Son's timing as usual is spot on. This was the summer to go out on a high before the trolls start criticising his right to be in the side. I was lucky enough to be at the Burnley match to see his best goal for the club. He will always be remembered not just for his football ability but also for his happy & friendly manner.
100% 10 year servant legend of the club top 5 goal scorer most assists, stayed with us when other forced there way out when the good times under Poch ended.
Get one built
He knows he's on the back end of his athleticism*. If, through the club (management + fans), he's heard the idea that it's better to go out at the top, on a massive high, than hang on for more glory at the expense of your club, then that'd be the club helping him to make the decision. He's done the right thing for the right reasons. And it just adds the respect he has for us and the love I have for him.
Fuck! gone again.
* I wasn't really seeing it, but it gets mentioned a lot. I do know he wasn't having regular worldies, like he used to. I'd have liked one more season, but maybe this is better. Lifting a cup, getting us an incredible finish and CL footie, allowing us to spend on more building etc. He'll forever be a cornerstone in our legacy (at least as far as my time goes).

Man, get out of here with that “toughest league in the world” garbage. The arrogance is trash.
You're not alone...
Was there really any need to pick up on that commonly-used epithet in this context?
Yes, it’s garbage. Doesn’t matter that it is stupidly “commonly used.” The “he can’t cut it here anymore because it is the toughest in the world” is so lame. Sonny can’t perform at the level we have expected from him at any of the top leagues in the world, like LaLiga, Serie A, and the Bundesliga. The EPL isn’t special. It’s just different. Just like LaLiga is different, etc.
This is Sonny's day... Piss off with this crap.
My Captain!
What is the toughest league then?
Yes, it’s garbage. The “he can’t cut it here anymore because it the toughest in the world” is so lame. Sonny can’t perform at the level we have expected from him at any of the top leagues in the world, like LaLiga, Serie A, and the Bundesliga.
There are multiple leagues that are very challenging for different reasons. Palinha was a monster in the EPL but did very poorly on the best club in the Bundesliga.
La Liga is extremely technical and tactical. Even the worst teams in that league “play” with the ball. They typically don’t huff it up and try to play like the lower level EPL sides.
The Bundesliga is also very physical and tactical.
Serie A is very technical and tactical, but not as much as LaLiga.
They’re all tough!
Yes, I think we all know this. But the EPL, or to use it's unofficial name 'the toughest league in the world' is one of the most popular and it regularly provides strong contenders to the CL. More than most.
Anyway, stop being nasty to people. it's a tough time!
Don't worry dear, you were just a bit tired & emotional.I’m guessing this is aimed at me
Sorry for my “fkin ridiculous idea” but emotions are running high, and that’s how I felt in that moment.
It’s hard to imagine someone else wearing that number right now, but one day someone will and it won’t be so sad.
I was just thinking, I wonder how many of the Korean contingent have become long-term Spurs fans. It'll be interesting to see.On the upside, it will be easier to get tickets next season!
