Watch the Big 6, Turkish of AFTV hosts it but it's probably the best all round football podcast around.

I don't watch most youtubers anymore. They're just normal supporters with no real insight. They'll watch a few games and think they know what they're talking about.

The thing that opened my eyes was actually another youtuber talking about a specific player saying that he can't make a judgement on a player yet because he's only watched like 20 games of his. Most youtubers aren't trying to provide analysis, it's just entertainment with a tiny bit of basic commentary sprinkled in there. The goal isn't to educate, it's to get clicks.

You can probably say the same about most mainstream pundits these days, only a few know their onions are worth listening to.

If Kane stays i reckon he could beat Haaland to the golden boot if Kulu has an uptick in form and Maddison supporting behind. I think we are gonna look way more coherent in attack with an additional goal threat through the centre, can't just sit deep and mark Kane and Sonny out the game now. Think Kulu will benefit a lot too, we should do a better job stretching play and bringing everyone into the game.

I reckon Haaland could spend a fair bit of time on an injury table next season tbh, he had a layoff last season and you know all the shithouse teams will be kicking lumps out of him next season. Kane seems to have stayed relatively injury-free for the last couple of seasons so I guess law of averages says he does a hammy or something but he's in his physical prime so he could well play all our games again next season. Again, this is contingent on him staying, but he's shown he can score for fun even in a shite team, and I can't see us being less coherent next season with the addition of Maddison if Kane does decide to stay. Would love to see if he can hit 35 league goals if he stayed, not massively likely but if anyone could do it its Kane.

yea pep managed halland well. although in the big crunch CL and FA cup final haaland was pretty much a passenger. so didnt really need to save him...cost a lot of people the 40 goals in a league bet that did hahahahah.

i agree with your theories. if kane does stay i think hell have his best season yet. maddison has the potential to be a better creator than eriksen, he can actually run with the ball. i always think your playmakers really need to be able to run with the ball at speed, sometimes you have to maneuver the ball to an area of the pitch yourself to open things up. maddison has all the tools to be a great 10.

Your username is correct IMHO.

Haaland played about 700 minutes less and scored 6 more goals. He’s a machine. When was the last time Harry scored a league hat trick too?

If anything I would expect spurs goals to be spread about more rather than having one focal point of each attack.

And I can’t see Harry playing as many minutes as last season if he stays.
 
This is of some interest actually…. He was Bona fide knob as an adolescent…. More poignant as his juvenile polemics were aimed squarely at us

Then he showed signs that he was a full time knob not to been outgrown with the tacky ‘you know who I am mate’ in some bang average nightclub in some equally unremarkable city surround .., i base this on guessing it Coventry or Norwich

We were mostly … yeah we’ll have him but he’s definitely a prick

I’ve read a number of reports on the different occasions he’s made a real mark personality wise.

Ange who’s strength seems to be weighted towards identifying character is well taken with him

So fairplay to him and sounds like we’ve got a bit more than just a quality footballer

Definitely one for the body language experts out there...
A lot of crossed arms and left ear touching...

Not sure exactly what it means, but I think it's summit to do with nervousness or anxiousness (rather than not telling the truth)

Mind you, I assume he knows more than he's letting on to the press room, eh!

Definitely getting Grealish vibes off him...
Maybe he was previously 'misunderstood', but deep down, is a decent guy.

I have always like both Maddison & Grealish. Both extremely talented football players who like to enjoy themselves. Madders has settled down faster than Grealish & I think that is about becoming a Dad.
Maddison wil excel at Tottenham & would look a million bucks playing with Kane.

2017 apparently.

Kane did score in more matches than Haaland though, the Norwegian machine scored loads of hat-tricks.
