Lovely analogy by the way.

The only french people to ever protest, set up barricades or behave violently are Muslims. No other french person in history has ever done this!!!Europeans? In that France thread they were telling me it was just Muslims.
I agree its an absolute load of codswallop but you did post the link anyway?
It doesn’t but if you’re trying to draw an equivalence between Campbell and Graham then I don’t see it. If anything Graham was stabbed in the back by ownership rather than vice versa.
I daresay most of the complainants at the use of the name never saw Spurs under Graham and never witnessed Graham in his Woolwich days. More faux indignation. Perhaps focus on the content of the posts rather than the handle making them.
We’ve wasted way too much time over a username. This is clutter. Anyone offended can put me on ignore. It’s immaterial to me. This is my last time discussing this.
3 days late on this post!
I know, it's not meant to be taken seriously, it's a chuckle.I agree its an absolute load of codswallop but you did post the link anyway?
Without checking, I think you're remembering things out of order...
Mason/Bentaleb was his first choice midfield for the main part of his first season, after he'd gotten fed up of the Kaboul/Capoue/Adebayor clique and ostracised them, and before Dembele had found his way into Poch's cm affections.
This was before Wanyama arrived, and by the time Wanyama and Dembele were crocked I'm pretty sure both Bentaleb and Mason had been sold.
Big Muslim population back in 1789? I never realised!
Unfortunately some read it as truth because it posted on the internet.
Bentaleb was gone by the time Vic arrived....
For the most part when the team was flying under Poch it was a combination of Dier, Vic & Dembele switching up between 4231 & 3421.
Either way; a central MF unit who's primary strength was it's physicality.;
Then that's their problem, I just read the story and laughed. People are way too tense around here.
Don't forget the immigration control personnel.Muslims.... And those pesky lorry drivers!
You can set your watch by their strike actions.
You're welcome.Thanks for sharing.
That chronology is probably correct (again without checking in detail).
I do remember it took some time for Poch to work out what to do with Dembele, before he became the heart of our midfield & sadly, like Wanyama, (& Sandro & Palacios) crocked too soon.
This also shows that there was quite a long evolution before the peak Poch era arrived.
As well as purging the Kaboul / Capoue / Adebayor group, Bentaleb also got binned for his attitude when coming back from injury, IIRC.
Mason, on the other hand, was a model professional identified by Poch as a key part of the Spurs culture he'd created. But ultimately judged not quite good enough, and sold to Hull.
I'm not offended, it's just a strange choice but whatever, makes no difference to me.
I'm not sure why it keeps on getting mentioned either. I may not agree with your comments regarding our owners but it's certainly go nothing to do with your Username.
Genuinely happy to keep him over Eric Dier.
