Today, a gentleman who (coincidentally) sounded remarkably like Gary Mabbutt rang into a talkSPORT show, to express his despair about watching Tottenham under José Mourinho.
The two most surreal moments for me were the caller’s belief that Dele Alli was our best player against Red Bull Leipzig when he was substituted – and that Mourinho was in danger of ruining what Mauricio Pochettino had built.
Quite how this chap made Dele better than invisible that night is one matter, but idea that Poch achieved anything tangible at all – is frankly bizarre. The Argentine was a nice guy, but he didn’t win anything, and he was drifting horribly when he was eventually dismissed.
