I'm sure the question may have been asked before but with Son in our team you would think Levy would look to capitalise on the Korean market more than just with ticket sales, I'm surprised we haven't got more Korean sponsorship. However two things I did see when I was in Korea in October was Spurs jerseys and spurs sun cream.

I lived in Korea for a couple years and some of my old Korean mates tell me Poch is public enemy number 1 out there cos Son doesn't start every match.

My Mrs is Korean when he plays she is die hard fan as soon as he is subbed she loses interest.

I've been told that for the past year, Lamela has been public enemy number 1 due to him often playing instead of Son, or being subbed on for him

He seems to get subbed off for Sissoko all the time. At least in previous seasons.

Came across this 2 year old video from Soccer AM. How can you not love Son and Dele?

It just creases me up that the cameras pan to a supporter holding a South Korean flag EVERY time he plays. I'm still unsure if it's broadcasters trying to push a stereotype about Asians being fanatical over successful players or if they're getting money from the South Korean tourist board.

Kane dropping back the whole time this season pretty much is THE problem as far as our attacking fluidity is concerned. Worrying that Poch hasn’t fixed that yet.

Don't think its something that needs to be fixed as its obviously something that is intended. When kane comes short normally son/lucas would fill the striker role, It has worked a treat for us a lot of times this season as Kane doesn't have the type of pace Lucas/Son has to run off defenders

Seems like a weird thing to get upset over.

Towards the Arsenal fans. You boo the Son, you get burnt
