Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
In the last month or so, definitely
Why do people continue to denigrate one of our players who runs his heart out, to make a point? There is room for both in our team/squad.I remember when people here use to flame me for saying Son should start over Lamela every game.
Need full SK match streams.... Much rather listen these coms than the rancid bullshit we get served up each week.

Without starting another war, I'm not sure what you think the point being made is?
"Running your heart out" is a pretty low bar for a PL pro. I'd expect them to be able to do this (10 - 11K per match), along with controlling, heading, tackling etc. Usain Bolt who always "runs his heart out" failed in some semi-Pro Aussie league - so clearly running a lot (or even fast) can't be counted as an important criteria.
Son, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Alderwiereld, Lloris, Winks, Sissoko, Rose were pretty good today. Lamela, Lucas and Eriksen weren't. Pointing out the evidence of your eyes, and then discussing it, is what the forum is for. We don't have to agree.
Some members think there are hidden agendas at play. There aren't, just opinions. Each one as valid as anyone elses.
Love him.
Sonny for player of the year? Not a lot of genuine contenders this year, 2 or 3 to pick from
Of course people are entitled to their opinions, and if I don't agree, I'm not one for pressing the disagree button. However, in this particular case, I felt that the post was a dig at Erik, when there was no call for it. Erik played his part in our win today, he was unlucky with his header against the post.
VvD will probably win it, because Liverpool reacharound, but it’d be nice for Son to get the recognition he deserves and be on the shortlist.
I assumed he meant Spurs poty...
Shame about Jan's injury, cos he's been a classy as ever (Bad call to bring him back for the NLD imo).
Not if they implode
:avbpray:
Agreed, Son wouldn’t be able to carry us like Bale did back then.
‘13 Bale is the better player, but I believe Son is the better fit for our squad.
Bale scored 55 goals for us in 203 games.
Son has scored 61 goals in 170 games.
Of course this doesn't take into account the early Bale years when he was playing as a left back, or the fact that he scored 26 goals in 44 games in his final season for us.
But Bale scored 12, and 11 goals respectively in the 2 seasons before his last. Sons last 2 seasons have been 21 and 18, and he is currently on 14.
So you can say that Son is a better goalscorer than Bale was in all but Bale's last season for us... but all in all a very interesting comparison.

Bale was a superstar. I love Sonny and think he's finally getting the recognition his quality with both feet deserves but watching Bale explode into a wonder in our shirt was an absolute joy.
Don't think I've ever seen a more frightening player play for us during that growth spell of his. Absolutely wonderful to watch
ochfacepalm:
Not sure what you're trying to say here pal. Care to elaborate?
I'm not a fan of comparing players, especially ones in different eras. Bale was a great player to watch, and it would have been a fair assessment to say we were a bit of a one-man team back then. But we still didn't manage to win anything with him in the side, and the way he left was pretty disappointing. Sonny is more of a team player, maybe because he has better players to play with.
I'm sure there's nothing untoward here, but why is he stroking that child's face as if she were a cat?
