Did I hear a few Hugo songs last night?
'He drinks what he wants' was one
Others?

"He drives when he wants" I heard too.
Attempting to put a neutral hat on here, especially difficult after last night. But he is so supremely valuable to his employers and fans that almost whatever the verdict he will continue playing for us as captain.
Not right if he is found to be four times over, but that's the way it is.
At some points it sounded like "he's broken the law" and "he's been on the piss"
Ah yeah forgot about that one - it sounded like "he's still on the piss" to me, which makes sense as the Utd players felt the need to crowd round him during every corner in the first half.
Ah well, weathered it, 3-0 how d'ya like those eggs
Lloris stayed with us in the darker days without never trying an away out while being one of the best in the world. The
Pochettino absolutely fucking loves it doesn't he. That smile on his face and those twinkly little eyes
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
This. Him, Jan and Moussa are now the longest serving members of the first team and have stuck with us through some pretty abysmal times (the 2013-14 season) and have remained despite the fact we haven't won anything yet.
Where's the love rating! He fucked up, and from my fleeting knowledge of the guy I can imagine this would have been causing huge inner turmoil. In the right or wrong with his actions (wrong obviously), to have such support is so important. I doubt Hugo will ever forget that.
It may suit Lloris to not be the over-praised World Cup winner and perfect person. I mean that genuinely. He has the kind of personality that could thrive better and work harder under the radar. Humbled down a bit isn't the worst place to be as long as it is possible to gradually build back up again.
Yeah they usually try and find loop holes though, like camera not calibrated, no speed camera sign etc. I’m sure there are lawyers who would try and pick holes if he is only slightly over but if he is way over fuck all a lawyer can do except try and go down the lines of *stress* or *alcohal dependancy* neither I’m sure Hugo would wish to persue.
Or I won the World Cup a few weeks ago?
Of course it would be bad to reward him with a new contract so close to the drink driving debacle, but when is he getting one?
For all the bustle about tying our important players to contracts instead of signing new ones, only Kane has actually done so. Personally, I disagree with raising Kane's wage immediately to 200k, because a few of the others could legitimately argue that they are as important - Lloris & Eriksen. Our yearly renewal of past years' was a pretty good model.
Anyway, hoping to see Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Lloris, Eriksen and Alli sign new contracts. Heck, if and it is a big if, that the whole wage structure was increased this summer ("ITK" said around the Poch/Kane contract time), then Trippier, Davies, Rose, Wanyama and Dier should also sign new ones - basically the whole squad.
Sissoko should just leave though. Hard to shift him as it is.

Tottenham's Hugo Lloris to miss Watford game with thigh injury
Bit of a weird one this, just after all the drink driving stuff, could it be he needs a rest after the World Cup plus stress?

...or maybe he has a thigh injury?
My guess is that it's genuine. And a break from international duty would be no harm at all.
