Some time ago, we established that the phrase ‘parking the bus’ was a fundamentally unthinking phrase, a former Saints’ player Danny Higginhbotham was quoted as saying that under Mourinho, that Spurs were simply ‘organised’.
Alan Hutton (late of this parish) told The Boy Hotspur that what José asks for and often achieves was “called being technically very good and defensively sound.” Maybe these former players know less than fans sat in their distempered front rooms, demanding to be entertained?
After last night’s superb 1-3 win away at Bramhall Lane, Harry Kane has added to the evidence stacking up against those seeking to find fault with the Portuguese Pulis at every turn.
England captain Kane was quoted by the MailOnline as telling us precisely what was clear to those of us who can see. This season has been an extremely unusual one, and Mourinho has only had one window -something we’ll scrutinize later today. Whilst that might sound like a stale task, it’s clear by what many fans are posting online, that we need to revisit some basics.
Tottenham went into fourth last night and suddenly, all the angst looks a little overplayed, no?
