Love the kid but he's only just finding his feet for us, just getting back to fitness, he doesn't need this right now.

Yeah the confidence boost of being selected by your country is going to do him harm. How dare they award his efforts.

It's probably harder to get in the Tottenham squad right now than the England one so no big deal really.

Anyone checked if noble is ok?

I'm sure he's fine, in fact I'm sure he's tucked up in bed in his west ham jim-jams having his missus read him a bed time story about how west ham on the world cup as we speak.

Not sure if intentional or not, but I'm fucking dying here because you wrote his name with no caps...

:ROFLMAO:

'mark noble' - I will never ever write his name in any other way now.

Called into England squad

Poch's influence over Southgate imo.

I'm a huge fan of Harry's. Plays like a seasoned pro already, great temperament on and off the pitch, excellent technique and awareness on it etc. Convinced he'll become a top player.

Grats to the lad for his senior call up.

Christ if we have anymore players called up for national they will have to rename the England squad Tottenham B

Oh sarcasm, you clever boy, I bet your mum plants a kiss on your bot-bot every night and tells you you're special.

Clearly, to anybody not behaving like a condescending arse wipe, my trepidation is based on the fact that it's a very big leap for a boy who has played only a handful of games for us, 39 in total, with just 24 in the league and most of those off the bench.

Perhaps it's even possible that, with him having been injured for a long time and until a week ago looking very off the pace, I feel that a sudden new stress to throw at him is not necessary, especially when he's unlikely to even get any minutes. At least with the u21s he'd have gained match fitness wihout any 'first England call up' spotlight.

I think the boy has great potential, but giving him an England call up when he's done nothing to earn it and is barely out of the roughest patch of his career to date is hugely premature in my opinion, I want to see him at least establish himself as Spurs first choice beforehand.

no problems

If he's got what we think he's got he'll be fine

great experience for the kid

The fuck was Delph doing in the England Squad anyway, half of SC are better midfielders than him

Delph is actually playing well under Pep

Totally true however it just goes to show how poor the national team is and how there is such a limited talent pool to chose from.

Christ, he's 21 years old. I'm sure he can handle the stress of sitting on a bench.

I can handle the stress of burning my tongue on my morning coffee, doesn't take away from the fact that it's no an ideal way to start my day at work. Just because he can deal with something, doesn't mean it's the best thing for him.

Is it really beyond people that it might not be the best thing for a player who has started fewer than ten club league games, and produced a mixed bag in that time, to reward him with an international call up? Is the concept that he'd be better off learning that such things are earned with consistently good performances really that hard to grasp?

I think the call up is a good thing for him and he'd be relishing the opportunity personally, can only be a good thing even if he doesn't play, it's great experience and a very good confidence booster.

Streetspur77 · Oct 2, 2017

Usually I'd laugh at how a few good games get you an England call up but this time I really think this is more a sign of how much trust Southgate has in poch and if poch thinks he's got it Southgate is willing to take the risk

Southgate said something earlier in the week about pochs fitness regime so I reckon there is a relationship there, not surprising considering how many recent England players have come from poch

Fuck that, I'm more worried he'd pick up bad habits playing for that shower of shite than I'm worried about his mental well being.

Be careful, my mom loves handing out kisses and she is one hell of a hacker, so finding your bot-bot shouldn't be an issue.

As for your logic, I just don't see the reasoning. How is training with the countries best a bad move? Do you actually think Poch is in the club house saying "you don't deserve this call up and it isn't best for your career".

Now where is my mom...
