Regular readers will be aware the charm of players off duty is something that usually passes me by. This video from Moussa Sissoko however make a pleasant change from the usual guff.
Perhaps Tottenham Hotspur should find out who produced this and hire them?
Spurs host Juventus in a friendly tournament, the International Champions Cup, on Sunday 4 August. Kick-off is scheduled for 1500hrs.
Now that is how to get ready for pre-season. I think Dele could learn a few lessons from big Mousa.
What impressed me most about the video, is on the one clip where there was a football, he passed it forward…admittedly only fractionally, but lets hope he realises its a legal move in society rules football. Its only Rugby where you need to pass sideways or backwards.
See the toon are replacing Rafa with Bruce!! they may as well start in the championship this season as they will be there next with no question. Bruce is possibly the worst manager of the ex united players ever.

No…he cant! If we are in full flow attack then he passes back to the full backs allowing the opposition to recover (which was basically all of last season) it impacts us. Football is not NFL, you cant have a player that is only any use as a defensive player anymore, even our CB’s are expected to be able to pick a pass.
I WISH, I really do, that I could see Sissoko as this great player that many seem to see him as, but I see a guy that performed well as a defensive midfielder for 2/3rds of a season (out of 3 full seasons), performed well as a ball carrier for about 10games out of about 120 and has scored 2 goals (6 assists) in that time. I know he is not an attacking player, but Kante has 4 goals 4 assists last season alone.
My ONLY real thing I have never questioned about Sissoko is his commitment. His effort is actually 2nd to none in our squad.
Good job he’s feeling refreshed seeing as the right honourable member for tottenham has lost his fucking chequebook. AGAIN
He can pass it back anytime he likes. Especially if he’s just monstered some oppo off the ball.
