A Rose without thorns is like love without heartbreak

A little bit of Friday culture

I can't praise a Spurs player easily, but have to after Danny Rose's goal last night

Spurs won 5-0 in the Europa League last night and look like they are building a very good team, even if Willian decides to go to Chelsea for Champions League football (or money, you decide). Danny Rose scored a really good goal (check it out on YouTube here), and it made me think about a goal he scored in the north London derby a few years back.

Cracking technique - and something that every young kid dreams of. take it away Danny...

 

*see how I enticed you with the promise of culture? And instead you just got another great goal. It has nothing to do with me losing interest in the literature part of it at all...I promise.

Battle of the hair

Now it seems that Spurs are about to sign Willian - making it another target that Liverpool and Arsenal have missed out on. I do wonder if Daniel Levy and AVB just wait until other teams find players they want, then offer double the wages.

It also suggests that Spurs are about to sell Gareth Bale. As we suggested in this article at the end of July, it may not be bad for Tottenham. They have seemingly already spent the money - as there is no other place they can be getting it as they didn't qualify for the Champions League again.

Another attacking midfielder joins the league. They seem to be flavor of the month, but it makes sense for Spurs after they sold Clint Dempsey and are finally realizing that Gylfi Sigurdsson is rubbish.

Maybe it's coincidence, but if Willian does come to the Premier League, then David Luiz could be off - there's just not enough room for all that hair!
