@SussexTottenham @nicholaslines Never building a team that could win doesn’t really fit with all those “how did we not win anything with this team?” Posts I see. Who’s wrong?

@nicholaslines No He is a bad guy for never building a team around our best players. For raising ticket prices above inflation - but then blaming inflation Cutting OAP and disabled people concessions. Winning nothing in 25 years burning through manager after manager Pretty daming mate

@SussexTottenham He does much wrong, Levy, but getting Kane back to his home ground, with a top European side, for a preseason friendly that he charges relative peanuts for us not one of those occasions

@SussexTottenham It’s an absolute bargain. It’s one of the only chances I’ll get to take my kids as the stadium, with its much bigger capacity than the old, is sold out every game. And loads of ex players who move on, many having given less than 10 years service, come back for friendlies

Once upon a time people stayed in the village or town they were born in. The horse & cart came, people became more mobile & moved to the next town. Then with railways it was moving counties, to the city for work. Then with passenger ships & planes it was countries. That’s all

@georgeachillea Maddison is doing well to be in that line up. Rather than, say Kulu at the point. Of the 3.

I love Sarr to bits but the more I watch Bergvall the more I feel like we need to start a Bissouma x Bergvall x Maddison trio at the start of the season… Add Eze into the fold and Gray providing competition for Biss… 👀 Healthy competition.

@InvertTheWing Can’t be any good. Doesn’t get in the England team ahead of Saka or Foden. Like Porro doesn’t ahead of Navas. Right?! 😉

First full season, by the way, and he produced THIS. I do not think people will be able to fathom the heights he achieves this season. If he wasn’t already a world beater to you, he will prove it this season.

Djed Spence is getting absolutely destroyed by Serge Gnabry on the left, I have no problem admitting that. But why are people acting like Pedro Porro isn't also getting destroyed by Mathys Tel on the right? Mind you, he is also constantly backing off and finding himself out of position as a result. Spence looks worse because he is overcomitting.

@InvertTheWing When Saka starts over Palmer for England does that mean Palmer is no good / worse than Saka then?

Tottenham fans will not answer why Pedro Porro, the right back who could not get an international call up over 38 year old Jesus Navas, is the man to take them forward. But yes, he is a brilliant player.

@danjhodges03 @nonoothfc Top 3 right backs in the league that can't even get called up for international duty over 38 year old Jesus Navas? Deary me.

The sport is genuinely ruined. You have defenders being terrible at their role for 70 minutes, getting absolutely dominated, shying away from their battles, then they score a 0.01xG shot and suddenly it is a good performance. Shocking. This obsession with goals has ruined the sport.

@WoodyFuts @fullback03 And yes, brilliant opponents. The best. But so much better than him that in almost any modern era he wouldn’t be the best player of his generation. He’s top 20 or 15 ever in his sport. We have others who are top, top 3 top 5 in theirs.

@WoodyFuts @fullback03 They do of course, but there isn’t an equivalent so I left it out. Faldo is the 2nd all time points winner in the Ryder cup. My point is Murray was brilliant. But best ever Brit? I’m not sure he’s top 5

@greay10 @WoodyFuts @fullback03 He has. Brilliant performance. But all top sportsmen have opponents. Not like Faldo got 97 weeks at the top against no one, Ballesteros, Norman, Watson all all time greats.

@WoodyFuts @greay10 @fullback03 He’s done brilliantly. He’s our best tennis player. It’s not that I don’t rate tennis, and Murray has been up against the best ever, but he’s top 20 in the open era probably If he’d been up against Sampras, Borg, McEnroe, Lendl, Becker, Agassi, Conners, they’d have beaten him too

@greay10 @bencooper77 @fullback03 Maybe not my personal choice for greatest sportsman but to dismiss him just says you don’t rate tennis. He’s in the conversation.

@8Cherrington403 @fullback03 “One of Britain’s greatest…” “Britain’s greatest tennis player”. Either totally correct, both still huge accolades. Claire could have said either of those.

@BBCSport Athlete re Olympics? Daley Thompson - back to back Decathlon 🥇 , breaking the event record 4x, & unbeaten in 9 years. If we’re talking ANY sport, too many to mention ie O’Sullivan, Hamilton, Taylor, Kenny x2, Lewis x2, Hoy, Wiggins, Faldo, Wilkinson, Giggs, AP McCoy, Anderson…

@BBCSport Love him but no. Compare him even to Sir Nick Faldo. Faldo world no.1 for 97 weeks and 6 major titles. Murray no.1 41 weeks and 3 majors. Ryder Cup vs Olympics. Murray is probably a top 20 open era tennis player. He’s great, but not our greatest.
