Chill out, lads. It really is too hot!

Speaking of things that are mildly annoying, I'm starting to get slightly irritated with the very vocal bandwagon "supporters" who follow the club only for Son. In this "goal of the summer" thing for best goal since the restart (see video below), it looks like Son's going to win yet another award. (Just look at the comments on that video: 90% of them are about Son, yet less than 10% of them are actually about the quality of the goals..)



Son probably deserved most of, if not all of, the end of season awards but he wouldn't deserve this one. Kane's second goal against Leicester is clearly, objectively the best in terms of execution, aesthetic value, of "how difficult was it to score?" -- and it isn't even close.

Son's chip was great and so was his other goal (though Kane scored an almost identical one against Crystal Palace, making both less remarkable). Nevertheless, only Kane's second against Leicester was truly special (using, say, the benchmark of whether it would get into a MOTD goal of the month compilation, or whether it would make an average football fan say "wow" -- which is literally what one of the commentators said at the time). If the YT comments are anything to go by, Son will win on popularity, and that tastes a bit sour.

As you were.

Agreed that Kane deserves this particular 'Goal of the Summer for Spurs' accolade.

I love Sonny, really think he's great. If this is a popularity contest though, then there's no point. Kane's goal was an absolute beauty,
