Thanks for your earlier analysis of this developing story
Only 3 goals in the prem? Could have sworn it was more than that!
Kinda pointless without knowing what his dump was like immediately prior to that softserve. However if we could do a comparison to determine the effects of the ice cream, that would be print worthy.
Not wanting to open up a can of worms, but he wasn't very good.
The article is wrong, he got 10 PL goals last season.
They did. Someone posted a picture of them together with their girls.
Nothing like a wife swapping orgy to build group solidarity and team chemistry.
I thought he was good until a certain point then he seemed burnt out, like most of our players tbh
I thought a 99 had a flake in it
Why do journalists toy with us so? It's fuckin cruel
Is there a confirmation of vanilla?

I see that the muricans have tart flavoured ice cream.....Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen treats himself to a tasty soft ice in New York
Christian Eriksen treated himself to a 99 ice-cream cone in New York before the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder returns to England for pre-season training.
The Denmark international is currently savouring his summer break with his girlfriend Sabrina Kvist Jensen after the pair enjoyed a road trip over the past week or so.
The 23-year-old midfielder has finally made it to the Big Apple after he previously snapped a photo of the pair soaking up the sun on the beach somewhere along the road to New York.
And Eriksen opted for a 99 ice-cream cone with plenty of hundreds and thousands to cool down in New York, uploading a photo of the soft ice on his Instagram page.
Eriksen wrote: “#Newyork #softice #awesomeplace #walkwalkwalk”
Eriksen has scored three goals and has made 10 assists in 38 Premier League games, featuring in each of the north London side’s top-flight matches last term.
The Denmark international has been a huge hit at the League Cup runners-up after he moved to Spurs from Ajax in an £11m deal in 2013.

*** puts spectacles on***
During the 1990s, a 99 Flake typically sold for 99 pence, leading many to believe that its price was the origin of its name. However, for the majority of its history, the 99 Flake sold for considerably less than 99p. The similarity was therefore only a temporary coincidence.
The origins of the name are uncertain. One claim is that it was coined in Portobello Scotland when Stephen Arcari, who opened a shop in 1922 at 99 Portobello High Street, would break a large 'Flake" in half and stick it in an ice cream. The name came from the shop's address. A Cadbury representative took the idea to his company.

Theres my interesting fact for the day
Margaret Thatcher was part of the research team that invented Mr Whippy.
Nicht.Margaret Thatcher was part of the research team that invented Mr Whippy.
The New Scientist reported in July 1983, as Thatcher was elected a fellow of the Royal Society body of scientists, that she had worked "developing emulsifiers for ice-creams for Joe Lyons from 1949-51".
The Washington Post, in the wake of her death last week, claimed she "helped invent ice-cream as we know it", adding that her efforts as part of the Lyons team to create a cheap, airy ice-cream were "one aspect of Margaret Thatcher's legacy we can all feel unequivocally good about".
It is, though, as the New Yorker has it, a "frozen-dessert origin myth".
Mr-Whippy-style soft-serve ice-cream originated in the US about a decade before Thatcher worked at J Lyons, it reports. When soft-serve arrived in the UK, J Lyons was indeed at the forefront – but it had teamed up with the US ice-cream behemoth Mister Softee and operated franchises under that name.
Thatcher was a food research scientist at J Lyons but, as a Royal Society article noted in May 2011, the details of her work there are sketchy. She reportedly worked on the quality of cake and pie fillings as well as ice-cream, and researched saponification (soap-making).
