Tottenham 1-2 Juventus
Posted at 12:56
Over 31,000 turned up at the MCG tonight, but the Spurs contingent will be going home disappointed. A last-minute shot from Shayon Harrison after a great run down the right is pushed away by Neto, and that's game over in Australia.

Spurs will be back at the G on Friday to face Atletico Madrid.

31,000 in a stadium that holds over 100,000. imagine the reaction if a game involving us had been played in a stadium with 70,000+ empty seats??

Ssn hilarious at the minute.

Covering the pogba move - "he established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world last season"
Followed by the most bullshit stats you've ever seen trying to quantify everything. Including how many shots he had on target for a midfielder in serie a.

Then is goes to the Stones move - "pep wants a ball playing defender, but stones has tendencies to overplay".

Then they show aguero scoring against everton in the league cup semi.
"Stones was taken off immediately afterwards"
"He regained form but didn't play one minute at the euros".

That's some embarrassingly one sided coverage.

Woodward willing to pay Pogba agent £28 million fee . David Silva cost us just £24 million and Yaya around the same . Woodward is a prick but the rag media will claim this as "good" business , hypocritical , unbalanced or biased take your pick !

I am waiting patiently for the balanced reporting from the media.

Mercenary foreigners joining the Rags for massive salaries with no CL football available. Money before ambition.
The Rags are ruining football by trying to buy their way to success by inflating transfer fees and throwing money at said mercenaries.
The total cost of a deal i.e. transfer fees + agent fees + salary + performance bonus + loyalty payts + anything we can think of to inflate the price

TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK, TICK......

P.S. Even recognition that Sir Slur made a massive mistake (or did he - I have my doubts about Mr. Pogba)

So the BBC gossip shows the rags about to pay 100 mill for pogba.

just below that they put the MUEN reference that if they miss out on Pogbad the nog, they will go for Matuidi, ex of Chelski and now in France , for 29 mill.

Still too expensive but good for a mid table team.

Rags prepare yourselves for the 29 mill waste of space.

I just made a snotty comment on some site that described the rags signing Pogba as a "coup"

reports today that pogba rejected us, natch

[patrickblue]

Also lots of headlines along the lines of,

Bailly: I snubbed Man City in favour of Man Utd move.

Best start the snubbometer thread again.

Strange. They don't seem to know the structure of the fee as reported everywhere else.

Actually I'm quite sure they do. But I don't think that would suit their agenda very well would it?
