Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
Such a down to earth lad, most footballers want Bentleys or Aston Martins
He's got a sensible agent who will not agitate for a move
The other two stories on here are also a good laugh!
Arsene wenger and Woolwich proving yet again they don't give a fuck about home grown players, forget Arseholes going back to Woolwich they should piss of to Paris. (Top right story)
The hype train has now reached maximum speed.
Thats a great picture, the times always seem to take the best sport pictures

Come on boys, you know what to do!

Thought of this the other day. To the tune of Woody Gutherie's The Sinking of the Reuben James.
Have you heard of a kid called the good Harry Kane?
Filled with tricks and skills and he plays at The Lane!
He wears the blue and white for Spurs yessiree!
And tonight he'll score a goal, or two, or three!
What is his name?
Tell me what is his name?
Shall we remind you,
Who's name is Kane!

It seems like over the next few seasons we're going to be attempting to bring a lot of academy boys into the first team and I hope everyone remembers the lesson of Kane (Bentaleb & Mason too). Writing off a 17 through 22 year old kid after a minimal amount of appearances is an extremely stupid thing to do.
Sure, Kane is an extreme example and it seems unlikely we'll ever have someone with a trajectory like him again but the point still stands, no player is a finished article at that age. Even if they don't initially look up to the task, the academy boys need support not criticism.
Just remember the way that Kane, Bentaleb, and Mason were written off before they had a true chance to prove themselves at Spurs and remember how idiotic that is when the next wave of academy products comes through. The Premier League is one of the highest levels of competition in the world, a kid barely out of his teens isn't going to be able to master it in five games. Be patient.

I think as a club we have been for such a long time starved of youth talent that Spurs fans seem to think that only buying works, that has now been turned on its head.
At the end of last season Kane played a few great games yet seemed to be given less benifit of the doubt than ade or Bobby and we all remember the bentaleb 'Tim's son' stuff. They have proved the doubters wrong and we have lots of other kids coming, hopefully kane and Bentaleb have laid a path for others to follow.
THANKYOU BRUV.
Yep, I very much remember it was Sherwood who gave Kane and Bentaleb their 'breakthrough chance'. I also remember Tim has a very high PPG, and I also remember the ridiculous and disgraceful abuse Tim got from so many.
From 'Citizen Kane' to 'King Kane' in one amazing season.
Well done to our very own 'Harry Hotspur'.
