A Letter From Mauricio Pochettino

[spurs mental]

I got married last Thursday, 23rd. My dad, also a big Spurs fan, was my best man and during his speech he had my brother read this letter out. It was lovely surprise and meant a lot to me.

I wanted to share it with you as I think it's pretty cool.

I'll be getting the original framed.

Dude that made me smile. Maybe it's a form letter- maybe not- but who cares, it's cool. I love Poch so much it's scary lol; if he started a cult, I would probably join lol.

Good luck on your marriage btw, and if I can give you one piece of advice (having been married for almost twenty years), it's this: love her the way she is right now, 'cause she will never, EVER change. She is who she is; accept it or perish.

You're wrong, they do change. I have been married 45 years, The more mature they become the more beautiful they are.

I knew I'd get blowback for saying this, but I still maintain that- despite other changes- their core personality/temperament/outlook remains the same. I'm not even saying that's necessarily a bad thing, just that in my experience it's the way they are. YMMV.

It Is a form letter for sure, I've seen it posted on Twitter once or twice. I don't care. I like you adore the man

Its not blowback mate, you youngsters have got so much on your mind these days, I thought you forgot!!!! I think my wife has been influenced by my traits, equally I have picked up on some of hers. By the way what is YMMV? not used to this modern day language!

Mate it's got your name on it, that's what counts.

Your Mileage May Vary; i.e., what's true for me might not be for you. Btw, the first person to tell me the advice I relayed to the OP was an 80-year-old Holocaust survivor who'd been married for 50 years! So what I said did not originate from the mind of a youth!

Anyway, in my case it's true; my wife is fundamentally the exact same person I married, only with age/experience-related differences. At her core she hasn't changed one iota. I'm still trying to figure out whether that's good or bad...

Somehow being quoted in the press seems to have cheapen this wonderful sentiment
