@cosmo_nffc @Harry_Rudkin Kane needs runners not passers. Kane is creative. That is the point. You want him to drop deep and pick the passes, and thats the spaces he likes to occupy. Most his goals come from entering the box fairly late. He doesn't actually want to play on the last man.

@Harry_Rudkin please tell me how the fuck eze gets the best out of kane?? how morgan rogers does??? how bellingham does??? how fucking anthony gordon does??? all of those players are less creative.

just think about this for a second. the englishman with the most goals in the english league isn’t in the england squad. just say it over and over in your head. sickening.

@cosmo_nffc I think Calvert-Lewin should feel pretty pissed as his position essentially went to Toney and he'd feel he can offer something quite similar. But I do get why Toney was preferred. A little bit more swagger and more proven when playing alongside Kane. CL didnt take his chance.

@cosmo_nffc This isn't at all historically unusual or particularly odd. Though I would have selected Gibbs-White. Maybe part of the issue is he is seen to be competing with Bellingham and has really hit success playing from out wide. But doesn't fit the role Tuchel wants from there.

@thecuriousowl25 @DaleJohnsonBBC If you really want a foaming in the moth response just call us "Tottenham Hotspurs"

@DaleJohnsonBBC Can i call them Tottenham Spurs just to mess with them 😀

Tottenham issued a request that they are called Tottenham Hotspur or Spurs. Never just Tottenham. True fact!

@EsteemSeeker77 @PeteGerrard @EFL I dunno. I think it's an issue that can be fairly split. Wembley isn't a particularly good day out for all sorts of reasons. But for sure it can be exciting. But apart from that its an expensive and worse experience than picking a more logical stadium for the game in hand.

@Al_Perring @PeteGerrard @EFL Fair enough. But I think most fans of lower league clubs would rather have a likely once in a lifetime opportunity to see their team play at the national stadium. Only games that Should NOT be played at Wembley are FA Cup Semi Finals, as that takes away the excitement of final.

Wembley should host the @EFL Championship Play Off Final. It should not host League One and League Two!!!! League One & Two could be held at a Championship stadium. The fans would then fill the allocation and create a much better atmosphere.

@EsteemSeeker77 @PeteGerrard @EFL I personally think most fans would rather a stadium that makes sense. A lot certainly dont like dishing out expensive train tickets for a game against two northern sides. The using wembley for everything isn't particularly great.

@PeteGerrard @EFL You’re talking complete crap, as most PL fans do. Said P/O finals Should Always be at Wembley, as it’s likely it’ll be The Only chance most fans of L1 & L2 clubs will get to go. And viable alternatives to Wembley would be PL grounds, such as Emirates, Etihad, Tottenhams ground…

@wozaboxa Kind like an explosive runner rather than a playmaker. Is able to sorta bulldozer himself through central areas and happy to work the channels too. No way near as complete or as good as Bellingham. But Tuchel clearly identified him from the beginning as the CAM he wanted.

@Al_Perring What unique set of skills does Morgan Rogers possess that Bellingham doesn't?

Alan Shearer says England need to drop him....

@KieranMaguire @sidlowe The initial idea was to build the Olympic stadium to then be dismantled into a well sized athletics stadium to replace crystal palace. That would have been a real legacy. Now athletics doesnt really get much pumped into it, and crystal palace has yet to be renovated.

West Ham pay rent of £90,000 a week at the London Stadium. This will halve if the Club are relegated. The stadium, even taking into account the landlord, which is the London taxpayer, earns money from other events, conferencing and catering etc, loses over £1m a week. This is a classic example of big event legacy costs (similar for World Cups in South Africa, Brazil, Qatar etc) where the short term gain is replaced by long term pain. This century only the World Cup in Germany in 2006 has had a positive impact on the economy in terms of Olympics and World Cups, because the stadia and infrastructure were already in place.

@Eyesonly237 @shemsifcb I'm not convinced he really was that good. Never seen a player miss so many sitters. But for whatever reason he just had that ability to generate chance after chance. Fair play to him.

@shemsifcb I remember him being insane that season, I've always been a big fan - decent guy too - but didn't realize just how good he was.

Most prolific seasons in football history 🥇 Mario Gomez (12/13): 1 goal every 64 mins 🥈 Gerd Müller (72/73): 1 goal every 65 mins 🥉 Harry Kane (25/26): 1 goal every 66 mins All played for Bayern that season. Football heritage.

@Ydahellnah @WhatTheForkAVFC What the hell are you talking about? You literally just mean they are not black. Livramento has a lot less claim to be english than, say, Bellingham. Whose parents are both solely british nationals (also have no connection to nigeria at all).

@WhatTheForkAVFC You're the only one bringing up "fully" English. Nobody is fully English, nobody is fully anything. The relevent question is to what extent are they English, and the answer for Kane, Rice, and Livramento is they are all infinitely more English than any Nigerian.

Harry Kane, Declan Rice, and shockingly, Tino Livramento, aren’t ‘fully’ English by this logic. And Oliver George Arthur Watkins (born in Devon) is probably the most quintessentially English name in the England squad. Ffs. 😂 Sick of these racists encouraging each other on this platform, man.

@AaronBastani @surplustakes I can't see any evidence of any WHSmiths open in high streets. It appears some are attached to bus stations, hospitals and sometimes train stations that are street facing which could be interpreted as belonging to the high street. So, that might be what is meant?

@AaronBastani @surplustakes They're rebranded TJ Jones in york. Apart from the train station. In fact, WHSmith seems to have maintained the brand largely in airports, motorways etc. which tbh may explain WHSmith shops resiliency. And makes direct comparison not super duper useful

WH Smiths shops re-branded as TJ Jones (bizarre!) saw sales fall over 10%. Ones that kept their name saw…growth. Dumbest/weirdest re-brand…ever?

@AaronBastani Like who the hell thought the rebrand would be a good idea. I would like to know what the logic was?

@McFlybowy Some fans dont like that he hasn't picked the best players thats fair but I support tuchel here.

@McFlybowy Bayern surrounds Kane with pace and players who push beyond him. In fact he was most effective with a Gnabry or Karl behind him more than a musiala this season. For good reason. Tuchel's whole attacking plan is built around kane. Its what he has done from the start. He gets it.

It’s why Tuchel selection is really baffling, Kane is not the type of striker you isolate high and ask to constantly run channels. His biggest value in the box comes from combination play and timing. The closer your 10s and wingers are to him in the final third, the more dangerous he becomes because he can bounce passes first-time, set lay-offs, and instantly attack the space around the penalty spot. Jude likes carrying into space and arriving dynamically, while Saka is more of a touchline-to-half-space winger who wants isolation situations before combining. They can do it in moments, but it’s not their natural rhythm. Ironically, the profiles that naturally suit Kane most in those tight central combinations are players like Palmer and Foden. They instinctively play close to the striker, operate in pockets, bounce quick passes around the box and constantly look for those little give-and-go situations that Kane thrives on. But those are the guys Tuchel left at home. But we will see what he’s planning.

@emmjcass25 @GBPolitcs @martinjdwareham @Survation Tbf the comments on starmer should help Burnham's campaign. Seeing as the campaigns intention is to oust starmer.

Just to let you know Labour where out canvassing in Hindley Green today and they didn’t receive the warm welcome they was expecting 🤣🤣🤣 the one that makes me laugh the most was when they got called a shower of shit and refered to Starmer as simple simon honestly wiganers are ruthless 🤣

@dave43law @GBPolitcs @Survation According to the British polling Council they expect a minimum of 1000 responses for a national poll to be accurate. Thats across 46 million people. Thats 0.00208%.
