This seems to be a popular thing to say. But Kane is spectacularly talented. You can’t just become that good at instinctively hitting first-time 40 yard passes by practising a lot.

Harry Kane was never the most talented, not touched by god like so many winners before him. But he is a worthy winner for what he made of himself. The one-season wonder. The boy who started scoring and simply never stopped. Now the king of the world. ⬇️ inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Can’t really begrudge Kane being voted best in world this year. Had Pickford’s arms been longer, we’d have won the World Cup and the choice would have been inevitable.

All this Ballon d'Or chat, and no one is mentioning the undefinable goalscoring midfielder/coach who won the Premier League, World Cup, reaching the Champions League final, and was the World Champions' top scorer in qualification, scoring two key knockout goals in the World Cup from the bench.

Crazy error in the Auxerre v Le Mans game in which a goal was given to Le Mans by Hawkeye despite the ball not crossing the line. Instead, Hawkeye mistook the keeper’s glove for the ball, awarding the goal.

City went on to help themselves to three of those Arsenal players with illegal funds. They already had a couple.

The perfect away performance 😍 ⏪ 14 years ago today, we picked up an impressive 3-0 win at Manchester City

Half term, Sunday, extra hour thanks to clocks, everything cancelled due to weather. Absolutely no reason not to finally have a lie in. 6am *clatter* … “Good Morning Daddy!!!!!!!”

Wild that with only 8 games gone, we’re 8 points clear of Chelsea, 9 clear of Liverpool, 12 clear of Spurs, 14 clear of Utd, and 100 clear of Man City.
