Yeah, just struck me as a reason to be cheerfulwas gonna put this in his player chat,but will do it here!!
He is our future captain,the right playing position,the right attitude/drive/mentality,he is our millenial Perryman,and that is high praise indeed as StevieP is my all time fav spurs player.To think merely a year ago all the wailing as we didnt sign schneidelin and we dared to play Dier as DM in front of nabil...well that turned out well.(unless you are nabil ofc!)

Goalkeeper Lloris is still not convinced that Pochettino's young side have reached their peak yet
Lloris says the best is yet to come from his Spurs team despite their stunning demolition of Manchester City on Sunday.
Mauricio Pochettino's side were comfortable winners despite missing a second-half penalty at White Hart Lane.
It ended City's six-match winning run and laid down a marker for Tottenham's title credentials.
But Lloris is still not convinced that Pochettino 's young side have reached their peak yet.
The France keeper said: "I don’t want to say that as we have had some great performances at the club, particularly last season.
"I think we did quite well against the best teams in the League. Following last season, I think we are still learning, we are a young team, we have a lot of talent.
"We have some strong basics which help us to get confident in this type of game and I think we were rewarded because we worked so hard. Every day this gives us enjoyment."
I had a little search earlier on the ages of some of our key players.......there are now quite a few getting towards their mid late 20's...which is still young for me, but in football terms they will be peaking now. Our defence are the oldest at the club and we will need new Toby's, Jan's and Hugo's in the next few years.....I know we have upcoming cover in the CCV's and Wimmers of this world but by the time the new stadium comes around in a couple of years we're probably going to need some new blood to defend the PL title....
Mauricio Pochettino admits he is surprised that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has seemingly blamed Danny Rose for injuring Hector Bellerin at the end of the north London derby.Arsene Wenger: "Hector Bellerin is out for 4 weeks. He got injured in the last 10 seconds vs. Spurs. A very strong tackle from Danny Rose."

Brilliantly dealt with by Poch, as ever. Typical myopic comment from Wenger, as ever...Mauricio Pochettino admits he is surprised that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has seemingly blamed Danny Rose for injuring Hector Bellerin at the end of the north London derby.
Wenger announced today that Gunners full-back Bellerin has been ruled out for “about four weeks”, adding: “He was injured in the last 10 seconds against Spurs - a very strong tackle from Danny Rose.”
Pochettino was unaware of Wenger’s statement and the wording when he spoke to reporters at his own press conference today but, when informed that Wenger had criticised Rose for the incident, he expressed his surprise and branded the comment “very strange”.
“I respect Arsene Wenger a lot. After 20 years as a manager in one place, at Arsenal, I respect that a lot,” he said. “But for me what happens on the pitch is never about bad intentions, it’s about football.
“I stopped my career 10 years ago and I feel like it was last month. I totally understand when the players are playing with passion, like Danny or anyone in our team. We are always aggressive in our play and sometimes things happen because football is very aggressive – it’s a contact sport, always. You cannot avoid the contact.
“It is strange, if the comments are true, that after 20 years he should criticise this.
“Two days ago Danny Rose suffered a bad tackle from Carvajal but that is football. If today maybe Danny comes in for training and says ‘I cannot play on Saturday’ I cannot criticise Carvajal because it’s a game - or Vardy for the tackle on Azpilicueta.
“We want all players to be like a man, be aggressive, tackle, always. But intention to injure the opponent? In football you know sometimes you cannot stop, you arrive late and you cannot criticise every single tackle.
“It is very strange, that comment, but I fully respect him.”
I was in the same hotel what I am in at the moment in Gran Canaria, I was not having a nice time up until them as I had watched the dippers game with some plastic dipper fans who were cunts, hearing the AVB news cheered me up a bit because I was very umpty with him. I was having a nice time this year until I looked at the weather forecast, it is going to fucking rain! I will pretend to be enjoying myself so Mrs D has a nice holiday, which is unlikely because she has got the flu, I had a jab because I am old and doddery and heart attacky so have only got grumpyitis. Another big win on Sunday will do nicely to improve my grumpiness.Another reason on this day 2013 AVB managed his last game for us,not so cheerful was the scoreline if anyone cares to remember it!
We can set a new club record tonight for the most points in a calendar year in the premier league

But no way,Poch out !!!
And we all know what we went on to achieve by the end of that season!!!!!!Last time we scored 4 goals in two consecutive away league games was October 1960 v Nottm Forest 4-0 & Newcastle 4-3.
End of.In case anyone was wondering this is how we compare to last season after 20 matches:
15/16 P20 W9 D9 L2 GF34 GA16 GD18 PTS36
(Arsenal were top with 42, Leicester had 40)
16/17 P20 W12 D6 L2 GF39 GA14 GD25 PTS42
(Chelsea top with 49, Liverpool have 44)
After careful consideration, much thought and no respect to a bunch of trolls on another site, I rate this achievement so far as fucking brilliant.
This is a fact.
