At last. An endorsement from a Spurs coach that being the bright eyed little boy that your auntie likes to have pop round for high tea on Sundays – isn’t someone you’d want in your football team. Can Mourinho shape Pochettino’s “good boys” into winners?

It spoke volumes that the highlights of last night’s game were a scuffle between our own players at half time and how the coach endorsed it at full time.

Make no mistake, I’m not trying to rewrite history, last night was extremely dull game of football. By the hour mark, canned crowd noises had begun exiting the billion pound stadium.
