It is easy when everything is good to be there, but when the winter is coming it’s easy to run away. I want to be there on the front line, fighting and trying to win.
“I feel the responsibility to be here and that is why I am. And then because I am happy and I think Tottenham gave us, all the staff, a lot of things that always we will be grateful for. It was a moment to say ‘we are going to be with you all, fighting in the circumstances’ because we knew what was going to happen.”
Asked whether the failure to add to his squad, together with the uncertainty over when the cub will move into the new stadium and the fact so many of his players were away at the World Cup, makes this season the hardest of Pochettino’s time at Tottenham, he replied: “I think yes.
“For everything, for me it will be the toughest season and I think if we want success we have to give more than our best. It’s not enough 100 per cent, it’s 200 per cent. We know from inside that it will be hard, the season, and because we are warriors we want to fight.
“We want to be proud at the end, we want success and we do not want to complain or make excuses. I am a winner and I love the challenge, so that is why I feel full of energy. We want to go again.”

KDB out for three months.
City say De Bruyne, 27, has a lateral collateral ligament lesion in his right knee, but does not need surgery.
'Lateral collateral ligament lesion' was Tool's 'New Yersey' iirc

Watched the first episode of the Amazon City documentary. It's essentially a Pep hagiography, and the fact that season went so well for them makes it inherently less interesting, but the level of access is impressive

0 - Kenedy failed to complete a single pass in the first half against Cardiff City - he is the first outfield Premier League player to fail to complete a single pass in 45+ minutes of play since Nikola Kalinic against Birmingham City in March 2010.

he was probably their best player in the last game
― Number None, Saturday, 18 August 2018 12:52 (seven years ago)
Update: he just completed a pass! Straight red for Hayden. .
― calzino, Saturday, 18 August 2018 12:56 (seven years ago)
Kennedy caps off a completely shit performance with a lame str8 down the middle pen with the last kick of the game!
― calzino, Saturday, 18 August 2018 13:31 (seven years ago)

I'm at Wembley and I'm excited about seeing Shop Window Toby.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 18 August 2018 13:39 (seven years ago)

Alli less than useless

Trippier can do this regularly, apparently? It’s an amazing talent to have seemingly developed recently.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Saturday, 18 August 2018 15:38 (seven years ago)
anyone that can hit a deep cross first time can hit a fk imo
maybe he needed the chance for england to even get near the ball for spurs tbf
― flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 15:39 (seven years ago)
I think Wolves have so far spent more time playing against ten men than eleven and have still somehow failed to win.

"are you Wenger in disguise" didn't last long!

I was watching this game live - pissed, admittedly - and didn't notice but Kante seems to have got forward a lot?
― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 18 August 2018 21:38 (seven years ago)
yeah was the same last week
― flaneur brayin (darraghmac), Saturday, 18 August 2018 21:40 (seven years ago)
As yet I still can't hear the name Sarri without automatically thinking of the Sarry Heid...
