Hope they all pull out. See what playing for England in the summer has done to them.

They've all just spent the entire fucking summer together and are probably sick of the sight of one and other (not just the Spurs players), i fucking hate having an international break barely 4 weeks into a new domestic season it's ridiculous. I've said it before have a calendar for domestic season then when it's finished have a nice chunky block for international fixtures.

Agreed so the qualifiers themselves almost become a mini tournament. We could shorten the season by about 4 weeks with no international breaks

Maybe we should focus on more African players so we're not disrupted so much

Then the African Nations Cup will take it's toll on us.

New manager, same predictable squad. What happened to "I will players on form"

Not singling him out but what has Deli Alli done thus far to warrant a call up? There are of course others.
