Winks’s breakthrough came in the Premier League game against West Ham United on 19 November. Thrust into the starting lineup, he scored the equaliser for 1-1 and more than justified Pochettino’s faith in him as Tottenham won 3-2. He ran over to celebrate with the manager following his goal, which illustrated the bond between the two and Pochettino would reveal that Winks said thank you to him in his office after the game.

“The manager called me in,” Winks says. “I was just about to get into the shower and I had my towel on. He was there with all the coaches and they were having a glass of wine. He said: ‘Well done,’ and he gave me a cuddle. He understood how difficult the season before had been for me, travelling and not playing, and he said that. I just said: ‘Thank you very much for the opportunity, for progressing me to the first team.’ That goal was like a thank you. It’s why I ran to him after it.”

Hang on. So I have to buy two West Ham shirts this season? Wow, thanks Karren.

They're surely close to being reduced to 25 quid now anyway.

Mane is on the bench for Liverpool tonight.

Ahem

[Baddar]

Still expecting 3-2 Arsenal by the end, mind.

[Kaney]

3 90 minute penalties pls?

[Jimmy]

joke that Rodwell is still on the pitch after a proper cynical challenge on Dembele. 

and now Rose has gone off injured, ffs. 

[Baddar]

Nice free kick from Luiz.

[stokeriño]

LUIZ ACTUALLY SCORED A GOAL!

[Baddar]

These are some pleasing HT scores. How are Spurs playing, @Jimmy?

[Jimmy]

Not great, really. We've only tested their keeper once and maybe Sunderland have even been the better side. Obvs a little biased, but think Rodwell should've been sent off, and losing Rose, who has potentially been our best player this season, is a blow. But yeah, still optimistic we'll sort it out, even if we've not got the greatest bench of all time. Sunderland are making it scrappy & trying to hit us on the counter, which is exactly what they should be doing. We'll see where it goes from here, Dembele has been fantastic, everyone else a little sub par. 

[Baddar]

I've just been moaning because the one time I actually have Spurs to win by 3 in the predictions they can't score, yet when I go 1-0 they score 3 or 4. Pisstake. 

[stokeriño]

Don't worry, Alli will pop up with a random winner in the second half.

[Baddar]

Looks like Mane has hurt his knee in the warm up.
