Why are any of you listening to talksport in the first place? Its like you enjoy being wound up. Then complaining about it
I enjoy listeners being would up and phoning in. I take everything they say with a huge pinch of salt. It's all an act from Durham, and his guests are literally told to read from a script a lot of the time.

The more you listen, the easier it is to not get sucked in to it all.

Off topic from the recent posts, but I'd like to see Cardiff get promoted soon so he can get rid of that blotch on his record of scoring against every team he's played against in the Prem. Cardiff being the only team he hasn't scored against

I could live with that stat if it meant Cardiff never being in the Prem again. Vile supporters.

Kane had so many options when the keeper blundered. That second goal is exactly what he should be doing.

If anyone is wearing rose tinted glasses it's the ones thinking he's not greedy. Just look at his teammates when he doesn't always choose the right option.

Don't get me wrong, Kane is a god but if I had to pick his weakness its his decision making.

Because he scored. If he ran straight into a defender (which he sometimes does) people would have said he should have laid it off instead of trying to do it all on his own. Thats my point.

A Kane who's first instinct is to look for a pass is less use to us than the Kane we have got. We are just going to have accept that the Kane we have comes with this attribute, its unlikely to change and if it did it would be detrimental to his performance and ultimately the teams.

Lukaku needs everybody to serve him in the penalty area, incapable of creating something on his own outside the box. Kane grabs the ball, tricks 2-3 defenders and fires of successful shots before he has even breached the opponent's box. Hence, IMO, Kane is the better player.
Kane has 9 more goals than Lukaku this year. To put that in perspective Messi has less than that more than Kane and has played more games

Ooooooooh gossip! Do tell, young Spurger :geek:

Regularly smashing up Bristol, threw bricks at Spurs' supporters coaches, smashing car windows, threatening kids wearing kits of opponents, just your general troglodyte-brained actions typically associated with twattish fans.

As much as i hated him, henry was able to score shitloads and still make simple square passes for others to tap in when je could have probably scored himself

Kane does nees to inprove that side of his game slightly.

Would kane rather pass to a player to give that player a 99% chance of scoring or would he rather take the shot on if it gave kane a 75% chance to Score? We all hope he does the former..

Disappointed in the stupid comment from Ginola this morning on TS regarding this RM interest in Kane.
He said 'we said the same about Bale' when asked would he go.
Err??? No we didn't. Why would Bale want to stay at Spurs? Was he born in London? Was he a Spurs fan since a child? Did he come through Spurs academy? Are Bales family Spurs fans and London born and breed?
There's absolutely no fkin comparison in the 2 players. Add to that weve a new stadium we need to fill and its a no brainer.
I know its all bollocks anyway but annoying a Spurs legend would say something so stupid.

Think you are overreacting a bit. We (and the club directors) repeatedly did say that Bale wouldn't leave. It is simply a comparison between the club's response to rumoured interest, not a factor by factor comparison between the players. If one were to draw comparisons between the players, loads of shite along the lines that you laid out about Kane were said about Bale. He (supposedly) loved being home, he would go home to Wales to see his family during time off rather than jetting off somewhere exotic, he loved the club, he loved AVB, he loved London, he would never leave one club where he was the star to struggle for playing time at another club etc. etc. etc.

Don’t forget Bale naming his kid after AVB...

Suckers :whistle:

Oh well hopefully Janssen will have found his shooting boots in Turkey, just in time to come back for us to play against Harry and Madrid next year.

Harry Kane cooking up winning menu with personal chef | Daily Mail Online

  • Role model Harry Kane has hired his own personal chef to give him an edge
  • Kane is keen to maximise performance on the pitch for Tottenham and England
  • The 24-year-old striker does not drink alcohol during the football season
  • Chef is response to fatigue experienced in last year's European Championship
The last permanent England captain might now need to employ a driver but the man most likely to succeed him has opted instead for a chef.

Fortunately for Gareth Southgate, Wayne Rooney's off-the-field problems are no longer his concern, and it was clear how delighted England's manager was to hear his skipper for Thursday evening's World Cup encounter with Slovenia presenting himself in a rather more positive light.

Harry Kane does appear to be a coach's dream, and not just because he is fast emerging as one of the finest striker's in world football. It is the dedication and professionalism that accompanies his considerable ability.

He has worked out, and it is depressing how many talented athletes are slow to grasp this, that a top level sports career can be all too brief. It is why he has hired a chef who, he explained on Wednesday, has educated him on not just what to eat but when to eat it in order to maximise performance on a football pitch.

Kane was already a model professional. He is unlikely to emulate Rooney in driving a car while over the legal alcohol limit anytime soon because he doesn't drink during the season. To Kane a night of excess is a bowl of 'apple crumble'.

But the chef was a response to the fatigue he was enduring by the time he arrived in France for last year's European Championship, and it certainly seems to have paid off judging by the 13 goals he has scored in his last eight games.

'It kind of clicked in my head that a football career is so short,' he said. 'It goes so quickly you have to make every day count.

'So over the last year or so I've changed a lot off the pitch, particularly with the nutrition side of it. I have a chef at home to help me eat the right food, and help with recovery.

'You can't train as hard as you'd like when you have so many games, so you have to make the little gains elsewhere. That will help me going into a tournament year, with my body and my recovery.'

The identity of the chef was not something he was prepared to reveal. Perhaps for fear of him being lured away by a rival offering better terms. But he said the individual in question has a background in sports nutrition that has been enormously valuable.

'He's learned his trade,' said Kane. 'Someone I know recommended him and when I got him round and spoke to him it blew me away. I'd never looked too much into it, but when he explained what the body does and how he could help me recover... he helped me in the recovery from injury too, with certain foods I was eating. It opened my eyes.

'I met the guy in December. We had a baby on the way. We knew that would take up a lot of time. I was cooking, my missus was cooking, the food was getting boring. So I started doing it on January 1 this year; a new year's resolution, if you like, making plans around training.'

Rarely since becoming England manager had Southgate had an easier press conference. He was happily sitting there in silence. But he did feel the need to interrupt if only to save Kane from a hostile reception on his return home from international duty.

Southgate thought it necessary to stress Kane was talking about his own cooking being bland rather than his partner's. 'Yeah, just mine,' Kane quickly added, head in hands.

Southgate was nevertheless impressed. 'He's absolutely the kind of role model you want,' he said of Kane. 'You're talking about a player trying to maximise his ability, finding every edge.

The marginal gains make a difference at this level. He wants to become one of the best in the world. For me, that's a mindset that will inspire others. The more people like that in my squad, it starts to become a self-fulfilling prophecy with everyone striving for more.'

This evening is, of course, about securing England's place at next summer's World Cup, by beating a Slovenia side Southgate recognises as potentially dangerous opponents who have proved themselves 'difficult to score against'.

A year ago they held England to a goalless draw, after all, and the absence of the suspended Dele Alli at Wembley is sure to make the task that little bit tougher Raheem Sterling will deputise for Alli in that central role on the back of some fine displays for Manchester City.

Role models nevertheless remain important, and this week Southgate continued the theme of inviting ex-players to speak to his squad by asking Alan Shearer to address them.

'I think it's really valuable for the players to hear the experiences of former England internationals,' said Southgate. 'And I want them to appreciate that being in the team now is a great honour because you're just one of many who have worn the shirt.'

Kane certainly gets it.

And now I am sure there will be tonnes of rehashes of articles citing Kane will leave Spurs sooner than later eyeing for trophies!

Every time we are about to play a big team, our players get linked to them. Easy clicks for the scumbag rags.
