Pathetic story of the day

Pathetic story of yesterday goes to the Daily Express with the daft headline that Mauricio POchettino is 'rocked' because a Tottenham pair will leave this summer.

They have had a lot of stupid stories lately and suggesting Christian Eriksen and Nabil Bentaleb will, not might, leave. Yes Nabil Bentaleb might, but Christian Eriksen won't. The stupidity originates on a site that I counted recently had seven adverts you have to work through to find the article. That tells you all you need to know really.

It also shows where the national press get their information from, the Internet, not inside knowledge as many assume. Football journalists are merely professional writers who happen to write about football, rarely do they have a coaching qualification or first-hand experience.

Spurs it is incorrectly claimed will listen to offers of £30 million if he wants to leave, which he doesn't. Nor would £30 million be enough to secure his services. It's a story written by someone who doesn't know what they are trying to create a non-existent story.

Fans from other clubs may be fooled, Spurs fans aren't.
