion and compromise continues to serve all parties and the club well.
"I speak to him a lot, we talk a lot, we have very good communication," Pochettino added. "We don't always agree but, of course, that is normal.
"He is a person with a lot of experience managing this type of project and we are football people trying to advise on the decision on football.
"That means sometimes we agree and sometimes we don't agree. But after, when the decision is made, we are so strong in the delivery of it which shows it is best for the club.
"Many, many things happen in a football club, we are in contact nearly every day. On one side I listen more and agree with him, on another side he must agree with me in some decisions.
"But, always, we try to reach a compromise. He has one view, we have another. We are on different levels, of course he is my boss and then I need to respect him.
"At some point I need to convince him but when he wants to do something, because he's the boss, he doesn't need to convince me.
"Sometimes it looks like the board and the chairman are the worst enemy of the manager and the coaching staff, the football versus the financial side.
"But the relationship is good and we always try to make the best decision for the club."

Mauricio Pochettino's bond with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy won't stop his exit plan | Daily Mail Online
It's all if this and if that...they're not even sure he wants to leave but are sure that if he does he'll take a hardline stance...that doesn't even make sense...

Can you get Babestation on any other TV platform? if so, i'm in..
At this moment in time there is no offer from United, we are in the middle of the season and alive in 4 competitions, there is nothing for him to consider except his job as manager of Tottenham.
If in the summer he receives an offer and decides he wants to leave, then nothing will stop him. He’s a professional manager and not our slave, if he wants to go then we need to let him go. Hopefully it won’t come to a point where he wants to go, it all depends on how the season plays out. If we win a trophy and remain in the top 3, with a new stadium and Eriksen and Toby signed up, chances are good that he stays. If those things don’t happen then he may think he’s taken us as far as he can with our tiny budget.
Yeah, BT TV, you can have a cheaper jodrell. Bt sports, while awash with wanky pundits has all the European football but obviously not as many Premiership games and is a fair bit cheaper than Sky.
Sky lost La Ligue and BT lost Serie A to new streaming companies, i can see more of this as the competition expands.
do they still have television x, the fantasy channel?
These company bitches are part of the broader issue for me... Fuck BT too... All free on the interweb.
I'm not paying to keep all the cunts I hate in their cushy jobs.... Fook that.
Porn's free on-line too btw.
ochhail:BT's not ideal agreed but whilst we're in European competition i'll stick with them. The lesser of two evils.These company bitches are part of the broader issue for me... Fuck BT too... All free on the interweb.

I get both evils for free.
I can't understand paying all that money... If I had £60pcm (or more) to spend, over the course of the year that's a major chunk towards a season ticket.
I was paying Sky £80 a month when i quit. BT costs me less than £30.
Nabil Bentaleb is a success at Schalke.
Schalke play Man City in the next stages of the Champions League.
Never let the truth get in the way, John.
I tend to look on the basis of how much it costs to see it all... That's £110pcm and I'd still be missing all 3pm kick offs.
Don't get me wrong, if I could buy an all-match package from the club I'd be straight on it.
Wonder how the noshers will spin this?
Will use the 2 slightly negative press conferences/interviews in the last 6 months against the 100's of positive ones in that time.
Dat confirmation bias doe.
Poch smashing the Utd mantra and nailing his colours to Levy’s mast at the same time.
Backing the club, it’s policy and our chairman while talking non stop about our future......it’s all “we” and “us”.
He does things with class, and only the stupid (Scholes, Carragher, Scott) etc will read his words as meaning “I want silverware at Utd because Levy is a tight cunt”
