Really?
Not much you can do if you have a chronic injury. He did play the back end of his career on one knee, risking his future health.
I'm from the Lineker / Gazza era as a youngster.
No ill feeling about how they left the club but both down in their estimation from playing days sadly. Lineker for just being a massive bulb politically and thinking he's some sort of preacher on social media. Gazza for the endless chances he's had and ruined over the years.

Diapers?
The man seems to get dafter and dafter everytime I hear him on tv.
Or anything else!
modric. Tried very hardly to go to Chelsea. No forgiveness.
mixed feelings about bale as well. He was world class and all but after he left it’s like for him Tottenham never meant anything special

Diapers sounds just the right description of them, it’ll do for me
I really liked him aswell. I definitely don't think he is an ex player to be called a prick. As you said he speaks very fondly of us
I find it hard to begrudge a player his international ambitions and it wasn't his responsibility to carry the whole team. We had four other strikers on the books in 03/04 and a whole squad of players who under-achieved. We didn't have a problem scoring goals; we were letting too many in (a cup tie against Man City springs to mind) and that's not the striker's fault.
Well, we lost at home to a team who finished 15th three days later...
So, yes, it could very well have been a factor, especially when we were in the top 4 at the time.
But even if it didn't affect results in any way, it is not OK to disregard the manager's express instructions and go behind his back.
When I was a nipper, Lineker was my absolute idol. I was gutted he chose the cash in Japan, and then seeing him care less and less about us, culminating with his joy at Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with us in the ‘Leicester’ season... I understand he’s a Leicester boy but still.
That applies to a lot of players I’m a boyhood “Celtic” fan said Roy Keane yet in another thread says he supported us! But anyway it’s what players want you to believe or they think your stupid they’ve signed for a certain club because they supported them, fuck off your only saying that cos you’ve just signed and they’re paying the most! Look at arguably the two best clubs in Europe Barcelona and Madrid now how many people on here know die hard supporters of that two clubs? Chances are one, two at the most and they’ll be kids who’s parents have asked what football strip do you want for your birthday and they’ve told them there the best teams so I’ll buy them that kit! same goes for players you really think Eriksen was kicking a ball about in a park in Denmark with a Madrid kit and Ronaldo (fat one) on the back......no chance.
I'm not trashing the past but there are always players who end up disappointing us in some form or other and I was interested to hear other people's views.
It isn't anything to do with recent results. I would have started this thread if we were top of the table.
As far as Pochettino is concerned, I hope and expect that he will be given time to address the current issues.
And I would much rather have things the way they have been for the last 4 seasons - top 4 each year, our highest league position for over 50 years, a Champions League Final but no silverware - than 4 seasons of mid-table mediocrity and a League Cup.
