Mike Dean?
Christ everyone is so petty. The average grub in most restaurants in Italy is fine but nothing special. You have to root out the good places. Obvioulsy Italian food is wonderful. It is my favourite cuisine in fact but the quality of food in Italy is overrated. Not everywhere serves good food. Btw I have been to Italy over 50 times.
I have to say I somewhat dislike Pochettino's Champion's League obsession.
Of course it is important but the name of the competition is a phoney and it just distorts aspiration.
Important yes but not as significant or telling as winning your domestic league or giving your all in domestic cups when trophies make you a winner regardless of the tournament.
Beware the fall Mr P and rein in the one competition importance, which even getting into the top 4 is centred on.

What exactly are you talking about?
God. Work is dragging already.
Sat here for two hours & it feels like I’ve been here for weeks. Roll on 3.30, an early dart & a mooch over to Wembley

It’s the biggest club competition in the world and the only trophy we haven’t won. The rest of your post is gibberish.
I once had the WORST Bolgnese IN Bologna... true story that!#touristtrapcrap
If I thought he food in a country was average, I’d not visit that country over 50 times. I’d try somewhere else. Maybe that’s just me.
Sorry I don't get your negativity today. We all agreed years ago that its not the 'Champions' League as you didn't have to win your own league to be in it and not as good as the European Cup as it was.
But it is what it is and we have been striving to be in this position for years now. Slowly improving, a couple of steps forward, a couple back at times but we deserve to be where we are now. We have earned our position (although not champions) through merit.
Stop the negativity and enjoy the day and the moment. They don't come round often.
Anyway, dropped the kids off at school, just got to kill time until 3pm when I'm driving up to Hillingdon.
you could almost say it's the thing I love most...
likewise - supposed to be in meetings until 3pm when we escape and head tot he trains to get in, but I think I will only be there physically and not mentally....
Drive up early and sample the match day atmosphere?
Wish I’d got time to kill. In fact I’d kill to have time to kill.
Can’t believe it’s not even 10am yet.
I don't think a team in our position can afford not to be 'obsessed' with the Champions League. How else are we supposed to compete in the transfer window. How else are we supposed to increase our players' wages to both compete with our peers and deter predators? How else are we supposed to fund the stadium redevelopment?
If you want some sense of what building a team and infrastructure capable of achieving a regular top 4 finish is worth, look at the impact last year's CL campaign have had on Leicester's financial health. Their revenues over the past three years have been £104m in 2015, £129m in 2016 and an estimated £233m in 2017.
What do you think the 2018 numbers will look like?
