I think it's a general theme with football, or even just life I guess. The grass is greener over there is definitely better, and the grass that we used to have access to is way better than the current stuff. But if we get that grass back, it's going to take a while to get back to it's original lushness, as I won't let myself consider that I might have been wrong in my initial assessment.

Great analogy, if anyone wants to pay me big bucks to guest star on a podcast, you know where I am.

With Richy, I just have that feeling it'll click when we leaves us, in form and fitness. It's not exactly the same but like whoever replaced Ferguson, doomed to failure to step into Kane's footsteps whilst the talisman left behind was slowly dwindling too.

Now it's just a fun mini game / side quest, there's a flow chart - Did Spurs lose? Obviously. Well did Richy still score? Yes. And did it upset a bunch of Spurs fans who decided a while ago that he wasn't up to scratch and like to pretend goals are an irrelevant stat when it suits them? Abso'f#ckinglutely. Recommended and most reasonable course of action = Tell those fans to consider crying more.

I personally hope we keep this mini game going on as you've got to take some enjoyment out of supporting this club, but understand if he moves on (presumably back to Everton and scores 15/20 whilst finishing above us, getting booked at the Spurs stadium for doing a tediously long pigeon celebration after scoring a hatrick against us securing CL football for Moyes).

Haha enjoyed this post! As for last night, considering he has not had any real game time since coming back from injury he did ok I thought. Oh and scored, you could be forgiven for forgetting that is one of the main criteria for a CF watching us these days - we do at least have one striker who does actually have a knack of getting goals but of course he seems unable to go more than a few games without getting injured.....

He has never in his life scored 15-20 🤣🤣🤣

He never will. He's an ok player but damn if this is the standard that is acceptable we might as well have no standards.

Honestly, slowly but surely, season after I notice the degrade in the general quality of squad and whenever I point these things out I'm told I'm being to harsh, no I'm just honest and have no time for lie to myself.

14, 15 and 13 at Everton although that's in all competitions. Obviously the hope was to have him at his prime and those numbers would rise, which evidently hasn't been the case.

I also feel like the general whimsical sods law nature of the bit in brackets has been somewhat wasted on you, I'm surprised you didn't say he's never been booked for doing the pigeon celebration either, backed up with numerous smiley emojis that really strengthen your point.

I don't know if it's too harsh as such, you're welcome to your views and can repeat them as many times as you'd like if it makes you feel good. I moan about our midfielders probably just about as much as you do about particular players. The squad is pretty mediocre, we definitely agree on that! Spurs fans always have this idea that we've got the best X or Y in the league, at times we've had special players where it was partially true but now it's mainly dross.

I got the whimsical bit I just wanted to cut through all the faff. 😅

15 in all comps is mediocre, I'm just not afraid to say it as it is. There's really not much more to it than that tbh. We definitely agree that the squad is rated as better than it is in general by Spurs fans, I guess that's just what it is.
