The bin in the corner of Ole' Gibbsy's box room:
Where's that from mate?Heard he's also lost his pet dog aswell as trouble with his brother and hip injury
He loves that dog, didn't he post a pick of his dog in a Spurs shirt last season or something?
Agreed.I sometimes wonder about the influence of stuff like this. We expect footballers to churn out good performances, but they're people like you and me, and things going on in their personal life will affect them.
I know my performance dipped at work when I was going through bad times with my ex. Sounds trivial, but losing a pet is the kind of thing that can really hurt someone. Given that his brother is in hospital too I'd say he needs time to get his head right, and I'm glad that this looks like what we're doing.

Tried to find where I read it but a quick search on google has come up empty.. Was from a pro Spurs source so shouldn't have been bs.Where's that from mate?

I've lost dogs. I go to work when I do. I'm very very sad, for a long time, don't get me wrong ... but I go to work
& I don't get paid hundreds of thousands a month either, with the burden of responsibility that implies
No. I was just musing about the dog thingI am assuming you are forgetting that his brother was apparently involved in a car wreck?

Thought it was a hip injury.What is actually wrong with him? Has Poch confirmed what kind of injury he has? Been out for an awful long time now.
