Savinho so far ❌ Still a City player

Van Hecke so far ❌ Still a Brighton player

And then we get linked with Tonali and everyones like 😍🤩👏🏽

Why? Can nobody read the room? Can nobody see or remember past years?

Weve only managed to get two freebies through the door so far not spending a single penny and are haggling over a fee for Van Hecke whilst Savinho is held hostage again for the second year in a row, and so many of you want to get excited for Tonali?

I feel for you all because youre all too gullible and are clearly not ready for the inevitable heartbreak of Tonali going to Arsenal or City. I think its all agent talk to alert clubs that Tonali wants out and theyre using Tottenham as the stepping stone and collateral damage for that big move elsewhere

Your big Tottenham accounts will drive the Tonali train but history tells you everything you need to know with where this deal ends up

This is the year when the game of two halves became the game of four quarters. And the greatest sport and event was damaged for fistfuls of dollars. Hydration breaks ruin the game’s flow and frustrates fans and viewers. If hydration breaks were solely about player welfare then they would be linked to the temperature in the stadia. It’s a nonsense having a three-minute break in an air-conditioned arena.

Fifa should long ago have established a working party of coaches, sports scientists, national team doctors and Fifpro to agree a set temperature at kickoff, say 25C, which triggers the breaks. That would prove the breaks were for player welfare. At the moment, and to nobody’s surprise, it is widely accepted that these breaks are for US TV to accommodate commercials. Big bucks for the small screen.

Fifa should have thought more about the effect on games and to fan (and viewer) experience when negotiating. Coaches’ desire for a mid-half tactical time-out masquerading as a drinks stop should be resisted anyway. Games have been played for 150 years without needing such intervention. Coaches can shout instructions. And who says that 22 mins and 67 mins is when a coach needs to intervene anyway. It’s nonsense. It’s about money.

Respected and sane footballing voices from Virgil van Dijk to Mauricio Pochettino have spoken out against the breaks. Fifa should listen to them not appear only to listen to the rustle of dollar bills. It’s important that there is resistance to this from all over. Because if we tolerate this, our TV games could be next. BBC can’t do ads, ITV says it won’t follow its US counterparts. But it has been discussed by TV people. It’ll come one day. #FIFAWorldCup.

Delap

All with good fixtures

@SpursJourno That game state was perfect for him, his finishing let him down but everything else was great. The thing is that in a tight game, if those chances fell to him, he needs to take them.

@F1FantasyHub If you have 3 free transfers for Austria and you use limitless, do you get to keep the extra transfer for the next race?

@JeremyClarkson Just got pinched against the wall and he clipped the wall which pushed him back towards Perez

[Timmy C @bimble81]

@BackheelMedia @DanPordes Such a drop off from the top two

@FPLFocal Is that mouse-a diaby?

@FantasyLeague How does scoring in the European competitions work, with leagues having different scoring systems and differing number of teams in each league, how does it work?

@tomgrundy Hamas must pay for this, it’s on them

@SpursITKhub @SpursOfficial Stupid and deserved to go

[Timmy C @bimble81]

@nickcres That’s not a yellow as an isolated incident, that’s accidental and just a foul. The accumulation of fouls however means that yellow was merited

[Timmy C @bimble81]

@FantasyLeague As you have now told us that our league won’t be ready for the weekend, can we now do sealed bids?
